Tucker Returns! - S21 E12

Ed Tucker is retiring and Benson is worried to see him again. Did she make a mistake ending things? At the retirement party a former cop, Rachel (guest star Holly Robinson Peete) makes a scene before recording a video statement on her phone and killing herself. Carisi brings the video to Benson's attention who gets the squad investigating Rachel's former supervisors for rape. Kat introduces Benson to her former boss, Sgt. Ralphie Morris who points them in the direction of Gary Ward - Tucker's former partner and friend - before killing himself. Benson suspects that Tucker is hiding something only to discover that he has brain cancer. Did Tucker cover up a rape? After feeling guilty for believing his friend Ward, Tucker kills himself too. Dr. Lindtstrom makes appearances, noting the epidemic of cop suicides plaguing the NYPD. The police department realizes that it's important for cops to be able to seek help.
