Elliot breaks away from the embrace with Kathleen, and his gaze follows Olivia and Alex as they head away. He sighs before exiting the pool and making his way back to the house.
As Elliot begins walking towards the house, Kathy catches up to him and asks, "Where are you going, Elliot?"
Kathy expresses her disappointment as she follows after Elliot. "You said that last time, Elliot," she remarks. "I had to find out from Cragen where you were." The frustration in her tone is clear as she confronts him about their past communication issues.
Elliot declines to respond to Kathy's comment, maintaining his silence as he continues walking toward the house's front door. The tension between them is palpable.
Munch observes Elliot's tense demeanor and intervenes, asking with concern, "Hey there, you're about to pop a vein. You OK?" His voice carries a hint of worry, noticing the strain Elliot is under.
Elliot responds to Fin's comment, explaining his early departure, "Yeah, just leaving."
Fin remarks on Elliot's decision to leave early, expressing surprise, "This early? Usually, you're the life of the party, man."
Elliot responds shortly to Fin, acknowledging the unexpected change, and expresses his departure. "Not tonight. Now, goodbye." He then proceeds out the door, clearly
Fin turns to Munch and addresses him with a playful smirk on his face. "So, what's your conspiracy, John?" he asks, anticipating an intriguing explanation from Munch.
Munch grins knowingly and shares his observation about Elliot's behavior throughout the night. "It seems like Stabler has a crush, and he's feeling jealous of Cassidy," Munch explains a hint of smugness in his voice.
"Where's Olivia?" Elliot asks, looking around
"She went home," she says, rolling her eyes.
Elliot inquired further, asking, "Why?"
Alex provides the reason for Olivia's departure, explaining, "She wasn't feeling too hot." The implication is clear that something made Olivia uncomfortable.
Elliot presses for more details, repeating his question, "Why?" He's clearly concerned about Olivia's well-being and wants to understand the reason behind her abrupt departure.
Alex once again reiterated her previous statement, emphasizing that Olivia had not been feeling well. Her expression conveys a mix of concern and mild irritation, hinting that the situation might be more complicated than it seemed.
Alex's irritation escalates as she becomes frustrated with Elliot's persistent questioning.
"She wasn't feeling too hot," Alex reiterates, her tone laced with annoyance.
Elliot continues to press for more information, asking curiously, "Why?"
Alex's irritation reaches its peak, and she blurts out, "Holy fuck, El, I don't know why you are acting so fcking weird, ew." Her patience runs thin, suggesting that there's more to the situation than meets the eye.
Alex, growing increasingly frustrated with Elliot, advises him to ask Olivia for more information directly if he's curious.
Elliot responds, explaining that he doesn't have Olivia's number.
Alex, sensing Elliot's persistence, asserts, "Well, there's probably a reason, so back off and leave her alone." Her parting words leave him pondering as she walks away.
Alex pulls out her phone and Texts Liv.
A: Hey, you doing OK ?
L: yeah, I just got out of the shower. I'm in bed now ?
A: OK, I'm glad Elliot keeps asking questions about you? ゚ルト?
L: what? ?
A: yeah, I know he's an annoying little shit who kept asking where you were & why you left
L: oh, weird lol? ゚リナ
A: Yep, well, night, babes. See you on Monday
Olivia lies in bed, her thoughts filled with confusion and frustration as she questions Elliot's concern for her. Frustration seeps through her as she contemplates his numerous admirers and wonders why he would care about her. She lets out a defeated sigh and eventually falls asleep.
In her dream, Olivia finds herself in Dani's place, catching Elliot engaging in passionate actions Elliot riding his dick. Her mind is filled with the image of Elliot's hands gripping her body. Olivia is about to come down, and then.
knock knock
Olivia lets out an exasperated exclamation, her frustration mounting, as she swings her legs out of bed and heads towards the door. Anger simmers beneath the surface, prompting her to take action.
Alex greets Olivia with a warm "Hey boo," as she walks into the room. In response, Olivia simply mutters, "Hey."
Behind Alex, Olivia spots Elliot entering as well. He offers a friendly "Hey, Liv" to Olivia, his presence stirring mixed emotions within her.
