Well, if the goal was to cut the cast to a smaller number, they had been around for the least amount of time, so they had the least in the way of seniority, but this move leaves SVU with just two detectives and no boss above Benson in Garland's place. And that is the point that leaves me considering that there could be closer ties with Organized Crime, similar to what has happened between other shows in Dick Wolf's TV universe. Could Law & Order: SVU and Law & Order: Organized Crime start sharing some characters?
