Law & Order: SVU season 23 episode 8 spoilers: A Carisi spotlight

Based on all early indications, Law & Order: SVU season 23 episode 8 is going to be one that centers heavily around Sonny Carisi. “Nightmares in Drill City” is the title here, and it’s going to be an example of Peter Scanavino’s character bringing a case to Benson’s team. Typically, you see a police case eventually sent over to the DA’s Office for prosecution; this installment is going to play around with the order somewhat, but for a particularly good reason.

Carisi is a rare character, a prosecutor with extensive knowledge of what it’s like to be a part of the unit. Olivia and the rest of his colleagues taught him a great deal; it’s enabled him to know when cases are in their jurisdiction.

For a few more details here, be sure to check out the full SVU season 23 episode 8 synopsis below:

11/11/2021 (09:00PM – 10:00PM) (Thursday) : Carisi asks the SVU for help with a murder investigation when one of the witnesses shows signs of abuse. TV-14

There’s one other thing that we’d warn you about entering this episode: A hiatus is likely coming soon. NBC is currently listing a repeat for November 18, and it’s a sure thing that the show is going to be off the air for November 25. Early December is the soonest you can expect the show back, so consider episode 8 an end to one chapter of this season. Given that Law & Order: Organized Crime is specifically being built in eight-episode blocks, the schedule for it at least should reflect. Because SVU’s storytelling is a little more episodic, it’s probably fine to follow the lead of the spin-off here.

What do you think is going to happen over the course of Law & Order: SVU season 23 episode 8?
