Added DiffLines:

* ArtisticLicenseLaw: Benson nearly gets Warner killed by giving up her handgun, despite having it aimed right at Sophie's head. Police would never do this in real life and Warner getting shot shows why. Even worse, Benson only makes such a foolish move merely to up the drama and prevent Sophie from being killed, since she is innocent in her son's death.

* PreMortemOneLiner: subverted, as Sophie does not blow off her lying, filicidal husband's head off after delivering the great one-liner:
--> '''Paul:''' God, it was just an accident!\\
'''Sophie:''' Tell God in person!
* RedHerring: The detectives discover Sophie hired an ex-military bounty hunter who specialises in kidnapping children to grab her son. When they arrive at his place, there's evidence of stalking Nicholas everywhere and he knocks out Olivia. However, as soon as Elliot identifies himself as a cop, he immediately surrenders and explains his work is part of custody disputes, reuniting children with their legal guardians. When he found out Sophie had lied and that her husband had full custody, he quit the job, but kept the money as compensation for his work up to that point.

Added DiffLines:

* TheMainCharactersDoEverything:
** Stabler handles the hostage situation because all of ESU, every last one of them, is handling a situation at the GW bridge.
** Benson winds up giving Warner a chest tube because Sophie's firm grip on the ConflictBall means she won't allow Warner to be transported to medical assistance until the plot allows for it.
