Okay. So, this is my take on happens after watching the promo for this week. Enjoy!

Let's Talk About Us

It all started by man who was committing rapes and murders and the SVU team had found out that Organized Crime was tracking him for years, and they finally get to bring him in but of course the charges got dropped against him, so they had to get more evidence that it was him.

Once they found out it was connected to both cases, Ayanna decided to work with Captain Benson's team to put this guy away forever. So, they set up everything in an abandon warehouse. Olivia was standing with Carisi and Ayanna looking at the board in front of them when suddenly Olivia turns around and her breath catches to Elliot walking in. She hasn't seen him since Fin's non wedding. He was wearing a blue shirt with the top half open and a bared!

"Elliot.."

As he got close to her, she couldn't believe he had a bared! When she had gotten into a car crash after the non-wedding, she had imagined him with one and wearing an EMT uniform.

"Radio silence for 3 months?! You could've called me."

Ayanna cleared her throat looking at them. She still didn't know the dynamic between them two yet, but she was bound to find out.

Elliot looked from Ayanna to her then he used his eyes to tell her we'll talk later. Elliot had told her they had been tracking this guy for years. He was about arms, drugs, and sex trafficking. Olivia looked at Ayanna.

"We can be ready.."

Ayanna looked back and had a brow raised, "We?!"

"My team and yours work together to catch this guy. It would be quicker if we worked together."

Elliot looked at her. "She is right. We could use extra help."

Olivia smiled slightly but she was still mad at him for disappearing again for 3 months. She was tired of everyone leaving her. After Elliot had left, she started having abandonment issues. First, it was him, then it was Munch and Cragen etc. Just last week, Kat had left her. She sighed and her and her team got to work to help OC put this guy away. After along time, they had found his hideout and came up with a plan to bust him.

The plan was to send someone in as an undercover to play the part of dealing drugs with the guy they were after. When they had seen the exchange going down, SVU and OC came busting into the doors with their guns drawn, yelling hands up and step away from the drugs and the guns. They also had the UC wearing a wire so they could catch him sex trafficking the undercover.

The guy went to trail and got up to 15 years to life. So, chances are he was never going to see the light of day. They wrote up their reports and sent them in. After 3 days of working, they were finally able to go home.

It all started by Elliot getting an unexpected visit from his mother, Bernie. Since Covid hit, she didn't want to risk it by going to Kathy's funeral, but she did call her grandkids whenever she could just to check on them. Elliot, Kathleen, and Eli were at the new place and Kathleen was looking at old photos with her grandmother when she suddenly asked how Olivia was.

Elliot looks at her, "wait, how do you know Olivia?"

Bernie looks at him, "After you asked me for help with Katy, she came to visit me to talk about my illness."

Realization came across his face when he remembers Olivia telling him that God remembered how cute he was a carrot.

"Oh."

Bernie sighs, "It's a shame what that monster did to her.."

Kathleen goes, "grandma" giving her a look

Elliot looks be weathered, "What monster?!" looking between Kathleen and his mother. "What are you guys not telling me!?"

After learning about what that motherfucker did to Olivia, Elliot left his place and went to see Olivia.

Knocking on Olivia's door after they had solved the case. Olivia was at home by herself as Noah was at a sleepover with someone from school. She looks at the time. It's 10 pm. Who could that be? Getting up from the couch, she made her way over to the door and she opened it, her hair moving from the slight breeze.

"Elliot.."

He looked out of breath and what, was he crying? His eyes were bloodshot red. She pulled him in, and she locked the door not wanting her neighbors to hear. They walked over to the couch but by then, Elliot did something that he hasn't done before. He dropped to his knees and wrapped his arms around her middle crying again.

"I am so so sorry.. I should have been there."

Olivia had thought he meant the car crash, "I'm fine. It was just my ankle.."

Shaking his head, Elliot pulled back a little and looked up at her, "No.. I found out about Lewis."

Olivia swallowed hard and shut her eyes for a moment then she reopened them. "How?"

"My mother."

If this was a happy moment, she would have replied with an oh you're mothers in town? That's nice. But it wasn't. When she had looked back down at him, she saw something in those perfect blue eyes and if she was reading them right then it scared the hell out of her.

"That fucker branded you?! Where is he so I can tear him apart.."

Olivia was trying not to let one teardrop fall but she couldn't hold it anymore and she just nodded slightly.

"He uh used keys, a coat hanger, and cigarettes.. He's dead. He shot himself after we played a game of Russian Roulette. The last bullet was meant for me."

"Jesus Liv. Somebody should have called me. I would have dropped whatever it was to save you. I would've noticed you were missing within an hour of you not showing up the next day."

Elliot thought about what his mother had told him, but he was scared to ask, "He didn't, did he?"

Olivia knowing what he was asking, she shook her head, "No.."

When his mother had told him what had happened, he felt guilty for leaving her. That's when he made a secret vow to never leave her side again.

"I am never ever leaving you again."

She looked at him, "How do I know? It broke my heart when Cragen told me you had put your papers in."

Elliot reached his hand to wipe a tear away by her mouth and that's when he finally let go and told her the truth.

"I need you."

Olivia felt breathless and her mouth hung opened looking into the depth of his eyes. They felt some sort of forcefield pushing them closer to each other. This time, he once again did something that he has never done before.

He kisses her passionately. He puts his hand in her hair holding her like his life depended on it. Olivia didn't respond back at first because of being scared. But then she realized she wanted it and so she starts kissing him frantically.

Somewhere in the words, Cragen was enjoying his retirement from SVU and was at a cabin with Eileen when suddenly he got a cold chill and he didn't know why. Little did he know that the cause of his cold chill was the one thing he had feared happening. His 2 favorites were finally together.

The End.
