Season 13 picks up the storyline of the SVU team after the tragic shooting at the end of season twelve and by the end of the first episode we know we’re never seeing Elliot Stabler again. The beautiful 12 year partnership ends and we meet two new characters. Amanda, who I have fallen in love the first seen we meet her, when she asks some random guy at the precinct to stash her box somewhere, and Nick Amaro, a numb character, who I am still not sure a bout.

I’m watching the first four episodes of the season for the third time now.
Maid is raped, crawling out of the room ‘What’s going on, what happened to you?’
Guy has the balls to call for his laptop.
Amanda’s ‘Stash that for me somewhere, hun, thank you.‘
Acting of the maid.
‘I spit it out.‘
The description of rape.
‘He put it in my mouth, he hold my head so hard, until he finished.‘
Liv’s ‘Where did you spit it out?‘
Melinda’s ‘Get ready to get lucky.’
He laughted and said ‘That’s the difference between like and love.’
Finally, you brought my laptop.
Ron Rifkin guest stars.
Stephanie March guest stars.
Cabot meets Rollins.
‘And yet we do have probable cause.’
‘How’d he do?’
‘Everyone is staring.’
Rollins sucking up to Liv.
It’s not a check up it’s a procedure.
We’re professionals.
They actually show us the procedure.
A woman is measured by Cosmo.
Weakness. Most man are turned on by weakness.
Later I will be free and you’ll be out of your job.
Oh, Alex.
Okay, good, but if there’s any part of the story you’re leaving out…
No, he raped me, and he’s going to get away with it, do what he wants to me, just like the soldiers.
The missionary at the refuge camp, he told me, If I bring my sons to America, there is no violence, no fighting. Someone from Africa is the president of everything, everything.
So what? So he’s the sacrificial lamb? You’re just gonna give him up?
You know me better than that, he’s like a son to me.
And he’ll tell them to Go to hell.
Oh no Liv you didn’t just say that.
So, what’s her story? She must have some hooks to be transferred here from Atlanta.
She’s cool.
Elliot is probably afraid to talk to you Liv.
Ouch, she did this for money.
You promised Ms Cabot that this wasn’t about money.
Liv talking in Italian.
Alex Cabot, please. Good work Rollins.
What part about the South Sudan didn’t you hear.
This, if it’s even legitimate.
Oh, it’s legitimate.
This is not a story. This is why I came here. But you will believe what you will believe.
Olivia. I believe her.
If we press the case we can’t win we just tell the next victim that she’s better off staying silent.
If we let him walk we send the message to the rest of the world, that in New York the law doesn’t apply to the rich and the powerful. We are here to even those scales, not cut them run.
Woman see power, they find it attractive.
You mean they like it rough.
The dance is different every time.
Also part of the dance?
Are you sure she didn’t get those injuries trying to fight you off.
It’s in a woman’s eyes, no matter what the word say.
Even if a word is no? Even if she’s fighting you, scratching you, even if she’s calling for help less than 5 minutes after you fled your room after you you raped her. Did you see that in her eyes?
You had time to fly him in, but you didn’t have time to inform us?
She told me one soldier had raped her, I told her no, one dozen soldiers, this is better.
Olivia, do you think she’s telling the truth about the rape?
Yes, something bad happened to her in that room.
That’s all I need to hear.
Liv.
Nice working with you.
Elliot put his papers in, there was nothing I could do.
You wanna talk? You wanna take a day?
I’m fine.
Liv, I’m sorry.
You okay?
Yeah.
No, I’ll go, give me five and we’ll roll.
The writing was just very good this episode.

We’re hiring another detective?
We’re short on staff. You have a problem with that?

I used to be the earliest bird.
Good, so maybe you could help the new guys out a little, okay?
Description of assault.
He’s still couching, he’s still not doing whatever he didn’t do to you. You understand that?
My son is gay and he has to deal with that garbage on the streets everyday. Bravest man I know.
Olivia, I’m really sorry about Elliot.
Steve said that you got it worse than you did, when did coach stopped raping you.
How come you get so upset every time I bring it up?
I’m trying to resurrect your case and you don’t like my tactics.
He’s going to be doing bed checks and everything.
What we all have to remember is shame is not ours is his.

His Spanish is slightly better than yours and the girl lives with her Puertorican grandmother.
He’s your new partner?

Liv talking to the girl.
Well, somebody got you pregnant.

He said it was my fault that he couldn’t stop.
He got her drunk, the lemonade was spiked. She was a virgin, she said it hurt, she was crying, she said no.
There was no outcry afterwards, he sent her flowers.
What the hell is that supposed to mean? Counsellor, what the hell’s that mean?
You’re off. What I saw your anger pushed her disclosure.
I’m off? You and your office have lost your nerve.
Kid goes missing.
I’ll call, I’m sergeant.
We have his cell phone records, son.
And what were you doing there?
It’s not like he paid with the check, honey.
I just wanted you to call me your son. I just wanted you to say you love, why couldn’t you? I’m your son too.
Nice, Kyle.

He has an identical brother!
She drugged him, then she burned him up in font of Bryan.
I will talk to her, the blonde.
So If he doesn’t talk to the blonde he walks?Captain, we need a statement.
Can you lift up shirt? Lift up your shirt for me, baby. I wanna show you something.
It is your party.

Look at me, look at my face.
10/10 - 5
‘That’s my point, Ma.’
Amanda and Fin going from home to home and screaming ‘Treat or Treak!’ in their child voices, perfection.
Someone stole my baby, someone stole my son.
Check everything scene.
If I saw I would run, I don’t like babies.
They put a baby in a cooler.
The baby’s body.
Elliot would shook the shit out of them.
Baby under the table.
Would you let your son go out looking like a pumpkin?
The beautiful location where they buried the baby.

The opening.
I didn’t yell. I didn’t fight back.
You said that he had a gun, it was rape.
You’re alive. You did what you had to do.
Actually the bottle would be better.
I’ll remember for the next time.
Ouch, Liv, you screwed up.
That girl has just been robbed off all her power and all her humanity. And your best advise is pretend it never happened and walk away?
You’re not alone. I will be here every step of the way.
They don’t clean up when they’re done?
This is a huge burden to bear in my experience.
In your experience? Until you’ve been raped, you don’t get…
Camera.
That’s why I hate elevators, you know, no girl is gonna smile at some stranger who tries to get in her car.
I was raped.
Guy attacks Rollins, Fin and Amaro.
Remember when you (…) were that age.
Death by thousand paper cuts.
Bad identification.
Please don’t tell me he’s black.
Munch is all I’m a sergeant, I rule.
Oh, you’re in trouble.
I don’t know his name.
You were held at the gunpoint.
Prosecution is handling it well.
Don’t tell me it was worth it, that was so ugly.
Healing begins when someone bears witness. I saw you. I believe you.
I didn’t ask for company.
You said that if a white girl cries rape in that neighbourhood, she must have wanted it.
All I can think of is I’m so tired.
This is what happens if you live for the job.
I do okay on my own.
You sure about that?
The writing, proceeding and that case.
