Ice-T takes the lead in this SVU episode where he works on a case involving a young and decomposing victim found thrown out in the city garbage dump, brought in with God knows what load from where in New York. Until the young girl is given an identity she's referred to as Cherish Doe.
Gloria Reuben turns up reporting her missing daughter and the body is so badly decomposed that an identification is near impossible. For some reason Richard Belzer doesn't want to work this case as he considers a solution near impossible, so Ice-T works it with Mariska Hargitay.
The perpetrator is a frightening man child played by David Harbour who has a doll fixation, not action figures, but dolls. He's also got it in his mind he's somehow rescuing the victim's from some fate worse than what he has in store for them in his own little world.
In fact it turns out there are two victims, one story has a happy ending, one doesn't. This episode belongs to Ice-T, Gloria Reuben, and the junkie mother of the second victim played by Susan Misner.
