Stabler fills Benson in on who the players are in the Albanian mob. Rita is not present at the party they are watching. Albi's wife is there too. Stabler says he has no idea whether Albi's wife is involved. He seems defensive. There are a few more players and a guy they don't recognize who Benson thinks is the client. Benson sees Flutura with the girls.

At home, Stabler's mother is looking for her pills and insists Eli took her pills. Stabler comes home into the middle of this. He sends everyone away and makes tea for his mom and then talks to her outside. She insists she had a vegetable garden when Stabler was a boy and he used to eat the peas off the vine. He doesn't know what she's talking about. She's worried about Eli. Stabler says let me worry about him. She says he's never home and wouldn't know.

Meanwhile, Brewster is shocked the girls don't know this is a trafficking scam before they arrive in the US. A guy involved with this donates to women's groups.

Stabler goes to see Amelia. She says everything is good today. He notices she is beat up. She won't tell him what happened. She says it was her fault.

Bell tries to take Amelia aside but Amelia won't cooperate and goes into a dark SUV instead. Stabler knew she wouldn't go for it. He could take the driver. He is having a hard time with it being an SVU case. But if they don't take down the KO they will just get other girls. Benson calls. Howard is attending a party where there will be trafficked girls.

Stabler and Bell watch the girls get out of the van. Rita is still missing. Flutura is there. They need to get in the house. Stabler goes off without permission as usual.

Stabler goes to see Flutura and flirts with her. She thinks Reggie told him and is mad. Stabler offers to do security. She says the girls work for her and he says that's nice, that's like a safehouse. He doesn't want her to tell Reggie he's broke. She says he has some nerve now out. He asks to use the bathroom first. He leaves and watches Flutura teaching the girls to sing You Are my Sunshine.

Bell is impatient for Stabler to return. Jett calls. She's got the guest list. Kilbride is going to be there.

Stabler goues upstairs and almost walks into a girl in a towel. He finds a photo and hears a girl crying. The girl passes by and he finds the copy of Count of Monte Cristo he gave Rita. In his camper, he reads the book and looks at the photo.

Bell meets with Kilbride. He claims not to know about the party. She asks him about Howard. Kilbride says he's not concerned about what Howard has to say. She says she's not threatening him -- she needs to get into that party. He says he doesn't want to end up in Ross' little black book. She says take her to the party and she'll make sure his name stays out of it.

Eli is looking at a text from Stabler and looking upset. Stabler asks if everything's okay. Eli gives his grandma's pills to some kid and gets offended that the kid says negative things about Mrs. Stabler's mental health. He insists Eli take a pill when Eli thought they were selling.

Reggie is gonna stay home with his sick mom but she won't let him. In the car, Reggie complains that "Eddie" made him look bad by going beh find his back. Don't make him regret putting his ass on the line for Eddie.

Stabler watches as the girls are put into the van. He and Reggie head over. Fin and Benson watch on video monitors. Brewster is shocked that Bell is beautiful.  He also doesn't recognize Jett's Dickens reference.

Stabler whispers into his watch that there are at least 10 girls. Bell says tablets are numbered. Benson wants Bell to check out other people's tablets Ross' daughter is there. Ross knows Bell is a police sergeant. (How can this be good?) He asks a girl for a list of organizations for Bell but Flutura takes the girl away. Stabler follows. Bell finds an ugly piece of art on auction. Men get jewelry items that women don't.  Meanwhile, Flutura brings Liza to the fourth floor.

Kilbridge goes. Stabler sees some rich guys go into the room with the girls.

Bell sees one of the jewelry auction pieces on on of the girls and realizes what is going on.

Girls are being drugged. Benson tells Stabler to get out before they move in. But Reggie shows up with a girl just then. Fortunately, Reggie gets a call from his mom. Stabler recognizes Rita but she's scared of him and screams that he's trying to take her. Stabler gets in a fistfight with some guy who ties him up. He kicks the guys and Bell comes and arrests them before they shoot him. Stabler runs away. Bell says Stabler is safe. The cops are taking the girls. Stabler helps Flutura climb down a balcony, then runs the other way. He steals a guy's motorbike to chase after Rita.

Stabler rides through Central Park, trying to keep tabs on the van which is on the road right outside the park. They seem to be the only two in this area of NYC. The van almost hits Stabler. He rescues Rita and calls for help. Rita screams that Stabler will have her son killed. He tells her he's a cop and shows her her son is safe in England. She hugs him.  Stabler says he has to go but the cops will take care of her.

Ross threatens to kill himself with his gun and Benson and Bell burst in. Benson knocks the gun out of his hand and gets something out of the fireplace.

Costa wants to know how this happened. Flutura says there is a rat in the organization.

Stabler comes home and Benson shows up to check on him.

Eli is in the bathroom when Benson needs to use it. She finds pills on the floor and after Eli is gone she tells Stabler. His mother is listening. Stabler is looking for Eli. He says he will stay the night and will walk Benson out.

Benson tells Stabler he needs to come home before it's too late. Stabler says he's being careful. Benson is worried about his Eddie Wagoner persona taking over.

Inside, Stabler's mom thinks Eli's behavior is just how life is.
