How to Watch
Watch Law & Order: Special Victims Unit Thursdays on NBC and next day on Peacock.

Benson has worked with some seriously talented detectives throughout her tenure, but Rollins was a cut above the rest. As fans know, Rollins left the squad in Season 24 to become a criminology professor, but in SVU’s latest, Rollins revealed she is making some changes to her game plan. Meanwhile, Benson could take all the help she could get when a runaway bride case fell on her desk. Who better to assist the investigation than a Law & Order legend with nothing but time on her hands?

Instantly satiating viewers elated about Giddish’s guest appearance, the episode began with Rollins and her husband, Sonny Carisi (Peter Scanavino), chatting about her recent life development — Rollins left her teaching job at Fordham University. Rollins was offered a 10-year contract but turned it down. Aimless and anxious, Rollins visited Benson and, soon enough, was swept along on a whirlwind investigation that had her missing her SVU days.
