Law & Order: SVU season 18, episode 13: First ‘Know It All’ details
As previously reported, the title for this episode airing on March 22 (yes, the hiatus suffering is real) is “Know It All,” and courtesy of the network, we’ve got a bit more of an understanding as to why that is.
Synopsis – “A man under investigation for rape and murder threatens to expose the secrets of those working the case.”
In typical SVU fashion, this isn’t a lot to go on, but given that these episodes tend to be fairly linear, it’s hard to present a whole lot more than this. The basic summation here is that this said man, who probably is the know-it-all, will look for revenge on those investigating him. Basically, it sounds like he’s going to take a knowledge-is-power approach and try to blackmail people. We’re not sure how committing a crime will help him potentially get off with other crimes, but sometimes, criminals don’t think these sort of things through. Even if he’s innocent of rape and murder, he could easily end up being guilty of something else.
While this hiatus is a long one given that we are in the middle of the season, the good news here is that from “Know It All” onward, you will probably get new installments just about every week for the remainder of the season. That should make the final weeks especially exciting, even if we don’t love the fact that it has to air against Empire for almost all of them. Luckily, we know that it can do it — it’s battled that competition before, and it can almost certainly do so again. (It’d be even MORE exciting if there was a renewal announcement somewhere in there. Just saying.)
If you do love all things produced by Dick Wolf, there is a chance tonight on NBC to watch a three-part crossover event featuring the premiere of Chicago Justice at the end of it. If you head over here, we’ve got an exclusive interview with executive producer Peter Jankowski all about it.
Update: This episode has been pushed back to Wednesday, March 19. Law & Order: SVU season 18, episode 13 is now “Genetics”.
