Pretending to be Her Dead Twin Sister - Law & Order SVU 

Right. Because SVU is huge with the kindergarten crowd....

@@uwcb1 reruns are on during the day. It also gives parents language to teach children when it comes to fake police officers.

Look at the detectives' reactions when the kid asked them to show their badges. They were smiling like they were impressed.😄

They meant that the parents would teach their kids not to talk to strangers….. . Since this show does appeal to adults as well.:..

I never got taught that…..I have a loving foster family now

It's common sense. My parents taught me to not talk to strangers since I was three.

@@foolslayer9416 okey

@@foolslayer9416 Asking about the badges is something that is WELL beyond her years though.

Way to blame the victims.

@@Raison_d-etre how is that victim blaming?

Better question is personality wise how the hell did u not pick up that something is off. U can pretend but it’s hard to fight ur own personality

Well he probably knew she was dead if the sister was pretending and it was either be a single dad or have a hot wife. Easy choice.

@@comehonorface3259 yeah for a psychopath

I mean, if he got engaged to her through the matching organisation while barely knowing her, he probably wouldn't know her perfectly well. Additionally, she intentionally deceived him, and imagine the situation: You just had a baby, you're both stressed, your wife has a fallout with her sister and behaves a little weird afterward. Would you really immediately think "oh my God, that's her sister"?

The twin knew her sister better than the husband. She had chose to be the way she was. Does not mean she did not know how to be like the sister. but she did skate out of church with the bogus excuse.

What’s the point of being a twin if you can’t do the swap?

If I grew up still looking like my cousin ppl literally thought I was her daughter even my uncle when he first saw me she was carrying me in her arms I think and literally asked who's baby that was became more noticeable when I started wearing glasses though once hit teenage years I looked more like dad probably my genes trying to work out what I was going to look like like my eyes there were years they were blue other years green they finally settled down on blue green though at a distance they look blue or green but you really can't tell because of my glasses

Avoid writing, contacts, don't let her marry a Frenchman. You should be fine.

There was a set of twins in my high school that used to switch clothes midday so one could take the math class for the other (one twin was really good at math, the other wasn't) lol

@@beverlyarcher546 Punctuation can be your friend.

I would act the same way, after three years of her acting like her sister.

Denial is the first stage of grief

Why is it not the same anymore?

One of the recent episodes tho was pretty good when they brought back the psychopath kid.

@@aleenarobator5061 agree on that!! Wasn’t expecting that at all

Blacklist never gets old tho in my opinion. Just wish they would say who red really is already..I think he really is her dad. Or uncle .

Aleena I totally get your comment

The really cool thing about the character of Det. John Munch is that Richard Belzer played that character on several different TV series, even unrelated TV series. He was even on an episode of The X-Files.

@@artman2oo3 So in a funny way, aliens technically exist in the same world as Law & Order.

@@danthefan28 It’s great, isn’t it?!

I just wrote the same thing before I saw your comment, lol. I laughed so loud the neighbour came over to check up on me.

I felt that in my soul...😊😊😊friggin munch

I don't think he will make any appearances anywhere anymore...

Wouldn’t call it heartbreaking if he couldn’t even tell the difference XD he’ll be fine.

And abused psychologically and physically. She r*pe him multiple times, as he was not consenting.

​@@magnarcreed3801 I think deep down he very likely knew. It's hard not too. When you marry a twin, you already know the difference in the two

Years of practice.

Yeah, this was one of the most bizarre twists I've ever seen.

That's because it's an episode of fringe 😅

@@shevahauser1780 This episode aired in 2001. Fringe came out in 2008.

@@NijimaSan I was kidding. That's the same actor from fringe .

@@NijimaSan good job mansplaining something you didn't need to 🙄🙄 joke went right the hell over your head didn't it

My cousins are so identical that it isn't funny. I feel bad every time I address the wrong twin by the wrong name. But they are very different individuals though. One's outgoing, always surrounded by friends, has fun being in many extracurricular activities and, later on, outings. The other studies like mad, helps out in the house more, and has ambitions with finding work as soon as she can. When one of the twins finally graduated, the other stopped working so it would be her turn to finish school. Now their appearances swapped - since she's going back to school, she went back to her original hair color, changed to more school-appropriate clothes. The other, because she's now working, can color her hair and has co-employees to go out with. I keep forgetting which twin is which.

