Ebony Jo-Ann

When three unrelated people connected to cases that were handled by Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) are found ritualistically murdered, all the evidence points to Benson as the true target of the violence. As she struggles with guilt over the murders, Benson continues to pursue the assailant despite warnings from the FBI that she may be in danger.

A brutal murder in a tenement leaves a young black woman, once voted Most Likely to Succeed, dead and her shady crack-dealing boyfriend as suspect number one. Although Stone and Robinette have a solid case, the boyfriend refuses to plea bargain - which causes the ADAs and detectives to dig a little deeper into the woman's past. Edie Falco (The Sopranos) guest stars.
