While the Wheatley storyline is front and center during the crossover, things involving Congressman Killbride ( Ron Cephas Jones ) and Lieutenant William Brewster (Guillermo Díaz) will pick up again in the new year, when the series returns in January. I didn’t see that coming.’ It's that type of episode,” Truitt teases, joking that everyone should settle in with a glass of spiked eggnog to enjoy this two-parter. But people are going to be like, ‘Oh, OK. “It’s hard for me to even talk about, because I don’t want to give anything away.

And what follows will be a surprise to fans. In the Organized Crime episode, written by Zachary Reiter and Rick Marin, Olivia Benson ( Mariska Hargitay ) and the task force come to Stabler’s aid after his son, Eli (Nicky Torchia), goes missing while Wheatley considers his future. “Bell is definitely not confident in that,” Truitt teases. And of course there’s some worry over Angela’s credibility as a witness.

In the meantime, the trial is her main focus, especially since she spent time early on convincing Wheatley’s ex-wife, Angela (Tamara Taylor), to take the stand, despite his attempt to kill her at the end of Organized Crime's first season.

Then the whole Killbride is another and there’s Brewster.” Her having a newborn and a wife is another. The Wheatley family and Stabler’s mental health is another ball. She's very concerned about that,” Truitt says of Bell and where she’s at at this point in the season, noting that everything she’s gone through recently. “She’s thinking about how much that verdict and that outcome will take a toll on his mental health. After all the other charges against Wheatley were dropped, this is the only chance they have to hold him accountable for what he did and keep him behind bars. Not only that, but everyone - Bell especially – is concerned how the outcome of the trial will affect Elliot Stabler ( Christopher Meloni ). But there’s tension among the unit when they realize former ADA Rafael Barba (Raul Esparza) is defending the crime lord. In the SVU episode, written by Julie Martin and Warren Leight (with a teleplay by Brendan Feeney, Monet Hurst-Mendoza and Candice Sanchez McFarlane), Richard Wheatley ( Dylan McDermott ) is on trial for Kathy Stabler’s murder.
