'Law and Order: SVU' Season 17 Spoilers: Olivia Benson Caught In A Tight Spot
NBC's hit police-procedural drama TV series "Law and Order: SVU" Season 17 is airing this week with yet another intense and exciting brand new episode which will see Sgt. Olivia Benson herself getting caught in a life-threatening and tight situation. Will she make it out alive?
According to the report from Carter Matt, the upcoming episode called "Townhouse Incident" could be "the most harrowing" segment that fans will find the SVU team leader become involved with since the William Lewis saga.
The synopsis, which was shared over at The Futon Critic, briefly said that Benson will be "taken hostage when she tries to stop a violent home invasion."
However, the sneak peek, which was released by the network over at YouTube, reveals more terrifying details which will certainly keep the audience on the edges of their seats.
The video, which can be seen below, showed the NYPD officer inside a house which happens to be currently under invasion by a group of people consisting of two men and a woman. The trio are all holding weapons. Benson, with her back against the wall, appears to be terrified at the situation. But her fears are compounded when one of the hostage-takers gets her phone and finds a picture of her son. The man seemed to taunt the policewoman that if anything goes wrong, the person she loves most will definitely suffer the consequences.
The man, which happens to be the leader of the pack, prompts his cohort to squeeze out information from the homeowner. Benson managed to gather her composure and tried to negotiate terms with the captors. Her efforts, however, only earned her a punch straight into the face.
Being at the wrong place at the wrong time, plus the fact that Noah was being used by the criminals as leverage in the situation, what will Mariska Hargitay's beloved character do this time?
Find out how things unfold when "Law and Order: SVU" Season 17 airs this Wednesday, Jan. 13, at 9 p.m. on NBC.