And later got revived to become the Titan Vanguard and castellan of the Tower.

Was also Colonel Browals (sp may be off) on Fringe series ... enjoyed that character.

@@macapovilla one of my favourite shows

And then was reincarnated into Papa legba in American horror story.

So y'all just skipping over Lance Reddick being in Chief of Police in Bosch?

Even as a minor side character, he's still giving an memorable performance. RIP lance

Wasnt she using the money she earned to buy another sister’s freedom?

@@r.rodriguez4991 not to mention pretended to be her niece's mother. That's gotta be all kind of fucked.

@@r.rodriguez4991 She didn't "steal" her sister's life, her sister was murdered and she was trying to avoid the same fate.

@@r.rodriguez4991 Once again, she didn't steal it.

@@r.rodriguez4991 Her sister was dead and she wanted to stay alive.

THANK YOU! She’d know how her sister acts with her husband when people are around but she’d be clueless about how they interact in private.

Especially in the beginning! After years I could see if maybe you forgot or thought she changed, but I'm the first year? Hell, if I didn't think twin swap, I'd be more likely to think possession or alien or SOMETHING of some sort than believe that was my wife if I were him lmao

He bought her from a catalogue to be his wife. If they didn't have a strong attachment, it's not hard to believe he'd be fooled. What's harder to believe is that the daughter didn't notice something off about her mom.

Truer words have not been spoken by a married man

Ummmm, maybe I'm confused? Older twin killed younger twin. No sacrificing for anyone, selfishness.

@@Marthitaandsunflowers no she didn't, a Romanian diplomat did but Irina was at the apartment looking for Ava and because they're identical twins he got the wrong twin.

@@mgfoster9197 ohhhhhhh. Now I get it!! Thx.

@@Marthitaandsunflowers Irina was murdered by a diplomat and once Ava realised what happend to her sister she decided to take on Irinas identity to protect herself and her family

She didn’t do that for them but herself…

Right lol

Same 😂

😭😭😭 oh come on stop pointing out our ancientness!

His Wife was basically a mail order bride they did not know each other deeply before get married while the twin sister knew her sister behavior and personality.

@@karlareyes1671 i can see the personality thing if he didn't care to get to know her but since they'd slept toghter I just assumed he'd know her body but I just might be over thinking it

@@marquesjohnson6359 Maybe he noticed, but most people wouldn't automatically jump to the conclusion that her twin took her life. It's such a bizarre notion that you'd have to already be paranoid or into conspiracy theories to think it up, and most people would make up different excuses in their heads about why their wife is acting differently. like chalking it up to postpartum or thinking their mind is playing tricks on them due to stress from a new baby, eventually they do it so much that they don't notice because that's the new normal. he probably chalked up the body changes to post partum as well and since she was close to her sister she knew how to behave like her in a believable manner until it became natural with time

​@@aisha6410That's true

By her twin none the less someone she thought she could trust

@@emilyberry3649 her twin did not kill her

Nothing just wait to here the boys crying in 2023 about their girls getting brutally beaten while screaming *She was jealous* although everyone knows why folks are about to get beat the F#CK UP BADLY 😂😂😂😂 Yall gon here about it, it's gonna be a BRUTAL ONE" Namaste 🙏

can't say the same about your granny

Mine too. Even though they won they still loss, the youngest sister was saved but Ava traumatized her brother in law and her niece by playinga facade ☹️

Why? What happened?

@@foolslayer9416 irena was killed by mobsters who wanted money from Ava via mistaken identity. For years Ava was saving up/stole money to rescue their little sister who was in the human trafficking ring.

@@kmelfina up.

@@kmelfina And then what happened?

