‘Law & Order: SVU’ season 16 spoilers: When will baby Noah become a factor again?

During the season 16 premiere of “Law & Order: SVU,” we saw an enormous story that raised the question of whether or not Olivia Benson was going to be able to properly care for Baby Noah moving forward.

So when is the next time the baby may play a big role in the story? Based on what we know right now, it could be the upcoming fourth episode of the show entitled “Holden’s Manifesto.” This episode will feature Peter Gallagher as an important guest-star, and also Benson trying to make sure that she can be both a proper mother and a Sergeant. Take a look at the synopsis below:

“New York City bike messenger Holden March (guest star John Karna) creates a video diary of his troubles with women. Talk soon escalates to action, and the SVU scrambles to find his manifesto before he commits another violent act. When Rollins (Kelli Giddish) and Amaro (Danny Pino) come face to face with Holden, they find out just how dangerous a desperate man can be. Meanwhile, as Benson (Mariska Hargitay) balances the responsibilities of motherhood and career, the new Deputy Chief of SVU (guest star Peter Gallagher) calls her leadership into question.”

Do we think that Benson is going to figure this out? Definitely, but one of the things that you got to remember here is that she’s going to make mistakes, and have some growing pains. She’s still a very new mother, and this is a big adjustment for her after being so career-focused for so long.
