Velasco meets with a woman through a dating app. The woman gets increasingly drunk during the date and ends up lashing out at him. It turns out she works for the company that created the app and was raped by her boss.

Tropes

  • Downer Ending: For once, averted hard. The trial was an unqualified success, the scumbag perpetrator is hauled off to prison for the foreseeable future, no one has been murdered, no one committed suicide, no relationships have been destroyed; and Carisi closes the show by going home to his loving families with the assertion from Benson that he is one of the good guys.
  • Post-Rape Taunt: The title quote, sent by Wright to one of his victims after she confronts him over text.
  • Serial Rapist: By the end of the episode, Jackson Wright is known to have raped at least six women.
  • Villainous Breakdown: Wright suffers one after Carisi provokes him with the knowledge that his wife was preparing to leave him, prompting a rant declaring all women to be lying gold-diggers.
