Law & Order SVU has discovered the most important 2014 trend: "Of course s**t go down when it's a billion dollars on an elevator." NBC has announced that the show's "American Disgrace" episode will blend the Solange/Jay Z elevator scandal with Ray Rice's, with an extra BONUS splash of racist rants from Donald Sterling. The episode will star a fictional NBA player, who is accused of rape by a PR employee at his clothing line—in an elevator, naturally. See the drama unfold in the trailer for the episode, airing tonight at 9pm EST on NBC:
