Superb!

I completely disagree with anyone who thought this was a bad episode. It was a terrific episode and one I wish I had recorded. The "Special Victims Unit" of Law and Order is my favorite of the Law and Order series, mostly because I find all the characters more interesting. I like the teaming of Hargitay and Meloni and find them both very human and very resilient. I also like Dann Florek's character. I have enjoyed every episode I've seen but especially this one. The acting, directing, and camera work was excellently done and I was moved in every moment. Like Night Heat in the 1980s, and The Practice, this Law and Order is one of the most interesting crime dramas. All-in-all, both this episode and this series is one of my favorites!

Trivia
This is the first episode where Benson and Stabler make physical contact (they hug) other than a rub on the shoulders or a crime scene reenactment.

Goofs
If you watch the car window during the crash scene --- when Olivia is talking to Stabler, the window is open 2 inches. Then, during the crash, the window is show open 6-8 inches so that you can see that she is unconscious when the camera pulls in. The window is still 6-8 inches open when Olivia revives and calls in the accident.

Then, when Olivia has to smash the window to exit the crushed car, the window is shown fully closed, not even open a bit.
