Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Season 15 returns to NBC on Wednesday, April 2 with Episode 19 “Downloaded Child.”
In this episode, single mom Jenny Aschler (guest star Meghann Fahy) is arrested for child endangerment.
Not trusting anyone to take care of her young daughter Maddie (guest star Ella Anderson), Jenny instead leaves her home alone for days.
Jenny’s fierce motherly instincts and fear of men leads Sergeant Benson (Mariska Hargitay) to suspect she may have been a victim of child abuse.
With help from Dr. Lindstrom (guest star Bill Irwin), Jenny discovers deeply repressed memories of violence, rape and neglect.
Ice-T (Detective Odafin Tutuola), Danny Pino (Detective Nick Amaro), Kelli Giddish (Detective Amanda Rollins) and Raúl Esparza (Rafael Barba), Dean Winters (Detective Brian Cassidy) and Daniel Stewart Sherman (Gary Aschler) will also star in this episode.
According to E! Online, there will be a follow up with Baby Boy Doe in episode 19.
“That baby right now is caught in the system. No one has come forward, no one is in the system who is related to the kid and the kid is getting shuttled from foster home to foster home,” executive producer Warren Leight said.
“Even the bureaucrats in charge of the kid are being rotated. So it seems to me the only one who is really concerned for Baby Boy Doe, aside from our fans, is Olivia Benson. So, in 19 we'll get just a little follow up on it. But Baby Boy Doe doesn’t have a name or a family yet and Olivia is showing up. ”
