The creative brass on NBC's Law & Order: SVU continues to keep its fans guessing on what's in the cards for Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay), who's already been confirmed to be continuing on with the show amid being held at gunpoint to end season 14.

Although it's been revealed that Olivia will survive the hostage ordeal shown during the cliffhanger finale, a new promo pic has recently surfaced showing her in the midst of a serious struggle.

In the photo, Hargitay's character could be seen in front of the man holding her against her will and tied up to a chair. She has duct tape on her mouth with her hair flopping in the air, a clear indication that she's trying to break free.

According to Carter Matt, the respective storyline "could end up being one of the hardest moments of Olivia's entire life." To top the incident off, it could also serve to be one of the most difficult tasks for the SVU team to date as they attempt to locate her.

Law & Order: SVU is slated to make its return on Wed., Sept. 25 at 9/8 p.m. Central Standard Time. Be sure to check back for more of the latest information on the popular program.
