The Best Bensler Moment In Law & Order: SVU Season 22

This one should come as no surprise as Olivia and Elliot's most memorable moment of "Law & Order: SVU" Season 22 came in Episode 9 ("Return of the Prodigal Son"). It had been 10 long years without a Bensler moment, or even the promise of one at that. So the second Olivia and Elliot come face to face in the show's cold open, one of the great Bensler moments is born. The pair haven't seen each other in a decade, and they battle with not just the emotions of their reunion but the fact that Kathy Stabler (Isabel Gillies) is fighting for her life after being the victim of a car bomb.

As Kathy is loaded into the ambulance, Elliot screams out, "Liv," and you can see Olivia's soul leave her body. She whispers her old partner's name, and the two approach one another but don't embrace. The moment is so tense and jaw-dropping, which says a lot given everything we've witnessed over the years on "SVU." This moment is the beginning of Bensler 2.0, and while Season 22 was not smooth sailing for the duo, it looks like clear skies are ahead — we think.
