Personally, I was outragously disappointed. Normally I can always find a bright spot in the episode, but not this time. Liv's undercover stint was like that other episode where her 'big secret' would come out - blink and it's gone. I wasn't impressed with that.
The storyline - pure weirdness. I was more interested in the sister of the brain child and the abuse they suffered at the hands of their father and from the school. I wish they focused on that rather then build so much hype on the undercover thing. That just took away anything salvagable in this episode - everyone was gearing up for that and it was done before you could blow your nose.
And Greylek...she barely has any screen time that you forget she even exsists on the show - really, what's the point in having her there if they don't use her. I wish those writers could read some of the fanfic that's out there - some of them are really amazing.
Storyline rating: F Acting: B+

Well the preview certainly had me fooled on what the episode would be about. Here I thought that the girl was meaning to be number one now in a pedaphile sex ring which was why Olivia went undercover as a Madam. Well the episode did seem to start off that way but it didn't, just a jealous girl wanting to be first...like Pixies. But I do like Pixies and this episode was good as well so it's an approvement, a redeemer from some previous duds.
I like Kim's hair down. She looks softer instead of looking stiff as she has done with the bun.
Fin had the best lines, once again, making me chuckle.

I couldn't be more confused as to why they picked Michaela to play this character if they are not going to use her, or have this character if they are not going to let her do something. At every twist and turn they have thrown a wrench in the cogs, and in this episode they don't even show her, they use another ADA in another town, another state even. Anyone else see something fishy about this?
And even besides that, the episode last night was lack luster. The episode took a turn, but not for the better. I would have rather continued on the sex ring angle, or the abusive father angle. Either of those would have been better.

Thanks so much everyone for sharing. I feel asleep and woke up for a bit at 10:50 and was totally lost. I hope to see it in reruns.

I was semi disappointed in this ep.
I also agree Liv's outfit was hilarious.
But the roomate had serious problems. I didnt really suspect her but if being deprived of sleep does that to you. Im gonna catch more ZZzz often.
Im disappointed in how they are using Kim. She is hardly in the show right now. She has potential and is not given enough air time.

This reminded me why I'm desperatly longing for Alex's return. Things have got to change. On a bright side, seeing Olivia dressed up as Cruella de Ville was funny, however short.

I'm probably the only one, but I think this a good episode. Better than half of the other eps in this season so far. I don't really pay attention to the summaries or trailers no longer, because they're always misleading. Less fear of getting disappointed when the actual episode airs It was freshing that the episode was more about the case than the detective's, direct or indirectly. For once they were just detectives, doing their job. And the case wasn't so bad either. People should support child prodigys, not try benefit on them. I don't understand how someone can make money of their cost. It's good that there's special schools for kids with high IQ, but pushing them to compete with each other.... urgh... Must agree with the common opinion of Benson's outfit, it was definately amusing xD
