Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) have the unsavory task of investigating the sensationalized murder and sexual assault of a young boy, and their prime suspect (guest star Stephen Bogardus) is a convicted child molester whose only obsession seems to be collecting stamps. However, even with mounting evidence, one key piece doesn't fit -- but either way, the state is still prepared to cite civil detention as a test case to imprison him again as a likely repeat offender. Richard Belzer, Dann Florek, Michelle Hurd and Dean Winters also star.

C.J. reluctantly returns home to Dayton, Ohio, to speak at her 20th high school class reunion.

Detectives Goren and Eames suspect that a vagabond father with child custody issues is using his teenage son to help him kill judges and their families.

Detectives Briscoe (Jerry Orbach) and Curtis (Benjamin Bratt) are off to a challenging start when they arrive at the latest crime scene to find both the victim and the perpetrator dead. With little evidence to go on, the trail of clues leads the detectives to a speechless 10-year-old witness, thus introducing them to the dangerous web of the Russian Mafia. When assistant District Attorneys McCoy (Sam Waterston) and Carmichael (Angie Harmon) begin to prosecute, the mafia-connected defendants 'miraculously' silence the witnesses and endanger the lives of the attorneys. S. Epatha Merkerson and Steven Hill also star.

Assistant DA's McCoy and Carmichael become entangled in the dangerous world of the Russian Mafia when witnesses are found dead and evidence is destroyed. In order to safely investigate, McCoy (Sam Waterston) puts the suspects behind bars without sufficient evidence, and risks violating their civil liberties. As the grim situation continues to unravel, McCoy and Carmichael (Angie Harmon) must prove the connection between the Russian defendants and a large-scale money laundering enterprise before they are released on technicalities. Benjamin Bratt, Jerry Orbach and S. Epatha Merkerson also star.
