* ShownTheirWork: The writers of the episode pulled a real legal trick out for how Barba wins the case for Jenny without making her sit through decades of restitution trials from the creeps who'd downloaded her videos: [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joint_and_several_liability joint and several liability]] is when one person out of a long list of perpetrators is forced to shoulder the entire burden of the financial penalties and then must settle with the other perpetrators on his/her/their own. Barba finds one of them to be a billionaire and forces ''him'' to cough up a lump sum and then settle the rest on his own time. Jackpot.

* DespairEventHorizon: Jenny has one when Benson and Rollins inform her that the Lacy videos are still being distributed (which she had just barely found out about as she had repressed the memories of their creation). This causes a mental breakdown in which she shows up at Dr. Lindstrom’s office while he’s in session with Olivia and tries to force herself on him stripping her robe off leaving her in nothing but her underwear insisting that she’s Lacy. Olivia and Peter are able to quickly talk her down reducing her to tears after being comforted by both of them.

* KarmaHoudini: Jenny's mother suffers no repercussions for her treatment of Jenny, not even a verbal smackdown, since the detectives play up to her belief she did nothing wrong, to get information, and then just leave her be. Her life seems to be pretty miserable though.

* RevisitingTheColdCase: Inadvertently. The [=FBI=] was never able to identify the identity Lacy, referring to her as Lacy Unknown. O’ Connell exclaimed that there was doubt that she’d be found at all and he was surprised she was still alive given the level of abuse she had suffered.
