Law & Order: SVU season 19 episode 23: The ‘Remember Me’ saga begins

Law & Order: SVU season 19 episode 23 is coming onto NBC on Wednesday, May 23, and it goes without saying that this installment is important. It effectively kicks off a two-part finale event that airs over the course of the night. This is where not only some of the themes from the past season start to wrap up, but it also should also resonate with much of what is going on in the world at this given point in time.

In terms of episode titles, you can certainly see the modern-day relevancy in “Remember Me” and “Remember Me Too.” While the #MeToo movement hasn’t been featured too prominently on the show this season the latter title is a pretty overt nod to it; also, we imagine that this is something that is going to be touched on even more in the upcoming 20th season, when the readers have a little bit more time in order to further take on the subject in a worthy way.
