SVU investigates another celebrity…and Noah’s in the ER

Remember last week’s “ripped-from-the-headlines” case? Well, SVU came back with another one this week, but in my opinion this one turned out better…though it was all too similar to several past episodes. “Producer’s Backend” begins with a car crash where Detective Amaro, still working the beat, comes across drunk celebrity Tansley Evans. Evans accuses Amaro of sexually assaulting her during her arrest, as if Amaro isn’t in enough trouble as it is. After reviewing dashboard-cam—and a lot of strangely persistent remarks from Rollins to Benson about getting Amaro back—Lt. Tucker finds that Amaro’s arrest procedure was flawless.
