Added DiffLines:

* ThePerfectCrime: The twins' revenge against Dr. Blair involved them checking into a double feature at a theater wearing identical clothing, the usher not knowing which one got up and left (because it was too dark), and committing the murder ''after'' Lindsay had flushed the estrogen out of her system, so their DNA would be identical. All this makes it impossible to determine which one killed Dr. Blair unless one of them sells the other out, and the detectives know that won't happen, so the twins are released. Benson even invokes this trope word-for-word.

* WrongGeneticSex: The episode starts with a rapist getting killed by his victim and the DNA evidence leads the detectives to teenage boy Logan Stanton who just happens to have an ironclad alibi. It turns out his twin "sister" Lindsey is actually his twin brother Lucas; it seems he lost his penis when they were circumcised as babies and the doctors who botched the operation covered their tracks by completing the job and talking his parents into raising him as a girl.
