Law and Order SVU 15.20 - Beast Obsession - Review

This had to be the most intense Benson Vs. Lewis episode that I have ever seen. I was on the edge of my seat and my heart was pounding the whole time!
It all started with the juror foreman making flirty eye contacted with Lewis during his trial. Then when the time was right she prepared cup cakes to give Lewis a fake a heart attack, so he could brake out of prison.

And that's when it all started... Lewis broke the cop's neck that was in front of his room. Then he rapes his nurse and stole her phone and car keys. When Lewis left the hospital he called Benson to let her know that he's out and he missed her. Which I'm sure sent a chill down her spine. The team pulled together to try and figure out what was Lewis's next step. When they went to the hospital they found out that the doctor that was in charge of Lewis's transfer had called in sick that day. So Rollins and Amaro went to the doctor's house and found the doctor dead and the older daughter in a closet and had been raped. When Laura got to the hospital she said that Lewis told her to tell Benson, if she wants her little sister back alive she needs to tell the truth about what happen that day at the beach house; and how she lied on the stand at his trial. In Benson's mind she knows that if she tells the truth she will be screwed professionally,  but if she doesn't a little girl will die. So in her mind it was no question, but the new acting commander ( guest star Donal Logue) told her not to, because that's just what he wants, never give in to a killer!! When one lead after another just lead to a dead end. Benson knew that Lewis just had sent them on a wild goose chase. So against everyones suggestions she made the choice to go on the news and tell the  truth about that awful day. After she finished, six hours went by and nothing happened.. No word from Lewis.
  
Oh.... this is when my heart starts racing every time I watch this episode. Benson gets that text from Lewis saying if she wants the girl she needs to come and get her alone, or she will die. So Benson, true to her character will put the safety of a victim before her own. So she goes and meets Lewis in a abandoned area. He takes her gun, vest and padded her down. When they arrived at the abandoned building Lewis took Benson up stairs where Lewis kept the little girl.

The next thing out of Lewis's mouth had to be one of the worst things he ever said. " I have you both now, I could do you... Have her watch... Or I could do her and have you watch. Either way I'm good." You could see the fear and pain in both Benson and the little girl's faces, it was heart breaking! Then Lewis hog ties Benson to a table and starts to rubbing up against her while unzipping her pants. I think at that moment everyone's heart stopped, and could feel what she felt at that moment. Then he goes "alright new game, my rules". That's when Lewis and Benson started to play the most suspenseful game of Russian Roulette that I have ever seen on television or in the movies. I  jumped every time one of them pulled the trigger! 


This was a Brilliant episode, everyone did an awesome job! The ending will go down in SVU history, with Lewis taking the last two shots of the gun. But not before making Benson think he was going to shot her in the head. Then at the very last second he turns the gun on himself and Blood splattered all over Benson's face.
