Latrice identifies herself as Jimmy Mack's "bottom bitch," even though she's pregnant. "Still got it," she says. Oh, and Julie really enjoyed being a ho too. Thought it was "mad fun, like being one of them rap video hoes or something like that." They met at the fights, because Julie got off on watching guys pound each other. And Latrice here helped Jimmy turn Julie out!
The detectives view Latrice's pictures back at the station. She was taking pictures because Jimmy Mack wanted there to be proof of Julie having sex with the Odami brothers, and she was to claim afterwards that they raped her, so Jimmy could blackmail the boys for their tuition cheques. But Julie changed her mind about helping with the blackmail, and Jimmy Mack beat her to death. Latrice kept taking pictures of the beating and everything, for "insurance. So he never come at me like that. Never."
Casey says she'll get the guilty plea withdrawn, and drop Ezra's attempted murder charge, but she can't do anything about Ezra's gun possession charge. Fin's all, "See, the thing about that is the gun got lost during transport from the scene." Casey goes with it, and says if there's no gun, she'll have to drop the charges. Fin glances at Cragen, who's cool. "Stuff happens," he shrugs.
Chester meets the boys outside the courthouse to tell them he talked to Dean Wormer, and they're back in school. "So that's the big surprise?" says Jadon. "No, I got another one," grins Chester.
Cut to Fin knocking on Janelle's door. Oh, god. Will there never be a happy ending on SVU? Ever? No answer from Janelle's apartment, but there's music playing. Fin walks in and looks through the place, and then he sees Janelle, sitting in a chair, dead. Arm tied off. He takes out his cellphone and dials.
Chester answers his ringing cellphone. "Hey, Fin. Where the hell are you? We've been waiting." A moment later, his smile vanishes. "I'll tell 'em," he says, with his back to the boys. He hangs up, and the boys want to know what the big surprise is. Chester pastes a smile back on. "I'm taking you guys to Red Lobster." Mother's death, Red Lobster? You tell me which is the greater tragedy.
