After a young boy, Christopher Ryan (guest star Jae Head), is caught driving a runaway van, Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Detective Benson take the seven year-old into questioning. When Christopher claims his foster parents, Gwen and Noah Sibert (guest stars Julie Bowen and Luke Perry), bribe him in exchange for abusive medical testing, the detectives investigate his allegations. As Detective Benson continues to study the boys accusations, she is led back to a former unsolved rape case involving Kaitlyn Murphy (guest star Sara Gilbert). After reviewing both cases, Benson uncovers a common factor, and with help from new A.D.A Kim Greylek (Michaela McManus) she just might be able to solve the cases. Also starring: Richard Belzer, Dann Florek, Ice-T, Michaela McManus, and B.D. Wong. Also guest starring: Mary Beth Evans.

FBI agent Star Morrison (guest star Marcia Gay Harden) reappears on the scene, where alleged rape victim Haley (guest star Kristen Bush) refuses a rape kit. Benson learns that Haley is an FBI informant whose ex-boyfriend is a radical environmental rights advocate. In order to foil the group's terrorist activities, Benson goes undercover to further investigate.
