* {{Misblamed}}: Benson and Fin receive the brunt of the blame for the Jayvon Brown fiasco when the real cops to blame are arguably the uniformed officers who cuffed him without probable cause. Benson and Fin were unaware Colleen Reynolds called the police prior to Eric being found and the arresting officers never mentioned this to them, giving the impression they were acting by-the-book. Benson and Fin only ended up bringing him in because he already had outstanding warrants for protesting and his refusal to answer questions didn't help in ruling him out as Eric's rapist any faster.

* ItsAllAboutMe: After Jayvon Brown is cleared for Eric Aquino's assault, he refuses to help SVU by answering them about if he saw Joe Murphy acting suspiciously. While it's completely understandable he's angry at the NYPD for his wrongful arrest, he potentially hinders getting a rapist off the streets by prioritizing his anger.

* DownerEnding: The grand jury declines to indict Joe Murphy after he plays on their prejudices towards the police (though as it's not an acquittal, he can still be arrested in the future if more evidence is gathered), Eric Aquino is still in a coma and it's unclear if he'll wake up, and Jayvon Brown is suing the NYPD, including Benson and Fin personally, for wrongful arrest.
