Plot Edit

Detective Olivia Benson investigates a possible rape, however the case is made extremely difficult due to the victims refusal to submit to a rape kit or cooperate with the detective in any form. During the course of the investigation Benson encounters Agent Dana Lewis and discovers the victim might have been targeted due to her status as an FBI informant and connections with the Earth Defenders Group.

• Elliot: You are a jinx.
  Star / Dana: Who? Me?

  Star / Dana: You are still 'above' ground, hon, maybe I'm your good luck charm.
• Olivia: Elliot told me to tell you you are nuts.
  Star / Dana: That's just a concussion talk. Star grins
• Star / Dana: Hey Liv, what caliber gun do you use in the NYPD?
  Olivia: 38.

  Olivia: That gun there, that's a 9 mil.
  Star / Dana: Aah, mine's 10. And you know what they say. Size does matter.
