In an interview with DuJour, Tamara Tunie was asked which was the most memorable episode that she had done of “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,” and Tunie reached all the way back to an episode from 2006.
“One of my favorites was called ‘Blast’ and there was a young girl who was kidnapped. From the nosebleed in the van, I knew that she was pre-Leukemia and she needed to get to the hospital and it turned into a whole hostage situation at the bank. I got to use a gun and save the perpetrator from suicide by police by shooting him in the leg. That was a great episode.” In the episode, Dr. Warner discovers that the kidnapped girl has Leukemia and needs treatment, but when the kidnapper calls to make ransom demands while she’s telling the girl’s parents about her illness, Warner becomes entangled with the case in a way that she never has before.
“Blast” isn’t just Tunie’s favorite episode — it’s clear that the episode made a mark on fans. The installment features Tunie in a more prominent role than she normally had in the series, and it became one of her most memorable appearances on the show. In a thread in the r/SVU subreddit, a Redditor with a now-deleted account asked what people’s favorite Dr. Warner episodes were, and “Blast” came up plenty of times. Redditors u/Mw82207, u/BigBossG13, u/velvet-gloves, u/r3belheart, u/savkyrie, and u/Dr-Freckles all mentioned the episode as one of the best episodes — if not the best episode — for Dr. Warner.
