![]() The biggest surprise has to be that Nova, the same Marcy Killer suggested as someone they could possibly turn, is a UC and has been for a long time. “You could be doing better,” Stabler tells his mom. “I guess I’m not doing so well, am I?” Bernadette asks as Burstyn delivers another Emmy-worthy performance. Come stay with her family, they urge her. But “I’m 82 years old, I just can’t figure normal,” she admits. She refuses to go back to the hospital and says she’d rather stay in her place and die if she has to. Stabler, his daughter Kathleen (Allison Siko), and his son Eli (Nicky Torchia) bring Bernadette home. “Your beautiful bride,” she says, asking, “How was Olivia’s funeral?” He doesn’t correct her. She changed her pills because she felt OK. She meant to attend the funeral, she says, but she had an episode. Then it takes her a moment to remember he lived in Rome, he and Kathy visited, and that his wife is dead. When he joins her (with “hi, mama”), Bernadette doesn’t recognize him at first. With Stabler undercover, Bell picks her up and brings her back to her office. The most interesting part of the episode, of course, comes with Bernadette, who is arrested after she slaps a young boy, thinking he’s her son. She offers to take him out, but he insists he’s good. Bell reminds him what he told her when Gina died: sometimes they lose a few to save a lot. He hesitated when Albi pulls his gun because he felt like he had to prove his loyalty, he confesses. But the more intriguing part of this op remains the Stabler and Bell scenes, in this case when they meet in a confessional in a church. Stabler returns to his undercover life as Eddie Wagner, and he burns down a warehouse and can’t stop Albi (Vinnie Jones) from killing a man he suspects of setting fire to his business. However, as Rollins points out she “used to” know him. Detective Amanda Rollins ( Kelli Giddish) is furious about the turn of events and isn’t sure Stabler even cares about the victims, though Benson reminds her he was in SVU even before she was. He claims he didn’t know Gabe was being put into WitSec when he calls Benson before going back undercover. Was it part of a plan? Maybe, because when Carisi goes to arraign Gabe at the hospital, the US Marshals have already taken him into custody. Was that part of them trying to make it look good? Benson can’t help but ask. Her former partner promises he has her back, “trust me.” Her reply? “I guess I’ll have to.” That turns out to possibly be the wrong move, as during the takedown, Gabe pulls his gun, and Stabler shoots him in the shoulder. But SVU will be part of the takedown, the captain insists. Gabe is an advisor to notorious international fugitive and Russian mafia boss Anton, and he’s willing to give him up (for what, Stabler can’t tell Benson yet). And since Sergeant Fin Tutuola ( Ice-T) awkwardly slipped into conversation with Benson earlier that Phoebe wants to set Stabler up with her sister, let’s do that here, too. “You’re not going to like this,” Stabler, who’s been MIA up until now with his undercover work, tells Benson. But just as she’s ready to testify and ADA Sonny Carisi ( Peter Scanavino) is going to bring it before the grand jury, Sergeant Ayanna Bell ( Danielle Moné Truitt) calls. Tara manages to get him to threaten her during a call, and the squad arrests him for rape and attempted murder.Īs they soon discover, Tara’s not Gabe’s first victim. But he’s well-connected - with cops and the DA’s office (nine arrests in seven years, all charges dropped) - and the other attendees claim they didn’t see anything. SVU is brought in after Gabe (Rhys Coiro) sexually assaults a singer, Tara (Herizen Guardiola), and slaps her down the stairs at his club. Did it live up to the hype? (YES, yes it did.) “I Thought You Were on My Side” (She won an Emmy in 2009 for her guest spot on SVU in Season 10’s “Swing.”) The promos have been teasing Stabler and Benson finally addressing that letter he wrote her and something maybe happening between them when he stops by her apartment. In addition to a case so big Stabler steps away from his undercover work, Ellen Burstyn returns as his mother, Bernadette, who is bipolar. ![]() The three-episode crossover has a lot of ground to cover. “I need you,” Detective Elliot Stabler ( Christopher Meloni) tells his former partner, Captain Olivia Benson ( Mariska Hargitay), in the latest SVU and Organized Crime crossover, but how exactly did he mean it?