"Sorry to barge in and not leave this man home, but I've got a surprise for you." Says Alex
"Oh, what is it?" Says Olivia as Alex grabs her hand and pulls her outside and she sees big trucks
"I just got a huge work bonus, and being the best friend I am, home needs a fresh new beginning, so I've got you new furniture, a foam bed, and a massive TV." Says Alex
Alex offers an apology for barging in and bringing Elliot along, promising a surprise for Olivia.
Curious, Olivia asks, "Oh, what is it?"
Alex excitedly grabs her hand and yanks her outside. There, Olivia's eyes widen at the sight of multiple large trucks in front of her.
Olivia lets out a grateful exclamation, expressing her immense appreciation for Alex's thoughtful gesture. "Alex, oh my god, that is so sweet of you. Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Her voice rises with excitement as she jumps up and down, expressing her joy.
Alex grins mischievously, building Olivia's anticipation with her dramatic buildup.
Olivia inquires, "What's that?"
With a gleam in her eye, Alex responds, "That we get to sit back and relax while watching these hot men hauling in the furniture, completely shirtless." She then pulls out two lawn chairs and strategically positions them on the sidewalk, ensuring a prime view of the men as they move in and out of the house, carrying the new furniture.
Olivia exclaims her love for Alex, and Elliot overhears this exchange, his jealousy burning within him. Standing behind Olivia and Alex, he interjects with a pointed question: "Alex, aren't you gay?''
Alex retorts in a matter-of-fact tone, "I'm bisexual, idiot. Mind your own business." Her response is firm
The men continue unloading the furniture, and one accidentally slips, twisting his ankle.
"Oh my god, are you OK?!" Olivia exclaims with concern.
"Oh, seriously, I didn't pay for this part!" Alex responds jokingly.
Olivia quickly turns her attention to the injured man, asking, "Sir, what hurts?"
The man responds, "I think I hurt my ankle."
Olivia dials for help, summoning an ambulance to attend to the injured man. Once he's transported away, just one man remains to finish the task.
Elliot pipes up, his tone laced with sarcasm. "Oh well, that sucks. How sad you can't look at hot men deliver your furniture."
Alex offers a tempting deal to Elliot, "I'll give you $500, and you won't have to do your laundry for a week."
Elliot chuckles. "And free food for the week?" he suggests.
As Alex heads inside to fetch water, Elliot sees an opportunity to impress Olivia. He smirks, peels off his shirt, and flexes his muscles, preparing to move the furniture.
Olivia can't help but notice Elliot's physique as he lifts the furniture. Her eyes roam over his strong frame, admiring his muscular build and thick fingers. She mutters to herself, "Holy f*cking...the way he's gripping the furniture with his big hands and thick fingers. Those forearms."
Elliot pretends not to have heard her, but he certainly has. He smirks to himself, finding Olivia's reaction.
Elliot, aware of Olivia's reaction, can't contain his smirk. He asks, "What was that, Olivia?"
Caught off guard, Olivia quickly responds with a vague answer, "Oh, nothing, just um, what a wonderful day we are having."
Elliot, enjoying the situation, suggests, "Yeah, it definitely is. Would you mind grabbing me some water? I'll get it once I come back out."
Olivia quickly retrieves a glass of water and hands it to him, her gaze still fixed on his exposed torso.
Elliot, seemingly nonchalant, takes a sip of the water and then proceeds to dump the rest of the water over himself. The water cascades over his muscular body, highlighting his well-toned abs and biceps.
Olivia continues to stare intensely, her eyes fixated on Elliot's impressive physique. As he begins flexing more, Alex chimes in, breaking their moment.
Alex laughs and says, "I didn't pay for you to take the place of the employee, Stabler. Go back to the truck."
As the last piece of furniture is moved in, Olivia and Alex settle onto the couch to watch Twilight.
Elliot enters the room, and Alex poses a question, "What team are you on?"
Olivia responds confidently, "Definitely team Jacob, but now I'm also team Carlisle Cullen or Charlie Swan. They're both incredibly hot."
Alex concurs, "Definitely team Alice, she's so beautiful, but I'm also on team Charlie. Bella did indeed choose the wrong Cullen."
