Law & Order: SVU S21 E20 Recap & After Show: Gene or Gina?
As the case against Sir Tobi is set to begin in the SVU season finale for season 21, The Things We Have To Lose, a few previous victims from the season resurface, such as Joelle whose husband Leon is getting released from jail after doing 6 months for beating her. Fin allows himself to get too involved which results in him giving Joelle’s son Andre a phone to call him in case Leon comes over. Of course, Leon does and Fin makes a decision resulting in Leon’s death. Kat is also dealing with a previous victim when Lakira calls because she believes that Davies has attacked another trans prostitute on the piers. Meanwhile, Ivy Bucci is acting out. Her mother seeks help from the squad and Rollins takes it upon herself to find the girl and get her on the right back. As if they weren’t busy enough, Carisi and Benson are prepping victims for the big trial against Sir Tobias Moore, whose medical situation pushes back the trial.

In SVU 21x19 "Solving for the Unkowns", Jill Bailey is arrested for driving her cupcake truck into a parked patrol car. At arraignment she realizes that she’d been assaulted. Luckily, Fin and Carisi are there to take her statement.

Fin and Kat discover where Luke lives and pay him a visit. He admits to sleeping with Jill but says it was consensual. Benson says that this Drug Facilitated Rape was well planned and suggests this wasn’t his first time. Rollins finds a similar case in Brooklyn with a second victim. She identifies Luke as her rapist and Benson makes a public statement leading to more victims to step forward. One of the victims, Piper, had a bad reaction to the drugs and had a stroke. When SVU threatens Luke with harsher charges he turns on his accomplice, Ash, the bartender who makes “artisanal, tailored” cocktails allowing Luke to rape these women. SVU takes them down.

ABOUT LAW AND ORDER SVU:
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (often abbreviated to Law & Order: SVU or just SVU) is an American police procedural, legal, crime drama television series set in New York City, where it is also primarily produced. In the style of the original Law & Order, episodes are often "ripped from the headlines" or loosely based on real crimes that have received media attention. Created and produced by Dick Wolf, the series premiered on NBC on September 20, 1999, as the first spin-off of Wolf's successful crime drama, Law & Order. The show started its 17th season on September 23, 2015, and has aired 385 original episodes as of March 30, 2016. It is the current longest running scripted non-animated U.S. primetime TV series since the cancellation of the original Law & Order in 2010 and is the fifth-longest running scripted U.S. primetime TV series on a major broadcast network.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit originally centered almost exclusively on the detectives of the Special Victims Unit in a fictional version of the 16th Precinct of the New York City Police Department. As the series progressed, additional supporting characters were added as allies of the detectives in the New York County Manhattan District Attorney's office (known as advisers from the Sex Crimes Bureau) and the Medical Examiner's office. Typical episodes follow the detectives and their colleagues as they investigate and prosecute sexually based offenses. The show starred Christopher Melonias Detective Elliot Stabler and Mariska Hargitay as Detective Olivia Benson for its first twelve seasons until the former left the cast, unable to come to an agreement on his contract.
Law & Order: Special Victims Unit has been nominated for and won numerous awards, including the 2006 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for Mariska Hargitay, the first Emmy to be received by a regular on any Law & Order series.
On February 1, 2016, the series was renewed for an eighteenth season. As of this date, it is the sole remaining series of the Law & Order franchise still in production (and has been since 2011), and the second-longest running after the original series, which was canceled by NBC at the end of its 20th season.
