Episode 232: She Banged Carlos Baldarama After A Long Day At The Office (S4E14 Mercy)

The discovery of a dead baby found in a cooler floating on the Hudson inspires SVU to JD Vance levels of state aggression towards pregnant people.

Martin Mull guest stars as a quack doc who pied pipes his followers to their AIDS-denying deaths.
