The big news this season has been the arrival of pit-bull prosecutor Sonya Paxton, played with a snarl by Christine Lahti. Paxton is merciless, overbearing and great fun – not least when she merrily derides the SVU as a bunch of slapdash lefties who keep letting rapists and murderers off the hook. In this episode it spirals into enjoyably over-the-top courtroom melodrama. But we begin with a man waking to find a naked woman bludgeoned to death in his apartment.
