* TheFriendNobodyLikes: Cragen is ''not'' happy Stabler brings Dr. Skoda in to help them with the case, even though they have very little hard data in the way of those who rape the elderly. He ultimately proves more of a hindrance than a help during the case and the entire SVU squad gets tired of him very fast, especially since nothing he does is very helpful in either catching their perp or helping to get him behind bars.
