She already had her tragedy of the season, so even though I’m sad that the time is running out before Rollins is gone, I’m less nervous about how it will happen. (She decided to leave after nearly dying due to a gunshot wound in the field, although the actress is game to return.) There are pretty much endless possibilities at this point, but I feel comfortable ruling out Rollins leaving due to death or a terrible tragedy. While I could see her deciding to step back from active duty police work for the sake of her daughters, that would be similar to how SVU wrote Kat out at the beginning of Season 23. There is no news that Peter Scanavino is going anywhere. I’m not quite sure what that choice would be, as it ideally would be one that wouldn’t break Carisi’s heart in the process. In fact, this was such a tragic and traumatic twist for Rollins that I’m feeling better about her making a choice for herself that results in her leaving Special Victims. Her death after this would sabotage the storyline, and I don't think fans of the character will need any more reasons to be upset with the show regarding Giddish's departure. I feel like we can rule out a death by virtue of her getting this hugely dramatic twist and then surviving. Well, I can’t imagine that SVU would start out Rollins’ last season by almost killing her off, and then going on to actually kill her off and/or deal her another heavy blow soon after. So, why does such a traumatic twist make me feel better about her future? Rollins had a very near-death experience, but survived. Luckily, she was alive and – while not exactly well – surrounded by flowers, balloons, and a very worried assistant district attorney who looked immensely relieved to see her awake. Rollins did everything she could to protect young Nicole, and was shot in the torso for her trouble. Everything went wrong when she and another cop went outside to drive the girl back to the city, and several shooters emerged out of nowhere. The episode became so violent and upsetting for Rollins in the third hour of the crossover event, when she seemed to have an easy job: watching over a victim of sex trafficking while in the safe house. Little is confirmed about how Rollins will be written out other than that it’s expected in the first half of Season 24, but after the violent and upsetting premiere, I actually feel a lot less nervous about her future. Although the crossover is a very big deal for the franchise, the biggest news of the summer was arguably more about the upcoming departure of Kelli Giddish as Amanda Rollins. So they evacuate the building and race against time to find the device before it goes off.The shows of NBC’s Law & Order franchise returned with their first-ever three-part crossover that brought together characters from the original, Organized Crime, and of course Special Victims Unit. But Liv holds him back, and eventually they realize that Sirenko is planning to blow up a NATO event being held at a posh hotel in Manhattan. “He was just a kid,” he tells Slootmaekers.Įl is so broken up about it, and so frustrated over losing Sirenko, that he nearly tears apart a city official who storms in and criticizes the team for still not knowing where the bomb is. The young man dies as Stabler is imploring him to stay with him. The baddie gets away, but not before shooting Vince (who, have I mentioned, has a baby face and long hair like Eli?) multiple times.
Stabler winds up in a gunfight with Sirenko. “Call your boss,” Liv tells an NYC official, “and shut the city down now.” Meanwhile, Elliot uses his CI, Vince, to contact Sirenko and draw him out.Īnd he’s successful! Except Sirenko makes the CI go into the basement of an abandoned building where a new foundation is being poured: As soon as Elliot hears that, via the CI’s hidden camera, he gives the word for the police to rush in.
But the device is gone with Sirenko, and they don’t know where he’s headed. And from what’s there, they infer that the bomb is an improvised explosive device - and a big one - intended to cause a lot of damage. They’re stymied Sirenko isn’t into domestic terrorism. So Stabler, Benson, Cosgrove and their co-workers raid Sirenko’s house… only to discover that he’s gotten away and left bomb-making supplies in his garage. The girl Cosgrove found at the pimp’s house was named Nicole, and she is able to identify Sirenko as the man who chased after Ava the day she was killed.
And now that you’re all caught up, on to SVU!
