Continue searching the Collection One in this series of police dramas -- a spin-off of "Law & Order" -- about the sexual crimes investigated by the elite Special Victims Unit of the New York Police Department. In this program, which takes up the threads of an episode in the preceding season, Lori Thatcher is the latest victim of serial rapist Kenneth Cleary, who covers his victims' eyes so that they cannot identify him. After each attack, however, Cleary's wife Meredith receives a phone call informing her of her husband's actions. Meredith does not believe the caller and seeks help from the police in stopping what she sees as telephone harassment. Stabler and Benson track down the rapist's first victim, Harper Anderson, as the one stalking Cleary and making the phone calls. Clues to his guilt are found when similar rapes are committed in Philadelphia while Cleary is there on business. The real breakthroughs in the case occur when the victims identify him by the sound of his voice, and Meredith realizes that her husband has given her jewelry taken from his victims. Her hysteria while on the stand at Cleary's trial causes a mistrial, but she and Harper unite to take revenge into their own hands. Commercials deleted.
"Law & Order: SVU"' has never shied away from leaving stories open-ended. Just like life, crimes don't usually have perfect bows to wrap them up and put them away. Even still, in all of its 23 seasons, "Law & Order: SVU” has only had one story with a follow-up episode. Season 1, Episode 10, "Closure," is about rape victim Harper Anderson (Tracy Pollan), who can remember every detail of her rape, but the detectives come up short finding her assailant. When another woman is attacked six months later, they are finally able to find their suspect, Kenneth Cleary (Neil Maffin), but when Harper is unable to identify him with certainty in a lineup, he's let go. In Season 2, Episode 3, "Closure: Part 2," Harper is back and has been stalking Cleary, trying to catch him in the act. After another victim comes through with the same MO, Detective Stabler (Christopher Meloni) pleads with Cleary's wife, Meredith (Evy O'Rourke), to look at the jewelry pieces her husband had given her. She realizes the truth and finally agrees to help the detectives. In the end, Cleary ends up being shot and killed by his wife, who claims it was in self-defense.
While it doesn't seem likely that "SVU ” plans to revisit any other old cases, that hasn't stopped fans from chiming in on which they feel deserve another look. In a Reddit thread started by u/doctornowzaradan, many people enthusiastically proclaimed which other episodes deserve a follow-up. Discussing Season 6, Episode 8, "Doubt," u/Puzzleheaded-Fly2837 wrote, "I hate that we never found out the verdict to that trial." The episode saw graduate school student Myra Denning (Shannyn Sossamon) accuse her professor Ron Polikoff (Billy Campbell) of rape. The episode ends with the jury foreman reading, "We find the defendant..." In a unique twist, NBC did a poll on its website for viewers to determine the outcome of the trial (via Distractify). Another episode that many viewers would like a follow-up to is Season 12, Episode 1, "Locum." The episode is about a little girl, Mackenzie (Bailee Madison), who goes missing, and as the story unfolds, the detectives find out that Mackenzie's adoptive parents had a daughter who was kidnapped, and they keep Mackenzie under lock and key to make sure nothing happens to her. Eventually, the daughter, Ella (Amanda Dillard), is found, but the ending is ambiguous. Redditor u/FM1091 wrote, "What did the parents do with Mackenzie after Ella was found? Did they callously discard her? Did they let her be her own person? Or did Mackenzie snap and kill her whole adoptive family?" Because there wasn't a follow-up, no one will ever know.
The episode that most people would like revisited is Season 16, Episode 6, "Glasgowman's Wrath," which is loosely based on the real-life story of the Slender Man stabbing as well as "The Blair Witch Project." In the episode, friends Perry (Chloe Csengery) and Mia (Mina Sundwall) go to the woods with Mia's little sister Zoe (Oona Laurence) in search of a mythical creature named the Glasgowman. Perry and Mia start screaming and yelling that he's found them. The next morning, a bird-watcher finds Zoe, who has been stabbed. A homeless man is accused, but things don't add up. Perry is discovered to have self-inflicted wounds, which leads the detectives to suspect that she may have stabbed Zoe. By the end of the episode, Mia is claiming she was coerced and manipulated by Perry and not at fault, and Perry is suddenly acting as if she is in an alternate world and taking the blame for everything. Mia is remanded to her parents' care, and Perry is remanded to a psychiatric center. Justice seems to be served, until Detective Carisi (Peter Scanavino) sees the two girls pinky touch in the elevator. "This was such a good episode...the look on Carisi's face at the very end was priceless," u/Edlo9596 exclaimed. The author of the original post, u/doctornowzaradan, also chimed in: "I feel so robbed, they could easily pick it back up." Unfortunately for fans who want a sequel, it's been over seven years since that episode aired, so it seems unlikely to be revisited.
