SVU: Was she really kidnapped or was she a "Gone Girl"?

Episode Description from the Publisher

Detectives Terry Bruno and Jake Griffin think a man's story of an elaborate kidnapping is just a cover for the murder of his girlfriend. But when she turns up alive, rumors abound she staged the abduction "Gone Girl"-style. Captain Renee Curry and Sergeant Amanda Rollins arrest the ex-boyfriend who's been stalking her, but the complexities of the case make it hard for ADA Sonny Carisi to win at trial. Meanwhile, Captain Olivia Benson finds herself at loggerheads with new Chief Kathryn Tynan, who has a different view on what SVU should be doing and Benson's place in the NYPD. We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 27 episode 8 "Showdown." Our special guest is "The Glarer" Will Henry. This episode is inspired by the 2015 "Gone Girl" kidnapping.
