Detective Olivia Benson:
I never expected to see Katherina Ponomarenko in the squad room again. To know that her mother never really believed that her father raped her is astonishing. When I started to call her Katherina she stopped me and told me it was Kathy now. I was shocked that she would change her name, but then again it was probably because her mom always called her Katherina.
When she asked if I would go down to Las Vegas with her and Maureen, I was elated. I couldn't believe it. Yet again, she was a girl of many surprises. She had loved to dance when her father raped her and she was still dancing to this day. It was a welcome sight when she and Maureen walked into the Squad Room. Cap gave me the time off for the Competition and any other time that would be spent down there.
If we had known what was going to happen, I don't think Elliot would have allowed Maureen to go, let alone Kathy. But at least I was with them to make sure they couldn't get into any trouble. But then again I was also there to see if the Las Vegas Police Department wanted a Special Victims Unit.
If this was going to go off without any incidents, we were going to have to make sure nobody knew what was going on. Kathy's father had just been let out of prison on good behavior.
