In a recent episode of Law & Order: SVU, Ice-T's character, Odafin Tutuola, affectionately known as Fin, demonstrates his loyalty to his captain and close friend, Olivia Benson, played by Mariska Hargitay. The episode introduces Aimé Donna Kelly's character, IAB Captain Renee Curry, to the SVU squad, with a humorous exchange involving donuts.
Fin expresses his skepticism about Curry's transfer to SVU and his reluctance to befriend someone from Internal Affairs. However, he makes it clear that his priority is always protecting Benson. The episode, titled 'Zone Rouge,' delves into a case that hits close to home for Captain Benson, while Curry seeks to mend fences with Fin.
Curry's transition to the SVU squad follows a conversation with Benson in a previous episode, where Benson offers her a position as Chief to replace Chief Tommy McGrath. Benson emphasizes the potential for greater efficiency without a Chief overseeing their actions, hinting at a willingness to bend the rules for the greater good.
Law & Order: SVU is currently in its landmark 25th season, showcasing a new dimension to Benson's character. Hargitay hinted at a Taylor Swift-inspired era for Benson in the current season, drawing parallels to Swift's 'Lover' album.
While Taylor Swift may not be making a cameo on the show, fans can anticipate further developments in Benson's storyline as the season progresses. Law & Order: SVU airs on NBC on Thursdays at 9 p.m. ET, offering viewers a compelling blend of drama and camaraderie among the SVU team.