After Elliot finishes the move and brings in the takeaway, Alex and Olivia settle in to continue watching Oz.
Elliot comments, "Whatever you ladies say," as he rolls his eyes.
As they enjoy the food, Alex grabs the remote and scrolls through movies.
"Alright, Liv, let's continue watching," Alex says.
Elliot chimes in, questioning their choice: "What are you guys watching now? First Twilight, now this dumb shit."
Alex responds, "This is a show called Oz."
She presses play, and a pop-up appears, featuring Chris Meloni.
Olivia and Alex can barely contain their admiration as they see Chris on screen.
"This is a show called OZ." Says Alex as she presses play and pops up where Chris is naked in the showers.
"Holy fuck look at that glorious bumptious beautiful ass," Olivia says
"Look at that cock. It's beautiful." Says Alex
"That ass is just an added bonus," Olivia says while she and Alex are drooling at the TV screen
"Holy fucking a Zaddy, I would rock his fucking world." Says Olivia
"Whenever he wants, however, he wants. Holy fuck slam me in that shower, Daddy." Says Alex
"Seriously, guys, what the fuck are we watching? Who's Chris?" Elliot ask
"Oh, you don't talk while Chris is naked," Says Olivia
"You two are ridiculous. I can see why you're best friends." Says Elliot
"Yep, we are now watching, and shut up!" Olivia as they all continue to watch a few more episodes of Oz
Elliot, reluctantly admitting, says, "OK, I have to agree, it's a great show despite all the nakedness."
Olivia comments, "You know, you really resemble Chris Meloni."
Elliot retorts, "No, we don't look alike."
Olivia continues to argue her case, "Yeah, you do. If you were bald, grew a goatee, hit the gym more...he's 63 and hot as fuck."
Elliot, feeling defensive, interrupts, "Hey, I hit the gym!" He then pulls up his shirt to reveal his six-pack.
Alex quickly pulls Elliot's shirt back down, saying, "We get it; it still doesn't change that Meloni is your twin."
She laughs and pulls Olivia back down on the couch as they watch the show.
"Liv looks like he's about to kiss Beecher," Alex says.
Olivia continues to express her desire, "Oh, what I would do to have a man kiss me like that. I want Chris Keller or Meloni to kiss me like that!"
Elliot, noticing the longing in her voice, can't help but ask, "You've never been kissed correctly? Truly?"
"Never been kissed correctly, Olivia?" Ask Eliot, raising his eyebrow.
Olivia, her voice tinged with a mix of vulnerability and longing, admits, "I've never been kissed with that much passion. I've never had a man put his hands in my hair and make me feel alive. Everyone I've kissed kisses like a dog, but anyway, I gotta get ready for work tomorrow. I will see you both tomorrow. Thank you both for everything," Olivia
Olivia turns to Alex and Elliot, expressing her gratitude. She gives them both a kiss on the cheek, starting with Alex and then moving to Elliot.
As she kisses Elliot, he blushes profusely and enters a state of enchantment.
Alex smiles and wishes Olivia a safe night.
Elliot, looking concerned, asks, "Are you catching an Uber?"
Olivia replies, "No, I live down the street, and I'm walking."
Elliot, with a protective tone, responds, "Olivia Benson, it's dark out right now in the streets of New York. You are not walking alone."
Olivia assures Elliot that she can handle herself and that she has been doing it for years. She smiles and heads out the door.
Alex, who can predict Elliot's actions, counts down from 5. The moment she reaches 1, Elliot quickly puts on his shoes and dashes out the door.
Elliot catches up to Olivia, placing his arm around her shoulder.
Olivia blushes and says, "Really, El?"
Elliot responds, "Yes, I don't want anything to happen to you, whether it's one block or a mile."
Elliot and Olivia continue to walk together, with Elliot's arm still around her shoulder, not wanting to let go.
Olivia looks up at Elliot and replies, "Why SVU?"
Elliot reassures her, "You could never bore me."
Olivia responds, "Thanks, El, but really, it's a story for another time." They arrive at her stop, and she looks up at Elliot.
Elliot smiles and says, "See you tomorrow."
Olivia replies, "Yeah, you will."
