LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Season 15 Premiere: ‘Surrender Benson’ Teases

It’s always a tricky thing when a lead character is placed in serious (arguably grave) danger on television. Realistically, the danger is rarely as serious as the character thinks it is, because television viewers know that the actor/actress is signed on for more of the show.

So, I was very curious how LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT would play out their summer-long “Save Benson” (or #SaveBenson if you’re on Twitter) hiatus tease. At the end of last season, the perp of the week, Lewis, ambushed Olivia in her apartment. Logic dictated Olivia would survive whatever he put her through, but the question was how bad it would be. The promos and photos were absolutely terrifying; it would be bad to see any character like that, but Olivia Benson is someone SVU viewers have spent 14 seasons with. No matter what, it wouldn’t be pretty.

I don’t want to ruin the episode, but there are a few things I’d like to say about the hour before it airs (it’s the first part of a two-hour SVU block tonight on NBC), and then we can talk more specifics in tomorrow’s About Last Night, okay?
