The crossover also really needed a quiet moment between the two at the end, after the frenzy of her being shot (and giving him a good scare in the process), Jamie dying, and Kyle attempting to kill himself rather than taking the Shadowërk site down. They even got a hug, and it wasn't because his wife had recently given birth, a la classic SVU, or because his wife had been in a car explosion, a la SVU's backdoor pilot for Organized Crime! On the whole, I'm perfectly happy with where they stand now. Sure, 24 seasons and counting would be absurd for just about any other duo, but she has a lot to process and accept first. And call me crazy, but the slow crawl makes a lot of sense for them. It was also a sweet example of him no longer beating around the bush, and the gift of a compass necklace was a gesture that did not go unnoticed by Benson.

Now that Stabler has seemingly learned to choose his moments better and not ghost her on a semi-regular basis, I might even stop crossing my fingers that he’ll give a full on-screen apology for how he left SVU back in the day.ĭid I immediately say “Stabler, you nerd!” when he broke the “e” of off the “Live, Laugh, Love” ornament so that it said “Liv, Laugh, Love” instead? Yes I did, and I regret nothing. I’ve generally been lukewarm about wanting a romance for these two, but they literally completed each other in the finales when she was shot, he couldn’t see, and her carried her to safety with her guiding the way. ![]() ![]() They were friends and partners first and foremost in the finales, but there were also some distinctly romantic moments that were fun rather than painfully awkward. The crossover did a great job of making it clear that neither of them had forgotten the reunion that almost resulted in an ill-timed kiss back in January, and they seemed to mutually acknowledge in the first episode of the crossover last week that their challenge was finding the right moment.
