Get your first look at Law & Order: SVU Season 26 Episode 5 here! This week’s episode, titled “Economics of Shame,” features guest star Elizabeth Alderfer as a local news reporter who needs Benson and Carisi’s help. In the clip below, our beloved Captain and ADA are going over some details about the “male model type” perp who’s blackmailing their victim as they attempt to find him and destroy the photos he has of her. But then, Kelsey — the reporter in question — bursts in with some news that makes the case take on a whole new level of ick.
Dating Profile Bro recorded a sexual encounter, clearly without consent, so now the amount of potential damage to Kelsey’s reputation gets way, way higher. If the squad doesn’t find this guy and shut him down before the deadline he’s given Kelsey, things could get really, really bad.
