Recap / Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S18E13 "Genes"

Go To

Written By Rick Eid and Celine C Robinson

Directed By Michael Pressman

A woman claims to have been raped after walking home from the bar, and the prime suspect readily confesses to the crime, claiming to have inherited a rapist gene from his own father. Such claims understandably make Benson think back to her and her adopted son Noah's own fathers, and whether Noah has any chance of turning out like Johnny D.
