How to watch the Law & Order: SVU Season 25 finale live online

Lives are put on the line in the Law & Order: SVU Season 25 finale. That includes the life of Olivia Benson.

The new episode is set to be a big one. We could see the legal side and the police side clash heavily as Carisi is pressured to close the case quickly. This is to help prevent public panic, but to be honest, I’d prefer the cops do their job instead of closing a case and getting the wrong person.

While we’re heading into the last episode of the season, this isn’t the last episode of Law & Order: SVU. The longest running primetime series continues next TV season, with Law & Order: SVU Season 26 premiering in the fall.

What to expect in the Law & Order: SVU Season 25 finale

The episode will see Benson and the team put their lives on the line. They need to catch up with an assailant who has a pattern to his crimes right now. The problem is those patterns threaten to escalate to murder, and that’s something the team is worried about happening.

Carisi is pressured to close the case. This is the best way to calm the public, right? Well, maybe getting the right person and making sure the people are safe would be the right way. Quality over speed!

Fin will need to deal with a suspect’s son throughout this case. Could we see the son put the lives of the team at risk? Will he send the team down a dangerous rabbit hole, or will he actually help?

Take a look at the promo and synopsis for the Law & Order: SVU Season 25 finale:

"The SVU searches for a pattern assailant before his crimes escalate to murder. Fin must contend with a suspect's aggrieved son. Carisi is pressured to close the case quickly to ease public concern."

Law & Order: SVU will stream on Peacock.
