Law & Order: SVU season 19 episode 6 spoilers: Rollins goes undercover!
This episode marks an opportunity to bring a few different things to the table, but one of the biggest ones is simply an opportunity to get Kelli Giddish a chance to shine in a way that she hasn’t so far this season. That isn’t meant to trivialize anything to date — it’s more to credit what is coming and the mission that she’s going to be taking on.
Law & Order: SVU season 19 episode 6 is entitled “Unintended Consequences,” and the full synopsis can be seen below courtesy of NBC:
“When a teenaged girl is found dead, Rollins (Kelli Giddish) goes undercover at a high-end rehab center where the victim was last seen alive. Meanwhile, Benson (Mariska Hargitay) tries to overcome her doubts about Sheila (guest star Brooke Shields). Also starring Ice T (Det. Odafin Tutuola), Raul Esparza (ADA Rafael Barba) and Peter Scanavino (Det. Sonny Carisi). Also guest starring Peter Scolari (Dr. Dennis Barkley), Annie Corley (Rosemary Taylor), Gus Birney (Kristi Martin), Christiane Noll (Sarah Curtis), Robert Eli (Glen Curtis) and Angela Oh (Katherine Lee.)”
Do you know how we know we’re going to get a great Rollins episode here? The answer is one word: Undercover. Anytime you can get some of these characters outside of their element you know that some good stuff is going to happen as a result of it in terms of material. As for whether or not this good stuff actually will be happening to Rollins, that’s probably unlikely. This is not the sort of show where we really get a chance to see many happy endings — bittersweet is mostly what you hope for when you watch an episode from start to finish.
As for the Benson storyline…
The biggest thing to be excited about here is mostly that you’re going to have a chance to see Mariska Hargitay working alongside Shields again. Of course, the two are not exactly going to be working together, since they seem to be on opposite sides of what could be an ugly custody battle. Is Sheila truly interested in having Noah in her life, or are there more-nefarious motives at the heart of what she is doing? This is a show that is meant to make you wonder the answer to this question in the weeks to come. There’s no projected end date to Shields’ arc, but this is surely going to get far more complicated before it ever starts to get easier.
