  • Broken Aesop: The episode begins with Benson and Stabler taking the case from an old fashioned cop who was quick to dismiss the possibility that the victim was raped because “she wasn’t wearing her refusal outfit”. He was portrayed as a Straw Misogynist, emblematic of antiquated police. This portrayal was undercut by the fact that he turned out to be right, it wasn’t a rape-homicide, the victim had consensual sex before committing suicide.
