Trivia

The events of this episode, and the decision Elliot and Olivia make at the end, were written to let Mariska Hargitay out of the show for a period of time while she was on maternity leave. See more »

Goofs

While the cops are watching the videotaped therapy session featuring killer Victor Paul Gitano (Lou Diamond Phillips), the image of his face zooms from a mid-shot to a close-up while he is talking. A genuine videotape of a therapy session would show the subject from the same angle and apparent distance from the camera throughout. A mid-session zoom would require a third person present to work the camera, and a therapist would not want another person in the room because that would compromise doctor-patient confidentiality.

Outstanding episode
10 April 2007 | by (United States) – See all my reviews

Mariska Hargitay and Christopher Meloni did a remarkable job. This episode was my favorite episode of the season. I was impressed how Benson and Stabler carried the hostage situation. Though I was a bit upset on how Dick Wolf ended the episode with Olivia asking Cragen for a new partner. I understand that Olivia and Elliot need a brake from each other…..they have been partners since the show began seven seasons ago. Elliot and Olivia both are putting each other ahead of the job….to some extend that is a good thing, but at this point they are putting the other too much ahead of the job, and that is when judgments are going to be question.
