“Law & Order: SVU” returns this Thursday with “Accomplice Liability,” an episode that puts ADA Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr. in an unusual position. Stepping out from behind the prosecution’s table, Carisi finds himself a key witness in a case, a shift that will likely bring its own set of challenges and courtroom drama. While he deals with the unfamiliar territory of the witness stand, Captain Olivia Benson focuses her energy on supporting a rape survivor as she works through her trauma.
“Accomplice Liability” highlights two key aspects of “SVU”: the difficulties of the legal system and the ongoing support needed by survivors of sexual assault. Benson’s storyline underscores the show’s enduring commitment to portraying the emotional aftermath of these crimes and the importance of advocacy.
Catch “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” this Thursday at 9:00 PM EST on NBC.
