It's also the second-most-watched "SVU" since Feb. 8 (6.9 million), trailing over that span only last week's 7.1 million, which benefited from a high-rated lead-in from "Christmas in Rockefeller Center" [1.7 in 18-49, 9.0 million viewers overall]).

Finishes within 0.1 of last week's 18-49 rating (1.2 vs. 1.3, which matched the show's best regular-slot 18-49 rating since Jan. 18).
