Theory: They are putting Elliot through everything Olivia went through while he was gone.
• She lost Tucker. He lost Kathy.
• She was tortured. He was tortured.
• Both squads know they were/are missing.
• Cragen was there for her after. Cragen will be there for him after.
SVU 24x21 “Bad Things” with guest star Chris Meloni will air on May 11th.
Chris and Mariska filmed yesterday by the lions, Patience & Fortitude.
NYPL is having a special story time for the Lions birthday on May 11th.
The episode right before “Smoked”, aired 5-11-11.
The May 5th episodes will air on the 12 year anniversary of “Ace”.
12 years ago, Elliot told her what he would name their son.
12 years later, Elliot is meeting her son.
Them getting benched means they can talk. Have conversations, they really need to have. So, maybe everyone is out working but they can’t. So they sit in the squad room and just talk.
Calling something big happening in episode 12 of SVU/OC.
If this title doesn’t change…something is going to happen. 🤡
OC Episode 12 - “Partners In Crime”
Olivia trusts him with Noah.
She said she wants them, but isn't ready.
He was making her tea. He was taking care of her. She was letting him take care of her.
EO is slow as heck but it is happening.
I think Liv being shot happens as SVU ends & OC begins. Summary for SVU says Jet puts the team in danger, benched on OC.
Work the case, Liv gets shot. They get benched cause they found out too late they had a hit out on them. Now it’s up to the team & EO can talk (makeout).
Mariska on Chris Meloni, “We met, and the rest is history. He’s somebody who’s changed my life so much. Somebody I love. I’m so grateful that those magical stars collided.” (People Magazine, 2024)
“How’s Olivia doing? What that man did to her was horrible."
"Grandma, we weren't supposed to bring it up."
"Kathleen, what are you talking about?" Elliot says, looking concerned at them.
"When Olivia was kidnapped. Don't you remember dear?"
That had to 100% be a PTSD thing because of the last episode with the car explosion.
He hallucinated Kathy in the last thing he saw her in, the hospital gown.
Plus the case brought up a lot of memories with Bernie's episode, thinking she was alive.
"But, the question is this, when you come right down to it, would you be willing to break her out of prison?
Because that, my boy, is true love."
- Martha Rogers, Castle
Chris and Mariska had to have known of the new showrunner when they did press.
They still talked about EO, and them dating.
There's a chance, that dinner was with the new showrunner as well.
BREATHE.
Also, remember we still have EO in episode 15.
