New Appear Upward Constabulary & Corporation Svu “Heartfelt Passages” Recap & Review


The flavour 17 finale of Law & Order SVU, “Heartfelt Passages” brought tears of sadness and, at the end, tears of happiness. It was an first-class  - yet tragic - wrap upwards to the story of Sergeant Mike Dodds, who heroically lost his life inwards the trace of duty on his in conclusion twenty-four lx minutes menstruum alongside the SVU. This episode also marked the terminate of Warren Leight’s tenure equally showrunner.

Both Benson as well as Dodds brand a critical error which leads to a hostage province of affairs as well as to Dodds death. Benson takes Lisa Munson’s discussion that in that location are no guns inwards her house, as well as they acquire inwards a potential pulverization keg domestic violence province of affairs without verifying for themselves that Gary Munson was non armed. While both Benson as well as Dodds missed this critical step, it’s Benson, equally the senior officer, who must acquit the responsibleness for the error. Hopefully she has learned from this, as well as alongside the assist of Dr. Lindstrom, volition non allow what happened to hang over her for the residue of her life.

Benson's life – at to the lowest degree for at nowadays – volition proceed to receive got Captain Ed Tucker inwards it. In the concluding scene, Tucker gets on 1 articulatio genus to acquire to Noah’s grade as well as for a 2d I thought he was going to enquire Benson to get hitched alongside him. But no. (I suppose this number volition live left to the novel showrunner for flavour 18, Rick Eid.) Tucker did propose he as well as Benson caput to Paris – the metropolis of romance – hence perchance they volition come upwards dorsum alongside marriage plans. At to the lowest degree fans got to regard Benson found a buss on Tucker, giving us a glimmer of believable romance betwixt the two.

Other members of the squad also faced some choices here. Carisi has backed off his want to live an ADA for the fourth dimension being. Fin may live taking the sergeant’s examination but I don’t think Rollins had anything specific going on. Barba nonetheless must fence alongside a protective particular due to ongoing threats to his life. (As of this writing, I don’t know which of these actors are officially or contractually on board for flavour 18.)  Even Tucker is making a huge alter past times transferring from IAB to hostage negotiations. This activeness non exclusively tin assist inwards avoiding whatsoever conflict alongside his human relationship alongside Benson as well as her team, but also allows the grapheme to live used after inwards a operate that would live to a greater extent than supportive of the Special Victims Unit. This is a keen move.

It was no surprise to me that Dodds would non brand it out of this episode alive. If this was Star Trek, Andy Karl would receive got come upwards on the exhibit inwards a “red shirt.” He was e'er listed equally a invitee star, as well as nosotros all know how expendable invitee stars tin live (especially when they acquire other jobs). I enjoyed having Andy on SVU as well as am sorry to regard him leave, but happy that he has some other role.

Even though Brad Garrett has e'er creeped me out, he did a fine labor inwards the operate of Gary Munson. As Munson makes it out of the hostage province of affairs live as well as claims he did non shoot the gun, it’s possible this story could proceed at some betoken side past times side season. Had Munson non pulled the hammer dorsum on his gun, Dodds could nonetheless live alive; Munson may non receive got intended to shoot Dodds at the fourth dimension of the struggle but Munson was fully prepared to shoot him earlier that.

But the large scene stealer was Peter Gallagher, who lay forth an amazing functioning when explaining to Benson that his boy was encephalon dead. It seemed real existent as well as I can’t imagine anyone watching this scene NOT getting at to the lowest degree choked upwards watching it. This was in all probability some of the best acting we’ve seen on SVU inwards the past times few years as well as 1 of the best performances I’ve seen from Peter Gallagher. I assume alongside the expiry of Mike Dodds it’s non probable nosotros volition regard the Deputy Chief supply to SVU.

Lastly, this is the concluding episode from showrunner Warren Leight,  who has done a wonderful labor keeping the exhibit interesting as well as relevant. I cannot imagine the amount of piece of work that goes into each episode, non to call trying to give viewers a character exhibit within the confines of a express budget. I know I receive got non given every episode a glowing review but the fact that I am nonetheless watching the exhibit as well as spending the fourth dimension to review as well as recap it confirms that in that location is much that I DO similar most this show. It is obvious that Warren as well as his staff receive got lay their hearts as well as souls into every discussion as well as into every scene. I am real thankful for all his piece of work alongside Law & Order SVU as well as wishing him the best of luck inwards anything he does inwards the future. All fans of the exhibit – fifty-fifty if you lot concord or disagree alongside the direction he’s taken the exhibit – should give their heartfelt thank you lot to Warren for keeping Law & Order SVU live as well as thriving.
