Law & Order: Special Victims Unit delivered a nail-biting midseason premiere that centered around the kidnapping of Olivia Benson’s (Mariska Hargitay) adopted son Noah.
While it seemed like a random act at first, it turns out the entire plan was orchestrated by Noah’s biological grandmother Sheila (Brooke Shields). Many fans saw this coming, but it still didn’t damage their enjoyment of the thrilling episode.
