Olivia and Chief Dodds sit down for a drink at a bar following the case. "Feathers were ruffled," Dodds tells her ominously before going on to explain that "the Powers That Be have decided I can't be trusted to work with the DA's office going forward."

Say whaaaat? Then again, if Season 21 is going to dig into internal cop-DA corruption, we are here for it.

While Olivia is understandably incensed and promises to go to bat for the chief, Dodds begs her not to stick her neck out for him, though he's being "sent to Coventry." "As of Monday morning," he explains, "I'll be riding point for the traffic and pedestrian safety task force on Staten Island."

Way harsh, Tai.
