Also Benson getting TRIGGERED this episode. Like Livy had to deal with Noah springing a half brother on her, Noah using the word real to describe a brother he didn't know and not her. Having the brother's family be domestic rich heteronormative couple while she's a single mom. Having Noah want to stay with them and not her, even for the night. Having to talk about Johnny D.
(No doubt all she can think about is the stuff with Shelia)
Being filmed in a state of undress.
Letting her guard down to talk about her Trauma with Elliot with Amanda... and not just letting her guard down but letting it all the way down (Liv doesn't strike me as someone who gets that tipsy and that open easily)
Only for Amanda to reveal that she's leaving too.
Like for the love of god, can someone PLEASE just finally choose Olivia Benson.
