Goofs:

Continuity: Towards the end, Jake is exuding blood from both sides of his mouth when Warner inserts the tube into his lung. When Danny apologizes, blood is only shown on his left side of his mouth and the flow of blood is not present on the right. No staining or evidence is there outside of the initial spurts when he coughed it up.

Dr. Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) assists Elliot on this case...

After a young girl was kidnapped on the way home from school and her blood is found in a van, Dr. Melinda Warner (Tamara Tunie) discovers that the girl has leukemia. Dr. Warner goes to discuss this with the parents and quickly becomes involved in the case since the kidnapper calls while Warner is at the parents' home. It's nice to watch Tamara Tunie in this episode as she works with Elliot Stabler to try to find the missing girl and then the kidnapper.

Special Victims Unit became my favorite television series many years ago for several reasons, but mainly because of the excellent writing and acting. I can usually not only guess what is going to happen in a movie (or TV show), but can even predict the actual dialogue. That gets old. With Special Victims Unit, you never know what's going to happen, which is great! As for the actors and actresses, this is a fabulous cast of both.
