Detective
Amanda
Rollins
is
back
in
action—and
with
a
whole
new
title.

Law
&
Order:
Special
Victims
Unit
alum


Kelli
Giddish,
who

left
the
NBC
drama
in
2022,
makes
her
return
in
a
sneak
peek
at
the
show’s
Oct.
17
episode.

In
the
clip,
Giddish—who
is
now
working
as
a
sergeant
for
the
NYPD
Intelligence
Bureau—has
a
heartwarming
reunion
with
former
partner
Olivia
Benson
(Mariska
Hargitay).

“Sergeant!”
Benson
exclaims
before
giving
Rollins
a
giant
hug,
adding, “Your
first
city-wide
briefing
in
the
intelligence
division,
huh?”

After
being
introduced
to
Rollins’
new
partner,
played
by

John
Clarence
Stewart,
Benson
asks
her
longtime
friend
how
she’s
liking
her
new
gig
in
Intelligence.

“Don’t
take
this
the
wrong
way,”
Rollins
says, “but
I
love
it.
It’s
like
getting
to
eavesdrop
on
the
whole
world.
And
I
want
to
thank
you
for
putting
in
a
word
for
me
and
for
steering
me
in
the
right
direction.
I
missed
my
family
with
all
these
long
hours
and,
before
this,
I
missed
who
I
was
even
more.”
