‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 16 finale spoilers: More on Mariska Hargitay story

Law & Order: SVU logoWe are starting to get near the end of “Law & Order: SVU” season 16, and come May 20, the story will come to an end with a story entitled “Surrendering Noah.” Unfortunately, that means more trouble for Benson’s foster son, which is a similar sort of issue that we saw for the character in the premiere. Unfortunately for her, the stakes could reach another level mostly because of the child’s involvement in a current case that she is working.

We have for you the short synopsis for this episode below, but at the same time we should warn you that there is something else important that is left out of here: The fact that Mariska Hargitay’s character could also be scoring a promotion to Lieutenant in the near future. Take a look:

“Sgt. Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and ADA Barba (Raúl Esparza) take Johnny D (guest star Charles Halford) to trial for sex trafficking, rape, assault and kidnapping. But when Baby Noah’s adoption becomes entangled in the case, Benson fears for Noah’s future and his safety. In an intense courtroom showdown, the SVU will face a threat that could change the squad forever.”

Given that there has been a 17th season renewal issued for the show for quite a long time, that means that the writers have had plenty of time in order to craft the perfect ending for this season … and it could very well be a cliffhanger. We don’t believe that Noah is in serious danger, mostly because depriving Benson of that at this point in the show would be too cruel. However, there is still potential for a variety of other potentially-insane twists and turns.
