A WOMAN FOUND DEAD AND TO HAVE BEEN HIV-POSITIVE, THE SEARCH THEN BEGINS FOR THE MAN WHO'S KNOWINGLY SPREADING THE VIRUS.
When seventeen year-old Andrea McWilliams is found strangled and beaten to death in an alley, her ex-boyfriend leads the cops to a website that McWilliams used to meet up with random men . Detective Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) decides to create a user account for the site and finds womanizer Peter Butler (guest star Brian Geraghty), the man who met up with McWilliams. The case is closed when a different suspect is proven guilty of her murder, and a new one opens when McWilliams rape kit tests positive for HIV. Not only is HIV spreading as a result of countless attacks, but now the detectives must also catch a rapist on the loose. Also starring: Chris Meloni (Detective Elliot Stabler), Dann Florek (Captain Donald Hagen), Richard Belzer (Detective John Munch), Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Stephanie March (ADA Alexandra Cabot), B.D. Wong (Dr. George Huang), Tamara Tunie (M.E. Warner) and guest star Jack Larson (Dewey Butler).

It was a pretty decent good episode. Warner got more airtime then usual, but there was no Haung or Munch but it was watchable still.

Yeah, it was ok. Although I was really surprised by the ending, that little twist...weird.

I was doing pretty well up until the ending. I wish there had been a little more of an implied consequence of Alex having to demolish her own witness's credibility. She was able to make it very clear that it was partly the woman's responsibility to check her partner's HIV status, and that definitely would have affected her case against Peter Butler, had it gone that far. I wish the part with his grandfather had been the very end of the episode, instead of jumping back to the part where there was still a rapist on the loose having nothing to do with the original case.
I did like the scene shared by Olivia and Alex where they visited the woman at her house; I think if we got more scenes like that, we'd be in good shape.
