That said, this short clip from Law & Order: SVU’s return could be evidence enough that Olivia might not be right for the lead on this case, as she’s not operating with the most rational headspace.
Olivia has always been someone that lets her emotions cloud her better judgment, so perhaps the team is used to this type of energy by now, and will only try to reign her in when they feel it is necessary.
Olivia is understandably stressed about her son’s disappearance, so it’s completely understandable as to why she is pressing for the most extreme measures possible in order to find her kid.
