Sister Peg is abducted from her room at Saint Anne's Homeless Shelter by the self-proclaimed psychic Sebastian Ballentine and his wife Carlene. She is rescued and reveals that while she was captured, she learned that the Ballentine's baby was one that was kidnapped from someone in Canada. Thanks to her information, the police are able to track down the baby's father and give him back his son. (SVU: "Pure")

During an investigation into John Victor Bodine, Sister Peg agreed to take in Belinda Holt, an underage prostitute. After Bodine escapes prison, he tracked Belinda down and kidnapped her, assaulting Sister Peg in the process. She was hospitalized and survived. (SVU: "Underbelly")

Sister Peg then began assisting the homeless community. She helps Olivia and Elliot catch a killer who turns out to be the client of her shelter, only to be accidentally shot in a shooting spree carried out by the victim's daughter. Olivia tries to save her, but she ultimately dies. Her shooter, Jenna Fox, is killed by Stabler when he is forced to shoot her to stop her spree. (SVU: "Smoked")
