@livbecketts Olivia is just vocalizing things she never would've before now. Both this kind of stuff, but also asking Elliot to send a postcard. It's opening a door to parts of her she has never really let anyone into so explicitly

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts And he's undoubtedly so proud of her, albeit confused as they have never had that really brought up until now. There's so much about the job they need to unpack with each other to see where they both have been in those years apart, as that's New Parts of the person they love

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@twistyscrubs There's also the difference of Tucker saying "Noah is your focus" vs Elliot's explicit inclusion of Noah since the beginning

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts I wonder if Elliot asking her why she chose to be captain will make her think about the path that led her there (different than her own evaluating of last year) and be able to answer the question to him in the future. Since it goes with "you haven't asked about me" from OC era

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@twistyscrubs It's been reiterated since last year by Mariska that plans are to go to 30 (and that was brought up a couple times this year, too, that Dick and her agree that's how far it goes), so I definitely feel like this is the plan they have in mind. They just needed a place to start it

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts Yes, definitely! You put it better into words than I could with that.

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts Precisely all of this. I tend to think about it a lot and the episode got me thinking about it more. Just overall how much of who he was influenced Liv back then, and how much they grew as detectives together but then differently after he left and she became captain

[Ray @Rayne290656]

You ever think about the times Elliot was passively suicidal

[Hannah Riley Fernandez @hannahcrileyy]

don’t worry a guy named markwayne is gonna fix it

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts These are things they've long since needed to address, before they can bring themselves to finally go into where there's a point of no return

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@livbecketts Thiiiiis. They got a room and let it out (did what Amanda told them but not the way people wanted)

[c @twistyscrubs]

"18 months" is dumb(inaccurate), but she states he's been on leave that long. She hasnt *seen* him since the funeral, he owes her a couple calls. We know on SVU she's called, he's responded. Liv knew where he was, where he lives. It's lazy communication, but not no communication.

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@ASamantha I never knew this was, either??? Did I live under a rock or was it just never mentioned ever--

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@LuluMaggs 😂 One of my friends is a baseball fan and she's read me some of the crazy stuff that's been said on baseball twitter. Whooo, boy, it's wild there

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@LuluMaggs Like people going into his comment section is??? Why

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@LuluMaggs To each their own, i personally just think there's a difference between criticism and what's going on, it's not just M or C, they're attacking others like Corey. Who isn't even really involved here

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@ASamantha Not blaming anyone or hating anyone but the vibes felt off

[Ray @Rayne290656]

@LuluMaggs She did say every chance she could get and things can change between the months as the script was written in June/July! But no, I'm not saying anyone has to like it 😂 I'm just tired at the abuse I've seen everyone get today (yours is criticism, which I appreciate!)

[Ray @Rayne290656]

The amount of grief Elliot carries now compared to the first season of OC is vastly different. He's lost so many friends and family, he's watching his mom already being gone while still being alive. It isn't surprising he's relapsed into bad habits
