Law and Order Special Victims Unit - Review - Chicago CrossOver " Write Your Success in a Stone and Your Failures in the Sand"

"Write Your Success in a Stone and Your Failures in the Sand" It's true, even in life, you can't think about your failures or what you don't have, you have to think about what you do have, and what you've accomplished.

The case starts out in Chicago when a firefighter rescued a man from a burning building. The man dropped a suitcase full of childpornagraphy, the Chicago P.D was called who tracked down one of the victims to New York. When Detective Rollins took the call, she came to realized that one of the victims was Detective Lindsay's half brother Teddy from Chicago. Which made the case personal for Lindsay, Teddy was the main focus of the case. Teddy's family thought he ran away or went to go live with his dad, but somehow he ended up in New York. When the detectives managed to find Teddy, he was working the piers as a male prostitute. He was really damaged, you could tell that he was working the streets for a while. In the past we've learned there's always something more underneath the anger.

Later Benson explained to him that the same people who took him, took another  boy Henry, and they're doing the same things to Henry that they did to him. Benson also mentioned that they've talked to his friend Jocelyn from the center, and that she's in school and doing really well. But the second she mention Jocelyn, Teddy clamed up and dismissed Benson.

When Amaro and Rollins went back and talk to Jocelyn, they told her that they found Teddy, she freaked out and ran off. So the detectives went back over to the FBI where they found out that Jocelyn was another victim of the same people who took Teddy and Henry. They also found out that Teddy raped Jocelyn.

Teddy-
"No, it was my idea, because I knew who they'd send in if it wasn't me. SOMEONE OLDER, SOMEONE ROUGHER. SHE WASN'T READY FOR THAT JOCELYN WAS MY FRIEND! And you're right they were done with me I-I could do what I-I-I want. So I went out on my own.

Jocelyn to Teddy-

Jocelyn-
"I thought you were my friend, why would you do that to me? 

With the help of Jocelyn and Teddy both SVU and the Chicago P.D was able to bring down one of the largest child pornography ring that spanned across the country. They both started out as victims and ended up as the heroes. Saving three children, one in New York and two in Chicago that were products of this horrible ring of operation. The case ends with Teddy flying to Chicago and naming the ring leader who was the head of the Department of Family Services. He would place foster children with foster parents, who then would sell them to childpornographers.

This crossover event was great. The writers did a great job working together, I only wish to have seen more of the case in Chicago Fire instead of in the last few minutes of the episode. I just felt Chicago Fire gave us very little of the first half of the crossover, it wasn't nearly good as SVU and Chicago P.D.!!

This story proves that even though you've been raped or forced to rape someone else you can start your life over. Everyone gets a restart button if they want one. And like what Benson told the ring leader of the child pornography. "Even the worst killers, child molesters, and rapist sleep better at night and feel the sun on their skin when they tell the truth."
