Law & Order: SVU Introduces Jake Griffin as Season 27 Embraces Serialized Stakes

A Peacock-only tag hints at the newcomer's ties to Chief Tynan, foreshadowing a longer mystery.

Overview

  • Corey Cott joins the cast as Detective Jake Griffin, a recruit with a personal link to Chief Kathryn Tynan.
  • Griffin’s assertive, “Batman” reputation and rule-bending approach unsettle Captain Olivia Benson’s team.
  • The episode centers on a members-only club case that probes consent, coercion, and exploitation without resolving every question.
  • Peacock’s alternate final scene, not shown on NBC’s broadcast, raises fresh doubts about Griffin’s allegiance.
  • Ongoing threads deepen continuity across the franchise, including a DEA approach to Detective Joe Velasco and a hook into Organized Crime.
