Anybody see the season opener right after Claire died in the car crash? They occasionally refer to her death, but I missed the opener itself, how was it handled?

Also, I call the other one "SUV" instead of SVU, seems more normal to me. My main objection about it is that it is all Law, and no Order, in that they spend the whole show on the cops part trying to make the arrest, whereas what is so great about the original is that then at the half it switches to trying to get the conviction, so you really see both parts of the legal system. But I just love the actors, the Hungarian woman and her partner. I also really like the new partner for Briscoe on the regular show, and while I miss Adam Schiff a lot, I am reserving judgment in the new DA. When they replaced Claire with Jamie, one of the things I liked the most is that she (Jamie) was a little slimy, and not all ethics before all, she would cut corners and so on, added a real newness to the replacement of one white woman with another. I miss her, and don't like the new one as much, can't even remember her name now.. but then again, the class I teach is on Weds, and I've missed more L&O this season than I would normally allow myself. But if anyone could tell me how they handled Claire's death, I'd be grateful. I did see the car crash, where it wasn't immediately clear to me if she were dead or merely injured...
