“I’ve been taking pills and watching 26.2 hours of my favorite crime show…and I still have 22,149 hours to go!

Benson and Stabler think a teen plucked from the river is a Ukrainian sex slave, but learn she's actually a prep school mathematics champion with an abusive father. Attention turns to her class rival (played by Sarah Hyland) who's been awake for days on pills to help her study.  

We're talking about SVU season 10 episode 12 "Hothouse." Our special guest is TATS promotions director Lily Flynn.

Plot points for this episode come from the controversy around treatments for Attention Deficit Disorder in school children.
