Fin Proves He ‘Always’ Has Captain Olivia Benson’s Back as New SVU Team Member Joins the Squad (Exclusive)

In Us Weekly’s exclusive clip from the new episode

of Law & Order: SVU, Odafin Tutuola (Ice-T) —

lovingly known as Fin — proves that he’s there

to protect his captain and good friend Olivia

Benson (Hargitay). Aimé Donna Kelly’s character, IAB Captain Renee Curry, is introduced to the SVU squad during this week’s installment, premiering on Thursday, February 22. And she brings donuts.

Titled “Zone Rouge,” this week’s episode follows a case involving a federal agent that “hits too close to home” for Captain Benson, while Curry attempts to “make amends” with Fin, per NBC’s official description.

Curry’s official entry into the SVU squad comes after a conversation with Benson during last week’s episode, which premiered on February 15.

Benson and Curry met for a drink after a case put Chief Tommy McGrath (Terry Serpico) on “modified duty.” Benson asked Curry whether she was up for the job as his replacement before offering a way out of IAB.

“I am short-staffed,” Benson told Curry, before welcoming her to the team. “And with SVU not having a Chief looking over our shoulder but an acting chief … we could get a lot done. Maybe even break some rules for a change.”
