Things take a dramatic turn when the detectives investigated a frat house rape.
You may have forgotten about this unreal face-off scene from Season 14 of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, but we haven’t!
When Olivia Benson and Nick Amaro investigate an alleged gang rape inside a college frat house, the actors playing those iconic characters — Mariska Hargitay and Danny Pino, respectively — are at their absolute best. The scene in question is from Episode 20’s “Girl Dishonored” and sees Benson and Amaro question school counselor Talia Blaine (Carrie Coon) in an intense back-and-forth that makes the detectives fear that the college was complicit in the alleged crime.
It’s everything that makes SVU great — including another masterful performance by Hargitay that ranks among her all-time best.
Check out the complete clip embedded above, but let’s be honest: The entire episode is well worth watching on Peacock right now!
After Blaine reveals that the students on campus call the frat house in question “The Rape Factory” and seems to admit that the dean doesn’t want to ruin the fraternity members’ lives because they come from wealthy, affluent alumni families, Benson starts to put the pieces together.

“Is that why you made Renee feel like the rape was her fault?” Benson asked. “And told her to drop the charges?”
Benson is so good at sniffing out people’s B.S.!
What happened next was a microcosm of what happens in today’s world so often — someone in power blaming the victim. Blaine tried to change the narrative.

“Is that what she said?” Blaine said. “I was prepping her for the questions she’d get at the hearing: Did you go to the frat? Did you make out with him? Why did you wait so long to report?”
As intense as this line of questioning was, the rest of the episode is a thrilling look at what happens when Benson and the rest of the SVU team are laser-focused on justice in the world of drunken college students. (If you haven’t loaded up Peacock by now to watch “Girl Dishonored” yet, what are you waiting for?)
Mariska Hargitay finally reveals the secret project she teased last year
Fans finally know what project Hargitay has been keeping under wraps since last October: She’s making a documentary about her mother, the late Hollywood icon Jayne Mansfield, as announced on April 8!
Titled My Mom Jayne, the documentary follows Hargitay “as she seeks to know, understand, and embrace her mother for the first time,” according to the logline (per The Hollywood Reporter).

Mariska Hargitay helps Purina unveil “Courageous Together,” a new statue by Kristen Visbal in NYC in support of the Purple Leash Project to highlight the need for more pet-friendly domestic violence shelters on May 5, 2024. Photo: MOVI Inc.“Through intimate interviews and a collection of never-before-seen photos and home movies, [Hargitay] grapples with her mother’s public and private legacy and discovers the layers and depth of who Jayne was, not only to her audience but to those who were closest to her,” the description continues.
“This movie is a labor of love and longing,” Hargitay said in a statement. “It’s a search for the mother I never knew, an integration of a part of myself I’d never owned, and a reclaiming of my mother’s story and my own truth. I’ve always believed there is strength in vulnerability, and the process of making this film has confirmed that belief like never before.”
