The promo for Law & Order: SVU Season 26 Episode 8 had fans worried about the fate of their favorite character Peter Scanavino's Sonny Carisi.
While he survived the episode physically, his wife Kelli Giddish's Amanda Rollins and the NYPD team are worried about the emotional trauma it left on him.
The latest episode of Law & Order: SVU found Carisi as one of the hostages in a Deli, and fans were worried. Is Carisi leaving SVU? There is no news about him leaving, so fans can expect him to continue on the show. However, the incident might leave lingering effects on his character.
The problem started when Carisi went to his neighborhood Deli to pick up a bouquet for his paralegal's birthday but was held hostage at gunpoint by two armed criminals (Boyd and Deante), alongside Deli clerk Ali and two students (Tess and Elizabeth).
While Carisi came out alive from this situation, it scarred him as this was probably the first time he had been a victim in one of these situations.

Carisi finds himself in a hostage situation in Law & Order: SVU Season 26 Episode 8
The latest episode of Law & Order: SVU found Carisi in a hostage situation after he interrupted an armed robbery at a Deli. Even after complying with their demands, the robbers were not ready to release the hostages.
Captain Benson, Carisi's wife Rollins, and the NYPD team arrived to help diffuse the situation. However, things escalated when a drunk Boyd fatally shot Ali after he answered the landline when he had told him not to do so.
Even after Carisi's efforts to stop the bleeding, Ali succumbed to the gunshot and died. The team worked relentlessly to establish a connection with the gunmen inside. Carisi used Tess's smartwatch to inform Rollins about Ali.
The robbers offered to swap the hostages for Captain Benson, but between this struggle, as Boyd was about to shoot Carisi, his partner shot him to end this ordeal.
Carisi took control of the situation, and the robbers were arrested.

Such a situation could have a traumatic impact on the mind. Thus, his wife and team are worried about the situation he just experienced. It is understandable if Carisi is not put back on the team immediately.

While the promo for the episode had fans speculating that Carisi might die or get shot in the episode, he did survive the hostage situation and remained alive in the episode.
But, he also seems to be in denial of the trauma this incident caused him, which makes the situation all the more dangerous. While there has been no official announcement, we await the next course of action for Carisi's future on Law & Order: SVU.
