The moment NBC confirmed that Kelli Giddish was coming back to Law & Order: SVU, we pulled our stuffed chipmunk out of storage and got to thinking: Could this mean we’ll actually see some sweet, fun and/or important moments between Giddish and Peter Scanavino — aka Sgt. Amanda Rollins and Assistant District Attorney Dominick “Sonny” Carisi Jr., aka #Rollisi — in the upcoming Season 27?

TEAMWORK MAKES THE DREAM WORK

Remember when Rollins and Carisi were partners? Let’s revisit that magic by showing them working together at the NYPD. Is it realistic that Counselor Carisi spends more time at the precinct than he does at the District Attorney’s office? Absolutely not. But if the silver-haired ADA is going to be around the station regardless, let’s maximize the amount of time he and his cop wife spend together on the job. Speaking of which: Let’s actually see Rollins doing more in her position as a sergeant in the Intelligence Division, cool?

CHANGING FAMILY DYNAMICS

Now that Rollins is going to be on screen more, we’d like to see how Amanda and her daughters are interacting as Jesse and Billie grow up. (Hopefully she’s a little more measured than Sonny was with that guy leering at Jesse last season.) And of course, we’d love more moments featuring the entire family together: How, exactly, are Carisi and Rollins faring as the harried parents of a toddler and two growing girls?

MAKING IT OFFICIAL

Let’s be real: Carisi was, for all intents and purposes, a father to Rollins’ daughters even when he was just “Uncle Sonny.” But we’d love to get a scene in Season 27 that shows him signing the paperwork to officially adopt Billie and Jesse as his legally recognized kids.

GIRL TIME

Benson and Rollins are the closest things either of them have to female besties, so why not lean into that now that Amanda is around full-time? We’re hoping for more chats like the one they had in Season 24 with the box o’ wine in the motel room… minus the pervy front-desk guy.

MORE EXTENDED CARISI CHAOS, PLEASE

It’s been far too long since we’ve seen and heard Serafina Carisi weigh in on her son’s life. Maybe she shows up to babysit when Magda has to call out sick? Maybe she presides over a gigantic —and, we’re sure, loud — family dinner? Or maybe she gives her chronically kitchen-challenged daughter-in-law a little private gravy lesson? We’ll take anything Beverly D’Angelo is willing to show up for.
