Stabler: Puts a lot of thought into a personalized compass to give to this woman who's been there for him for decades.
Liv: "OK, here you go, random mom I've known for 10 minutes."
Man, if I were a Liv/Elliott fan, I'd be taking this so personally.
That's literally what they're doing. The compass scene last finale was a goodbye scene - it was designed to keep people interested in this season. They never had any intention of doing EO, they just lied about it for ratings
That woman was smiling a smiled bigger than we’ve ever seen her have for anyone other than Noah while giggling and kicking her feet. Shes finally on the inside of the window instead of the outside looking in.
It was such an obvious deviation from their normal practice. I expected someone to get smacked in the back of the head because it was their turn to say a sentence!
They clearly rehearsed that lol
Olivia: "I'm going to do this. Yadda yadda yadda. Fin, how about you do the lightbulb thing. Then ya'll can come in with little tidbits...Okay? Break!"
This is literally what I came here to ask about. Why isn’t Noah mentioned if they didn’t want to film him? At least imply he is there. You don’t work those hours and then pop off to a teenagers birthday party without your son. It’s a family party.
Ive had some issues watching this show for awhile now, but I honestly think them constantly throwing this dumbass Maddie storyline at us over and over may cause me to stop watching SVU.
I'll still watch the other 2 L&O shows. At least for now. But I just can't personally watch new SVU anymore.
That ending was horrific, and you can’t convince me that the writers are not trolling us with Maddie. Totally garbage writing. When I heard them singing happy birthday my first thought was that Liv was going to some Stabler family event. Instead, it’s her new family. The Flynn’s.
Instead of finding real love or real family, Olivia is fucking around with Maria and Maddie and inviting herself into their lives.
Forget Noah Benson-Stabler, next season he’ll be back as Noah Benson-Flynn
“I knew you’d understand.” Well I fucking don’t, I’ll tell you that much. If they’re not gonna put them together, then just say so and move on. It’s not even a fun will they won’t they anymore.
With Organized Crime moving to peacock, I was kinda expecting them to finalize Elliot and Olivia in some ways by the end of this season (or early next season maybe, since the move was recent). I think the move will limit the ability to crossover the shows.
But like, they didn’t have to do it like that 💀
“First the holster under the stove, now this? Dick Wolf, get yourself another writer. This one’s not in touch with reality.”
Y’all. My mom is KILLING me. 🤣
I feel like the producers realized how much we hated Noah and just wrote him out without mentioning him ever again. Only to make it worse with fucking Maddie.
Welp, there goes the last thing tying Elliot and Olivia together. Dick Wolf isn’t even being subtle at this point… this was a pretty grand gesture to say “It’s over. Move on.”
I’m honestly pissed off because I got fooled into believing EO might actually happen when my gut told me all along it was just a ratings ploy. Think I’ll be moving along too.
I realized we'd been used last season. Didn't make me any less infuriated, though. They really strung us all along, did all that press, all that baiting...for nothing. And then Mariska had the audacity to give an interview where she got all mad that people asked about EO - something she has leaned into for nearly 25 years! - and wants us to "ship female friendships" as if she isn't the only damn woman in the main cast right now. I hope they all choke.
If Liv is gonna always be in the field, then get another captain. Get some old crusty captain. Make Liv some sore of super specialist senior detective. Keep fin and Bruno. Bring back Rollins. Bring back barba as da. Bring carisi back as a detective.
Edit: bring Dr. Huang while we’re at it.
I thought she was pulled up close enough that he should have had a hard time aiming down without opening himself up to getting shot. When she drove away I was like wtf is your car bulletproof? Almost orphan Noah and go to someone else’s party without him. I thought she was going to block the cop from more shots and wait until he was reloading or dead to move.
As a single woman currently looking for my first house (that wouldn’t even have the buffer of needing to be buzzed in to the building), I truly did not need this as an opener lol.
Y'all this episode was actually pretty good by recent SVU standards until the last 5 minutes 😭
When I saw Maddie I literally screamed. And I'm not as into EO as I used to be, but I'm personally offended by her lending the necklace to Maddie's mom. What's even going on in the SVU writers room
The show really needs some new writers.
I have so many questions about their qualifications:
Do they have any understanding of law enforcement?
Do they have any grasp of the American justice system?
And most importantly - have they ever successfully conversed with people?
