"Christine Lahti will return to Law &amp;amp; Order: Special Victims Unit in the forthcoming 12th season. The actress previously appeared on the NBC crime drama as interfering ADA Sonya Paxton. After clashing with Stabler (Chris Meloni), the character was sent to rehab to recover from a drinking habit. TV Guide reports that the now-sober Paxton will return in the season&amp;#039;s ninth episode. &amp;quot;She has a huge scene where she faces off with Stabler,&amp;quot; said producer Neal Baer. Law &amp;amp; Order: SVU will return to NBC on September 22 with a double bill.  "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
