When a man goes on a killing rampage through New York, the lead FBI agent (guest star Jason Gedrick) calls upon the SVU to get information from the suspect’s last known contact – a prostitute (guest star Patricia Arquette) who had been involved in one of Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) old cases.

Also starring Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Cragen), Danny Pino (Detective Nick Amaro) and Kelli Giddish (Detective Amanda Rollins.)

Detectives Benson and Amaro (Mariska Hargitay and Danny Pino) are called to the scene when an unconscious woman with signs of physical trauma is found in a river near the Mayor's home. With the victim in a coma, the squad races to identify and account for her prior whereabouts. They uncover a wild side to an otherwise normal wife and mother, and the investigation reaches an unsettling conclusion.

A man is found beaten to death after defiling a sacred Torah, and the Orthodox Jewish congregants are horrified. At first it appears to be a hate crime, and an Arab man who was harassing the Jews is the initial suspect. But when Fontana (Dennis Farina) and Green (Jesse L. Martin) are satisfied it isn’t him, they redirect their investigation toward the congregation. Barry Speicher (Zach Grenier), one of the leaders of the congregation, who is very close to the synagogue’s Rabbi (Allan Miller), had donated the Torah to the temple. His own father smuggled it out of Poland during the holocaust.

As the team works together to take down a foe, Jane and Weller face a toxic secret that threatens to tear them apart in the fall finale.
