'Law and Order: SVU' Preview: Ripped From Twitter

'Law & Order: SVU' returns with two new episodes tonight (9PM ET, NBC), one of which is not just ripped from the headlines -- but ripped from star Ice T's Twitter.

Ice T told us in November that the show planned to write an episode around a Twitter war he was involved in over the sale of a book called 'The Pedophile's Guide to Love and Pleasure.' During a recent conference call with reporters, executive producer Neal Baer said, "I rewrote a scene for Ice-T to take that position, or Fin to take that position, which actually reflects his own point of view that he says something like, 'I got to tell you that I'm all for the First Amendment, but not when it lets perverts do stuff like this.'"

Taryn Manning guest stars in the episode, 'Possessed,' which is the second of tonight's episodes.

In the following clip, Manning talks about playing a victim of a vicious attack and how she prepared for the role.

In the first episode at 9PM ET, Drea de Matteo guest stars as the wife of a man who is suspected of beating her and his son (possibly to death). Detectives Benson and Stabler are also led to an underground gambling ring during the investigation of the boy's death.

Below, star Tamara Tunie discusses how she continues to play dark and grim storylines in her eleventh season.
