SVU S7 E9 “Blinded”
Your big fat head was able to smash through this window. I’ll remember that next time we’re supposed to kick in a door.
Benson and Stabler learn the kidnapper and rapist they're looking for is children's book author Saul Picard. When they take him into custody, Picard head butts Elliot into a car window, leaving him temporarily blind. The feds want to bring Picard back to Louisiana where child rape is a capital offense. Huang says the suspect is schizophrenic and belongs in a hospital, not death row.
Novak schemes with a defense attorney to keep Picard in NY. Motivated by personal reasons, Casey's plan to sabotage her own prosecution to save Picard puts her at loggerheads with new District Attorney Jack McCoy and a vengeful Benson, seeking revenge for Stabler's injury.
We're talking about Special Victims Unit season nine episode seven "Blinded." Our guest is Ronald Young Jr. from the "Weight for It" podcast.
A minor plot point alludes to the life of author Theodor Geisel, aka, Dr. Suess.
