History Recap / LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS12E24Smoked

* DepravedBisexual: Peter Bronson is said to be a gay man and is even presented having few CampGay stereotypes. He also raped Annette Fox.

* RememberTheNewGuy: Annette Fox's rape two years prior was handled by Benson and Stabler, and both Jenna (Annette's daughter) and Peter Bronson (Annette's rapist) are already acquainted to them. All three characters are introduced this episode.

* ArcSymbol: Too much focus is given on guns all throughout the episode.
* ArcWords: The word "Gun(s)" has been mentioned a lot throughout the episode, and for good (bad?) reason.

* EndOfAnAge: This episode is dubbed by many as the end of the "classic" SVU run, and for good reason. Original cast member Creator/ChristopherMeloni (Elliot Stabler) departs the show after this episode, and ditto Season 2 addition Creator/BDWong (George Huang). It also features the death of long-time (circa Season 3) RecurringCharacter Sister Peg. And while they didn't appear this episode, this season in general closes with the final appearances to date of the show's resident judges Lena Petrovsky and Elizabeth Donnelly.

* DownerEnding: The episode ends with Elliot having to shoot Jenna down after she went on a shooting spree inside the precinct.

* DidNotThinkThisThrough: Greer gives a handgun to Eddie without considering the fact that the latter has been a felon most of his life.
* DiedInYourArmsTonight: Elliot rushes to Jenna right after he was [[ShootTheDog forced to shoot her]] and tends to her until she has her last breath. Olivia is also seen tending to Sister Peg right after the latter was shot.

* IronicDeath: Sister Peg dealt with mentally unstable homeless people, vicious pimps, and drug addicts on a daily basis, not to mention the various attempts on her life, and the person who (accidentally) kills her? A random teenage girl who was aiming at someone else. Then again, Sister Peg risking her life and heroically sacrificing herself is very appropriate.

* AbsenteeActor: Creator/RichardBelzer (JustForFun/JohnMunch), Creator/TamaraTunie (Melinda Warner), Creator/BDWong (George Huang), and Creator/DannFlorek (Donald Cragen) sit this episode out.

* AdultFear: The possibility of a child being able to easily acquire a handgun off the street and use it, especially when consumed by thoughts of vengeance and retribution.

* EndOfAnAge: This episode is dubbed by many as the end of the "classic" SVU run, and for good reason. Original cast member Creator/ChristopherMeloni (Elliot Stabler) departs the show after this episode, ditto Season 2 additions Creator/TamaraTunie (Melinda Warner) and Creator/BDWong (George Huang).

* PutOnABus: Creator/ChristopherMeloni, Creator/TamaraTunie, and Creator/BDWong depart the show after this episode.

** Each scene she appears, Jenna appears increasingly erratic.

* SmallRoleBigImpact: Jenna Fox only appears in this episode, but in one episode she kills a RecurringCharacter since Season 3 and the consequences of stopping her leads to the retirement of an original cast member.

* WhamEpisode: The effects of Jenna Fox's RoaringRampageOfRevenge causes an impact

The SVU squad's latest case involves a rape victim who was supposed to testify soon, but was shot and killed during the night with her daughter bearing witness to the murder. The victim, Annette Fox, had tried to fight off a mugger that tried to take her purse, but then the thief pulled out a gun and shot Annette in the head at point-blank range, killing her instantly, with her daughter, Jenna Fox, witnessing the whole event.

As a result, Jenna is hoping that the SVU team can avenge her mother and find her killer. Attention is drawn to the suspect Annette was to testify against, her rapist, Luke Ronson. He's arrested after it's discovered he had an unloaded gun, but it wasn't the murder weapon, much to Jenna's dismay. However, back at the shelter, Luke is seen arguing with Eddie Skinner, who tries to escape when confronted by the SVU detectives, but is caught and arrested. Luke reveals that he hired Eddie to intimidate Annette, but not kill her, but Eddie never agreed to killing her. Luckily, the ADA arrests Luke and Eddie for witness tampering and assaulting a police officer. However, Eddie is taken by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF), to assist in an ATF sting to bust a cigarette smuggling ring, but an attempt by Detective Stabler to help Eddie results in the sting going wrong and Eddie escaping.

They tail Eddie back to Luke's apartment, finding him holding Luke at gunpoint, demanding money. Elliot manages to talk Eddie down and arrests both men again. Eddie admits to murdering Annette, then reveals where he got the murder weapon from for a reduced sentence. The weapon is tracked back to ATF Agent Greer, who is arrested as an accomplice to the murder of Annette. Sister Peg swings by the squad room later to drop off a picture of Annette and Jenna that Eddie wrote an address on.

* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: Subverted. Jenna manages to kill two of the three men who are responsible for her mother's death, but (by far) the worst of the three survives and goads her into getting killed by Stabler.
* WouldHurtAChild: For all it's worth, Jenna was only a young girl, but since she proved herself a threat to himself and his fellow NYPD members, Detective Stabler did what he had to do to protect them from Jenna's blind fury of {{Revenge}}.

* TheBadGuyWins: Eddie taunts and utterly breaks Jenna, which leads to her death. And he also survives being shot, meaning that she went on her shooting rampage [[AllForNothing for absolutely nothing]]. And given that he made a deal for a reduced sentence, he will eventually be free and back on the street (thought not likely for a long time) despite being a psychotic murderer and manipulator who is responsible directly and indirectly for the deaths of at least ''five people''.

Elliot and Olivia can do little but survey the carnage around them as Fin, Cragen, Munch, and the other officers and detectives start to pick up the pieces from what just transpired in their own squad room.
