The episode opens with a victim recounting an encounter with an assailant, through cognitive reconstruction methods.

Rollins uses a database to locate another case such as this in Atlanta.

The man obviously targets his victims, and stalks them extensively. There are three cases in Atlanta, around six years old, that resemble this one.

Rollins and Fin head to the former's old department to get some more data.

Olivia, meanwhile, faces losing Noah pending a hearing.

Rollins and Fin visit a victim in Atlanta, and she is cautious seeing as how her husband doesn't know of her past. She confirms the song, and that the assailant had a pager.

There are more instances of the case that appear, and they all confirm a pattern. This is a serial rapist that always commits multiple crimes per spree.

The Deputy Chief calls Benson in for a hearing where al the inspectors and upper management alike press on her for results.

A new victim is a 12 year old.

Fin and Caresi question the father while Rollins and Olivia question the young girl.

She turns out to offer a lot of help: the color of the car and license plate, partial numbers for the plate, and she left her headphones in the car as proof of her being there.

A potential suspect turns out to be a solicitor and drug trafficker but not the assailant.

Benson attends the hearing for Noah's custody and is told that it's hard to imagine her having time for the child as well as her career.

Security discovers an EMT, whose access to hospital vehicles, has allowed him to go about his depraved rituals yearly and in multiple states, without any threat of detection.

Through a victim's communication with the suspect, Benson and the gang set up a sting.

The suspect tires to flee, but Fin clotheslines him as he runs away.

In an effort to get the suspect to confess to more cases than the 12 year old, possession of "kiddie porn," Caresi and Fin try to interrogate him.

They play to his ego and his fear of retribution in prison.
