I love when characters reveal things in the interrogation room and the other characters can’t react but inside they’re “WTF YOU NEVER TOLD ME THIS?!?!!”

[@johnshafer7214]

I feel like his character was trying to figure out his new department that he was unfamiliar with. All the characters had adjustments from the beginning of their svu careers. Benson struggled when she partnered with Stabler and Fin struggled when he came and partnered with Munch. They became better over time.

[@josephroessler4379]

Carsi is way better then Nick 👋💥👋🤜💥🤛

[@mani-jn4fs]

I like how when she said,"You didn't make that up, did you? That really happened to you didn't it?" The face Carisi gave her I would've done the same thing-

[@krisstinawilson4461]

I love how the second Carisi came out of the room Rollins knew the story was real and after Fin's joke said it. And though they don't talk about it, it's clear that Carisi is touched that Rollins knew that it was a real story.

[@user-ve5ln5le9y]

Yeah. She knows him well. One reason why it’s no surprise they became so close and slowly fell in love…❤️

[@lumdug22]

Carisi is how you do character development. Take note modern television 🙌🙌

[@joewhitehead3]

What happened in this episode is exactly why things like physical or emotional abuse need to be taught & have a light shed on it early in life. Otherwise, it can escalate, & you’ll end up like Kyle’s father & his family

[@marshaloiscamillephilpotts9608]

I love the handsome, talented and interesting Peter Scanavino, he is a very good actor and he does excellent work as Dominick "Sonny" Carisi, Jr on Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and I love his character development too, his first appearance on the show he was perpetrator and victim, a few seasons later he came in as a detective then and he should have been recurring and then he became a regular and while working full-time as detective he went to law school at night, he graduated with honours, he passed the New York State Bar Examinations, he quit the squad and he is now an Assistant District Attorney ADA of Manhattan, his character has quite a development and he is the best.

[@londonvela1755]

Marsha Lois Camille Philpotts dang that was so descriptive 😳 good job?

[@kemistree.]

I'll admit, I was a little worried when Carisi was introduced as a super Christian character (no offense, I've just had a complicated personal history with Christianity), but I have so much respect for him now. Whenever he's on the screen, I shout out, "that's my boy!" and everyone watching SVU with me knows I've adopted Carisi as my son.

[@shuzemeblue2750]

Honestly I was scared on how they would protray his character due to my past experiences with christians but I love him so much

[@harleyquinnaponte7892]

Elliot too

[@lilwoowoowoozie9242]

1:07 Benson's like 'where are you going with this Carisi??...'😂😂😂

[@chloeflowers-3967]

I adore Carisi. He needs to be protected. He's so endearing, he honestly makes my heart melt and I got tears in my eyes just listening to him.

[@LillyTaylor89]

a hug for Carisi

[@mxgirl918]

This episode was so tragic and realistic in the sense that many bullies have been bullied themselves (aka abused). It is a vicious cycle that is difficult to break.

[@glori8163]

4:02 His face after she says that is ughhh 💔😭

[@CalebDix]

The mom during that episode really pissed me off! Their dad just continuously abused his sons and the mom just sat there and let it happen and just defended him when he got caught!

[@Lily-kl1of]

Yeah, she didn’t come off as sympathetic at all. I mean I understand that it’s hard to leave an abusive spouse, but she just came off as so pathetic. Meanwhile her oldest son risked getting beaten to death in order to prove their father’s abuse and save his younger brother from prison.

[@zzzzzzzzzzzk]

You think it's that easy to take a stand like that?

[@ikrammunye6723]

Ahhhhhhh this made me cry so much watching how Carisi just opened up to this innocent and vulnerable kid

[@Lily-kl1of]

You know the character I liked in this episode was the oldest brother. He tried to convince his brother to tell the truth but his stupid mother kept cutting him off. So then he provoked his father and risked getting beaten to death so the man’s true nature would get caught on tape, and it was all for his brother. Now That is something great. Something to be proud of. Something that makes a boy a man. Not using violence against a more sensitive boy to toughen him, but be courageous and selfless enough to put your life on the line for the people you love.

[@mckayleem3098]

Remember when we all thought Carisi was just the dorky loose cannon? Ah, good times...

[@sarahwalker4191]

When Carisi came on the show, I didn't even like him at all. But now I respect the guy. This episode made me cry at the end

[@misswarren7924]

[@ryanmoore9276]

Carisi has turned into my favorite character, good actor!!

[@paragshah637]

I really liked the acting of Lincoln Melcher who played Kyle Turner on Law and Order SVU. He will be a good character in the future

[@BookBird2963]

He plays Griff Jones on Bunk'd, if you're interested.

[@hayleysantos3648]

BookBird 2963 And he also was in jail

[@valentinahaddad8452]

I cried when carisi and rollins fought i would rather see them happy together🙁

[@xyPERSON]

So would I but unfortunately life doesn't always give us happy endings. If it did then Christopher Meloni's character Detective Elliot Stabler would have stayed happily married to his wife instead of their marriage crumbling. I agree that it's upsetting when two good characters cannot stay together or be happy together but again... it reflects what happens in real life.

[@audreybenony8264]

What episode?

Carisi’s story was so real, I almost felt like something tragic happened to the actor in real life

[@misslis25]

poor carisi:(

[@xyPERSON]

You might pity him but I don't. Obviously that painful experience helped him to become strong and independent as an adult and he's a darn good cop.

[@ruthgomes3329]

my BABY, poor Carisi, he's such an interesting and loving character, i simply love him and it happened like automatically, not kidding. I'm so excited to know more about him and his story. edit: lol no way i'm wasting my time with those questioning me calling Carisi "baby", but simple explanation to this is 1- i don't sexualize my favs; 2- imma just gonna keep treating him as a baby, wanting to protect and all because he's freaking cute and i'm soft for him.

[@nowankersallowed2115]

The reality of when secrets literally cause further deeper unnecessary hurts. When people turn a blind eye they allow these things to continue. So many people have suffered unnecessarily due to old wounds. Things that they dismiss in their own minds. If I pretend it didn't happen it didn't happen. If I don't acknowledge it.. it doesn't exist. However just like the deferred pain of a physical injury there's a deferred pain of the heart and mind.

He mentioned at one point he came close to playing pro himself (presumably the NHL.) which is why he was pushing them to be hockey players. And he just seemed to assume that the middle son would make it to the NHL. The oldest son was right. He was a loser
