YMMV / Law & Order: Special Victims Unit S6 E12 "Padre Sandunguero"

• Alternative Character Interpretation: In the final scene, is Amaro Sr. actually recognizing his own failings, offering closure and trying to make things right/keep his son from making the same mistakes he did, or is it just a continuation of the cycle of abuse, namely the part in which the abuser apologizes and makes nice with the victim as a way of trying to keep the victim from completely breaking free?
• Tear Jerker: Almost the entire episode, especially if you're a Nick Amaro fan.
• The Woobie: Amaro. If his abusive father coming back into his life to tell him he's marrying a woman younger than Amaro and his family getting angry at him for being reluctant to accept the wedding invitation isn't enough, there is also said father promptly being arrested for assaulting his new wife, which terrifies Amaro's daughter, Amaro being forced to testify against him, thus alienating his family, and finally, Amaro's father being declared not guilty and getting one last power trip on him, ending the episode with Amaro looking completely dead inside.
