Season 8, Episode 21
8/10

Guest star Isabel Gillies who later had a semi-regular role as Christopher Meloni's wife in Special Victims is a perpetrator. A raging hate filled perpetrator who in a moment in a drug filled rage killed a female undercover cop.

This girl is some piece of work and Briscoe and Curtis have their hands full arresting her. We also see something of her background that made her what she is now.

But she breaks down in court and the jury finds her guilty. Killing a cop she knew was a cop guarantees her the lethal injections.

A strange thing happens though. Gillies has a religious conversion and from the punk rock look and attitude she now is a born again Christian and looks like a coed from Liberty University. Is it real or a ploy?

Politics enters this one with Adam Schiff being challenged by a candidate put up by old friend and now enemy Robert Vaughn. The candidate is Judge Cliff Gorman who Sam Waterston crossed swords with before.

But Gillies really shines in this episode. This might be her career role.
