Law & Order: Special Victims Unit: Difference between revisions

* [[Dead Little Sister]]: Used with a huge twist. {{spoiler|Olivia's half-brother Simon is accused of rape. The accusation turns out to be false, and the one who framed him was the older sister of a mentally unbalanced woman he once dated, who commit suicide after he left her.}}

* [[Death by Sex]]: WAY too many times to count, but considering the fact that it's the main character's job to investigate sex crimes, it's a [[Justified Trope]].

* [[Demoted to Extra]] If you began watching after the first half of the first season, you probably are not aware that Elliot has 4 children. While his son Dickie and middle daughter Kathleen have continued to appear occasionally, his oldest daughter Maureen and youngest daughter Elizabeth have not been seen since the seventh season.

* [[Destructive Romance]]: The show has portrayed many of these over the years. In one episode, Olivia tries in vain to convince a woman to report her husband for Domestic Abuse. {{spoiler|Of course she refuses to betray her beloved like that and eventually ends up dying in Olivia's arms, stabbed to death by her husband.}}
