Three people are shot outside a video store, including the ski mask-wearing robber. The shooter, Joey Lee Field (Christopher Denham), is initially lauded as a hero. There are two other victims, a young man who was entering the store and Rebecca Kurtz, a six year old who was in the store with her sister Missy (Ari Graynor). Rebecca is on life support, but the case becomes much more complicated when they discover she has gonorrhea. Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) question her parents and her father Peter (Dan Lauria) is the initial suspect, but he is cleared. Next, the detectives discover Missy, who was adopted after years of abuse and foster care, also has the disease.

A woman signs for a package from RME Delivery, it's empty, and the deliveryman is shot on her doorstep. Detectives Briscoe and Green have a tough time figuring out who sent the empty package, because no ID was required. The victim is John Byrne, so they talk to his widow Adele, who is grief-stricken. She said he was working a lot of overtime, but when they go to John's workplace, he did not work any overtime at all. In fact, he called in sick quite often. The Detectives talk to John's best friend at work and he hints that John had some extracurricular activities on the side. The first lady they talk to says she broke it off because he was cheating on her with other women. They obtain motel footage of John and one of his "dates" in an argument outside of one of the motel rooms.
