Law & Order: SVU S15E09: Psycho Therapist

Was the guy on the elevator real, or was she imagining it? Imagination, right?

Jolly Abraham?

Yeah, elevator guy wasn't real because real guy has a huge scar.

I don't think Barba could LET Lewis lie on the stand for a plea, could he?

He wants to represent himself? Kinda cliched.

His scar looks like Mike Tyson's face tattoo

Why do they keep showing this red haired juror?

They're speeding through this trial, which means there's going to be some other twist. Yay!

When rape victims testify at trial, they must relive the ordeal. The show gives us literal flashbacks by replaying scenes from that episode.

Thus the flashbacks serve two purposes - a storytelling device to remind the viewer what happened, and to rekindle the viewer's heightened sense of drama from that episode, giving this courtroom-based episode more urgency.

Has Benson ever fibbed on the stand before?

Why is he yelling? There is no need to yell.

Why isn't anyone stopping him?

But they don't pick a foreperson until all testimony is complete. At least in Massachusetts...

Isn't Lewis the one on trial here? He's not trying to prove that Benson beat him, he's trying to prove that he didn't kidnap her.

He still needs to be tried for the rape of that other lady and murder of her husband, right?

"It's over"? I doubt it.

Oh shit. Is he going to die? Is Benson going to be charged with murder?

Or is he just trying to escape?
