The body of a seven-year-old child reported missing in 1980 is found and the squad begins to investigate convicted serial killer Lucas Biggs (John Savage) who is on death row in Virginia. While Biggs can detail every child he ever molested, he swears he has no memory of this one. The squad learns that the boy was killed by one of Biggs' former victims (Terry Serpico) who, unbeknownst to his wife (Angelica Torn), lives a secret life as a child molester passing on the abusive habits he learned. Someone kills the suspect before he can be picked up. When a man (Michael Shannon) confesses to picking off a rapist, the detectives need to decide whether he committed the crime or whether he confessed out of trauma and shame.

The cycle of abuse can hurt so many people. It's insane.

[@vincentfichtler7758]

And sometimes it can go on forever or until someone break it and sometimes it restart again.

[@LivingCrusader]

​@@vincentfichtler7758it only takes one generation to break the cycle.

[@skyofthelivingdead]

But it can be broken, Avery was the perfect example of that.

[@patrickjackson1253]

Facts 😢

[@oliverhood1732]

I don’t know if same can be said for Deacon’s son, or many other boys he touched.

[@Rose-xy5pe]

Decan and Avery are foils to each other. Both were molested and both have sons, but while Decan allowed his pain to consume him and turn him into a monster that preyed on other boys including his own son, Avery fought against his pain and seeked justice, while also putting his son first by being willing to give him up so there would be no chance he could hurt him.

[@cristinademartini1284]

And while Deacon gets killed by his own wife in order to protect their son from him, Avery in the end gets to reunite with his girlfriend and their child and to experience the love and affection he had turned himself away from fearing to hurt the baby. Gosh, this is my favorite episode in SVU.

[@GailVelasco]

There is a choice. Hope that the obesessive thoughts could be addressed as well.

[@Timeward76]

It really is beautiful. Deacon let the pain consume him and wanted payback at the world for what he had to endure, while Avery wanted more than anything to stop others from going through the same.

[@jian5568]

It depends how the person reacts of the effect. Person get consumed by it or choose to sustain and straight themselves up.

[@qtj5047]

[@lukesportofolio]

i think intrusive thoughts about p*dophilia by victims of it needs to be talked about more. so many people struggle with the same thing avery did, thinking they'd be the same as their abuser. im glad it was brought up in this episode

[@catelynstark9883]

So do OCD sufferers

[@KeiraMarieASMR]

Sometimes it’s the opposite. I’m a victim and at the age of 13 I was dating people 28-43 years old. It really does need to be talked about because it can lead to so many problems like this one

[@Jack_Ss]

It’s a huge cycle. Abusers abuse kids who become abusers who abuse kids. Just broken and turn into freaks. It’s tragic. But because it doesn’t happen in every case they’re absolutely still at fault. People can overcome it. Others choose not to

[@KeiraMarieASMR]

@@Jack_Ss it’s not about choosing. I grew up in abuse. For years I was an abuser myself. Nobody ever got me help. I was still being abused at the time I started abusing my family. I didn’t know any better. All I knew was “this is how you’re supposed to treat people” it’s not about choosing

[@shawnmcdoge2215]

​@@KeiraMarieASMRcool story....guess bragging about SA is the new attention seeking trend

[@joeminier1736]

The differences between Avery and Deacon is Deacon spread his pain to others including his son while Avery assured he wouldn’t allow his son to endure the same trauma. Deacon in the end choose to become like his abuser while Avery choose to be different for his family.

[@SkyMightFall09]

Being a victim myself this thought kind of hit me before my first was born. I never had told anyone about what happened to me cause “as a man, you stay silent” and I hid it for 17 years and when my first was born and I held him for the first time…one of the assaults flashed back into my head and felt so real and vivid. I could see the room, smell the room…I broke down so hard and begged god to not let it happen to my baby. Then the mother of my kids asked what’s wrong after the drugs wore off, I broke down again and she was the first person I got to share my trauma with. I live to make sure nothing ever happens like this to my kids nor anyone else’s. I would report or handle it myself in a heartbeat.

[@idamay4590]

[@themermaidstale5008]

Scary in Boardwalk Empire, but all of them were scary.

[@Woodland_Adventures]

It's interesting how on tv shows, victims of SA - especially those who were young (>10) when it happens, often use words like "Touched me" "showed (they) loved me" "hurt me" "forced me" etc etc. They don't often use words like "assault" "Abuse" or other more "adult" words. It's theorized that your memory is tied to words. If you imagine an object, from when you young, most folks can only describe that object with words they knew at the time. It's just a little detail I like.

[@pixiestxNyomouf]

And the fact that he could stan there and repeat what he did in real words at the trial 😢

[@horror.loverr22]

Makes me so sad sexual abusers tell their younger victims it’s a form of love. Poor kids

[@NdxtremePro]

You can only describe with words. That doesn't make sense. Some people think in pictures, some in words and some in a mixture. We communicate with words, however, so of course they describe with the words they know at the time. These words are not adult words, society just don't use them enough in front of kids. Fairy Tales used to be much darker, and would give warnings about these types of things, but the Disneyfication of Fairy Tales has ruined that.

[@cristinademartini1284]

Avery reuniting with Kimber and their child is one of the most wholesome scenes i've ever seen in this show, if not in any other series I've ever watched.

[@starlingswallow]

[@themermaidstale5008]

It is, but it is what a person like that would do with his souvenirs.

[@Timeward76]

Deacon was so hurt by what happened he just wanted to feel like other people could feel his pain... Avery was so utterly terrified of the idea that he could make someone feel that pain that he was willing to never meet his son to avoid that possibility. It really is hothey deal with the pain.

[@BlackKusanagi]

That's crazy that years later he's the chief of police haha

I wonder if law an order worked as like an actors showcase So many mega famous stars made a start on law an order usually as disgruntled family member

[@NdxtremePro]

If you pay attention, all TV shows do this. You will see a regular set of the same actors making the circuit over a few years while they polish their acting chops and while waiting for their own vehicle to be the star.

[@redmustangredmustang]

Monsters aren't born they are made by other monsters. The way to stop the cycle of abuse is not become a monster. Not let the hate, anger, and frustrations consume you into becoming a monster. Avery and Deacon had a chance to deal with their negative emotions and the trauma they endured. Deacon let the all consume him where he continue the cycle of abuse towards other boys while Avery was the opposite. He didn't want his son to endure what he had to go through. But now at least he can break the cycle.

"I hurt so bad, and I just wanted someone else to hurt as bad as I did." Though I in no way condone what he did, I can't help but pity him hearing this. If he'd just been able to open up to someone and get help, maybe he wouldn't have turned into a monster himself.
