Spoilers ahead for episode 8 of the Law and Order: Organized Crime Season 3, titled “Whipping Post”.
With the mid-season finale approaching so soon, Law and Order: Organized Crime Presumably near the end of the first arc of the third season. “Whipping Post” ended with the staff on the verge of disbanding, along with bell Receive a well deserved promotion. At the same time, it seems like a pretty safe bet that the task force won’t close permanently and the detectives will close the current case. Uncovering this hard-to-find episode is what happens next stabler Obviously, he made a drunken declaration of love Tia…and it almost certainly had to do with Benson.
See, when I say “drunk pronouncement,” I mean it looks like he more or less declared that he was in love with someone to Tia while they were dating, After the final episode’s cliffhanger. organized crime He wasn’t shown what he actually said, so we have to rely on what Tia had to say about him:
I remember some things. The important parts. Except for her name. You said there is a woman you like.
Stabler — bless his messy heart — went a full 14 seconds without saying anything before coming up with an “I’m done?” Then he focused all his energy on buttering the toast. The expression on Tia’s face made it clear that yes, he definitely said it. Obviously, he didn’t name-drop, but for the women in his circle, I think fans probably can We agree he was thinking of Benson. In fact, this wouldn’t be the first time he’d said he loved her and Then it took a long time to process what he did.
For her part, Tia seemed to take pity on him and decided to drop some advice on him instead of continuing to hint at knowing the name of the woman he liked, saying:
Love shouldn’t be complicated. Love affairs yes. They can get messy. But love, this is different.
To his credit, Stabler didn’t respond to “Love Shouldn’t Be Complicated” by starting to post 20+ years worth of stories about his ex Tia (or suggesting Peacock Subscription To watch the concert twelve seasons of SVU), which would prove to her how incredibly complicated the relationship between him and Benson was years since the pilot. He didn’t say much of anything whenever I hinted at all he said, in fact, and fans will have to look at it Christopher Meloniinterpretable performance.
Now, as someone who enjoys the drama of the mystery and complexities of a Benson/Stabler relationship–be it professional, platonic, or romantic–a good detective drunkenly spills his feelings onto the woman who may or may not have fallen out with the target. His temptation was a pleasant surprise, but it also makes me wonder: yes O.C (or SVUfor that matter) Do you actually have a plan to go anywhere with this?
The hard issue that kept me from getting too deep into seeing so much of Benson and Stabler together is simply that Mariska Hargitay (recently described as “female power”) is a star SVU And Christopher Meloni is a star O.C. The two shows are very different, run by different people, and the two stars haven’t even crossed over to each other’s show this season.
If a plan is in place, fans could be involved in a development between Benson and Stabler. If not… well, fans might need to prepare themselves just to see Benson deal with the relationship now and then SVU And he takes a stabler occasionally O.C. Personally, I enjoy the mystery and get rid of it anytime either mentions the other, but 24 seasons of SVU and three seasons O.C It’s already been a long time waiting for which fans will want more after getting these clues about Stabler’s feelings.
Only one episode of Law and Order: Organized Crime He remains in 2022, and Benson does not appear in the series promoSo maybe viewers shouldn’t hope Mariska Hargitay makes a guest appearance.
