A senile elderly lady is found wondering inside in a home that she was familiar with as a child. Detectives realize that she has been suffering abuse, when cigarette burns are discovered all over her frail body. Following the trail from her greedy, neglectful son, to the expensive nursing home he pulled her out of, they discover the man they believe was abusing her. During the course of their investigation, however, Benson and Stabler stumble across an even more sinister criminal committing even more heinous, previously undetected crimes against the elderly.

Jane Powell Shines
12 March 2007 | by (Florida) – See all my reviews

Wow was I surprised about this episode.

Jane Powell is great as the poor women who has been abused but has problems remembering the torture. One of the best roles Jane has ever done.Confused and bewildered, and very touching. I have seen many of Jane's early roles. She was trapped in the lighter roles in her youth.

Not given a chance to tackled the heavy stuff. But she is after all an actress. No one could have been any better than Jane. A disturbing story lineand role.

About a family of abuse.

A rare dramatic turn. She is great!!!! Who knew?...
