Episode 420 - S19E10 - Pathological

**Matt Reuter** (0:05)
Hello, listeners, and welcome back to another episode of Law and Order Special Viewing Unit, the show where we view, review, and lovingly ridicule everyone's favorite cop drama, Law and Order Special Victims Unit, every episode in a row from the beginning.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (0:16)
So you don't have to.

**Matt Reuter** (0:17)
I am your host, Matt Reuter, joining me as always, the mermaid of this podcast. That is Aviv Rubenstein over there. How are you doing tonight, Aviv?

**Aviv Rubenstein** (0:28)
You put your penis inside of the girl, and that means you're in love.

**Matt Reuter** (0:32)
I mean, that's how I always did it. Have I been doing it wrong?

**Aviv Rubenstein** (0:35)
No, you've been doing it extremely right.

**Matt Reuter** (0:37)
Again, I must point out the fact that this is now the third person, and it's kind of just dropped, but the third person that we have determined has only had non-consensual sex, or doesn't understand what consensual sex is.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (0:52)
This was the- well, she's- something wrong with this girl's braid.

**Matt Reuter** (0:58)
There's something wrong with a lot of people's brains in this one, but like you know what I'm saying where she's like, that's what rape is.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (1:03)
It's like, I positively loved this episode like you positively loved it, but like you would love a late night low budget, you know, mock or move it. Yeah, it is just so crazy and wacky.

**Matt Reuter** (1:25)
Yeah, there are so many quests like we'll get to them obviously as the episode goes on, but like there are so many fridge bumps like, no, hang on a second. Now, how would that person know that information based off of what I'm seeing on the screen right now?
That doesn't make any sense.
Like for example, I'm just gonna get into it now rather than wait. Liv gets the call that the mom is at the hospital like attacking the girl. We cut to the mom just arriving there. And then the dad and Rollins coming in later. Who called Liv? Because that because if someone is relaying...

**Aviv Rubenstein** (2:02)
Finn was like, oh, just run it by Liv or something. No, no, Finn didn't want to run it. Who did call Liv?

**Matt Reuter** (2:09)
This is what I'm saying. Unless there was like a weird time jump in there. Like, meanwhile, it's like Liv got the phone call after this incident happened, but like then we jumped back in time to see what was happening. Like, it doesn't make any sense.
And I'm like, there's so much of like that type of shit where it's like, wait, hang on a second. What is... what's...

**Aviv Rubenstein** (2:31)
That didn't... that didn't bother me. And frankly, it still doesn't really bother me that much.

**Matt Reuter** (2:37)
Wait, so this 15 year old, her dad is renting her and the, the, the, I guess, kind of severely autistic kid move in together somewhere.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (2:49)
No, no, no, no.

**Matt Reuter** (2:51)
That's what...

**Aviv Rubenstein** (2:51)
They're not moving in together. The boyfriend is volunteering.

**Matt Reuter** (2:56)
My dad rented us an apartment and then immediately starts to...

**Aviv Rubenstein** (2:59)
Us as in... us as in her and her father.

**Matt Reuter** (3:02)
But she immediately starts talking about the boyfriend.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (3:06)
Because the boyfriend is going to start volunteering where she has to do community service.

**Matt Reuter** (3:11)
I don't know. The way that I heard it...

**Aviv Rubenstein** (3:13)
I'm on the show's side on this one. This does make... this, this makes all the sense of the world.

**Matt Reuter** (3:17)
Because I was like, I mean, I know you didn't have a child, but like a childhood, but like to be like, well, kid, we're just going to toss you in there. All right. Well, no childhood. Welcome to adulthood then.
Go live with this kid. All rent the apartment for you. You guys could just play house for a while.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (3:33)
That's not what's happening.

**Matt Reuter** (3:34)
I mean, the dad seems... I don't know about this dad, to be completely honest.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (3:37)
He seems pretty cool.

**Matt Reuter** (3:39)
He seems pretty just like, whatever.
I don't know. I guess the wife knows best. I don't know. I guess I'll almost never see the daughter again. That's fine because it stresses her out.

**Aviv Rubenstein** (3:50)
That is an ungenerous reading of what happens at the end of the episode.

**Matt Reuter** (3:57)
The way that it's described when they first go to talk to him. They're like, why is it that you don't see your daughter? He's like, the wife knows best. What am I going to do?
