Story Preview and What Happened Before
The official plot description for Season 27, Episode 10, “Corrosive,” states: “An attempt on a respected judge’s life is connected to an anonymous video posted to the SVU tip line; Rollins tries to help a victim come to terms with their abuse”. This suggests the SVU squad will be investigating a serious threat to a member of the judiciary while also dealing with a sensitive personal case.
This episode follows directly after the intense two-part crossover event that began on January 8, 2026. The crossover started with Law & Order Season 25, Episode 9, titled “Snowflakes,” and concluded with SVU Season 27, Episode 9, titled “Purity”. That story involved Lieutenant Jessica Brady and the 27th Precinct teaming up with Captain Olivia Benson and the SVU to investigate a murder that led them to a human trafficking ring and a shady eugenics program. During a raid, Detective Bruno was injured.
“We’re thrilled to have Gwen Munch return to her true love,” former showrunner Neal Baer once said about bringing back a beloved character, highlighting the show’s history of meaningful returns. This season has already featured several returns, with former cast members like Dean Winters, BD Wong, and Dann Florek making guest appearances.
