History Recap / LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS3E8Inheritance

* TheChainOfHarm: Darrell was a half-black ChildByRape born to a Chinese mother. The other children bullied him so badly he was afraid to leave his apartment, and his own grandparents called him a "black devil." As an adult, he became a violent rapist who targeted Asian women.

** FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse: Having said that, Cabot argues this in her closing arguments.

A young Asian woman (Creator/LynnChen) is severely beaten and raped at a burglary site. Benson and Stabler initially suspect rival Asian gang members, who are in dispute over the victim's loyalty. This theory is disproven when they find another Asian victim and track down serial rapist Darrell Guan (Creator/MarcusChong). Guan was ostracized throughout his childhood and feels that even his own mother (Creator/WaiChingHo) did not love him. The case hits close to home for Benson because Guan is also the product of a rape. The trial focuses on the impact of genetic predisposition versus environmental upbringing on the nature of violence.

* InTheBlood: The defense argued that Darrell Guan ,a man of mixed African-American and Asian descent, raped women in Chinatown due to a genetic defect he inherited from his biological father, who was also a rapist. Olivia also ponders if she could've also inherited something from her father: both she and the rapist she collared were [[ChildByRape products of rape]] whose fathers were violent rapists.
** [[RedHerring Michael Tatum's]] mother lived with Starnes for a year before Michael's birth but had other boyfriends who could have fathered him. Michael doesn't want to know if he's the son of a serial rapist and won't take a [=DNA=] test to prove he isn't the Starnes relative raping women but does agree to stand in a lineup.
* SmugSnake: Nelson, Guan's defense attorney, is called out on trying to excuse her client's behavior based on unproven scientific theory. In response, she smirks and tells Cabot that she's sorry and that she'll try to slow down and use smaller words so she can keep up.
