On the season premiere of Law & Order: SVU, "Girls Disappeared," Sergeant Benson seeks closure and solace following the death of Ellie and her adoption of baby Noah. She relentlessly seeks the culprit, the true killer of Noah's mother, and is clearly guilt ridden over her death. Thankfully, Olivia Benson is a force to be reckoned with.

Amidst all the action, the central focus of the episode proves to be the resilient bonds between mothers and their children. Watch as new relationships are nurtured and grown, and old ones are rekindled. Even as once abused and mistreated girls grow into the ruthless bosses themselves, discover what hinges them to morality, and where the wavering line in the sand finally finds its resting place.

Will the real killer be identified? Will he brought to justice? Will Noah and Olivia receive the closure they deserve? Find out on the season 16 premiere of Law & Order: SVU.