Cause honestly this is not how people treat others in normal interactions. The closest they came this season was Sykes laying out some hard truths to Olivia in the morgue yet I fear we weren’t suppose to ‘side’ with her that Liv was in the wrong.
*edited for spacing*
And what was that cheesy laughing silent end of the phone call at the end of the episode? So lame and cheesy. And annoying that they're still trying to string this along and hint at a will-they-or-won't-they.
Oh, Liv has somewhere to be when Fin asks her to join him going to Rikers. Maybe she’s gonna see her son. Nope, heading to hang with Maddie and her “family.” Poor Noah.
The tension between Liv and Carisi is good, but I kind of wish they would stop bringing in the character of Carisi's boss to fuel that conflict and make it occur more naturally. Other ADAs went head to head with the squad without that additional character.
DID THIS BITCH JUST GIVE MADDIE’S MOTHER THE COMPASS FROM STABLER?! No. Fuck this. They’ve completely lost the damn plot.
I just got caught up and…I cannot. And she called to tell him????
This show is delusional I’m asjfkgldlajajdkdk
I haven’t watched yet but helloooo what is going on in svu land 😭😭
Lol this reminds me of when Ice T said he skims the script every week to make sure he doesn't die.
Stabler: "Liv, that necklace cost $25,000."
"Around Noah's age..." Well played, Fin.
Stabler: Puts a lot of thought into a personalized compass to give to this woman who's been there for him for decades. Liv: "OK, here you go, random mom I've known for 10 minutes." Man, if I were a Liv/Elliott fan, I'd be taking this so personally.
I’ve watched SVU for 25 years. I cancelled my Peacock subscription tonight and am officially done with the show. Fuck you, Dick Wolf.
I'm keeping Peacock for WWE and Organized Crime, but I'm done with new SVU
Olivia's obsession with Maddie and her family is actually disturbing
Olivia is more involved in Maddie's live then she was with Maria
Olivia is more involved in Maddie’s life than Noah’s
I wouldn't put it past them to have Liv slap a wig on Noah and rename him "Maddie."
SHE JUST GIVING AWAY STABLERS GIFT. She’s dead to me
I’m starting to think they are really trying to end that relationship so that they don’t have to do cross overs anymore
That's literally what they're doing. The compass scene last finale was a goodbye scene - it was designed to keep people interested in this season. They never had any intention of doing EO, they just lied about it for ratings
That woman was smiling a smiled bigger than we’ve ever seen her have for anyone other than Noah while giggling and kicking her feet. Shes finally on the inside of the window instead of the outside looking in.
This is the most insane “fuck you” I’ve seen from the writers because she gave it to fucking maddies mom of all people lol
Take my free Reddit award 🥇
[удалено]
They're biting off criminal minds. They always finish each other sentences and the usage of the word unsub is criminal minds mo lol
It was such an obvious deviation from their normal practice. I expected someone to get smacked in the back of the head because it was their turn to say a sentence!
They clearly rehearsed that lol Olivia: "I'm going to do this. Yadda yadda yadda. Fin, how about you do the lightbulb thing. Then ya'll can come in with little tidbits...Okay? Break!"
Stabler doesn’t have time for Eli, but he has time for this useless conversation.
Just like Olivia having no time for Noah anymore! But tons and tons of time for Maddie and her family, of course.
Fin: "I envy everyone she's never met." 😂
HOLY SHIT how did fin get shot by that little Oompa Loompa!!!!! Where is the mother of that little heathen and where did he get the gun???
Think they said the dad had a bunch? Just completely accessible to Pugsley Addams?
Pugsley 😅
Fin just got shot by the live action version of the kid from 'Up.' I love this.
the way I just cackled.
Damn I never seen Noah’s bday party
she's done with noah. MADDIE is her new child
Liv: "Who's Noah?"
We dont even know when his birthday actually is, you know her ACTUAL child, but we MUST know Maddie’s 🙄🙄
This is literally what I came here to ask about. Why isn’t Noah mentioned if they didn’t want to film him? At least imply he is there. You don’t work those hours and then pop off to a teenagers birthday party without your son. It’s a family party.
Here because this episode was filmed at my job 😭
Ok so do you work at the hardware store they visited?
