* MetaphoricallyTrue: Murphy knowingly lies that Olivia's confession was part of the operation to draw Lewis out of hiding. However, as SVU helped film the confession out of worry that Lewis would kill a child, it technically ''was'' part of the operation.
* MovingTheGoalposts: Strauss becomes quickly aware that nobody is interested in his little conspiracy theory, and instead pivots to try and nail Olivia for lying during Lewis's trial.

* IdiotBall: Strauss tries to push the idea that Benson murdered Lewis and, along with the entire SVU squad, tried to cover up the murder as a suicide, based on ambiguous physical evidence which would fit either theory of the death equally well. He does this even though the twelve-year-old victim, Amelia, was present and can testify that Lewis specifically announced that he intended to commit suicide in such a way as to frame Benson for his murder. Conveniently for him she fails to mention this during her testimony even though she has the opportunity to do so.

Refusing to accept that, Olivia plans to retire from the NYPD first and save her pension, but temporary SVU commanding officer Lieutenant Declan Murphy is able to convince the grand jury that Olivia lied under oath to lure Lewis out, and also brings up Lewis' psychotic past to further convince them that Olivia is innocent. The grand jury are moved and refuse to indict Benson, thus resulting in Lewis' final play against Benson in framing her for his death to be in vain. He would burn in Hell for eternity while Olivia could move on with her life and be reinstated as commanding officer of her SVU squad, thanking Lt. Murphy for all his help.

Continuing from after William Lewis committed suicide so he would never face prison or the police ever again, Olivia is taken back to the precinct by Amaro, but the squad is deeply concerned about Olivia's well-being after what she just went through.
Worse, since Lewis committed suicide with his off hand, and Olivia's fingerprints are all over the revolver from playing Russian Roulette, Lewis' final card against Olivia was framing her for his death, which the IAB officers are willing to go with by ruling it justifiable homicide, but Benson knows it won't be the truth.
As a result, a grand jury is convened to see if Benson will face charges of murdering Lewis and lying under oath. What's worse for Olivia, if she takes the stand, no matter what she tries to testify against, Lewis' death or her earlier beating of him, she'll face jail time no matter what.
Refusing to accept that, Olivia plans to retire from the NYPD first and save her pension, but temporary SVU commanding officer Lieutenant Declan Murphy is able to convince the grand jury that Olivia lied under oath to lure Lewis out, and also brings up Lewis' psychotic past to further convince them that Olivia is innocent.

However, Olivia had one last thing to do: Go to the morgue and see Lewis' corpse one last time, glad to see that the scumbag who caused her so much grief was gone for good, rotting in Hell where he belonged.
