A sexual assault on a 16-year-old girl sees Stabler temporarily assigned a new partner (Anthony Anderson). However, it's soon clear that the assault was meant as revenge for the victim's own bullying of overweight peers.
This episode provides examples of:
- Asshole Victim: Tommy Strahan was the one who beat up Rudi Bixton. When Rudi killed him, no one believes Tommy didn't had it coming.
- Cowboy Cop: Blaine, even Stabler has issues with some of his tactics.
- "Could Have Avoided This!" Plot: Several characters point out that all of the events in the episode were revenge for Rudi’s assault, and that if Rudi had reported it, none of the crimes in this episode would have happened.
- Deadpan Snarker:Cragen: You know why I put you with Blaine?Stabler: Because you started drinking again?
- Disproportionate Retribution: The younger Bixton brother explains he decided to rape Jessica in the middle of his and his sister's revenge attack because "she called my sister a pig [and] said pigs shouldn't be allowed to breed."
- Everything Is Racist: Assemblyman Molina goes on TV to bemoan the fact that Jessica’s attackers were caught within a day and Rudi’s assault went uninvestigated because she was rich and white while he was poor and black. Never mind the fact that Rudi never reported his assault and the police had no way of knowing it happened.
- Fingore: The episode opens with the unit finding Jessica DeLay's finger in a trash. It was eventually reattached.
- Formerly Fat: Jessica DeLay. In fact her main reason for hating obese people is due to them reminding her of what she used to be.
- I Hate Past Me: Jessica DeLay hates fat people because they remind her of her former self.
- Informed Attribute: Cragen calls out Stabler for his Cowboy Cop tendencies and says "God only knows how Olivia put up with you for so long." There has never been any indication that Benson is any better than Stabler in this regard.
- Multi-Character Title: The title refers to the Bixton siblings, the
Hollywood Pudgy Lucius Blane, and the Formerly Fat Jessica DeLay. - Police Are Useless: The Bixton siblings seem to have this view, which is probably why Rudi never bothered to report his assault in the first place.
- Skewed Priorities: When Jessica's severed finger is discovered near the crime scene still with a ring on it, Blaine immediately begins yelling at a nearby homeless woman and accusing her of cutting it off to steal the ring. Stabler, the Only Sane Man for once, is more concerned with getting the finger on ice so it can be reattached.
- Teeth-Clenched Teamwork: Stabler and Blaine.
- Temporary Substitute: Lucius Blaine replaces Olivia as Eliot's partner. He lasted until the end of the episode.
