Keli Giddish showed off her acting chops once again, further deepening the character of Rollins. I only hope she doesn't fall off the wagon again. But watching Giddish struggle with her demons certainly makes for great TV.
"Kelli Giddish gave an exceptional, impassioned performance which brought Rollins inner struggle to life, and this is probably her best and most realistic performance on SVU."

Rollins' struggle to keep her emotions locked down still comes across, however, thanks to a subtly powerful performance from Giddish.

Her flinch and grimace speaks volumes about both just how uncomfortable things like that are for women and specifically for her at that moment.
