Quotes:

Suspect: [Det. Stabler is roughing up a suspect with one broken arm in the interview room] Why do you got to be so rough?
Det. Elliot Stabler: Because you still have one arm to break.
Olivia Benson: Yeah, my partner has a real anger management problem. I thought he had it under control. Apparently, I was wrong.
Det. Elliot Stabler: [looks up to Benson who had just returned as his partner after his few weeks partnered up with Danni Beck] I've had a tough couple of weeks.
Olivia Benson: [to the suspect] Seriously. He WILL break your arm.

A transition into a return to the ordinary - Fantastic Shows

*** This review may contain spoilers ***

Kicking off with a couple of sexually frustrated teens in the city's Central Park, Law & Order: SVU gives us a rare whodunit clean murder instead of the usual rape victim or worse. But what can we expect from only Detective Stabler representing SVU.

After trading grunts with a couple of nuts for information there seems to be a real case brewing with lots of back stories. Olivia is finely settled in since her return from maternal leave fighting eco-terrorists for the FBI and I'm sure things will resume to its normal special-crimes solving pace once ex-partners names don't happen to be the same as the victims.

It still was a gripping episode though. Lots of technology reference tonight which hypothesized the threat of humans living with computer chips inside them in the not to distance future. That'll save me a lot of typing! However I must comment that I really miss episodes that leave out Fin or Huang. But we did need to make room for the stellar performance by Bob Saget! I have to say that although I am used to his semi-serious roles in the past, my view of him has changed since seeing him direct Dirty Work and the short cameo he had in Half Baked. Plus he is a great dirty comedian. This was a nice change.

Not a bad transition as I'm sure we will be facing even greater evil then the jealous 'computer nerds'.
