‘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 moving her to a 1PP oversight post, and said it wasn’t Benson’s choice, while Benson warned to 'stay out of my way.'
  • At an Albany police conference, a call about missing woman Nikki and suspicious boyfriend Greg sparked the case, leading investigators to track a smart ring to Coney Island where Nikki was found dazed.
  • In court, prosecutor Dan Olin highlighted Nikki’s failure to ID her attacker and errors in a partial print match, referencing Tynan’s remarks, while ADA Sonny Carisi warned Griffin’s report could be exploited.
  • The court returned a deadlocked verdict and a mistrial was declared, with the jury deadlocked and the judge declaring mistrial; ADA Sonny Carisi said he will retry the case while Quentin was remanded.
  • Internal morale frayed, with Detective Terry Bruno blaming himself while Chief Kathryn Tynan pushed borough-wide oversight, reshaping squad dynamics in Law & Order: SVU Season 27.
