I cried at the end of this episode :( At least Mariska was flawless, as usual. She wasn't playing any games in this episode.
And OMG at them killing the Jay Z type character. Poor fake Beyonce :(
Law and Order: SVU not giving a damn (SPOILERS)

Chris Brown & Rihanna will never be able to escape the night he viciously beat her on the night of the 2009 Grammys. Four years later, that incident was the basis for this week’s ‘Law & Order: SVU’ — but did NBC do the story justice?
Chris Brown must always live with his violent past against Rihanna, which is now forever documented on the Feb. 27 episode of Law & Order: SVU. But rather than a straight re-telling of Chris and Rihanna’s story, the writers took things a little further, predicting what could happen if a “promising singer” were to stay with her “popular hip-hop star” boyfriend and remain silent when he acted out.

The situation depicted was in no way shape or form funny, but the execution was sooooo bad.
Had they included the ending along with actual perceived love, it would have been good. Instead, you have people going "that's not my man. He's nothing like that. He only hit me once. He loves me. He doesn't snap like that"
Terrible episode. Hilariously bad attempt that executing a story about a very serious issue across the globe.
I thought it was weird that Chris Brown and Rihanna were mentioned by name. If those two actually exist in the SVU universe, are Caleb and Misha in-universe poor man's versions of them?

jay z better have hired a god damn shadow bodyguard that rih doesn't know about like sookie's guardian angel. cuz just reading this made me realize how sad it's gonna be if this happens to rih.
"they should go on a double date with chris brown and rihanna"
i can't
I was crying more at the message than the episode because the acting was terrible.
Oh and the chemistry between DA Barba and Benson - <3
SVU has always been pretty cheesy but the new episodes are even worse. But they're worth watching for the new ADA. He's douchey but entertaining.
