I just got around to watching last week’s SVU on Monday. I’m usually a day late with live TV waiting for episodes to hit Hulu or Xfinity On Demand, but sometimes I fall behind. I figured I should catch up before tonight’s new episode, and WOAH I’m glad I did. A lot of things happened and I have a lot of feelings about them.
- Another character-driven episode? That’s two in a row. I want an SVU case! Looks like tonight’s episode “Jersey Breakdown” may deliver.
- I couldn’t actually write a re-cap of this, because the conflict scene was so confusing! Like, no wonder Amaro fired his weapon. I absolutely couldn’t tell what happened.
- Why have Amaro call Munch but not put him on screen? Tease! If we’re going to insert a character without inserting an actor, why could we never do this with Stabler?
- NO CRAGEN NO why does everybody keep leaving?!
- It’s definitely going to be an adjustment with Benson in charge of the unit. Does this mean Amaro is getting a new partner?
- I was hoping that Amaro’s desk duty means that this week would feature Fin and Rollins– my current favorite duo, and the only in-tact set of partners. The preview seems to indicate that desk duty didn’t actually last that long.
- Did I mention I need more Fin and Rollins?

Bens is like whaaaaat? Me too, girl.
Welp, last week left me with a lot of emotions and a lot of questions. Bring on Jersey Breakdown!