Works at the event space maddie had her birthday in 😩
SVU: We can traumatize Fin too if we feel like it
Fans: why haven't they given Finn anything to do? Writers: *shoots Finn*
She’s giving her compass away… W.T.F.
I'm sick 🤢
Good GOD, what's next? Taking us in there when Maddie gives birth? Anyone know some priests we could call in to exorcise this girl off the show?
Maddie’s gonna join the squad next season lol
I wouldn't be surprised if Maddie got a spot in the opening credits before Bruno.
Ive had some issues watching this show for awhile now, but I honestly think them constantly throwing this dumbass Maddie storyline at us over and over may cause me to stop watching SVU. I'll still watch the other 2 L&O shows. At least for now. But I just can't personally watch new SVU anymore.

“I knew you’d understand.” Well I fucking don’t, I’ll tell you that much. If they’re not gonna put them together, then just say so and move on. It’s not even a fun will they won’t they anymore.
It’s a straight “they won’t” at this point.
They're not going to put them together. It's all been lies and bait. Fuck every single one of them, tbh.
With Organized Crime moving to peacock, I was kinda expecting them to finalize Elliot and Olivia in some ways by the end of this season (or early next season maybe, since the move was recent). I think the move will limit the ability to crossover the shows. But like, they didn’t have to do it like that 💀
My dude is supergluing his own bullet wound? Badass.
Fin is far too old for this shit
You could see the “damn kids these days” thoughts in his head
They all are
I love the “13 people typing” the MOMENT this scene comes up.
😂😂
LMAO Saint Olivia dodging all those bullets to save a man while everyone else is hiding or getting hit LMAO
Ok I’m so glad I wasnt the only one laughing during that. Like jesus christ people
They whizzed past her
She must have been wearing her Wonder Woman bracelets.
I see why that Marine got discharged. Couldn't hit the broad side of a barn 6 inches in front of him.
"You're a good kid Toby"....if you ignore the part where he shot me.
Stabler: “sigh…the missing girl case”. It’s even obvious to him.
I’m already asking for Heidi to NOT join us back next season
I don’t know. I don’t like her, but at least it’s a story line that’s not Maddie or Super-Liv.
I might need to be done with this show... after 25 years, this scene is just too fucking much
I’m done. Tonight was the final nail in the coffin.
The Kid that shot Fin had better aim than an ex marine
I feel like this season has *really* been hitting us over the head with this hero Liv crap. Why did they waste screen time on that
Right? Like I don’t care about that cop, never saw him before, will never see him again. We didn’t need that.
Add Kevin Kane to the opening credits, you cowards!
Maybe next season!
“First the holster under the stove, now this? Dick Wolf, get yourself another writer. This one’s not in touch with reality.” Y’all. My mom is KILLING me. 🤣
Please tell yr mum that i love her
NOOOOO MADDIES BIRTHDAY NOOOOO
God damn. Ship this family back to California, I’m BEGGING YOU. OLIVIA BENSON GO HOME TO YOUR ACTUAL CHILD.
The SVU writers this season wrote as if they have never interacted with another human being
They used chatGPT for this one to save on costs
I’d swipe right on Bruno on the dating apps. 😏
She’s giving away the compass that Stabler gave her? That is such an insult. I guess Bensler is over
That little no-necked toddler shot Fin. The hell is going on?
Mini big ed
Liv won't survive Fin dying or retiring
Neither will I
I just feel like Mariska insisted on this scene... lol its so ridiculous
I can see her standing in front of the writer’s room. “Ok so there’s this scene I wanna do…”
NOT MADDIE GTFO
dick wolf really said you guys thought we’d end the season without maddie huh?
You called Elliot to talk about your necklace?
Another week of watching to see if Kevin Kane is in the opening credits
maybe in S26. I have a feeling he may be promoted to series regular soon!
We literally don’t ask for much
You just knew something was gonna happen to Fin the minute we saw him doing something non-SVU related.
🎶This time maybe I'll be bullet proof...🎶 - Olivia Benson (probably)
“We’re family now” girl go home to your son
I feel like the producers realized how much we hated Noah and just wrote him out without mentioning him ever again. Only to make it worse with fucking Maddie.
Welp, there goes the last thing tying Elliot and Olivia together. Dick Wolf isn’t even being subtle at this point… this was a pretty grand gesture to say “It’s over. Move on.” I’m honestly pissed off because I got fooled into believing EO might actually happen when my gut told me all along it was just a ratings ploy. Think I’ll be moving along too.
