Law & Order: SVU, “Granting Immunity” (Wednesday, April 8, 9/8c, NBC)

As if they don’t have enough to worry about, parents may be doubly concerned about their kids after tonight’s unsettling episode, which rips both from the headlines and the health journals. After naughty photos from a 15-year-old’s house party hit the ‘net, things go really viral when several teens featured in the filthy shots come down with a rapidly spreading strain of the measles. While Barba (Raul Esparza) tries to figure out how to proceed with the investigation and bust the student who posted the pics, the outbreak hits closer to home than Benson (Mariska Hargitay) ever expected, leading her to a group of mothers who prove to be a very different kind of sick.
