The Law and Order: Special victims Unit that followed, “Bubble Wrap,” centers around a sper-rich female real-estate developer in New York, Connie Parish (a marvelous villainess performance by Michelle Gomez), who’s in the middle of becoming the first woman developer to build a 100-story tower in New York. wRiters Denis Dunbar, Margaret Rose Lester and Nolan Dunbar essentially make her a female version of Donald Trump, not only in her megalomania and narcissism but the infatilizing relationship she has with her one and only child, a son named Martin Parish (Joseph Cross). Connie raised him as a single parent since his dad, Peter Parish (Robert Ferrior), sold her his share of the business and fled to an island with the kid’s nanny, with whim he was in love. Martin comes to the attention of the Special Victims Unit wish he rapes Mona Stewart (Alaina Surgener), a 22-year-old interior designer hired by th Parish company. At first she reports the rape and a witness corropbrates her story, but Connie’s money buys both their silences. Then Mona is found dead of respiratory illness, and it turns out Connie had beens piking the cocaine both she and Martin were using with an industrial chemical that has rendered Martin asthmatic – he’s constantly puffing on an inhaler as the cops try to question him. When the copos arrest Martinthey find him literally suckling from his mother – one of Peter’s motivationis for leaving the marriage was that he caught Connie breat-feelyng Martin when he was 12. He also realized that Connie was slowly poisoning him with the same industrial chemical with which she would later spike Marton’sand Mona’s coke supply. This was one of the weirdest SVU’s of all time, proof that the SVU writers are getting either more imaginative or just farther out in their plot lins now that they’ve already long since3 done the “easy” sex-crime stories.
