Stabler drove Benson to the bar that he regularly would go to when depressed. They were heading in when he got a call and he took it as she went inside. She walked off into another part of the bar to look around. See if it was familiar, Stabler came in a minute later. He went over to the bartender that he knew well.

"Hey Stabler- kind of early to be back" he said.

"I was here last night?" Stabler asked as he stood leaning against the bar.

"Yeah man, don't you remember?" he asked.

"No" Stabler said.

"What did I do?"

"Well you came in around twelve. You looked awful. Your face was red, and I asked if you were ok but you just asked for something to drink. You sat over there at that table, had two beers then went to the pay phone. About 15 minutes later this really hot babe came in and you two talked. You shared another beer and then you and her went off together."

"Was I drunk?" Stabler asked hopping he would be.

"No man, you actually drank less then you have before. When you left with that babe you didn't look one bit bad. At first I thought maybe you were someone else- but it was you alright" the bartender assured him.

"If you saw the woman I was with would you recognize her?" Stabler asked.

"Yeah, I mean she just walked in a few minutes ago" he told him. Stabler raised his eyebrow then called for Olivia.

"Hey Liv, can you come here?" he asked. She came over to him and the bartender.

"Is this the woman you saw me with last night?" Stabler asked.

"Oh yeah. I couldn't forget you" he said starring at her. She lifted her eye brow and turned to Stabler. They moved away from the bar and talked quietly.

"What did he say? Was I here?" she asked.

"Yeah… he said I was really really wasted. That I called you and you had to practically carry me out." Stabler lied.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yeah" he said looking away.

"I got to use the bathroom, I'll be right back" he told her as he walked off. Benson looked around and waited when the bartender called out to her.

"Hey are you Olivia-Olivia?" he asked as she turned.

"What?" she asked.

"Are you the Olivia, the one that Stabler always talks about?" he asked as she walked closer to him.

"What?" she asked quieter.

"Yeah he talks about this Olivia woman all the time. He likes her a lot, we get tired of him talking about her- but he never stops" the bartender said.

"Your not that Olivia? His partner?" the bartender asked again.

"…No." she said quietly as Stabler came out from the bathroom.

"Let's go" he said and she turned away from the bartender a little shocked. They got out to the car and Stabler looked at her.

"Are you ok?" he asked.

"…yeah I'm fine" she said trying to take her face expression away.

"I have an idea of where we could have gone" he said.

"You don't think we went back to my apartment?" she asked a little hesitantly.

"Not yet" he told her pretty for sure.

He drove for awhile, and Benson had dozed off. She still had felt so exhausted and with the ride in the car, she couldn't help but sleep. Stabler felt odd. Like this felt familiar. It was weird. But starting to make sense. He pulled up to a valet parking, fancy restaurant. Benson woke up finally and he opened the door for her.

"Where are we?" she asked.

"Where I think I brought you yesterday" he told her as they walked into the restaurant. The manager was standing at the podium just inside and smiled as they came in.

"Welcome back you two" he smiled. Benson turned to Stabler with a smile.

"Thank you" Stabler said and Benson frowned.

"Same table as last night" Stabler told him.

"Of course" the manager smiled and led them to a small table in the back room. It was quiet, and dim light lit the room.

"Same as last night?" the man asked.

"Of course" Stabler smiled as the manager went off.

"What are you doing?" she asked.

"Well, Cragen said to 're-live' yesterday- and it seems where ever we went people recognized us and had good things to say." He smiled as he put a napkin in his lap. She smiled at him as the manager came back with the wine.

"Dinner is on the house tonight" the manager said and Benson looked at Stabler surprised.

"Thank you. Thank you very much" Stabler told him and the manager smiled while he poured wine into both their glasses.

"Um, excuse me." Benson called out before he left.

"Yes madam?" he asked.

"Uh, yesterday. What did we do?" she asked as the manager frowned.

"What did you do?" he asked.

"Yes. Why did you remember us?" She asked. The manager looked at her with a frown.

"It's a hard night to forget" he told her before he walked off. Benson was going to call out to him again when she stopped and looked at Stabler with a frown.

"What happened last night?" she asked.

"I don't know. But, so far so good" he smiled still stunned with the managers answer.
