The investigation into the burning death of a homeless teenager leads Detectives Stabler and Munch to an elite high school where they meet high school students Max Matarazzo (Jesse McCartney) and senior Alec Bernardi (Philip Ettinger), who confesses to the crime. Alec admits to the murder because he thought his sister was raped by the man, but in truth his sister and her friends made a pregnancy pact and willingly had sex to become pregnant. However, the case takes a strange twist when the ringleader of the pregnancy pact apparently commits suicide, after being harassed online by parties unknown who the detectives believe to be the mother of one of the girls (Debi Mazar).
