The long-awaited and much-hyped return of Elliot Stabler to Law & Order: SVU also delivered the reunion with Olivia Benson, which meant Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay sharing the screen again.
Warning: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD for Stabler’s return episode of Law & Order: SVU, called “Return of the Prodigal Son.”
“Return of the Prodigal Son” delivered a reunion that was messy at best, but I wouldn’t change a thing about it.
While I was one of many fans who were more than ready to see Stabler back, SVU had to deal with the circumstances of how and why he left when it came to reuniting him with Benson.
