Betty Buckley Really Pulled A "Regina Giddens" On The Recent 'SVU' Episode, "Bend The Law!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

                           Someone on the writing staff must have been familiar with Lillian Hellman's play, "The Little Foxes."  Therein, Regina lets her husband suffer a heart attack just long enough for him not to be saved, but found alive, so she can acquire land and money he is withholding from her.

                              Regina's husband, Horace, was not despicable.  Lorraine Maxwell's (Buckley) hubby, played to a smirky supercilious froth by Tom Irwin, deserved what he got.  That Roger was a piece of work, living off his wife's money, and then going to gentleman's clubs where sex trafficking young underage girls is involved--and he is right in the thick of it.  Pig!

                                 Everything goes down on their seventh anniversary.  Roger prepares an elegant meal, but Lorraine is having none of it.  Suddenly, Roger begins choking, begging for help, but Lorraine stands there, shocked and powerless--at first.  Rallying, she feels to see if he has a pulse, then calls 911.  By the time someone arrives, he is dead.  Did she kill him?  I think so.

                                    Olivia (Hargitay) is like a dog with a bone.  In the final scene, where it is made clear what happened, and they have an "understanding," Olivia tells Lorraine if this comes back to haunt her, she will find out how heartless Olivia. can be.

                                          It will come back, if not this season, then the next.  Betty will eventually go down for this.

                                           Of course, I would never condone such in real life.  But Roger deserved what he got.

                                             And when was the last time you heard me write something interesting about 'SVU,' darlings??
