“…a lot like her friend, Loxoceles reclusa,” (points to image on wall) “the Brown Recluse…”

Which this spider most emphatically is not.

(Law and Order: SVU)

Oh my GOD! I watched a little farther into the show, and the person Olivia and Stabler are looking for is an arachnologist who “milks” spiders for research at a university. She goes looking for wild spiders, and they have an old lady at a church say that Janis started coming around after the “infestation.” Then, she says, “Six-eyed sand spiders!” Hahaha! Well, considering that Sicarius hahni A) lives in deserts in Africa, and B) has no proven fatalities to its “credit” and only two even suspected, a rectory in a New York City church is unlikely to ever have a single specimen, let alone an infestation sufficient to attract a researcher who milks venomous spiders. Even if one did hitch a ride, the environment would not be conducive to establishing a colony. Sand spiders are the ones that bury themselves like in the hilarious YT video where the guy does the voiceover of the spider. Bwahaha.

Well, let’s see if I can watch this until the end without rolling my eyes so far back in my head that they stick.
