Victoria Logan (Law & Order: SVU)

Victoria Logan was an unseen villainess from "Mother", episode 5.03 of Law & Order: SVU (airdate October 7, 2003). She was introduced as the deceased mother of siblings Christina and Robert Logan, the latter of whom was believed to have attacked his therapist, Dr. Greta Heints.
The episode's progression revealed that Christina was Greta's true assailant, having done so under the belief that Greta was sexually abusing Robert during their sessions together. Christina first mentioned Victoria when she claimed that her mother died of cancer when Robert was seven. However, Olivia Benson's search of the Logan family found that Victoria was actually killed in a house fire, with Robert being found wandering the streets with no memory of what happened afterwards.
The episode's climax would also reveal Victoria's true relation to Robert: she was his grandmother, with Christina being Robert's mother rather than his sister. As Christina revealed, Victoria didn't approve of the boyfriend who eventually got her pregnant, with Victoria viciously beating her daughter before disowning her, sending her to live with relatives in Minnesota. Victoria additionally took Robert from Christina as soon as he was born, passing him off in New York as her own child. Victoria also began unleashing her abusive and misandristic treatment on her grandson, believing him inherently sinful due to having been born male.
As described by Greta and revealed during Robert's session with Dr. George Huang, Victoria was a religious fanatic, frequently waking Robert up in the middle of the night to pray for his sins and aggressively bathing him. The evil Victoria additionally beat Robert in his genitals and tied a string around them in an attempt to castrate him, out of a delusional belief that sex made men "bad". As for her death, it was ultimately revealed that Christina came back home and set the fire that killed her mother, doing so in order to save Robert from Victoria's abuse.
