This is the kind of episode, where you really have to pay attention too or you'll miss little details here & there, that have significant meaning later. The acting is superb, as usual. A cop is attacked and sexually assaulted in this one. Which is pretty rare in SVU episodes, especially in the older ones. Business women, house wives, college & high school students, kids(which are the worst) but rarely cops...But Olivia is at odds. The victim (who happens to be Olivia's training officer and helped mold Olivia into the brilliant, bad*** we see today lol) changes her story all of sudden....and then recants her entire assault. (Which the audience is shown parts of, at the beginning of the show, so we know something went down). So Olivia can either play ball and drop it, and turn a blind eye to a friend/colleague (even at her request)....Or she can do what Olivia does, and what her training officer taught her to do, and that's use her skills and get to the truth despite all the "blue line" crap. And investigate...."Ya know" what cops are suppose to do lol. Every SVU fan already knows the answer to this. No "spoiler" disclaimer needed
