Their prayers were answered in August when it was revealed that the three NBC dramas will come together when each show returns on Thursday to tell one story across three gripping hours of television in a first for the franchise.
Law & Order kicks off the episode, titled Gimme Shelter, which begins with an unidentified young girl getting shot in cold blood.
The Law & Order crossover looks incredible
Det. Jalen Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) teams up with Det. Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan) to track down her killer, before realizing they need help and call upon Mariska's Capt. Olivia Benson from SVU and Christopher Meloni's Det. Elliot Stabler from Organized Crime.
Mariska took to Instagram on Tuesday to share her excitement over Thursday's episode, captioning photos of her at the event: "Getting so excited about Thursday night's @nbclawandorder historic Crossover Event! Three hours. Three squads. One case. See you there! #SVU #OrganizedCrime #LawAndOrder."
