Mrs. Walker (Creator/GailOgrady) visits the SVU to report her granddaughter Sierra missing. Sierra's mother Ashley (Music/HilaryDuff) is suspected of killing her - but when the body is discovered, it emerges Sierra died from measles since she was too young to be vaccinated. The SVU establishes that she was infected after another child passed on the disease at a public playground; his mother, Monica Stewart (Creator/AnastasiaBarzee), refuses to vaccinate on religious grounds. Ashley's family hires a celebrity lawyer to sue the city, and the case quickly becomes politically contentious. Stabler and Benson are forced to arrest Stewart, but she is found not guilty of criminally negligent homicide.
