Of the three remaining airing shows in the "Law & Order" franchise, "SVU" is known for having guest stars that rarely do television: Ellen Burstyn, Ann-Margret, Margot Kidder, and Robin Williams, just to name a few. "Torch" added Sharon Stone to that list of luminaries as she started her first of four episodes as ADA Jo Marlowe, once the partner of Det. Stabler (Chris Meloni). Stone brings her trademark sexiness to the role, even suggesting that her character might've considered more than just a working relationship with Stabler. Her addition to the cast is inspired and hints at a little tension brewing between her and Benson (Mariska Hargitay) in regards to Stabler.
Kevin Anderson is extremely good as the father of two young victims killed in a house fire and the primary suspect in their murder. It's also refreshing to see veteran character actor Brad Dourif as an expert on fire who aids Stone in her efforts to find out what really happened in the fire.
Oscar nominee Lindsey Crouse returns again as Judge Andrews and "L & O's" Sam Waterston stops by reprimand Stone's Marlowe.
The resolution for this story is truly a surprisingly fresh one.
