Trivia
There are many similarities with the crime in this episode with the real life events of the Ariel Castro case; which is even noted by ADA Rafael early in the episode. One of the most striking similarities, other than the crime itself, is the interview Detective Amaro has with the suspect's neighbour in the episode compared to the real life news interview with Charles Ramsey, who is often credited as the neighbour who helped free the victims of Ariel Castro.

Goofs
One of the prisoners was kidnapped in the Poconos. When visiting the parents of the girl, the usual much more specific Law & Order title card flashes giving the location only as "Poconos". The Poconos refer to a region of Pennsylvania, but there is no town by that name.

Quotes

Olivia Benson: Are you? I got a seven-year-old in the car who's spent his entire life in a basement and God knows what else went on down there. We have no idea where this Pa is or... or... or who he is. And now the feeding frenzy begins?
[walks away]
Rafael Barba: Welcome back.
