He explains that he was so frightened, he couldn't move until the figure had disappeared into the darkness. Benson and Stabler immediately recognize the incident as a case of "flash mob" crime.

Flash mob crimes are organized online through social media and often involve a large group of people suddenly gathering in a public place to create chaos. In this case, the group organized to scare people in Central Park late at night.

As the detectives start to investigate the flash mob crime, they find out that the person wearing the skull mask was a teenage girl named Emily who was part of a group of kids who called themselves "The Ghoul Squad." Emily's mother, played by guest star Lori Singer, is horrified when she finds out what her daughter has been doing and encourages her to turn herself in.

As the detectives interview Emily and her friends, they discover that "The Ghoul Squad" has more sinister plans than just scaring people in the park. The group is planning to set off a "dirty bomb" in Grand Central Station on Halloween night.

Benson and Stabler and the rest of the SVU team work frantically to stop the Ghoul Squad before they can carry out their plan. As the clock ticks down to Halloween night, tensions run high. Meanwhile, Emily's mother must come to terms with the fact that her daughter is involved in something that could potentially hurt many people.

As the detectives race to stop the Ghoul Squad, they must also deal with internal conflicts within the SVU team. Detective Benson becomes increasingly frustrated with Detective Stabler's lack of cooperation as he deals with personal problems at home.

In the end, the detectives are able to stop the Ghoul Squad from carrying out their plans, but not before Emily is killed in a struggle with the police. As the episode ends, the detectives must grapple with the tragedy of a young life lost and the moral dilemma of how far they should go to stop such crimes in the future.
