‘Law and Order: SVU’ Premiere Recap: Season 24, Episode 1 - TVLine

— as well as Law & Order‘s Cosgrove and Shaw and Organized Crime‘s Stabler and Bell — to a ring of very bad people doing very bad things.

The girl Cosgrove found at the pimp’s house was named Nicole, and she is able to identify Sirenko as the man who chased after Ava the day she was killed.

So Stabler, Benson, Cosgrove and their co-workers raid Sirenko’s house… only to discover that he’s gotten away and left bomb-making supplies in his garage!

El is so broken up about it, and so frustrated over losing Sirenko, that he nearly tears apart a city official who storms in and criticizes the team for still not knowing where the bomb is.

But Liv holds him back, and eventually they realize that Sirenko is planning to blow up a NATO event being held at a posh hotel in Manhattan.

But she orders him and Cosgrove to get outta there, and they do — only to spot Sirenko evacuating with the rest of the crowd?

And Cosgrove has just put his hands on the man when the bomb goes off, knocking both Frank and Shaw to the ground… and letting Sirenko slip away!

After Rollins spots Sirenko, he grabs a hostage and ducks into a clothing store.

But when he tries to get away out the back, Stabler knocks him into next week and then nearly shoots him before Cosgrove steps in, warning Stabler to “Ease down.” As Sirenko is loaded into a cruiser, Frank and Elliot thank each other for pulling the other back from some highly problematic use of police force.
