@@CandiceGoddardThat's exactly what happened. He only went for the mother BECAUSE he's a predator and he wanted the little girl. Happens waaaay too often, unfortunately.
Its heartbreaking this 13 year old kid don't understand what the stepfather did to her is wrong for so many reasons. She is just a kid. Kids cant tell what love is only desire. This is one messed up situation. Makes me glad its just a tv show.
They weren’t lying or play dirty, the girl did end up killing an innocent guy because she didn’t realize that she was in an inappropriate relationship with her stepfather.
Bravo well done to these actor’s they are really good at getting you invested (the girl and her husband/stepfather) whoever played them should get an award because they are top tier actors/actresses
It is sickening that a stepfather fell in love with his step daughter when she was a child herself. He doesn't even realize that he is a pedophile and his step daughter was the victim. She was confused over the fact that he stole her innocence and brainwashed her that got her friend killed.
@@noobmasters6913 The dude is a pedophile. Getting romantically involved with a 13 year old girl who is her step-daughter? The kid was obviously extremely depressed over her mother's death and the creepo Daddio took advantage of that. If he honestly really loved her, he would have just sent her off to her aunt.
@@shanereid5292 he kidnapped olivia & planned on raping Olivia. Olivia almost beat him to death. Then came back and destroyed her in the court room. Then kidnapped her again and killed himself in front of her
This whole episode was written so Benson could be some kind of social worker and shrink. Why don't they just bring in these two types of characters so it can add some realism to the series?
@Ricky Parmar Benson was more worried about the baby and thought that Mackenzie was an innocent child. We still don't know if she set her step-dad (or husband) up. Remember that big fight at the beginning? Not exactly a loving couple.
Stephen Tobolowsky, the actor playing the lawyer, has been in a lot of movies and TV shows, most recently One Day At a Time; he was up for the role of Max Greevey on Law and Order, among others...
To think, none of this woulda came out if they hadn’t gotten into at the beginning. But even so, they still cooked up quite a lie. Even when it was just the two of them, they came off as only having a father-daughter relationship. They really did a good job in playing everybody
It's always worth watching the actors in the background of any scene, because you never know when there's going to be a good reaction. At about 1:25, I noticed that Stone was watching that awful speech and looks away. They cut angles quickly, but it sure looked like a restrained 'I can't even' disgust reaction. Nice touch.
For the hundredth millionth time, Chris meloni made it clear to a fan that he will never return to svu, the only time he will return is for the series finale
Have you seen him lately? He's really overweight, bald, grey and wouldn't be believable as anything except Benson's dad, in a stretch. He's the classic example of a person who left a good gig to become a "movie star," only to flop big time. He hasn't anything of real merit -- just a few mediocre comedies. Too bad, because he was great as Stabler.
@@tencontento9177 lol true. But in all fairness, it's expected. Some people don't want to be known for just one role. Look at Barba. He was in SVU for a 6 seasons and was one of the best ADAs in L&O universe but he wanted to get out and pursue other stuff.
I'll admit that this episode was damn good. But am I the only one who feels annoyed that they are giving Olivia wayy too much screen time? I like looking at mariska hargatay but its overkill sometimes. She's a cop one min then she's a counselor the next. They should have just added more fresh faces seasons ago.
I totally agree. I've been saying this. But she's the Executive Producer so she can do that. She will be the death of this show if people start tuning out.
Sim ? If you look at the season covers she has become the main character in the series. She is front and center with everyone else in the background or just slightly to the side. She is the longest running cast member of the series. I think that may be why they are giving her more (that and the obvious reason of her being an executive producer and all).... Though I do agree they need to bring in other roles, they used to have a physiologist recurring character, but after ADA Alexandra Cabot went into witness protection they started to reduce the roles.
Ian going to lie. He played his rule good . and she did too. both lawyers did a good job . They looked so disappointed. And Olivia did amazing like always
I like the way the Step-dad and stepdaughter play this out. I'm not saying what he did was right but I like the fact that they both show they're in love with one another. A change of pace from ones where the victim is manipulated or almost brainwashed by the predator
The lawyer tried to tell the stepdad to shut his mouth and not confess, but he did in front of the ADA and the lieutenant investigating his case. Only thing to do is take a plea deal
A big thank you to the L&O channel for including the episode number (s20e20) in the description so that it wouldn't require looking it up to figure it out... /s
They did their homework for this episode. Carruthersville, MO really is a destination for child brides and guys wanting to avoid statutory rape charges.
actually they go to California. ACLU and Planned Parenthood oppose efforts to put a min marriage age in Calif. "California Child Marriage Ban Faces Opposition From Planned Parenthood. With child marriage still legal in California, advocates are mounting a campaign to push the state to enact a ban, but their effort is facing surprising opposition from progressive groups like Planned Parenthood." from Newsweek
I'm just curious, but if this was a real case. What would they do to stop the stepdaughter and father from seeing each other? Plus it's not like they can stop them after 20 yrs when he is released or early release. Counseling? Maybe she'll say no and ignore any help they give her and pursue him. Then what?
They wouldn’t stop them bc 1 they have a kid together and would need to see each other and 2 they are married and would both be adults yes the guy’s disgusting for not waiting til she was 18 but still they married now and have a kid coming
The the step dad fell in love with a 13 year old teenager. This dude is crazy and shes so desperate for him like wtf. She shouldn't be pregnant and if she going to be with anyone it should be with someone around her age.
Damn! You Go Olivia!!!! My favourite female character of SVU!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️ l can't wait to watch this episode! By the way, what episode is this clip from?!
This is so unrealistic with how the situation changed in an instant like that. Anyone with half a brain would know that this is a bait. If this was actually real the man would say "nice try, I am not falling for that". Charging the girl for being a victim would never happen.
@@doctorpostingshe is hard character always believing female victims even they are culprits she is verry biased but sametimes carrisi tell her to see bigger picture
He could've waited until she was 18. Then again, if she finished high school a year early and was legally emancipated, then it wouldn't be considered statutory rape anymore.
U.S. law is pretty rediculous, 31 states (including California and Florida) have no legal age minimum for marriage. I think they should do something about it, like a SCOTUS ruling.
