Benson and Stabler nearly kiss on Law and Order SVU
Law and Order SVU fans were in for a major ride when the season 24 finale landed on screens.
The episode also marked a special franchise crossover with NBC’s Law and Order Organized Crime.
As a result, Olivia Benson (played by Mariska Hargitay) and Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) were back on screens together.
She called in the extra help to take down a revenge-for-hire website, Shadowërk, run by an illusive perp known as Hyakunin Giri.
However, Hyakunin Giri realised the NYPD were onto them and shut down Shadowërk which was bad news for the case as it forced Benson and Stabler to take a night shift.
The long-time friends shared a sweet conversation as they kept tabs on Shadowërk’s movements.
“I wish I could bottle this,” Stabler told Benson to which she asked: “Bottle what?”
“This moment,” Stabler responded. ”Things just keep changing, though,” he continued to which Benson quipped: ”And they change again.”
However, the two got intimately closer after an injury landed Benson in the hospital and as Stabler helped her off the bed they looked deep into each other’s eyes but the moment was interrupted by a phone call.
