Written By Warren Leight and Julie Martin

Directed By Sharat Raju

Detective Tutuola comes across leaked security footage of a violent domestic dispute in an stairwell bleeding out to a parking garage, showing sportscaster A.J. Martin (Chad L. Coleman) hit his girlfriend Paula (Meagan Good). When they confront Paula, she pushes back to keep her relationship and family intact, claiming that she and A.J. just had a minor disagreement. Benson, however, pushes back herself and gets ADA Barba involved to show Paula that her life doesn't have to revolve around her husband. Meanwhile, the case has an interesting effect on Rollins and Amaro's relationship, as the trial brings to light Amaro's own anger issues that Rollins then tries to aggravate.
