The last two episodes of House were okay, nothing to write home about.
Last week's Law and Order: SVU, "Persona" was good- and was a real "special victims" episode. It was almost like an old episode! Benson tries to help a battered wife, but also discovers a fugitive who had killed her own husband. Brenda Blethyn played the fugitive.
This was NBC's description:
Benson goes into hiding to find justice for an abused housewife, which in turn uncovers an unsolved 34-year-old murder case.
Not quite that simple!
The death of the abused wife (Clea Duvall, fantastic!) at the hands of her husband was really upsetting, one of the more grim scenes the show has done in years.
The whole thing with Judge Donnelly trying to settle a score (getting the fugitive to justice) was absolutely lame- I have a hard time believing she would be so vindictive after 34 years. It was completely over the top, and the main flaw with the episode.
That horrible pharmacist at the beginning who refused to give Mia the morning after pill ("Keep it in your pants!") made me sick. What a bitch. That almost could have made an episode on its own- pharmacist refuses prescription on moral grounds, turns up dead, but with some bizarre twist.
