A Crossover for the Ages: Chicago PD and Law & Order: SVU Unite
“In the criminal justice system, some killers are so depraved that it takes multiple police agencies to bring them to justice. This is one of those investigations.” The chilling intro sets the stage for an unforgettable crossover event, uniting the forces of Chicago Fire, Chicago PD, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit in a thrilling three-show extravaganza.
When Worlds Collide: Benson and Voight Investigate
SVU‘s Benson and Voight interview the sexual assault victim from Chicago Fire at the hospital, a nurse named Victoria who worked at Chicago Med. Tragically, she succumbs to her injuries before providing much information. With the city on high alert and tip lines ringing off the hook, Benson enlists Amaro and Fin to join her in Chicago to help with the investigation. Amidst the chaos, Nadia is left juggling her duties and planning Lindsay’s birthday party. A thorough sweep of the crime scene uncovers a bottle of green nail polish, a sinister signature left by the criminal. The connection between the New York and Chicago cases is undeniable.
A Sensitive Lead: Halstead’s Brother Enters the Picture
The case seems insurmountable, but a call from New York produces a new lead. Shockingly, the lead turns out to be Halstead’s brother Will, who was interviewed for one of the previous cases in New York. Recognizing the delicate nature of the situation, Benson seeks Voight’s approval before bringing Will in for questioning. When Benson subtly asks Jay to bring in his brother, he isn’t immediately suspicious until he hears the questions that Benson is asking. Will is willing to be an open book and cooperate with the investigation, but Jay is the one who is having none of it and pulls his brother out of the interrogation. Benson leaves this part of the case in Voight’s hands so she can run part of the investigation from New York, but not before asking him to go by the book so that Yates can’t get away with anything if this case eventually goes to trial.
Dr. Greg Yates: A Chilling Suspect Emerges
Meanwhile, a reliable witness comes forward saying that she may have had contact with the man the police are looking for, and Mouse is able to confirm that the car this man was using was also seen near the victim’s apartment. Burgess and Roman find the man they have been looking for, Dr. Greg Yates, and decide to bring him in no matter what. Yates is nothing but cooperative and creepy from the moment he steps into the interrogation room. The department has no cause to hold him. Will, now officially cleared of all suspicion, is actually able to provide insight into Yates, who was one of his professors in New York. Will is even able to place Yates with one of the victims before she disappeared. Before the team can process this revelation, Yates calls in to talk to Lindsay asking for a private meeting.
A Sinister Twist: Nadia’s Kidnapping
Yates isn’t stupid, and he subtly changes the plan so that Lindsay can be out of sight away from her team during the meet. He spouts on about “the law of unintended consequences,” after which CFD’s Chief Boden calls to say they found another body; Lindsay was just Yates’ alibi. The team misses Yates, not yet knowing that he has just made this case very personal by kidnapping Nadia.
