Chung-chung! At the apartment of Benjy Dowe (300 St. Marks) on November first, Harper's short, somewhat scruffy boyfriend is telling Stabler and Benson that he's "going to kill whoever did this." Stabler tells Benjy to stay calm for them, and ascertains that Harper and Benjy have been going out for a while. Benson assures Benjy that the SVU is doing everything they can in their investigation, and when Benjy starts playing What If, saying he knew Harper should have moved in with him, Benson tells him that what Harper needs from him is unconditional support, about everything. Benjy tells them that Harper couldn't sleep, so she took a shower and went to work.
So we hop on the Chung-chung! Express, next stop: Le Poeme, on Prince Street. Benson is asking Harper how much pot she smoked last night. Harper, in an absolutely hideous red and orange turtleneck sweater, is all defensive: "Why? You think I got paranoid? Lost it?" Stabler says they're just wondering why she didn't mention smoking the joint, and Benson assures her that it's routine to the investigation. Harper's all worked up: "Smoking pot is not part of my routine! I had a job interview -- I was just trying to mellow out. Nothing that happened last night is part of my routine." Benson tells her they just have to be thorough. Harper snarks, "Great. THANK YOU for all your hard work!" and heads back inside. Now we see that the back of the sweater is even worse than the front. Holy 1991-era J. Crew stripes, Batman! Benson remarks, "That went well," as she and Stabler head over to . . .
