Thursday’s Law & Order: SVU looks to tackle a particularly thorny case involving a serial rapist, forcing the detectives to work overtime piecing together a victim’s fragmented memories. Meanwhile, ADA Carisi grapples with the frustrating realization that he may be unable to prevent another attack.
“Tenfold” sees the SVU team facing a familiar, yet always challenging, scenario: a serial predator operating in the shadows. The detectives must rely on the victim’s fractured recollections to identify and apprehend the perpetrator before he strikes again. While the procedural elements are sure to be present, the episode is also expected to bring an emotional weight, examining the psychological toll these types of investigations take on the unit.
Adding to the usual pressures, Carisi finds himself in a uniquely difficult position. He suspects another crime is imminent, but lacks the necessary evidence to intervene. This sense of helplessness is likely to fuel Carisi’s determination, but also underscores the inherent limitations of the legal system. How he manages this situation might offer some insight into his evolving role within the SVU team.
Tune in to NBC this Thursday, November 14, at 9:00 PM for “Tenfold.”
