PRE-FINALE EPISODES Mosh-pit gang rape, comatose victim in a rowboat, drug dealer with a vendetta -
the
end of SVU's season is serving up a nightmare smorgasbord for its fans.
On May 1, the aforementioned assault on a young woman “turns into a
difficult legal case that, in many ways, rests on the testimony of an
Army vet (Once Upon a Time's Eion Bailey) who has PTSD,” executive
producer Warren Leight previews. Next, the May 8 episode centers on
someone from Fin's past who's holding an extreme grudge. “In the teaser,
someone takes a shot at our guys and hits,” he says. “It's a desperate
race for 40 minutes to figure out who's doing it, how they're doing it,
how to get them.” Then, the season's penultimate outing on May 15 is “a
pure mystery” in which an unconscious woman in a rowboat washes ashore
next to the mayor's mansion in Manhattan. “It's a story about the double
lives that people lead,” Leight teases.
MAY 22 SEASON FINALE
Right now, even Leight isn't exactly sure how SVU will finish its 14th
season. What he does know: The finale is about a serial rapist/killer
“who's very lucky and has managed to escape... capture over and over. We
call him The Beast.” Olivia decides she's going to nab the perp once
and for all... but her fate ultimately rests in NBC's hands. “Because we
don't know yet if the show's coming back or not, we don't know how the
episode ends yet,” Leight says wryly.
