* KarmaHoudini: Downplayed with Darius; while he beats the charges, the only person in his life who he actually cared about has disowned him and he has to live with the AwfulTruth about his parentage, which seems to mess him up even more.

* KarmaHoudiniWarranty: The SVU unit's warranty expires in this episode. While they are protagonists that aggressively investigate sex crimes, most of them have done things throughout the show's run that are unethical at best, outright criminal at worst (Olivia sending money to her suspected rapist brother, Elliot getting his daughter off scot-free for a DUI, and Fin's suspicious activities while undercover are the most significant). These incidents allow Darius Parker, who killed a woman and her baby, to discredit their testimonies and escape any punishment whatsoever for a crime he definitely committed. All of the SVU (save Munch) get punished after the trial's conclusion for their behavior.

Darius Parker (Music/{{Ludacris}}), goes on trial for the rape and murder of a woman with any mention of her fourteen-month-old child deemed inadmissible. The case brings Fin under fire from the media and even has Munch and Stabler at odds. Novak prosecutes the trial that brings Stabler and Tutuola, among others, to the stand. Many previous stories are brought into the trial, such as Stabler's daughter Kathleen's DUI, and Benson's illegal money-wiring to her half-brother, Simon Marsden (Creator/MichaelWeston). It is also revealed that Kathy Stabler, Elliot's wife, is pregnant again.
