ParasitesEpisode: 02x19 (Season 02 Episode #19) Originally Aired: Apr. 27, 2001 Plot: When the remains of a young woman are found buried in an apartment courtyard with a collar and leash, Detectives Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Stabler (Christopher Meloni) determine that the dead woman is Ava Parulis, a Romanian immigrant who was brought to the United States for an arranged marriage. They discover from Ava's estranged twin, Irina (guest star Mili Avital, "Arabian Nights"), that the dead woman had left her abusive husband, and made a habit of taking advantage of the riches of wealthy suitors. But when it becomes apparent that Ava may be impersonating Irina, the twins' relationships with the matchmaker who brought them to the United States (guest star Michelle Pawk), as well as with a Romanian diplomat (guest star Victor Steinbach), and the former abusive husband, may lead to the truth behind the identity crisis and the motive for murder. Dann Florek, Richard Belzer, Ice-T and Stephanie March also star. |
