Quotes 

• Dr. George Huang : [to Tessa]  You know, some doctors might think that you have Munchausen's. You know what that is?

  Tessa McKellen : I'm not making myself sick. Who would ever wanna endure what I've had to go through?

  Dr. George Huang : Good question. You're beautiful, you're rich. You have a great career. I think that you crave attention so much that you made your husband into your servant.

  Tessa McKellen : My husband loves me.

  Dr. George Huang : Your husband had an affair.

  Tessa McKellen : Vicky seduced him.

  Dr. George Huang : That's why you hired Inman to kill her.

  Tessa McKellen : I haven't seen Inman since the Silverhammer trial.

  Dr. George Huang : He says that you gave him a list of bacterial cultures that you wanted him to steal.

  Tessa McKellen : He is a liar.

  Dr. George Huang : The list is in your handwriting.

  Tessa McKellen : He was in Special OPs. He has access to the best forgers in the world.

  Dr. George Huang : So you're saying that Inman's persecuting you?

  Tessa McKellen : He hates me. I lost the case and now he's taking it out on me and my husband. If I wasn't stuck in this chair, I would kill him myself.

• Dr. George Huang : [to Novak]  From everything that you're telling me, it seems to me that Tessa has a factitious disorder. Munchausen's syndrome.

  Casey Novak : She's making herself sick to get attention?

  Dr. George Huang : She was in a nearly fatal car accident and she does have diabetes. The syringe that Olivia and Elliot took from her contained insulin, but my guess is that she just became addicted to all the attention she gets being sick.

  Casey Novak : Well, it's one thing to play sick to get attention and another to inject yourself with streptococcus bacteria. I mean, she could have died.

• Casey Novak : I have a bulletproof case against Tessa, but I can't put her on trial so long as she's hanging out at some cushy private mental hospital.

  Dr. George Huang : At least she'll be in some locked ward where she won't hurt herself or anybody else.

  Detective Elliot Stabler : Yeah, but she belongs in prison with her hit man buddy Inman.

  Detective Olivia Benson : Is there any way to change Petrovsky's mind?

  Dr. George Huang : Show her that Tessa's a manipulative calculating bitch who planned this defense meticulously just like the murders.
