When young Bailee Madison disappears from the home of foster parents Peter Strauss and Joan Cusack the SVU squad gets brought in as it involves a child. This episode takes some unusual directions in the plot involving the disappearance of the couple's own natural daughter some years ago.
The squad of course gets into that case and with some fresh eyes looking at it discovers the truth. But the real issue here is the extraordinary over protectiveness that the parents especially Cusack displays. Not for nothing does Madison refer to her as my 'smother'. This woman is clearly unhinged, but why she is that way is for the detectives to investigate and you to watch the episode for.
Madison is quite good as the foster child who is a kind of victim here however the story comes out. So is Cusack.
More than SVU fans should appreciate this story.
