    Storyline

    • Trivia
      This episode marks the final time in which the entire Stabler family appear together in the same episode. The four children would appear together in the episode Pretend (2007), but without Kathy Stabler (Isabel Gillies) present.
    • Goofs
      Stabler walks into the squad room and asks Benson, "Did you run him through the system?" Benson replies, " Yeah, there's no priors under the name Judson Tierney but without fingerprints it could be an alias". Stabler, "How about background?" Benson, " yeah he owns a house in Rigo Park free and clear, he opened a locksmiths shop in 1971, he's worked there everyday since he got sick a year ago". Surely she means until he got sick a year ago.

      Fin Tutuola: [to Elliot Stabler] 48 hours you solved twenty-one bank jobs, a murder, and a kidnap. What, you trying to make us look bad?

    I agree
    Judith Light makes L & O SVU! A great show, but light's Judge Donnelly is a delight to watch. making her a regular would be a smart movie for Dick Wolfe and Co.

    This episode had it all. Mystery (is the old guy on the up and up? why did he lie all those years?), humor, great Bensen/Stabler interactions, and ofcoures the short but PERFECT scene with Casey and Liz. Just when you think all is lost, Judge Donnelly points Caesy to an unexpected avenue.

    The mothership is still my favorite L &O, but SVU runs a close second with episodes like this one.

    Now, if they would just get Jack & Liz together... or maybe they were together long long ago?? Would love to see that angle explored by NBC.
