What Happened in the fall Finales of These shows?

In Law & Order: Special Victims Unit's Season 26 fall finale, Captain Olivia Benson tried her best with Amanda Rollins to save Carisi after a hostage situation went haywire. In Law & Order Season 24's fall finale the squad worked together to solve the narcotics officer's murder. 

What’s New for them?

As for what’s coming up, Law & Order showrunner Rick Eid revealed in an interview with NBC, “There's still compelling, topical cases every week and ethical and moral dilemmas every week, but I think that we're trying, on certain episodes, to dig just a little bit deeper into who our people are and see how their personal lives intersect with their professional lives.”