Hahaha! That would've been me as the smallest

😂😂😂

Mili Avital ❤️ gorgeous

She actually played roles in 4 different SVU episodes. I think this was the second of her appearances.

It was, she played Marta in the pilot episode.

Yes, she was gorgeous.

Yes. Yes , it is.

Commander Zavala😂

Cheron from the John Wick universe himself.

Women always share their intimate and private details of their relationships. I can't imagine what identical twins share.

Sounds interesting. I think will check it out.

I need to search out that book.

Richard Belzer is 77, retired from acting and living in the south of France.

Cragen did with amaro recently in season 23 but on FaceTime with only Olivia 😊

@@richardvinsen2385 Aww that’s too bad I was really hoping he could appear as a guest to see Olivia as captain like what 😯😭😊

@@alexandraanderson3988 and Cragen actually had a scene with Elliot on Organized Crime.

Has the same mannerisms probably sounds the same, and why would he suspect anything was amiss

Or why was she not charged with s*xual abuse.

Excellent point! Ava was supposed to be the single one. But she was always "chasing men" so maybe, if her hips were widened from giving birth the ME would have assumed she'd given birth to put up for adoption babies. But good call on that one!

Your pelvic bone doesn’t break and widen, it keeps the same shape.

@@Boxofcare666 they can tell if someone gave birth by the hips.

LOL telling the writers of Law and Order they're amateurs and rolling your eyes. That's rich.

@@montrealfilmguy In this particular case they _were_ amateurs . . . eh?

@@danielvanr.8681 nobody cares but you. See all the other comments here.

Thank you for sharing that! As a writer, I think it is an interesting note. 🤷🏽‍♀️Even the talented writers of Law and Order can add more precision to their work.

@@montrealfilmguy but things like this is just lazy writing. Just like how Americans tend to just make up or combine different culture names instead of just googling it or asking someone.

its based on the story of marie hilley, look her up, she was absolutely diabolical

I was just about to comment & say that😂😭😄

Nah, most likely an American dentist who did work on both the victim and sister, as they were most likely in the states on US spousal visas at the time. Since the fall of USSR to circa. 2010, oral hygiene maintenance was terrible in most former USSR states, including Russia, and lapsed as a public health priority. I recall doing such work on a lot of clients originally from former USSR states who came here for dental work after immigration. And also, US (and Canadian as I was one) medical professions are required by law to keep and maintain records (min. 7 or 8 years worth on each patient/works/surgeries) and promptly hand them over (through proper legal channels/warrants) to law enforcement for investigative/identification purposes. The only thing openly shared between those countries are scientific studies and medical advances, but for individual patient records through international channels,... ugh... be ready for 6-18 month wait as your request for dental/medical records can be an overtly burdensome bureaucratic nightmare, and after your request, may or may not be granted, or no such records are found. Rather than just wait, just start from scratch in North America and do your own examinations rather than wait for dental record transfers from haphazardly maintained records over there if you're looking for anything post-1991 USSR.

When the Berlin wall fell, a dentist could tell if a certain German was from the former eastern block by simply checking their teeth. Any dental from the USSR was sloppy as heck

She almost got fired for it...

That’s the craziest story I’ve ever heard. Wow.

@@LadyBelladonnaStorm yeah, poisoning her kids, blowing all the money, killing her husband, nicking off, dying then coming back as her own twin sister . . .

hulu has every season

Only svu but not law and order

Which season and episode?

The only accent they get right on this show is Bay Ridge Italian

Hi do you know what episode us this

I believe it said so in the episode, yes. Don’t quote me on that though. I could be wrong.

@@DeathofSnoopy most of the cases on the shows are based on real life ones so prob

@@john4ever01 Not most. Almost all of them have a thing at the end or beginning that says the story was “completely fictional and doesn’t depict any person or actual event.” Only a select few say that they’re based on a true event as opposed to the above message. And even then, it says “partially based.”

@@DeathofSnoopy There are tons of episodes that have the disclaimer and yet are very similar to real life cases. They just change enough that they can say that
