Article Summary

  • Law & Order: SVU previews S28E04 "Arcana," as a clairvoyant’s assault account sends Benson’s squad in unexpected directions.
  • Tonight’s SVU case forces Curry to set aside skepticism as the investigation uncovers a secret buried for generations.
  • Stephanie March returns as ADA Alexandra Cabot in Episode 9, marking her first Law & Order: SVU appearance since 2018.
  • Season 28 also builds toward SVU’s 600th episode, directed by Mariska Hargitay, with Christopher Meloni returning.

NBC and Showrunner Michele Fazekas' Mariska Hargitay-starring Law & Order: SVU is back tonight with a case involving a clairvoyant whose assault claims lead the team in some unexpected directions. But before we get to our updated preview for S28E04: "Arcana," a quick reminder that Stephanie March is returning as ADA Alexandra Cabot in the ninth episode. The episode will mark eight years since March's first appearance on the long-running series, April 2018's S19E19: "Sunk Cost Fallacy." Prior to that, March's Cabot last appeared in Law & Order: SVU as a recurring character in Season 13 (the first season without Christopher Meloni's Elliot Stabler). March's return comes during a season that will mark the milestone 600th episode (directed by Hargitay) and also feature the return of Meloni's Stabler.