Harper Anderson : I don't expect anything from you. Detective Olivia Benson : We did everything that we could. You couldn't ID him, so we couldn't hold him. Harper Anderson : You could have followed him. You knew he would rape again. Detective Olivia Benson : I'd like to follow every guy that I know that has a propensity to rape. Harper Anderson : Poor police. So overworked! Detective Olivia Benson : Harper, you're not equipped to deal with this. Harper Anderson : I'm equipped. I don't approach him. I'm doing what any private investigator would do and I don't need a license to do it for myself. Detective Olivia Benson : You're harassing his wife. Harper Anderson : Give me a break! She's enabling a rapist. And you're too busy to deal with him, so I will.
Unnamed mother (deceased) HistoryIn 1999, an intruder broke into Harper's apartment through the fire escape, grabbed her, hit her, raped her, ejaculated on her belly and wiped it off with her T-shirt and forced her to shower afterwards. After he leaves, taking several items of hers, she smokes a cigarette and calls 911 to report the rape and she is taken to the hospital. She meets Detective Benson at the hospital and she tells her all the details of the rape. Anderson then goes through a rape exam with Benson by her side. Harper then gives a formal statement about the rape at the police station in for detectives Benson and Stabler and gives a description of the rapist. Benson takes Harper to her boyfriend, Benjy Dowe's apartment and explains several steps after being raped. After Harper takes a shower she leaves to go to work and a few minutes into her shift pass when Benson and Stabler arrive to ask her why she was smoking a joint. Harper angrily tells them it was to calm her down because she had a job interview and leaves to go back to work. When they bring in a suspect Harper travels to the precinct to make a positive identification. When she arrives Benson informs her that their suspect didn't rape her. Harper is disappointed as her rapist is still out there and Benson hands Harper's new keys to her. Six months passed and Harper couldn't eat or sleep knowing her rapist was still out there. As a result, she lost her job, lost her boyfriend and moved out of her apartment, effectively reinventing herself into a new version of herself. When her rapist strikes again and is identified as Kenneth Cleary, Detectives Benson and Stabler arrive at her new apartment six months after her rape to make a positive identification. She angrily tells them to leave and slams the door in their faces. When Benson comes back with Cassidy she tries to ignore them but eventually relents and she is informed that her rapist struck again. Harper tries to tell them to leave her alone but they eventually convince her to do the line-up after Benson tells she will be with her. When Harper is unable to identify the man who raped her she breaks down crying to Benson. (SVU "Closure (Part I)") When Kenneth became the suspect in another rape, Harper started harassing Kenneth's wife Meredith who didn't believe that Kenneth was a rapist and who stood by him, which angered Harper. Benson and Stabler visited Harper's apartment and told her to stop but Harper acted smug, showing no sympathy for Meredith. Harper soon took it another step, putting up flyers of Kenneth saying he was a rapist in Kenneth's street, which angered and distressed Meredith. Harper then smashed Kenneth's car windscreen before being escorted away by Benson and Stabler. After a trip to a shooting range with Benson, Harper found Meredith outside her apartment, who was writing Harper an apology letter. Meredith then told Harper she was sorry for defending Kenneth, to which Harper forgave her, saying she didn't know. Meredith and Harper soon formed a friendship, which resulted in them both supporting each other through Kenneth's trial. When a mistrial was declared, Meredith went to Kenneth's house to grab a few things but Kenneth got angry and started physically attacking Meredith. In defense, Meredith shot Kenneth to death. When Benson, Stabler, Cragen and Cabot arrived at the crime scene, they found Harper there supporting Meredith. They also discovered that Harper had used bleach to try clean up the crime scene, which immediately got rid of any DNA. Harper denied knowing this though. When the detectives asked who shot Kenneth, Meredith said she did. However, Harper had an extremely smug and satisfied look on her face, hinting that Harper was the one who shot Kenneth.
