Episode 64: It Looks Like He Came Straight from His Job as Future Cop at the Bondage Club (S16E17 Parole Violations)

The Randomizer gave Josh the gift of a lifetime—an SVU featuring beloved Patriot alum Michael Chernus as Carisi’s BIL-to-be. “Parole Violations” (S16E17) is the rare episode where we get a fair amount of main character backstory that works. This is a fun one where Chernus’s Tommy Sullivan is being forced to bone his parole officer while his pregnant fiancée (Bella Carisi, played by Marin Ireland) is buying enormous, infant-inappropriate teddy bears, getting sonograms, and having herbal tea with Liv. As always, rabbit holes are ventured down, with time spent discussing the physiological functions of junkie junk, the college and pizza scene in Utica, beating piss tests, and Staten Island cannoli. And, obviously, Patriot factors heavily into this episode.
