Law & Order: SVU season 18 episode 13 promo hints at ‘Genes’ story
As the promo indicates, a man is going to try and profess that he is not responsible for his crime of raping a woman, stating that he was “born this way” and there was nothing he could do about it. You can argue that either he’s trying to conjure up some sort of convenient excuse for himself, knowing that he’s obviously guilty and the evidence points to him, or he legitimately thinks that. If it’s the latter, that is a little more dangerous for the SVU team to take on. Still, they have a powerful, concise argument: Nobody gets away with something just because they claim they’re genetically predisposed for it. You are ultimately in control of your own actions.
In true NBC fashion, the preview was short, but hopefully this is still enough to give you a very good indication that this is a story that you want to watch live. Who knows? Maybe the series will be renewed for a season 19 by the time this rolls around. We certainly do think that this is something we’d like to see happen.
On thing that we do want to point out here is that there has been a change in episode for the series. Previously, the plan for NBC was to air the episode entitled “Know It All” on March 22. However, at some point along the way the network decided to swap things around. Scheduling switches is one of the major themes behind-the-scenes for season 18; we don’t think we have to tell you at this point about some of the drama surrounding “Unstoppable,” the controversial episode that may or may not air this season after being scheduled originally for the fall. There’s still plenty of time this season for further schedule swaps.
