Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) are called to a chaotic situation at a high school. Two star basketball players are found in the gym, stripped and shot to death, and what appears to be a third victim, Joe Blaine (Rory Culkin), is shot in the head. Joe recovers, and the detectives feverishly look for the shooter. Joe draws pictures and appears to be very agitated and mentally unstable. He draws a photo that matches the school janitor (who had access to the murder weapon) but he is too aged and not agile enough to have escaped through the window, the only way for the gunman to have left the gym. But Joe's mental state is a big factor and they realize from prints he is the gunman.

Lynda Carter, Estella Warren, Julian Sands and Mark McGrath guest star. A distraught and pregnant April Troost, (guest star Estella Warren) is found on a ledge threatening to commit suicide. After being talked down, she confides in Benson (Mariska Hargitay) that she has been raped, and her unborn child is a product of that crime. Troost accuses Barclay Palmer (guest star Julian Sands), a handsome, wealthy and successful business man, of the crime. Although Palmer denies involvement, DNA tests prove he is the father. The case goes to trial, but when it becomes evident that Troost is willing to settle for money, her credibility diminishes and Benson and Stabler (Chris Meloni) become suspicious of her story. Diane Neal, Dann Florek, Ice-T, and Richard Belzer also star.

A male in his 20's is found murdered, in a pile of sheets. It's tough to get the identification of the victim. All Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) have is an address in the West Village, traces of plaster on the body, as well as nylon in the sheets which is most likely the result of a faulty clothes dryer. The detectives show the victim's photo around gay bars in the Village, based on sexual evidence that he was with another man, and he's recognized because he was seen on posters for ReGenesis, a special interest group that tries to convert people from being gay to being straight. The victim is James Reed, and the people at ReGenesis are very saddened by his death. He was a member of the group but quit. Meanwhile, James had been getting horrible hate mail from Nebraska and at his funeral there is a protest led by Reverend Shaw (James Otis), who is based in Nebraska and thinks homosexuality is a sin.

Teenage boy Eric Byers (guest star Marshall Allman) admits himself into the squad room, and warns the team about an unnatural desire towards his younger stepbrother, Cory Kelly (guest star Aaron Mayer). Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Olivia Benson's (Mariska Hargitay) suspicions arise, and Eric admits to also looking at a website to try to curb his pedophilic urge. With no crime committed, the detectives decide to investigate this "self-help" website for pedophiles leading them to its creator, Jake Berlin (guest star Tom Noonan). Eric's rage induced stepfather (guest star Josh Charles) is also questioned, and shortly after Eric is found missing. The detectives must race to place the clues together to find and stop Eric before any crime is committed. Also starring: Richard Belzer (Detective John Munch), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Cragen), Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Michaela McManus (A.D.A Kim Greylek), Tamara Tunie (Dr. Melinda Warner), and B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang).

The body of young man is found in a tank at a wastewater treatment plant. M.E. Warner (Tamara Tunie) is able to identify a tattoo that says TE and it's the symbol for the fraternity Tau Epsilon. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Chris Meloni) discover the deceased is Tyler Henry, treasurer of the Panhellenic Council. Tyler was a big man on campus and his father Xander (Gary Cole) is a very successful attorney. Tyler is living quite well supposedly off his web design activities, but in actuality he was making money selling advertising for a porn website. Initially, the Detectives suspect co-ed Chloe Spiers (Serena Williams), who had previously sued Tyler after she stripped for a wet t-shirt contest Tyler sponsored and had her pictures splashed all over the Internet. But she has an alibi. She was playing basketball out of state.
