One of the biggest thrills for Chicago Fire fans is when storylines spill over into Chicago P.D. or Chicago Med. The crossovers give viewers more drama, more action, and more heart. Now, it looks like the seeds for a different kind of crossover have already been planted.

Jocelyn Hudon, who plays paramedic Lizzie Novak, has voiced her dream for a crossover with Law & Order: SVU. Surprisingly, Season 13 already built the foundation for this exact scenario. If the writers lean into it, Novak’s journey in Season 14 could take her from the firehouse to the courtroom.

Novak’s Crucial Season 13 Case

The setup began in a Season 13 episode that seemed ordinary at first. Novak and Violet Mikami responded to a call about an unconscious young woman in a luxury apartment. At first, it looked like a standard overdose. But Novak noticed subtle signs of trauma that didn’t match the report.

Her instincts told her the victim was sexually assaulted. While the case quickly moved into the hands of the Chicago P.D. sex crimes unit, Novak’s frustration was clear. She wanted to do more but couldn’t. That small but powerful moment laid the groundwork for her to cross paths with Olivia Benson and the SVU team.

Why This Crossover Makes Sense

Most One Chicago crossovers focus on large disasters—fires, explosions, or major manhunts. The paramedics’ roles often stop at triage and transport. A case like Novak’s, however, would give her a central role in the investigation.

It would push her into uncharted territory, where her medical expertise and empathy could help uncover the truth. The emotional weight of a sexual assault case would also give Novak a deeper storyline and show a more vulnerable side to her character.

Pairing Novak with Olivia Benson makes perfect narrative sense. Both women are strong, intuitive, and compassionate. Benson’s years of experience could guide Novak, while Novak’s sharp instincts would bring fresh energy to the team. The clash of Benson’s steady professionalism with Novak’s youthful determination would make for must-see television.

The Impact on Both Shows

A Novak-Benson crossover wouldn’t just shake up Chicago Fire—it would enrich SVU as well. For Fire, Novak would finally step out of the shadow of Firehouse 51’s bigger personalities. She could evolve into a lead player with her own emotionally charged arc.

For SVU, heading to Chicago would add new texture to the series. Watching Benson navigate a case outside New York could highlight the differences between cities and law enforcement approaches. A collaboration between Chicago responders and the SVU team would feel authentic and riveting.

The Bigger Picture for One Chicago

Season 13’s “blueprint” proves the writers are already thinking ahead. By leaving Novak’s assault case unresolved emotionally, they created the perfect opening for a crossover. It wouldn’t rely on explosions or high-speed chases, but on character-driven drama.

Hudon’s wish isn’t just an actor’s dream—it’s a logical next step for the franchise. It’s fresh, it’s layered, and it would expand what a crossover can be. Season 14 could break new ground by exploring trauma, justice, and mentorship in ways fans have never seen before.

A Dream Worth Making Reality

Crossovers are the heartbeat of One Chicago. With Novak, Benson, and a case too big for one city alone, the stage is already set. All the writers need to do is follow the blueprint they quietly laid out in Season 13.

If that happens, fans won’t just get another crossover. They’ll get a groundbreaking story that reshapes what Chicago Fire and SVU can deliver together. Season 14 has the chance to be unforgettable.
