“Pique” is an essential episode for a few reasons, but none more important than the fact that it is the first appearance of beloved forensic psychiatrist George Huang, played by B.D. “Chat Room” is a great introductory episode for anyone new to the series or for anyone who maybe hasn’t seen the older seasons and just wants to see where the series began. The episode has all the ingredients of a compelling SVU episode: a seemingly cut and dry case that turns out to be complex difficult battles between police and lawyers interpersonal drama and that ever-so-frustrating fade to black without a solid conclusion. Even with him in custody, things become increasingly more difficult as the detectives discover his ties to a large pedophile ring. They arrange a meeting and are able to apprehend the man behind the Yachtsman username. In order to catch the man, they begin chatting with him with Detective John Munch ( Richard Belzer) posing as a 12-year-old girl. Once the detectives begin investigating, it comes out that she had never made contact with the man, but can give them his information. It starts with a young girl coming to the precinct and disclosing to Detectives Olivia Benson ( Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler ( Chris Meloni) that she had been raped by a man she met in a chat room called Yachtsman. Going back to SVU’s first season, “Chat Room” is an episode that truly captures what the series is all about.
