He wasn't there for her when she needed him. He wasn't there and he could not live with himself if he was not there now. Elliot Stabler finally makes his reappearance at the trial of William Lewis.

Olivia f**ks up. Elliot doesn't let her forget it. E/O. COMPLETE.

For two years he ignored her calls, luckily the one time she really needs him, he answers the phone and as Elliot tries to calm the rage building inside him as he listens to Olivia ask for his help, he promises he wouldn't just hurt the bastard for what he had done to her, he would kill him. My take on Season 15.

Even after Sealview, she was not this nakedly raw, this transparently vulnerable. From this he concludes: So this was worse than Sealview.

With a psychopath's knife to Elliot's throat, Olivia's true feelings are forced out. Scared of what will happen with their partnership, she decides to deny them to him and herself until a case comes along creating an undercover operation throwing them together as husband and wife.
