Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime are ready to close out their seasons with a big crossover event! Find out what case is so big it requires both teams to work together to solve!

The last Law & Order: SVU had a subplot of Muncy and Churlish finding a man abandoned in a cell in the woods. Muncy was convinced this was the work of Elias Olsen, the perp that was released despite his obvious guilt earlier in the season. Muncy and Churlish managed to catch Olsen, and between the evidence and his attacking Muncy, he was going to jail.

The main plot had the squad baffled at a series of rapes of women with the same MO of the guy taking a selfie with them. Each woman had a dangerous ex, but they all had alibis. The team soon figured they were onto a dark scheme of someone hiring himself out to attack these women for their exes.

They found a suspect, who was Junior Saurez, the guy who had just been implicated in Law & Order: Organized Crime of doing crimes despite being in prison thanks to a corrupt guard. Benson met with Stabler as they figured they were working the same case on opposite ends.

This tied into Law & Order: Organized Crime, with Saurez admitting what he’d done, figuring he was already in prison. This also had Stabler facing off against Oscar Papa, the gang leader who’d threatened Benson. Jet found a website where people could hire killers, including nine neighbors paying to have another one killed.

Seeking help, Stabler turned to former SVU cop Amanda Rollins (Kelli Giddish), who was now pregnant with Carisi’s child. Things got complicated when that Shadowerk site put out a hit on a federal judge. The episode ended with Rollins joining Stabler and Benson in trying to crack the case.

This sets up the big crossover finale for both shows that promises some major drama.

The story begins on Law & Order: SVU as “All Pain Is One Malady” has Benson and Stabler reuniting to track the Shadowerk site and find out who’s behind it. Meanwhile, Fin and Bruno try to help a victim who’s been assaulted for a second time.

That sets up Law & Order: Organized Crime as “With Many Names” has the cops sidelined by the Feds wanting to take charge. That has Bell and Fin teaming up while Rollins tries to help a witness on the case and the promo shows Benson in serious danger.

Mixing these squads together on one big storyline promises to be a Law & Order event that will close out the seasons in grand style.

"SVU: In the search for a revenge-for-hire crime ring, Benson and Stabler combine forces on a case that has now spread globally. Fin and Bruno help a rape victim assaulted a second time. Jet’s plan to hack the dark web backfires and puts the team in danger."

"Organized Crime: As OCCB and SVU close in on a callous and desperate suspect, the U.S. Attorney benches Stabler and Benson; Bell and Fin must lead the team on a perilous task; Rollins (SVU vet Kelli Giddish) confronts a witness who refuses to cooperate."
