Can Benson Trust New SVU Detective Griff?

Detective Jake Griffin's arrival at the Special Victims Unit this season has sparked immediate intrigue and suspicion among Captain Olivia Benson and her colleagues. Initially, his past as a robbery cop led the team to question his true intentions – was he genuinely committed to aiding victims of sexual assault, or was he a mole for Chief of Detectives Kathryn Tynan?

As the season progresses into its latter half, Griffin is developing a sense of mentorship from Captain Benson. Actor Corey Cott notes that Griffin sees Benson as a guide, and the unfolding of their dynamic will depend on Benson's receptiveness. The current episode is poised to be a turning point, featuring a high-stakes case where Griffin's unwavering pursuit of a missing boy, alerted via a baby monitor frequency, will test his resolve and potentially reveal his deep-seated commitment to justice for victims.
