This week on Law & Order SVU, the show opens on a family of three (mom, dad, and daughter) relaxing at home. The dad and daughter are watching a basketball game on TV. The mom, Joan, has to answer the door bell. They think it’s the Chinese food delivery boy. It’s not. It’s a gun man who takes the mother out, then everyone else. By the time the detectives arrive on the scene, the word ‘Queer’ has been graffiti on the living room wall. The mom was an executive at the Gay Rights Coatlition. Even Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is shocked at the vicious execution style killing of a whole family. Cue the theme music.
This is not a summary of the episode; it is a recap of the five best moments of the show. Here’s the countdown to the Five Best Moments of the Show.
#5 Best Moment of the Show. Detective Benson and Nick Amaro (Danny Pino) are questioning the remaining head of the Gay Rights Coalition when she reveals that Joan and she ‘were involved’ ‘She was my life.’ Joan was going to leave her husband, Sydney, as soon as her daughter Emmie got a little older. OMG, she was living a secret life.
The investigation of the home invasion and shooting on this week's episode of Law & Order: SVU leads to a startlingly revelation about Rollins. Read the review to find out if her gambling. Amanda was sitting at the bar table at Surf's Pub. She was having a glass of beer and gambling. She was playing a game of cards and would beat every time. “Law & Order: SVU” season 15, episode 17: “Gambler’s Fallacy” airs tonight on NBC. On tonight’s episode, Detective Amanda Rollins’ addiction drives her to an illegal gambling club. The Law & Order: SVU Podcast - Jamie Gray Hyder on Her Knockout Episode (Season 21 Episode 13) CLIP 02/06/20 Carisi and Rollins Can't Protect Esperanza from the Law - Law & Order: SVU. Sergeant Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) has been put through the ringer after being brutally attacked and kidnapped, and now the spotlight is on Detective Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) and her.
#4 Best Moment of the Show. Benson and Amaro are questioning the maid who Sydney accuses of stealing from her employer. “I never stole any jewelry. I would never. 14 years I work for them. Sydney gets in trouble, he blames me…He pawned those earrings himself. Sydney was a gambler, he owed big. He had already sold off his autograph baseball, his watch.’ Where were you Friday night? “Bible Study. My brother (the ex-con) was leading the session” Cut to Esai Morales leading the congregation in a frenzy of a sermon. His sister was telling the truth, bible.
#3 Best Moment of the Show. Detectives Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish) is just finishing pumping gas when the bar tender/bookie from the last scene comes up behind her and punches her in the stomach. He punches her again as he threatens her. “You’re into it good. If you’re even thinking of going to your Captain, you won’t even see us coming.” That’s a threat she takes seriously. Smart girl. But she still comes clean to her partner, Detective Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T), who backs her all the way. He engineers a crackdown on the illegal gambling operation, and uncovers all the dirty cops who are in bed with the loan shark.
#2 Best Moment of the Show. Rollins finally works up enough nerve to come clean with Captain Craigen. Turns out he already knows about her gambling. He completely understands, because he’s been in her shoes. Years ago his own Captain got him help instead of firing him. “You’re a good detective, Amanda. I don’t want to end your career. So I’m going to get you help. But if you screw up again, you’re going down.” Rollins loses it and gets all tearful. In barges Benson and Amaro, “Father (Syndey) and daughter (Emmie) tested positive for the same strand of Herpes.” Man, the bad news just keeps coming.
Finally, the #1 Best Moment of the Show. Turns out Sydney has been abusing his daughter Emmie for months. She told the housekeeper and her brother. Both were determined to save her from ‘the devil’. But Emmie wanted both her dad and her mother dead. You see her mother knew about the abuse and didn’t stop it. Emmie says, “She was more worried about saving the world than saving her own daughter.” Her boyfriend hugs her, wants to save her. But she motions for him not to worry, because “I’m free. I’m free now.“ I’d have to agree. The abusers are out of her life, for good.
Craigen takes Rollins to a gambler support group, “You’re here. It’s the first step.” Looks like Rollins took that all important first step on the road to recovery.
Next week on Law & Order SVU, seven victims of a serial killer were ‘ripped from the headlines’. Benson decides to turn the table on him.
