Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, continues its epic twenty-fifth season. In “Prima Nocta,” airing on NBC on Thursday May 2, a distressed bride reaches out to the SVU for help on her wedding day. With tensions running high, the SVU team, including Detective Amanda Rollins, springs into action to assist the bride. Even on her day off, Rollins steps up to lend her expertise, showcasing the team’s dedication and sense of duty.
The title “Prima Nocta” hints at a medieval legal right that allowed powerful feudal figures to have sexual relations with any female person on her wedding night, regardless of consent. This grim premise suggests that the episode will delve into a case involving a potential crime on a bride’s special night.
The show, created by Dick Wolf, is known for its gripping storylines and its focus on the Special Victims Unit of the police department in New York City’s fictitious 16th precinct.
