When a series of increasingly violent rapes occurs in an African-American community, Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) are quick to suspect a known sex-offender recently released from prison. But as their leads grow cold, the case becomes personal for Detective Tutuola (Ice-T) when the daughter of friends he grew up with becomes a fatal victim, and her distraught brother Rodney Thompson (guest star Todd Williams) accuses the squad of putting insufficient resources into tracking the killer.

Jenna takes Liz out to distract her from her breakup and prove love still exists, while Jack, a newly sleep-deprived father, loses his negotiating edge when discussing his nanny’s salary. Pete (Scott Adsit) and Frank (Judah Friedlander) start a rock band.

Annie Potts, Fred Thompson and Judith Light guest-star--When Lauren Westley (guest-star Keri Lynn Pratt) is found badly beaten and taken to a New York hospital, it is discovered she's a runaway from Virginia whose father Philip Westley (guest-star Skipp Sudduth) has been in the city searching for her. Detectives discover that Westley was 24 weeks pregnant and due to her injuries, suffered a miscarriage. As the investigation unfolds Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Chris Meloni) question Wayne Meredith (guest-star John Patrick Medori) a teenager from Westley's high school who is the father of the baby. Westley and Meredith ran away to New York seeking the help from an abortion clinic. When the case goes to court, Meredith's attorney, Sophie Devere, (guest-star Annie Potts) tries to defend Meredith's actions but new evidence is introduced questioning the credibility of the abortion clinic and whether the doctor there was ultimately responsible for West's injuries. Fred Thompson, Judith Light, Diane Neal, Richard Belzer, Dann Florek, B.D. Wong and Tamara Tunie also star.

Liz (Tina Fey) realizes that she needs to take control of her personal life by fixing up her dream apartment, but she encounters an obstacle along the way. Meanwhile, Jack (Alec Baldwin) has his own problems to deal with when Avery (guest star Elizabeth Banks) is held hostage. Elsewhere, Tracy (Tracy Morgan) finds out that Kenneth (Jack McBrayer), Dotcom (Kevin Brown) and Grizz (Grizz Chapman) have bonded in his absence.

Police responding to a shooting find a dead teenager, who's filthy and appears to be homeless. She's also been shot and Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) are concerned that one of the cops shot her by mistake. Even though the bullet hit the teen, she was already dead. She is identified as Samantha Tassler, a black teenager from a well-to-do family outside of Philadelphia who disappeared almost a year ago. She is wearing an unusual necklace, of the infinity sign, and they trace the custom piece of jewelry to Dr. Garrett Lang (Gale Harold), who had multiple copies made. Dr. Lang is quite charming, and he runs a clinic that specializes in hormone replacement and perpetuating youth. Suspicious of Dr. Lang they sift through piles of his records, and in the process Detective Munch (Richard Belzer) discovers he owns an office building and three brownstones. It seems Dr. Lang applied for tax-exempt status for one of them, and they find out he claimed it as a charitable organization. The Detectives decide to check out the "Foundation for Knowledge Expansion".
