What Happened To Noah On ‘Law & Order: SVU’? Relive The Harrowing Ordeal
Noah Porter-Benson Faces a Reality Check on Law & Order: SVU
As Noah begins to piece together his backstory, it’s a chance for fans to revisit the gripping saga of how Olivia came to adopt him, and the immense struggles she endured to secure him a brighter future.
How Did Noah’s Journey Begin?
Noah Porter-Benson’s harrowing journey began in the Season 15 episode “Wednesday’s Child,” when the SVU team discovered him, then known as Baby Boy Doe, hidden away in a hotel room with other abused children. The discovery came after tracking down a missing child linked to a ring of child pornographers. Noah, whose family had never claimed him, was placed into foster care.
The Fate of Noah’s Biological Mother
In the Season 15 finale, “Spring Awakening,” the narrative took a heartbreaking turn. Ellie Porter, Noah’s biological mother, was introduced amidst a robbery case. Initially reluctant to testify against her pimp, Tino, Ellie’s resolve changed when she learned that Noah, whom she had been told had died, was alive. Her agreement to testify came too late, as she was tragically found dead before her court date. With Ellie gone, Noah was left an orphan, and Olivia Benson was given the opportunity to become his foster mother.
The Discovery of Noah’s Biological Father
Season 16 unveiled another twist with Johnny Drake (Charles Halford), a human trafficker, revealed as Noah’s biological father in the episode “Undercover Mother.” Despite being imprisoned at Rikers, Drake’s existence complicated Olivia’s adoption process. When Benson sought to officially adopt Noah, Drake learned of his paternal rights and attempted to leverage them in court. Fortunately, Drake’s fate was sealed when he was killed in a gunfight, clearing the path for Olivia to adopt Noah.
Olivia’s Fight for Noah
Olivia’s journey as Noah’s mother was fraught with challenges. In Season 16, her ability to juggle her demanding job with parenting was scrutinized, but a judge allowed her to continue fostering Noah, provided she prioritized him. Olivia also faced an investigation after an incident where she bruised Noah while saving him from a car. In Season 19, Ellie Porter’s mother Sheila (Brooke Shields) attempted to take Noah away, leading to her arrest. Despite these trials, Olivia’s dedication never wavered.
A New Chapter for Noah
Today, Noah is thriving in Olivia’s care and has even met an older half-brother, adding to his sense of family. As Noah delves into his past, fans hope he can find peace with his history while continuing to build a happy life with Olivia.
The upcoming episodes promise to explore this poignant chapter in Noah’s life, highlighting the enduring strength of Olivia Benson’s role as both a mother and a protector.
