Odd couple

This one is a bit much. Yesterday I made sure when buying sodapop it was root beer with only 2% sugar content. We all have to read labels. But soda is a part of American culture whether the folks who wrote this SVU episode admit it or not.

The PR executive of a cola company is found drowned in a park. Later on video surfaces that shows said executive hot to trot and ready to get it on right there in Central Park. Lucy Owen's body shows that it was given a rather exotic quantity of mushrooms at a banquet earlier in the evening.

The verdict on Owen is mixed. Some regard her as a saint, some just good at her job, some as some kind of happy face put on a corporate monster.

In the end a rather odd pair of suspects are picked up, David Krumholtz a scientist and Amanda Fuller the screw-up heiress of the family who owned the cola company. What and how much culpability each has the crux of the episode.

There's also Rosemary Harris the grand dame of the cola company family who is one matriarch no one runs afoul of. She provides an interesting coda for the cola episode.
