16-year-old Emily Sullivan's body is found in the trunk of her car, and now Benson and Stabler are investigating. It initially seems that the victim could have been killed by Agnes Linsky (Creator/LindsayHollister), a girl she had bullied. Agnes failed to get a restraining order against Emily and is near-suicidal from the bullying, giving her a motive. But DNA evidence suggests Emily was killed by her friends Brittany O'Malley (Creator/KelliGarner), Andrea Kent (Creator/ArielleKebbel), and Page Summerby (Creator/KimberlyMcConnell); Brittany was angry at what she saw as Emily "stealing" her boyfriend. The girls tied up Emily in the car, and then Brittany tortured her to death.
