A brief recap of Law and Order: SVU season 26, episode 19
In Law and Order: SVU season 26, episode 19, titled Play with Fire Part 2, the investigation into Detective Maria Recinos' murder intensifies. Captain Olivia Benson and her team uncover that Maria, a rookie officer inspired by Benson, was working undercover to expose a predator targeting undocumented migrant women.
Suspicion is cast on Father Alberto, a priest who is helping these women in confidence, but he is shot in a fight with Detective Paul Gomez. Benson's deduction and subsequent DNA findings from Maria's rape kit identify that Gomez himself is the one responsible for several rapes and murders, including Maria's.
More investigation reveals Gomez's attempts to intimidate Benson, including a situation involving her son, and his efforts to implicate others in his offenses. Testimonies from survivors solidify the case against Gomez, leading to his conviction. The episode concludes with Benson and Lieutenant Brady attending the victims' funerals, bringing closure to the case.
