After a strong start to the new and long-awaited Season 5, Law & Order: Organized Crime fans are still reeling from the episode featuring Mariska Hargitay's Captain Olivia Benson. The second episode of the season, "Dante's Inferno," picks up after "Lost Highway," where Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) is hit by an 18-wheeler and rushed to the hospital.
