Law & Order - "Play with Fire Part 1" - In the annual cross over
episode, Benson show up at the regular police department and starts
trying to throw her weight around.  But the commander of the regular
unit isn't having it.
 
 
Law & Order: SVU - "Play with Fire Part 2" - Picking up where the last
episode ended, Team SVU is investigating sex trafficking involving a
priest.  I think.  I kind lost track of what was going on.  But Stabler
showed up at the end to threaten someone.
 
 
Law & Order: Organized Crime - "Lost Highway" - I was expecting a three
part cross over, but this episode had nothing to do with the first two
episodes.  Instead Stabler gets sent undercover as at trucker and
basically goes Jason Statham on people, like he's out for revenge
beating them with a baseball bat.

I commented on this in a different thread:

I watched the first two episodes of this. They basically formed a mini-movie
with Stabler going undercover as a trucker to help the FBI bust a cross-border
drugs-and-guns smuggling operation. While there, he ends up meeting and
befriending the kid of one of the lot lizards (hookers) and uncovering a coven
of serial killers among the truckers who are traveling up and down the
interstate abducting women and trading them to each other based on each guy's
particulars 'taste'. Tragedy leaves Stabler leaning on Benson for emotional
support, who shows up to visit him in the hospital and then stays on to work
the serial murder case.
