Last night’s episode of Law & Order SVU ended up being a lot like most of them; an interesting case but, for some reason, felt like something we had seen before.
This time around they are investigating the rape and homicide of a teenager who is found in a sleazy motel. It turns out the killer is actually a guy who was invited to the motel by the girl herself and he accidentally killed her during sex. Too easy to solve in my opinion and the additional storyline involving her with some sort of unlicensed therapist who raped her and used her kind of dragged the story out a bit.
That story involving the one witness on heroine and the fact he could be cured with a drug that is illegal in this country because none of the drug companies can make money on it was somewhat interesting. But, the ending was a bit predictable too. When he shows up at the end talking to the bad guy, you just knew it was some sort of police sting and he was involved with it.
It was an OK episode but it really wasn’t anything that made me glad I watched it instead of Ghost Hunters at 8 p.m.
