No denying Benson and Barba were/are important to one another. They have a rich multi-layered & worthy relationship that deserves exploration. Barba once told Benson: “I am you…”. I think, along the way, he has “weaseled” his way into her world/universe. Barba’s is a tune whispers, drifts, and stubbornly remains. The melody is a comforting hum and there should be another verse. Benson connects Stabler with the past memories but she misses Barba today. Barba is Benson’s balance.

I absolutely adore the depth of Barba's character, and have hoped for YEARS that Benson ends up with him. He's smart, funny, and his heart runs deep. I'd love to see him return and go up against Carisi some.more.

I absolutely loved this episode! And I loved seeing Barba again! He’s one of my absolute favorite characters on this show. Now as for the tension between him and Liv- wow! I’ve always thought there was something sizzling beneath the surface and I hope to god that in season 24 they take their relationship to the next level. I just don’t think her and Stabler are meant for each other. I know there are fans of them, but not me. I’m all about Barba and Benson!! Pleeeeease!! Either way, I can’t wait for the next season!

Raffa and Olivia will end up together. Chemistry is off the charts.
Plus Olivia is not so happy with Stabler not considering her feelings at all.
Might not be the ending the fans want but it makes more sense to me.

More chemistry between Benson and Barba. I agree with the therapist—relationship with Stabler is idealized.

For me, this episode was all about the domestic violence case. The victim (wife) did such an incredible job of portraying this character and the writers did an awesome job. Secondly was the "love triangle" for me. The last few minutes were Wow! Looking forward to next year!

Benson & Stabler MUST END UP TOGETHER‼️ They have always been in love but out of respect for Stablers marriage the subject never was “discussed”, they have unique chemistry together and we have always looked forward to this moment. PLEASE‼️‼️

Where do we start‼️ So glad to see Raul’s return and completely enjoyed Barba taking control in the court room, although he did seem to show more emotion than usual. The tension between Benson and Barba was palpable and their eyes said it all. They are both tough, hard headed, and neither will give in, but there is a respect between them… keeps us on the edge, a good tension.
This show has great writers and I hope they will continue to
evolve the relationship between Benson and Barba, but keeping
them as good friends and colleagues. They clearly care for each
other and hopefully one of them (Benson) will learn that you
need to be able to forgive to move forward. That being said,
let’s also hope that Barba returns to this show, if not
permanently, then maybe every once in a while. Come on Raul,
what do you say❓
