Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaNatalie Cole's final role.
- GoofsThe procedure for using undercover informants to catch stores selling alcohol and tobacco to minors is shown completely wrong in this episode. The state liquor board inspector doesn't run in and bust the store right after their undercover makes a purchase, that gives away the identity of the undercover informant and potentially puts them at risk. Before the store owner is fined or otherwise penalized the audio/video recording from the informant is transcribed and then the inspector returns to the store at a later time to inform them that they sold liquor or tobacco without checking ID or knowingly sold to a minor, and informs them of which type of punitive action is being taken.

Det. Elliot Stabler: Cause you started drinking again?
Featured review
An episode that covers a variety of topics
If one is looking for an SVU installment that throws in everything including the kitchen sink, "Fat" is just one of those. The show addresses self-esteem issues, harassment, sodomy, irresponsibility on the part of companies that aim at children, parental neglect as a result of long working hours, funding cuts in schools, marital strife, and even allows Detective Stabler (Chris Meloni) a chance to bear his soul at Confessional.
The show also featured guest Anthony Anderson as a one-time partner for Stabler while regular Mariska Hargitay was undergoing recuperation from surgery. The clashes between Anderson's character and the hot-tempered Stabler allow both actors to stretch their acting, as well as physical, muscles.
Perhaps, Anderson's performance here led to him being hired for SVU's parent show "Law & Order" two seasons later.
