Very weak episode. Especially after following the previous episode that was well written and acted. The forensic assistant trying to be a detective and allowed to be Stabler's partner is implausible. And the actress' acting (if you can even call it that) was so horrible it was embarrassing to watch her try take centre stage in such a high calibre show. It seems like they were trying to find different women for Stabler's character to "vibe" with. They were probably at one point looking for a romantic partner for his character since his wife left him. You could tell that was their motive as well in his scenes with Dr Hendricks in other episodes. Skip this episode if you can. Is you want to be annoyed with bad acting then proceed at your own risk
