* “SVU” is still fourth in its timeslot but hit a season high of 2.8 in 18-49, making it look like more of a contender as ABC timeslot competition “Modern Family” and “Cougar Town” continue to dip.

* “SVU” was the only big-four show to post an 18-49 gain Wednesday night.

* Even though lead-in “SVU” keeps climbing, “Leno” hit its all-time Wednesday low.

* “Leno” tied with “Hank” with the lowest 18-49 score on the big-four networks (though “Hank” drew more overall viewers overall).
