Law & Order: SVU has pitted Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) and Chief Tynan (Noma Dumezweni) against one another all season. And when Benson is held in contempt of court — Hargitay’s husband, Peter Hermann returns as Trevor Langan! —  in the Thursday, April 30, episode, well, Tynan takes advantage of the situation. Warning: Spoilers for Law & Order: SVU Season 27 Episode 19 ahead!

The chief has used her history with Griffin (Corey Cott) and his father to get the newest SVU detective to start looking into Benson’s past cases. But he’s seen the good that his captain does, and he’s very reluctant to hand over the file he’s put together. “You’re wrong about this. You’re wrong about Benson, OK? Whatever chain of command or BS you’re hung up on, let it go,” he tries to get through to her. “You’re undermining a good cop. You’re letting your ego make decisions, yeah? And when you can’t get to her, you go after someone in her unit. Then you set me up to be the fall guy.” Tynan argues that she’s just being a boss and, as she sees it, “Benson’s only ever allied with herself.”
