When we say we do not know much, trust that we mean it. We first encounter Detective Joe Velasco in the Season 23 premiere at the fundraiser where Chief McGrath (Terry Serpico) has placed him as a secret undercover officer that Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) is aware of. In fact, before leaving the fundraiser, Joe thanks Olivia, to which she says, “Always.” Doesn’t that sound like they’ve known each other for some time?
It’s at this point the SVU team has to start preparing for the grand jury in Garrett Howard’s (Derek Cecil) case. Detective Velasco is going to have to testify. Unfortunately, nearly all of the remaining members of the grand jury have ended up either missing or dead. It looks like Garrett might get away with it. Now we’ve caught up to how Kat is shot, as she was protecting Rosa (Angelic Zambrana), one of the grand jury members.
Meanwhile, Velasco, who is getting one heck of a show introduction, is tasked with keeping Jenna (Isabelle Poloner), the other grand jury member, safe from harm. In a conversation with Jenna, in an attempt to gain her trust after learning her father is abusive, Velasco says, “See this belt? My dad used to whip me with it.” Sadly, we learn from Jenna’s mom that Garrett impregnated Jenna when she was only 15. Not only that, but Jenna’s mom kept proof in the form of one of Jenna’s dresses. This is very intense.
It Would Appear That Detective Joe Velasco Is Already Winning Over ‘SVU’ Fans
