Law & Order SVU Season 23, Episode 6 was nostalgic as we were treated to scenes of the old cast members that put the Special Victims Unit on the map back in 1999. An old case bought Detective Amaro back to the unit and an old flame back into Oliva’s life. Fortunately, new DNA technology freed the falsely imprisoned man and Olivia made amends with her past. On Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 23, Episode 7, it’s back to business as usual and the crew has one of the most horrific cases they’ve had in a while. Daria Cruz walks into SVU hysterically after receiving a voicemail from her sister. In the voicemail, her sister is crying and screaming that she was raped, choked and that someone is trying to kill her. You can also hear the madmen saying that she scream all she wants but nobody cares.

Vampires
