* AssholeVictim: In any other episode, the way that the SVU harasses Harris would be ripe for ProtagonistCenteredMorality. But here, knowing exactly how completely he's destroyed Vicki's life, every ounce of suffering he gets is ''completely'' deserved.

* ShaggyDogStory: Having no evidence against Harris, the detectives relentlessly hound him until he snaps and says "You're all the same" which makes Olivia think he has other victims, so they check the federal database for similar patterns. In other words, the only thing the detectives got from their illegal campaign of harassment was the idea to check for information that they already had (and would have checked first if any of them were remotely competent).

* NeverendingTerror: A particularly twisted example with serial rapist Bill Harris, who takes sick pleasure in stalking and tracking his victims after their first assault and then raping them again and again at random points in their lives. One woman, Vicki Sayers, is so broken by the experience that her career, marriage, family and entire life got to pieces as she becomes afraid of ANY human interaction, or even leaving her house...forcing her to live in painful solitude. Bill gets pleasure from knowing he's the only thing these women think about, every moment of their lives. The team finally catches him, but not until after he kidnaps Vicki and holds her for over 12 hours.

* BeautyInversion: Jennifer Love Hewitt is known for being a particularly attractive woman with a lovely pair of, ahem, assets. Indeed, the casting director was reluctant to put her in this role specifically because she's so beautiful. But in this episode she's dressed down, goes without almost any makeup, and has her hair done in a plain manner to help emphasize how broken-down and terrified she's become after years of being stalked and raped.
