Now fans hoping for some insight into whether Dick Wolf’s team of writers will finally push Benson and Stabler into a relationship 23 years in the making, sorry, but we don’t have any hot pipping tea to share. With the smiles and nods in the new promotional material, perhaps that’s all water under the bridge. (For Benson in particular, she seems to have already let go of any animosity given she's made appearances on Organized Crime since the incident.) Benson’s department was peeved the organized crime unit seemingly lied to her about her rape victim getting justice.

This is significant to fans that have been following along with both shows, because the last time the two squads officially worked together on a case in a crossover event ( Law & Order: SVU season 23 episode 3 and Law & Order: Organized Crime season 2 episode 3), the teams didn’t end on a great note. What do you say, partner?" In response, Stabler smiles and Sergeant Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt) is seen nodding in agreement. It’s also worth noting that in the Organized Crime trailer, Benson says "I’d like to combine forces and work this case together. If we had to guess based on the promos and the episode synopses, the SVU detectives are perhaps working a case with multiple kidnappings by one suspect that brings them to Stabler’s door for help. However, in the Organized Crime video, after Benson says the words, the scene cuts to a different woman who is also taken aback by the news. In each clip, it looks like she is saying that phrase to the same woman. Having paid close attention to the two trailers, Benson utters the words "your daughter has been kidnapped" in both.
