* EveryoneHasStandards: Dr. Barnes has a large ego, but he's no rapist, nor does he let personal connections get in the way of the law.

Benson and Amaro investigate the disappearance of a teenage girl named Cate Avery (Creator/ShannonMareeWalsh) after her young brother (Creator/JakeKatzman) calls 9-1-1. While Tutuola and Rollins look into a possible abduction, they discover the girl had been searching for her biological father, an anonymous sperm donor (Creator/EricClose). The investigation takes a startling turn when a suspect (Creator/JamesVanDerBeek) is found to be targeting several young, vulnerable women, all with the same personal connection. The returning Dr. Huang (Creator/BDWong) must delve into the suspect's past to save the other women in similar situations.

* {{Gaslighting}}: Albers not convinces Barnes' donor daughters and his legitimate one that he's their real father, he makes them think that's okay for them to engage in incest.
