However, even if it's pushed slightly, it seems likely that the episode will air towards the beginning of the season. and Chicago Fire.Īlthough the release date for the crossover is reportedly set for September 22, a source tells TVLine that scheduling issues could push the episode further into fall. In the past, SVU has crossed over with two of Dick Wolf's other series, Chicago P.D. This would be the first time the Law & Order franchise employs a three-way crossover for their current shows.

Of course, based on the promo, I should also be worried about what’s on the way for Benson in particular.A three-way Law & Order crossover may be coming to NBC this fall.Īccording to TVLine, the crossover will involve all three of NBC's Law & Order series - Law & Order, Law & Order: SVU, and Law & Order: Organized Crime - and is being considered to launch the new seasons of each show on Thursday, September 22.
Benson and Stabler making progress in the same crossover that had me flashing back to their classic interactions? Of course I’m hyped for what comes next! According to him, it just was “not the right moment,” and she didn’t contradict him.
Sure, SVU's "Bad Things" saw her brushing that interaction aside as a “bad time” for her and claimed that she knew he was just trying to make her feel safe, but his noncommittal reaction (other than to keep smiling at her) struck me more as letting her get away with it for the time being rather than agreeing with her about why he made a move when he did. Honestly, if not for the mention of Noah, that sequence could have been straight out of Seasons 1-12!Īll of this while they were back in sync and investigating, and it felt like Organized Crime had finally found a combination of what made old school Benson and Stabler so great without overlooking their more recent baggage or ignoring what happened the last time they saw each other and Stabler made a move. He went into Benson protective mode – which for past, present, and probably future Elliot Stabler means violent mode – and shoved Papa up against a shelf in prison, forcing Benson to step between them and stop him from crossing a line even more than he already had. In all seriousness, we then saw Stabler meeting Oscar Papa and doing what Benson probably expected after she kept him out of the BX9 situation earlier this season, back when it seemed like SVU and OC were not on the same page. Their dynamic of course hasn’t been the same since his return to launch the OC spinoff, however, due to the significant issue of him ghosting her for a decade, followed by the fiasco with The Letter. (I say that Benson still deserves a thorough apology for both!)
The two characters formed an iconic partnership over twelve years of SVU and were so close that some longtime fans have been rooting for romance since Season 1 back in 1999. Given that Benson and Stabler hadn’t teamed up for a case since the three-show crossover back in the fall, hopes were high… and the crossover delivered some old school Benson/Stabler that has me hyped for the upcoming finales. Although Christopher Meloni appeared in the last couple minutes of SVU's episode on May 11, it was the subsequent Organized Crime episode that really brought the two shows together to start the crossover with Mariska Hargitay in the mix. Law & Order: Organized Crime and Law & Order: SVU are ending their respective seasons with an unprecedented crossover event that not only spans across both shows, but across two weeks.
