    Storyline

    • Trivia
      400th episode of the series.
    • Goofs
      It is implied throughout this episode that Luke had done something wrong, including the offer of immunity. Luke believed his mother was being raped by an intruder. No such immunity would be needed, as deadly force would be justified in this situation, even in New York. There is nothing that Luke did that required immunity.
    • Quotes
      • Olivia Benson: Dr. Keller, the night of the shooting, you were upstairs here in your bedroom, in your nightgown. Trey was downstairs in the family room and nobody else was in the house?
      • Dr. Nicole Keller: That's correct.
      • Amanda Rollins: And he didn't try and sneak up here into your room?
      • Dr. Nicole Keller: I'm sorry, lieutenant. I... I think it's best if you and your colleague here leave. I'm sensing some underlying hostility and it's making me very uncomfortable.
      • Olivia Benson: Yeah? And the naked selfies of you and Trey are making me very uncomfortable.
