A brief recap of Law & Order: SVU season 26 episode 13
In Law & Order: SVU season 26 episode 13, the SVU investigates a violent assault on two teenagers in Washington Heights. Anna Beltran is r*ped, while Moses Sanchez is beaten. The victims do not recognize their attacker, but Moses provides a suspect description, leading to a police sketch.
However, an innocent man, Eddie Soto, is wrongly identified based on the sketch and beaten by angry residents of the neighborhood. Detective Joe Valesco, who is from the same neighborhood, discovers that his upstairs neighbor, Danny, is one of the vigilantes responsible for attacking Eddie. Danny is taken into custody, sparking protests from residents who do not have faith in the police.
Benson tasks Velasco with easing tensions and calming the residents. Velasco decides to get Danny's charges dropped and enlists his help in connecting with the residents. When another attempted assault occurs, the victim fights back, tearing the attacker’s shirt and spotting a zodiac tattoo. A massive citywide search ensues, with the community stepping in to help.
The real r*pist is eventually caught, and Danny prevents further violence by stopping the vigilantes from attacking the culprit. Velasco later learns that Danny has always dreamed of being a cop but was rejected from the academy. In good faith, Velasco helps Danny join the Auxiliary Police, giving him a new purpose in life.

The logline of Law & Order: SVU season 26 episode 14 reads:
"A Midwestern tourist is viciously attacked in Times Square; as the squad scours the area for clues, the victim takes the investigation into her own hands; a secret motive threatens to derail Carisi's case."
In the trailer of the upcoming episode, the SVU team is under pressure after a tourist is r*ped in Times Square. Carisi is heard saying, "It's a big case," while Benson and her colleagues work to solve it. Meanwhile, the media questions the police about the safety of Times Square after the incident.
Octavio Pisano, who plays Velasco, spoke to Collider this week about the dynamics between the SVU team. He said:
"I feel like this show's been going on so long that the lines are blurred, right? My relationship with Mariska and my relationship with Ice-T kind of resemble the relationship Velasco has with Benson and Fin. It's a lot more humorous in real life, but it’s great. I love working with them. It's true camaraderie that we bring into the scenes."
