Season 20, Episode 3: "Zero Tolerance"

SVU has really leaned into the "ripped from the headlines" stories over the years, and one episode from season 20 managed to still pull at our heartstrings and bring current issues to primetime. "Zero Tolerance" does both of those things as it tackles the issue of immigrants, asylum, and safety of children after being separated from their parents. In the episode, a young girl who is taken from her mother at the US-Mexico border is discovered in a child sex trafficking ring. Benson does everything possible to reunite the two and take down anyone who stands in her way.
