Welcome to SvU Pot, especially heinous. I'm Gabe.

I'm Tasha.

We are on Season 3, Episode 7, Sac heinous. I'm Gabe. I'm Tasha. We're on season three episode seven's sacrifice.

I flipped a switch for that one. I was like, yeah, I'm not sure. Yeah, we just got to get ready to go.

Yeah, you did. God, you're so pixelated. I am. Yeah, you're always like this.

I hate it.

It's even worse today, though.

Yeah. Am I pixelated ever? Sometimes, yeah. Not as bad as you say that I am. Like, it's not enough to super bug me. Yeah. But you're all so crabier than me. I mean, I am, but like I like to see your face and your expressions, and it's all like just a mush.

That's just what I look like now. crabier than me. I mean, I am, but like, I like to see your face and your expressions,

and it's all, like, just a mush. I can pretty much... That's just what I look like now. All right. Opening scene. A couple of dudes are leaving a gay bar called Puffies. I love it already. Yeah. So the dude's friends are, like, hyping this one guy up. Like, they obviously, like, set him up on, like, a blind date, and and they're like, oh my God, Steve totally likes you. And he's like, oh, I don't know. You know. He's like, he barely talked to me. Yeah. So he catches up with Steve and he's like, hey, sorry, this is weird or whatever. And he's like, oh, I'm nervous too. It's fine. And then you're like, oh, my God, they're totally going to hang out. And then just then you hear some gunshots. So Steve fucking pulls out a gun out of nowhere and he tells them all to get back. So him and his pales kind of take off. Yeah. You can tell immediately that Steve is like some sort of law enforcement. He's a cop. Yeah. So he's not just a guy with a gun being like, I got this. Yeah. So then immediately to my head, I was like, oh, my God, what if this is his elaborate plan for like every time, like to get out of a date?

You know, like every single time. He's like. Instead of his friend calling, he has somebody like in the alley. Yeah. Like I would be like, oh my God, Tasha, call me in five minutes and tell me there's an emergency, but this guy just sounds like a gun, you know?

He gets around the corner and his buddy's like, oh my God, Tasha, call me in five minutes and tell me there's an emergency, but this guy just has like a gun, you know? He gets around the corner, and his buddy's like, oh, my God. And he's like, you showed up just in time. Oh, yeah. He like has his friend shoot somebody so he can get a, he can get out of the day. So Steve runs in the alley to see a man on the ground and another man standing over him.

And Steve's like, show your hands.

And the guy's like, my name's Phil. I sleep here. Yeah. It's clear to me that Phil is assisting this guy that was shot and he's not the perp. Yeah. Now we're in the hospital, Benson, Stadler walk in and talk to Steve. He's also a detective. He tells them the John Doe is a white male early 20s and he got shot in the guts, which is like awful.

I like Steve. He's also a detective. He tells them the John Doe is a white male early 20s and he got shot in the guts, which is like awful. I like Steve. I do too. Yeah. I wish we saw him more. I thought we were going to see more throughout the episode, but I know. Me too. Steve said he thinks that he saw him in the bar, but he doesn't really remember. And then Olivia's like, I wonder if these are like, This is like hate is like hate crime gay bashing stuff also the victim was gang raped the only witness they have is Phil Kastner he says he had just gotten there to sleep Steve says he's not really sure if he

believes that he's homeless because he looks quote too clean which he said too clean for a street

sleeper for a street sleeper yeah yeah at first Ier. Yeah. Yeah. At first I was like, excuse me.

And then I was like for, but I get it for someone sleeping on the street. Right. They have to,

there has to be some level of like assessing the situation, even though it's like what the fuck are you saying? Yeah. Yeah. So Stabler's like, hey, Steve, like we can keep this discreet if you don't want anybody to know that you're gay. And Steve's like brass nose already, but thanks for asking. Steve is fucking hot, by the way. Steve's super hot. Yeah. I like how Stabes asked him, but also didn't make a big deal about it at the same time. He was just like, okay. Yeah. Because remember there was that one episode where the, I think it was in the first season,

there was some guy in a boat.

With the videotape and the guy he looked kind of like Bob Saggett.

Yeah.
