‘Law & Order: SVU’ Ends With Tynan’s Shocking Move Against Benson
Chief Tynan suspends Benson immediately after her contempt arrest and orders her to surrender her gun and badge.
- On Thursday, April 30, Chief Tynan suspended Captain Olivia Benson after the captain was held in contempt of court and taken into custody, escalating their season-long conflict.

- Meanwhile, Griffin discovered a ledger with a payment notation and a missing gun in a storage unit, a development potentially complicating the department's internal investigation.
