SVU Season 24 Episode 4?

David Graziano is the new showrunner for "Law & Order: SVU," and he's pretty active with fans on his Instagram account. He replies to many fans' comments and gives insight into what's coming in the series. In an Instagram comment, he revealed that Kelli Giddish's last episode would be the ninth of Season 24, and now he's explaining why Carisi was absent in Episode 4.

"Sadly, even Manhattan's best ADA needs a day off," Graziano wrote in a recent Instagram comment. The showrunner was responding to a fan who was hoping to see Peter Scanvino in Episode 4, but they were ultimately let down. Another user asked if "SVU" fans would get a scene of Rollins and Carisi in bed together, to which Graziano replied, "soon." At the time of this publication, there is no suggestion that Scanavino is also leaving "SVU." Since we were promised a happy ending, it'll be interesting to see how the couple gets one with Rollins gone and Carisi still working as an ADA. We should get more answers on Scanavino's future in Episode 9 when Giddsh makes her series departure.
