~ Parker lashing out at Olivia Benson |
Sadie Parker (real name Cici Taylor) is the secondary antagonist of the Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Plastic".
She was portrayed by Alyssa Sutherland.
History[]
Backstory[]
At the age of 14, Ceci Taylor was engaged in an illicit relationship with Heath Barron, a plastic surgeon. Ceci was Barron's second victim; his first was Moira (another teenager), a surrogate for a female classmate of his in high school who rejected his advances. However, Barron killed Moira when she did not meet his standards, and mainly focused on Ceci.
When Ceci did not meet his standards, though, he performed surgical procedures on her; his way of molding the perfect woman for him. Ceci was very much in love with Barron, and went along with the procedures. Her name was changed to Sadie Parker, and during their relationship's progression, Sadie also turned villainous and became an accomplice to Barron's sexual assaults, as the couple would seek out various random women and drug them before the villainous couple raped them.
In "Plastic"[]
During one of their parties, Sadie and Barron start making out with their latest victim, 30-year-old Ava Purcell. Sadie was later shown consoling Ava when she did not feel well, telling Ava that her boyfriend was a doctor. Ava believes they are going to help her, but they instead overpower and rape her. The next morning, Ava reports the rape to the NYPD's Special Victims Unit. During her interview with SVU Detective Dominick Carisi Jr., Sadie claims that Ava was the aggressor, stating that she came on to her and Barron and used both of them. However, Carisi and Detective Fin Tutuola's search of Barron's home uncovers a log of various women the couple assaulted, as well as video of Barron with an unconscious Ava, with Sadie smiling.
The couple is arrested, and during her interrogation, Sadie once again denies hurting Ava, while also lashing out at Captain Olivia Benson and calling her as a prude. Sadie then goes on a talk show with Barron, and they vilify Ava as a liar who is just looking for attention. Unable to stand the media scrutiny, Ava drops the charges against them.
Determined to put Barron in prison, the SVU team investigates his Sadie, and eventually discover her true identity, and find a body behind a wall in Barron's old apartment.
Benson decides to question Sadie about the murder. Sadie again lashes out at Benson, accusing her of framing him because she disapproves of their lifestyle. When Benson addresses her by her real name and confronts her about what Barron did to her, she tries to deny it, but eventually realizes that Benson is right; Barron has been using and manipulating her since the moment they met.
Sadie confesses to everything, including to Barron killing Moira, in return for a plea bargain that leaves open the possibility of parole. Later on, Benson reunites her with her father, whom she ran away from as a teenager at Barron's instigation. She and her father share a tearful reunion, in which she apologizes for everything but the latter tells its okay.
She is then arrested for her role in the various sexual assaults, though given a lesser charge after testifying against Barron.
