The episode overall forgets many of its own plot points and presents cruel unforgiving characters. For instance, Eric, the 17 year old pedophile who goes for help with how to stop himself from hurting his step bother. The detectives decide to make his life worse by going to his parents and talking about his urges as if he has already acted upon them. The writing is obviously biased towards pedophiles even those who are repenting pedophiles.
The detectives show little or no remorse for him and wind up escalating the situation to the point at which Eric unfortunately dies at the hands of his abusive stepfather. His stepfather admits to having sodomized the boy using his own son's baseball bat. Eric is finished off by the one man he trusted. All of this happens when there is no liable proof that any children were hurt. There are no feelings of conclusion, no feelings for settlement, simply tragedy. Eric, a pedophile who could have received help rather than suspicion, dies afraid, alone, and abandoned by those whom he trusted.
