Quintessentially frustrating

Warning: Spoilers
This was one of those episodes which had me punching the wall due to the anger the characters (Amanda in this case) generated in me. Amanda's sister Kim was introduced some episodes ago and she reeked of trouble. And she proved that in this episodes when she entrapped her sister in an IA investigation which led to her eventual arrest. But do I blame her for the arrest? No. Because Rollin dug her own grave due to her reluctance to have her sister learn a hard lesson, her lack of reliance on her squad mates and very bad decision making. I certifiably screamed when she went to the IAB without a lawyer and then met her sister ignoring her lawyer's warning. At the end I would've been glad if Rollin had rotted in jail for life for her own short sightedness.

Besides the frustration. It was written well. Kim was written well as a manipulative wench, and she'll be back in future seasons. After the mess of an episode the last one was, this one actually generated interest, and was compelling. Lt. Tucker (played by Burke) after 10 episodes throughout the series, and to say the least he is still unpopular as he was back then with the SVU detectives. Anyway, good episode, but will make you mad if you are repulsed by stupidity because there's a whole lot of that in this one.