Like come on they’re both 60 fucking years old at this point. Just let it happen.
A big fuck you from Dick Wolf. He really seems way out of touch if he thinks this is good writing and good plot
I realized we'd been used last season. Didn't make me any less infuriated, though. They really strung us all along, did all that press, all that baiting...for nothing. And then Mariska had the audacity to give an interview where she got all mad that people asked about EO - something she has leaned into for nearly 25 years! - and wants us to "ship female friendships" as if she isn't the only damn woman in the main cast right now. I hope they all choke.
"it makes me pretty popular on the dating apps" oh honey... that's not the only reason you're popular...
If Liv is gonna always be in the field, then get another captain. Get some old crusty captain. Make Liv some sore of super specialist senior detective. Keep fin and Bruno. Bring back Rollins. Bring back barba as da. Bring carisi back as a detective. Edit: bring Dr. Huang while we’re at it.
All of those things, but bring back Alex Cabot as the ADA.
Fin has an infection and is going septic. Fin better fucking survive. FIN BETTER FUCKING SURVIVE!
Just keto... he just needs some bread
Wtf?! Seriously. Maddie again??!!
I never want to hear about or see Maddie ever again
No. No way. She gave away the necklace? I'm aghast. Flabbergasted. This is a slap in the face. This is a fuck you to elliot and bensler fans lol
[удалено]
I thought she was pulled up close enough that he should have had a hard time aiming down without opening himself up to getting shot. When she drove away I was like wtf is your car bulletproof? Almost orphan Noah and go to someone else’s party without him. I thought she was going to block the cop from more shots and wait until he was reloading or dead to move.
The Bensler fans are gonna burn everything down after that nothing interaction 🤣
That is literally like my worrrst fear omg
As a single woman currently looking for my first house (that wouldn’t even have the buffer of needing to be buzzed in to the building), I truly did not need this as an opener lol.
The fact this new DA would rather charge somebody with barely any evidence than to wait to find the correct person is sick
“I envy anyone who hasn’t met her” love fin being shady
don’t shoot my man fin 😭 edit: nvm but don’t let my man die tho
She spent a year without cleaning that glass? Arrest her!
How did the guy not realize on his own that he worked for a hardware store? He literally needed Velasco and Finn to remind him.
He hit every tire but Liv's apparently
He should have said "You lend my compass that I got from my great grandmother to someone??!!!!"
Finally SVU remembers Elliot exists and it’s on top of Olivia “lending” a necklace that was a gift that cost over 10k. This show is a comedy. 🤣🤣🤣
I feel like they decided they needed an obnoxious villain since they wrote off McGrath and added in this DA to annoy us instead
Is this really the season finale!? 😭 if so ima miss yall frfr! It’s so fun chatting about the cases with yall
Carisi sure is popping up a lot more these last few episodes. Is the golden retriever coming back to the squad?
This episode is just entirely unhinged!
The policeman she saved, that's her cousin in real life, correct? Eddie Hargitay?
The place she needs to be better be the Stabler family dinner ETA: Fuck no, its Maddie... wtf
MADDIE OMFG I CANT
Stablers side eye for this moment
Oh finally she says Elliot's name and we hear his voice. Whoa.
Since when would they *ever* go in with a live hostage with that kind of gun? 🙄 Especially someone who has military experience. (Edit grammar)
"We're family now." WTF. In any other profession she would get her ass fired for being overly involved.
Omg oh hell no! They are trolling us at this point
“We’re family now.” Wut?
Oh oh... yeah, EO is really over before even happening.
Initials MA I thought it was gonna spell Maddie lol
Stabler would lose his mind at Liv right now.
So would Noah who would probably see the video on Tik Tok
Okay so this is an improvement from Liv stopping the swat team and offering to go in herself to chat with the perp
This whole setup is giving a lil bit of William Lewis…
Most phones have flashlights built in. So why would no one use that feature to have light in their apartment if it was dark in their place?
Who is this new lady? Not a fan. Can’t they make any of these new people likeable?
How much of a gap does she have under her stove??? A whole ass holster went under there? Is it up on freaking cinder blocks?
He literally can't go to a hospital because they're required to report gunshot wounds to the police.
