Also, the kids are in Staten Island. Finally, Nonno and Nonna Carisi get to spend time with the kiddos. But WTF with the writers and the second anniversary thing? The math is not mathing. I guess Noah grows like two years every season, and Nicky is going to be an eternal baby. Also, Kelli and Peter should know better. I don’t blame my babies, but please.

I loved that Carisi was the one who got the guy that attacked them in their house. I guess once a cop, always a cop. And it was sexy af, not gonna lie.

I have mixed feelings about the therapy session with Huang. On one side, I loved that he talked about her childhood. Jim and Kim Rollins, I hope you step on a Lego every single night. But on the other hand, these freaking new writers don’t know their characters. Rollins didn’t change jobs because she was running or because she couldn’t stay still. She left SVU (FU DW) because she chose herself and her family, because she chose to be still, because she learned she could slow down. Maybe the job in intelligence was her need to move on, but she did it when she was ready, when she knew her family and the life she was building were solid.

I felt like they were implying that she wasn’t happy, and I don’t know. She has worked so hard for the life she’s built with her kids and Carisi. As I said, mixed feelings.

Amanda going rogue always makes great television. That fight between her and Olivia? Chef kiss. Saint Olivia got clocked.

Now Henry. In a season with very underwhelming villains, I really thought Messner was going to be the villain of the season, and honestly it was just so… pathetic. They could have done so many things with him. I’m sad they went that way. I guess we’ll have to wait for the Season 30 conclusion of this saga.

And I know this might be controversial, but the ending was so rushed that it felt anticlimactic. I’ll say it. It needed more Carisi. If this is the Sonny centric episode of the season, I’m going to be really sad, because he got like five minutes of screen time.
