Ep 4. Shrunk

In Law & Order season 14 episode 4 titled "Shrunk," the team investigates the attempted suicide of a 16-year-old girl named Jocelyn. She is brought into the hospital after taking a mix of drugs and alcohol, and begins to talk about the repeated sexual abuse she has suffered from her father, Dr. Leonard Metzler. Dr. Metzler just so happens to be a renowned psychiatrist who has made a name for himself treating troubled teens, and Jocelyn's accusations are the first anyone has heard of his heinous actions.

As Detective Olivia Benson and her partner, Detective Elliot Stabler, dig deeper into Jocelyn's claims, they discover that her father has indeed been using his position of power to get away with sexually assaulting his patients for years. The detectives are determined to put Dr. Metzler behind bars, but they need to gather enough evidence to prove his guilt. They also need to help Jocelyn, who is so traumatized by her ordeal that she has retreated into a world of her own.

Meanwhile, Assistant District Attorney Serena Southerlyn also has her work cut out for her. Dr. Metzler is a well-respected member of the community, and his colleagues and former patients are quick to rally around him. Serena faces an uphill battle as she tries to convince a jury that Jocelyn's accusations are true, and that Dr. Metzler is a predator who needs to be stopped.

As the investigation unfolds, the detectives and prosecutors grapple with their own personal demons. Detective Stabler in particular is struggling to deal with his own family issues, which only serve to intensify his determination to bring Dr. Metzler to justice. Meanwhile, Serena is finding it increasingly difficult to maintain her objectivity, given the emotional toll that the case is taking on her.

"Shrunk" is a tense, gripping episode that explores the devastating effects of sexual abuse on its victims. It also shines a light on the difficulties faced by law enforcement and prosecutors as they try to bring abusers to justice. With powerful performances from the cast, and a well-crafted script that keeps viewers guessing until the very end, this episode is a standout in the Law & Order series.
