I'm getting tired of this-Why is Benson's relationships (friendships, romantic, sibling) end up going south? It's always Benson. Seriously, how much suffering can she take? Give her something that won't end up breaking her.

I was so completely surprised that they went all the way with that story line. On one hand, it was fantastic, fantastic interplay between Mariska and Marcia / Olivia and Dana. On the other hand, I feel like they totally assassinated the character of one of their best guest characters and wrote a back story for her that is almost unbelievable given her previous stories. I was praying that this just all looked very bad for Dana and that it would be discovered that yes she was involved, but it was the boyfriend or even the father. Yes, it was a heartwrenching and "shocking" episode, but at what cost to the characters and integrity of the show's story lines? JrBenson I agree with your comment regarding Benson. It seems like she's put on this pedestal of the ideal she's expected to live up to, and around her is only suffering and disappointment. She needed someone strong like Dana to play off of as well as to highlight flaws. On a bright note, it looks like the ratings have recovered a bit after last week's controversy, rising over 6% from last week in the 18-49 category, and if I'm interpreting these numbers correctly, viewership dropped off other networks at 9pm and doubled on NBC while SVU was airing.
