The only way I can see Virginia Madsen being in more than one episodes is if Amanda’s sister dies when she and her Mother come to visit Amanda. Otherwise, how can Amanda trust her Mother at all? With anything? Especially her baby? Since this is Warren Leight’s last season(and maybe the last season of SVU), I guess JUMPING THE SHARK doesn’t matter. Episodes can be as preposterous as they want to be. if Amanda’s brain is going on shutdown when her sister and mom visit, and she doesn’t have her sister arrested immediately(there is a warrant out for her arrest) this show may become unwatchable in a hurry. Especially since the only reason I’m watching it now is for Kelli Giddish.

I’m wondering when they will have the episode with Rollins’s mother and sister. I thought that would be the episode that would get Kelli Giddish off the show for a few weeks to have her baby, but Kelli may have her baby before the episode is made. There will be a lot of pressure on SVU this season. There will be a lot more episodes of EMPIRE this season, and SVU didn’t do well against EMPIRE. Criminal Minds is also a problem for SVU. if the show doesn’t finish in the TV GUIDE TOP 50, will NBC cancel it? Can they afford to cancel it? Warren Leight is leaving after this season, and everyone(including Mariska) will be looking for more money. It should be interesting.
