We knew Kelli Giddish would appear in at least one episode of Law & Order: SVU season 26. Now it's time for that appearance, seeing the new role she's in.

Are you ready to see more of Kelli Giddish’s Amanda Rollins in Law & Order: SVU season 26? Of course you are! Let’s get ready for the new episode.

Olivia Benson is always happy to work with other agencies if it means protecting innocent people. It’s even better when she’s working with people she’s come to know and respect. So, it’s not surprising to find out that she’s ready to work with Rollins and her new team.

Where is Amanda Rollins in Law & Order: SVU season 26, episode 3?

Rollins comes into the story as Benson and her team deal with a home invasion. This is more than your normal home invasion and sexual assault. There’s a bigger conspiracy going on, and it involves some international criminals.

This brings Rollins into the story because it focuses on the area of her work she’s moved into. At the end of Law & Order: SVU season 25, Benson told Rollins that she needed to figure out a new career path and not use SVU as her crutch. Well, she’s done just that, and she’s working with the New York Intelligence office.

She and her team have been tracking these international criminals. With the two teams tracking the same people, it’s best that they work together. They are stronger with the numbers, since they then have the ability to “Divide and Conquer,” as the name of the episode is.

It will hopefully mean that we get to see more of Carisi and Rollins’ personal life in the new episode. Rollins is putting herself in a much more dangerous career, but how does he feel about this? What’s his home life like? Carisi is a progressive man, so I’d like to see how supportive he is of Rollins, even if he is scared for her at times.

Check out the promo and synopsis for Law & Order: SVU season 26, episode 3:

"A couple's dinner party ends with a violent home invasion and assault by masked men; Rollins suspects the crime is linked to her Intelligence investigation of an international gang of thieves."

Law & Order: SVU airs on Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC. Catch up the following day on Peacock.
