At the series' heart is Mariska Hargitay as Captain Olivia Benson, who is part of the team investigating sexually oriented crimes including rape, child abuse, domestic violence and human trafficking.

“All I will share is we [are] planning it in a big way,” SVU showrunner Michele Fazekas, told Give Me My Remote. "It’s going to be, potentially, the last centennial episode of this whole show, you know? So, we’ll do it right, and it’s planned out."
Before the 600th episode airs, there are stories to resolve from the previous season.
Child kidnapper and serial killer Richard Caine became the focus of SVU as the team tried to find enough evidence to arrest him once more. This led to a shoot out, where Detective Griffin was hit by Caine.
The season ended with the team around a recovering Griffin's hospital bedside, though it is unclear whether he will return to work.
