Law & Order season 25 episode 2- What to expect and a recap of the previous episode 

The new promo for the upcoming episode has been released, but not much is disclosed. The promo starts with Nolan, along with his girlfriend Grace, enjoying some quality time, which later ends up in a heated argument between the couple as Nolan asks her to testify in a case. 

Episode 1, titled "Street Justice," is set on the brutal murder of Carter Mills, the person who killed Maroun’s sister.

Maroun had a massive fallout after hearing this news, as she intended to take revenge on her sister through him. Suspicion was increased when Maroun's own gun disappeared.

She later acknowledged that she intended to just confront Carter Mills, not to murder him. Nevertheless, she acknowledged that she threw her gun into the river because she was too afraid.

Investigators focused on Carter's former partner, Julia, as the evidence grew. A few days before his verdict, the couple split up, and Julia bought a rifle from Pennsylvania. She admitted to killing Carter out of self-defence during the trial.

A first-degree manslaughter charge was what Maroun advocated for. A shocking turn of events marked the episode's conclusion when Julia told Maroun that the act had been planned.

Julia's confession was kept secret, though, since Maroun chose to proceed with the plea.

The premiere episode set the stakes high for season 25, with the whole mystery of the Carter Mills murder case.

It was exciting, full of thrills, complex and morally ambiguous, which leaves the fans excited for the upcoming episodes. 

Season 25 episode 2 will air on Thursday, October 2, 2025, at 8:00 PM ET on NBC.
