I feel that this crossover really cemented what Chris Meloni said about Elliot’s feelings for Olivia. That he loved her but didn’t know where to place it. And all throughout these two episodes you could see that playing out. He wants to be there for his wife, but at the same time...it’s Olivia...and the way he delivered lines like “if I heard your voice”... 😩😩 oohh says so much. And then you see he’s trying to get close to her again, and shows this by standing close to her, trying to make small talk, grabbing her by the arm, etc. But Olivia can’t just yet. And the two biggest gestures of all...the hug and the letter. The hug shows that despite all that time, they’re there for each other in a way no one else can be. And the letter...I REALLY want to know what he wrote in that letter.

For reals!!! Stabler and Olivia were that married couple that could never be together physically due to their circumstances but shared an emotional love that no one could come close to. And after all the terrible atrocities they dealt with they always had each other to console. When Stabler left Olivia had to live through this crappy dark world by herself and found a way to move forward and has a son now. But after Stabler came back Olivia came back. The emotional vulnerable Olivia came back after 10 years and she wanted to hold Stabler and never let go but she couldn't because of Cathy and the pain she felt. Now that Cathy is gone , it will be interesting to see how they can repair their relationship. They have both lost two people that they did love dearly and they will never date again because the truth is they love each other and are SOULMATES. And hopefully they will have a deep conversation once their sounds have healed and confess the feelings they have felt since they became partners two decades ago!

I think it's good to have Stabler back but you have to admit that Olivia shouldered the show since season 13 and basically saved it. When no one believed in SVU without Stabler, Benson proved that her character was just getting started and gave us magnificent seasons, with an evolution of herself unthinkable. Today she is a Captain and Stabler a mere detective. Long live Olivia!

@AladeenMusic Жыл бұрын

the only reason Stabler remained a detective because remember he retired from the NYPD in 2011 for nearly 10 years he was off the force, once he rejoined in 2019 in Rome, he still had the rank of Senior Detective, he should at least be Seargant, he would have been promoted if he stayed

Coming from someone who has had mostly male friends throughout my teenage & adult years and whose best friend of about a decade is also a male; these two are definitely in love with each other. Just the way they look at each other, how they have such an emotional impact on one another that just hearing the others voice would cause them to completely change their mind on certain issues. Someone you love platonically doesn't usually have that kind of effect on you. Just my thoughts.

In front of his kids one of which even asked Liv back in the day if they had ever slept together no less. Then when he tried to call her after the I love you Olivia wouldn't take his calls after. If he just meant it platonically and she knew that why would she be actively laying awake avoiding his calls?

@Abby Castle there are little comments here and there throughout the first 12 seasons and even now with his return that show they do actually love each other. Everyone sees it. Fin catching stabler up on the last 10 years, he won’t tell Elliot who the guy was because he knows he will get upset. Wheatley even knows. Back in season 7 when she didn’t shoot the suspect because she could hit stabler, he says I know you would have taken the shot she says no I wouldn’t have. You expect me to cause your death? What about your kids (not family, just the kids) what about me? He got jealous anytime she was seeing someone or flirting. Cassidy when they were first sleeping together he calls her out on it. That fbi dude, he got jealous anytime they talked and actively intervened. There are plenty of scenes and small things to suggest their love was more than platonic. Her reaction when he left was not just a long time partner retiring.
