In a continuation of the internal investigation into the psyches of the Special Victims Unit staff, the focus turns to two detectives -- one who wants to seduce and one who wants to destroy some of the shady characters they encounter on the job. Meanwhile, Detective Stabler's home and work lives blur horrifically when his daughter Maureen witnesses a gory crime scene as she accompanies her father in discovering the burning dead body of an analyst for a major defense contractor. While ambitious new Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot pursues the uncooperative employers of the victim, and his missing ward, with equal fervor, Detective Odafin "Fin" Tutuola transfers to the Special Victims Unit from Narcotics to join in the investigation.
