Preview of Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 12
The official logline of Law and Order: SVU season 26 episode 12 reads,
"When a high school principal busts a student for sexting, the SVU uncovers a sinister case of distribution concerning hundreds of underage students; Silva pleads for leniency for a suspect she believes is innocent."
In the promotional video, Benson and Fin are seen tackling a case regarding a child p**nographer. The culprit is in a holding cell, and Benson is heard saying, " This guy is a sc**bag," to which Carisi replies, "We have the chance to take down an entire ring of p***philes." This hints that the duo will have a conflict in the coming episode, and will struggle to find a balance in the case.
An interesting addition to next week's case is Tony Goldwyn's Nicholas Baxter who is seen interacting with Benson and Carisi. In an interview with TV Insider dated January 9, 2025, Carisi's actor Peter Scanavino talked about their upcoming dynamic. He said,
"It’s funny when you are meeting somebody for the first time, but clearly your characters have had conversations, so you’re trying to key into that. But he was a perfectly, totally lovely guy and really great actor. I’d obviously known Tony Goldwyn before, and it was just great to meet him on screen and off."
