* AssholeVictim: The episode ends with Randall Carver shooting Joe dead after getting him acquitted. Considering Joe was a racist scumbag who went after children due to them being "anchor babies" and secretly told Carver he was going to kill again, it's safe to say nobody was sad the son of a bitch was dead.

* JerkassHasAPoint: Clouded his judgment may be, Carver does make a good point of the fact that as long as racist pundits like Garrison continue to spread their bigotry via the Internet and the airways, there will always be those who go over the deep end and act on them.

When two young girls are similarly murdered a little over a month apart, Detective Tutuola decides to investigate the gruesome crimes. Benson puts him in touch with a reporter (Creator/MegalynEchikunwoke) who may have enough connections to get them a lead. After a third killing, Fin discovers that all three children were "anchor babies" of immigrant families and reaches out to the Center of Immigrant Services. After sifting through the Center's hate mail, and witnessing a fight between an immigration lawyer (Creator/JohnLarroquette) and a fanatic (Creator/ThomasSadoski) who follows a conservative talk show host (Creator/BruceMcGill), Fin begins to narrow in on the killer.
