"There's something about the alchemy of these shows coming together that really makes it crackle," executive producer Matt Olmstead tells TVGuide.com. "This crossover is the best [crossover] yet and provided the best episode of Chicago P.D. yet. The cool thing about this one is ... that it starts in Chicago and stays in Chicago in the 9pm hour with SVU people over there. Then, at 10, it goes to New York with our guys going there. So it plays like a 3-hour movie without ping-ponging back to particular cities for the timeslots."

Three three-show crossover kicks off with Chicago Fire airs on Tuesday at 10/9c, followed by Law & Order: SVU on Wednesday at 9/8c and then Chicago P.D. at 10/9c on NBC.
