‘Law & Order: SVU’ Fall Finale Ends With Benson’s Future on Squad Uncertain

Chief Kathryn Tynan criticizes Captain Olivia Benson's supervisory approach after prosecutorial errors and a press conference contribute to a mistrial in a missing-woman case.

  • Recently, Chief Kathryn Tynan challenged Captain Olivia Benson’s leadership, reiterated an offer to move her to a 1PP oversight post, and told her it wasn’t Benson’s decision to make.
  • At a police conference in Albany, a call about missing woman Nikki and Greg’s suspicious account launched the investigation, which later tracked a smart ring to Coney Island where Nikki was found dazed.
  • In court, prosecutor Dan Olin highlighted Nikki’s inability to identify her attacker and errors in a partial print match, referencing Tynan’s remarks, while ADA Carisi warned Griffin’s report would be exploited.
  • The court returned a deadlocked verdict and a mistrial was declared, with the jury deadlocked and the judge declaring a mistrial; Quentin was remanded, and ADA Sonny Carisi said he will retry the case.
  • Internal morale frayed as Detective Terry Bruno blamed himself, while Chief Kathryn Tynan’s push for 1PP oversight reshaped dynamics in Law & Order: SVU Season 27.