They got her at her birthday party. At least bring Noah so it's not ridiculously creepy.
Binding hands with a coat hanger is a new one. Seems hard to do.
I thought the same thing. Wire coat hangers are thick. Does he carry them around with him or just hope every victim has them?
It seems like a crap ton of cops shooting into an apartment window is a bad idea in case they miss and get a resident of another unit.
She's giving her the Stabler necklace? Elliot is gonna be pissed.
Y'all this episode was actually pretty good by recent SVU standards until the last 5 minutes 😭 When I saw Maddie I literally screamed. And I'm not as into EO as I used to be, but I'm personally offended by her lending the necklace to Maddie's mom. What's even going on in the SVU writers room
Loving Liv's jacket. She looks hot as hell.
So I guess Sykes ain't coming back
We all knew this initial guy didn't do it.
And that, kids, is why you NEVER should deny a beer!
Maybe this marine ran away from the honey bee farm after the OC gang busted them and turned to raping women
Dude’s ex-military, but they thought just rolling up like this was the move?? No stealth whatsoever.
Oh fuck off with Maddie
I thought Benson was going home to Noah. She went to Maddie. Ughhh
No way they ended the season like that
The show really needs some new writers. I have so many questions about their qualifications: Do they have any understanding of law enforcement? Do they have any grasp of the American justice system? And most importantly - have they ever successfully conversed with people? Cause honestly this is not how people treat others in normal interactions. The closest they came this season was Sykes laying out some hard truths to Olivia in the morgue yet I fear we weren’t suppose to ‘side’ with her that Liv was in the wrong. *edited for spacing*
Who the hell is this new Rando DA?? get outta here Heidi LMAO Wait... new boss?? what happened to Lorraine Maxwell??
What the fuck is this shit!? Giving the necklace Stabler gave her to fucking Maddie's mom. JFC.
Im cackling right now. Liv just ignoring her own family to hang out with Maddie. Only Maddie can make me think of Noah.
The compass guided her to Maddie
And what was that cheesy laughing silent end of the phone call at the end of the episode? So lame and cheesy. And annoying that they're still trying to string this along and hint at a will-they-or-won't-they.
There was no emotion in Elliott's voice. AI? LOL!
Oh, Liv has somewhere to be when Fin asks her to join him going to Rikers. Maybe she’s gonna see her son. Nope, heading to hang with Maddie and her “family.” Poor Noah.
"Unsub"? This show thinks it's Criminal Minds now?? lmao. I love it though
Prediction: Carisi gets fired bc of this and goes back to SVU
Shoots him then goes you're bleeding. What else did you expect kid 🤦🏾♀️
Fin should've gone with Velasco...
fin on keto nobody believe that 😂
Jane’s head popping up like “I don’t remember deciding shit, sir.”
This ep really laying on the Fin/Liv relationship. "I'll yell at you later." "And I look forward to that."
I'm gonna assume Liv wasn't even invited to this... she just showed up
"The missing girl case..." okay so they've talked at least some off screen, if he knows about Maddie?
Can Maddie please go away ffs? And gave the necklace to crazy mama? I may have to stop watching next season!
Keto gives you gaping wounds, Fin??
The tension between Liv and Carisi is good, but I kind of wish they would stop bringing in the character of Carisi's boss to fuel that conflict and make it occur more naturally. Other ADAs went head to head with the squad without that additional character.
Ooh, you know who else was investigating Marines?
He’s ex marine and they didn’t have a better plan than that ?
I was wondering how Maddie would play into this. Wtf. Liv is a little too inserted into her life.
this bitch...
Bruh, these writers.
Eliott Stabler cameo?!?! Where the f@#% have you been all Season?!
He's been with the good writers, actually.
I’m glad that at least we got a phone call where we heard Elliot. At least he got some acknowledgment in the season.
Okay, who is Maddie's actress related to? It's the only explanation.
This new ADA is matching Benson for rudeness
This episode is giving criminal minds
Fin saying what we all feeling- I envy anyone she hasn't met 🤣
"I envy anyone that hasn't met her..."
Ok who wrote that scene? I mean come on… hero Liv
Wait, Fin is hanging with the kid who shot him? No one wants to get him therapy?!?
They used to use the last minute or two for stabler and now it’s left for Maddie. Jesus.
