A drug raid leads to the grim discovery of a woman who has been raped and murdered. A very extensive pot-growing operation is found in her house and the "merchandise" is untouched. Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) find out from the Medical Examiner that the victim had ovarian cancer and was undergoing chemotherapy. They deduce that instead of being a street drug dealer, the victim was growing the pot to use for her own medicinal purposes, but that doesn't answer the question of who killed her. There is a break when M.E. Warner (Tamara Tunie) finds Benson and Stabler having lunch. They analyzed the vomit at the scene and it matched the NYC schools' middle school lunch menu that day, and with no sperm found on the victim, they presume their perpetrator is an adolescent.

A man is found dead in a seedy hotel, and it appears to be a perverse sexual encounter gone awry. It takes awhile but Briscoe and Green find the identity of the victim. First by tracing a phone call to a hooker named Cosette, then by talking to the manicurist near his hotel, who tells them the victim had been there a couple of days before he died and told the manicurist he drove around the country and was from Philly. They find his car, with a stack of clips about Mitchell Maas in the trunk. Maas is a bookstore heir and fugitive rapist, and the victim is "Bobcat" Rovelli, bounty hunter. They find his cell phone records that show he made three calls to Brian Kellogg, a star reporter for the venerable New York Tribune. African-American and young, Kellogg was on the fast track and had just done a controversial interview with Maas. But he refuses to give up his whereabouts.
