A Law and Order SVU rerun is planned for this Thursday, sending SVU season 20 back to repeats after a brief stint of new episodes.

Olivia Benson is taking another break, as NBC has decided to broadcast a Law & Order: SVU rerun this week instead of a new episode.

The network’s primetime schedule reveals that Thursday will be a second airing of the installment “Exile,” which originally aired on Oct. 25. The episode focuses on Dominick Carisi (Peter Scanavino), who tries to investigate an assault—only for his victim to vanish on him.

NBC did not give a reason for not showing a new Special Victims Unit this week, but it’s not usual for networks to explain when they go into reruns.

The news is likely frustrating for fans of the Dick Wolf show, though, because they’ve seen quite a few repeats recently. The last two weeks have been new, but before that, there was a rerun and a preemption. That means there’ve only been two new episodes in March.

The interesting news about this particular episode is that “Exile” features Sandrine Holt reprising her role as psychologist Lisa Abernathy. Holt is also the featured guest star in this week’s episode of Dick Wolf’s CBS crime drama, FBI. So Wolf fans can see her in two of his shows over a three-day span.

If you’re looking to simply get your SVU fix, though, you can catch up with the current season by using Hulu or NBC on Demand. Reruns of past seasons are also available on cable and syndication; check USA Network for their long list of broadcasts.
