Sidney Eckhouse sits in his living room watching basketball on TV with his daughter Emmy and wife Joan. Emmy tries to leave as Sidney begins to get upset over his team losing. He asks Emmy to sit back down; he'll bet her that they'll make a comeback, but Emmy doesn't want to bet. The doorbell rings and Joan heads to the door thinking it's their Chinese food being delivered. As Joan opens the door, she's startled to find a man in a ski mask who suddenly points a gun at her and fires! Later, the SVU squad arrives at the Eckhouse home to find Joan shot dead in the doorway and Sidney killed on the couch. Emmy was rushed to the ER in critical condition with a bullet in her head. Benson sorrowfully looks at the living room wall where the word "Queers" is spray-painted on it. "I've seen my share of hate crimes, but an execution of an entire family? That's extreme."
