Warning: Spoilers
In this episode of SVU a killer played by Jared Harris, who plays many villians has a girl killing for him. He is incarcerated but she is in love with him, enough to slaughter an innocent victim for him. Her victim is a right of passage for him, she believes she can be like him. She attacks a woman and the woman looks like a victim off of the cover of a graphic novel. The novels are connected to Harris and he wants her victim to look that way. They meet in court and she wants him to praise her for her efforts. He claims she is a hack and that she could never be on his echelon of skill. In the rest of the ep removed remains of the victim are recovered from a cemetery and Novak puts the nail in his coffin by offering him a raw deal. He thinks he's being tramsferred to a federal facility with perks but it is a facility with no contact, visitors, mail, he ends up in solitary for the rest of his sentence. A surprising part of the ep is when Fin brings up a pizza box with Olivia's name on the front. He says hey Olivia, I've got your pizza. She says I didn't order a pizza then Lake takes the pizza because he doesn't want to throw it out. The pizza turns out to be a pipe bomb. There is even an intruder at Olivia's apartment, they have a scuffle he cuts her and she trounces him good with a book off of her shelf. This is one of the best episodes of the series, it is a must see.
