This Thursday’s “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” wades into murky waters with “Undertow,” an episode that explores a particularly divisive case. Expect sex, drugs, and plenty of courtroom drama as the Special Victims Unit finds itself split over the details of a complicated investigation.
ADA Dominick Carisi finds himself facing an uphill battle, tasked with convincing a jury to look beyond the accusations and focus on the facts of the case. The defendant, however, has their own story to tell, one that threatens to muddy the waters and turn the courtroom into a battleground of conflicting narratives.
“Undertow” seems ripe with the kind of ethical dilemmas and thorny legal questions that “SVU” handles so well. With the squad divided and Carisi facing immense pressure, the pursuit of justice becomes a tightrope walk. Will he manage to keep the jury – and himself – focused on the law, or will the undercurrents of the case pull everyone under?
