Here is the promo for next week’s episode of SVU, the season 14 finale, “Her Negotiation.”

Question: Do you have any spoilers for Law & Order: SVU? There’s loads of rumors going around that Olivia might die in the finale. —Kayley
Ausiello: OK, so… apparently Mariska Hargitay has not yet inked a deal to return next season, despite my earlier assertion to the contrary. (In my defense, this is the only time I’ve ever been wrong about anything ever in the history of everything.) So, that little development, coupled with Kelli Giddish’s promise that the May 22 finale is “insane,” makes me wonder if the rumors might be true. “I cannot believe they ended it this way,” Giddish adds. ”I gasped, myself, when I finished reading it. The fans are going to go nuts. It’s jarring and emotional, because so often our detectives never, ever let the perp get the upper hand, and that happens in this episode.” The episode opens with the detectives enjoying “a day off,” elaborates co-star Danny Pino. “It’s a very unusual way to go into an episode, where we’re all relaxing, doing our own things. And then it does this slow descent into a very dark place. It’s probably one of our darkest. And by the end of it… I mean, I really don’t know how we’re going to get out of it. I feel like the writers have really painted themselves into a corner.” As to whether Benson makes it out alive, all I can tell you is what Warren Leight tells TVLine: that the finale is “a struggle for survival between Benson and [a perp nicknamed] the Beast… I guess it can go one of three ways, you know?” Not exactly comforting, is it?

Tune in tonight at 9/8c on your local NBC station to catch Danny in all new episode of SVU, “Brief Interlude.” Check back after the show for screencaps from the episode and for the promo for the next episode, which is going to be the season 14 finale! Have a great SVU Wednesday everyone!

Law & Order: SVU fans, prepare yourselves for one of the darkest episodes yet.

On the Season 14 finale (Wednesday, May 22, 9/8c), the squad is trying to put away a sociopath (played by Pablo Schreiber) who is outsmarting them at every turn. By the end, Detective Benson (Mariska Hargitay) is in a very precarious situation.

“The finale starts off in a very causal tone where we’re all on a day off,” Danny Pino told TVGuide.com at the NBC upfront red carpet. “Then it slowly gets darker and darker, and by the end of the episode, it’s about as dark as the episodes have ever gotten [and] I don’t know if [Amaro] can help Benson.”

Also in the video, Kelli Giddish talks about the tough run her character has had more recently, but adds that she’s happy that the arc gave her the opportunity to shoot some touching scenes with Ice T.

TV Scorecard: What’s renewed? What’s canceled?

“There were a couple of really sweet scenes,” Giddish says. “I love having Ice as a partner. I come home every day with a quote from him. My friends are sick of hearing about Ice T, but then I’m like, ‘No listen to this’ and they’re like, ‘That is wise, man.’”

Watch the video for more from Pino and Giddish, as well as Dann Florek’s and Richard Belzer’s takes on the finale. Plus: Pino names the biggest diva on set.

Danny Pino is an actor who seems to have made his career of playing smooth, oh-so- charismatic, good-guy characters. You might remember him from CBS cop drama “Cold Case” and these days you can catch him on the small screen on perennial fan favorite, “Law & Order: SVU.” As Detective Nick Amaro on the show – now in its 14^th season – Pino is a warm, likeable guy, but one whose background and personal story always seem to take second seat to the job at hand. But in real life, that couldn’t be farther from the truth, as Pino – named for his grandfather Pedro Gonzalo de Armas – is passionate about his Cuban heritage.

“To give your children the opportunity to not live under a communist dictatorship and to be able to realize their full potential is very specific to Cubans,” says Pino, who was born and raised in Miami. “It’s something that I am direct beneficiary of.”

Pino – the second of five brothers – explains that because his parents fled their native island with nothing, family and tradition quickly became the focus of the Pino home. That emphasis on family is something Pino wants to pass down to his two boys with wife Lilly; through language, food and culture he says, he wants them to feel proud of their roots.

“I hope my kids are able to be proud of who they are,” says Pino. “That they are, in fact, the beneficiaries of people who worked incredibly hard and sacrificed a lot – who sacrificed everything except their family …that’s something we’re determined to pass on to them.”

“So I’m hoping and working towards that.”

Watch Pino talk more about his Cuban roots and learn why he feels empowered by Miami’s Cuban every time he walks into a casting office.
