Okay, in my opinion, this episode was like, all over the place. I definetly got confused more than once. And with the Nikki girl ending up being the one that killed her own sister in the end? I've got to say that I thought the entire episode was sort of a disaster. The one thing that I've got to give TPTB props on is that I don't think we've ever seen a case like this one before. Atleast it was something "new" And I can't tell you how frusterated I'm getting with them misleading the promos! I was definetly thinking that the El/Liv interragation thing was going to be more in-depth with them getting in a fight or something like that, but oh well.

Well the episode wasn't the worst, it wasn't bad at all...but it wasn't the best either. I would put it as "okay". It didn't go off to another place that didn't fit and it had a gentle twist to it, with Heather/Kirsten. I think it would've been better if at the end Nicki had thrown herself off though- like an unexpected thing to happen: she acts to give in but really doesn't.
Plus, Elliot looked so cute in the Captain's office about the broken camera, he acted like a little innocent yet secretly guilty kid.
Bigger plus: Haung! I think he was on longer here then he had been on both Lunacy and Smut.

I loved seeing Huang and some Fin and Munch too.
I rather liked the episode as it kept me on my toes. I didn't know who did it in the first 10 minutes.
I liked theargument between Liv and El the point of which was to get the perp to confess.

I liked this episode. I think it was better than average (on a season 10 scale), and seeing, even though it was not much, some Munch, Fin, and even Huang, was nice.
I was sure the Nikki had killed the real Heather as soon as I saw her, so I didn't think it was a big shocker. However, the episode was entertaining, and therefore I didn't really care.
Oh, and was I the only one who thought that the whole thing with the vic being kept prisoner in a basement for several years and sexually abusing her bore some resemblance to the Fritzl case over in Holland?

Nope you are not. I think it was inspired by it too- like Babes with the teenage pregnancy pact that really did happen. Sick was inspired by Michael Jackson, Chameleon was inspired by Arleen Wournos (I don't think I spelled that right), a lot of storylines are ripped from the headlines. I'm waiting for the Caylee Anthony case now.

...I honestly don't have an opinion of the episode in over all. It was weard to watch and sort of interesting because the story kept constantly changing, but none of the twists were like 'ooh...'. Didn't make me gasp the air. I agree with mad4svu that it would have been better if Nikki hadn't came down. Gotta say that Grayleck was one of the positive things in the episode. She wasn't an up-tight b..... for once. And seeing Huang. I didn't realise to miss him before watching the old episodes where he appeared more often. And yeah, it was a disappointment when liv was just acting and not really snapping at elliot like the promo hinted. I'm waiting for the Caylee Anthony case now. What's the deal with her?

Caylee Anthony was a little girl that was missing and was eventually her remains were found near her home. The mom is now being held for her murder and did not really seem at all to really love Caylee. Nancy Grace has been on this case for several months now.
