** Despite what happens later, Detective [=McDylan=] is quickly established as a kind and caring SVU Detective that genuinely wants to help people. Unlike Bolton's antagonistic approach (meant to get people upset and blurt things out), he is able to get Jennifer Hills of all people (who was utterly let down by law enforcement in the first film) to sit down and have coffee with him. Even after she becomes a suspect, he's still being kind and patient with her. His harshest moment with her is sternly warning her not to skip bail. Even though she ends up in prison for two years and he ends up having to shoot her, he saves her from life in prison or death row.
