‘SVU’s 600th Episode Is Officially Fixing One of the Series’ Biggest Mistakes

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit will reunite Olivia Benson and Elliot Stabler in its 600th episode, “Obedience”, as they revisit a conviction linked to one of Benson’s earliest cases. The story will examine the consequences of choices they made as young detectives, bringing back a long-running partnership that the article says fans have missed.

The episode airs on NBC on 12 November 2026 at 9 p.m. ET and streams on Peacock the following day. Christopher Meloni left the show as a regular before Season 13, returned as a guest in Season 22, and most recently appeared with Benson at a wake in the Season 27 premiere in September 2025; his character’s “Love you” prompted speculation about their relationship.
