Carisi asks the Special Victims Unit for help with a murder investigation when one of the witnesses shows signs of abuse.
Tropes
- The Bus Came Back: Callie Thorne as Nikki Staines returns, after her last appearance in season 20's "End Game".
- Females Are More Innocent: Played straight with Benson and Carisi bending over backwards to absolve Tori and Jasmine of a gang murder they were involved in.
- With All Due Respect: Said by Carisi to his higher-ups urging a lighter sentence for the defendants who are victims of sex trafficking.
