Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Season 02
Running Time: 60 min.
Release By: NBC

The second-season opener of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit is the episode "Wrong Is Right," in which the efforts by SVU detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) to shelter his family from the sordid details of his work are shattered when his daughter Maureen (Erin Broderick) witnesses a horrific crime. Also in this episode, Michelle Hurd makes her final appearance as Detective Monique Jeffries, the partner of the deliciously cynical and paranoid Det. John Munch (Richard Belzer). Recurring character Det. Fin Tutuola (Ice-T) is elevated to regular status by becoming Munch's new partner. Two weeks later, in the episode "Honor," Stephanie March joins the cast as dedicated Assistant District Attorney Alexandra Cabot, as she and the SVU team investigate a sex murder that is somehow tied in with the Taliban (and this was still during the pre-9/11 era!). Of the remaining episodes, "Closure" is a true curiosity: the concluding half of a two-part story that began in the middle of season one, this episode focuses on a rape victim who relentlessly stalks her recently released attacker. The season ends with "Scourge," the riveting story of a man driven to serial murder by a freak medical condition. Law & Order: Special Victims Unit closed out its second year on NBC as America's 25th most popular program. Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
