Stabler's Mom Meets Benson for the First Time | Law & Order: SVU | NBC

[@raea3588]

I really hope they bring back more of Ellen Burstyn for the next season. She was perfect to be Elliot's Mama. Every scene between them is gold and I love how she accepts Olivia in her son and children's lives. There's not many who can hold their own in a scene with Ellen Burstyn which is one of the many reasons I have such respect for Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay!

[@sarahhejab6596]

I'm in love with Olivia's hairstyles. That pic was so cute.

[@Lordquantronus]

Fact: This was the actual senior photo of Chris Meloni.

[@JohnGreyAnderson]

ALL those were Meloni's real pictures. from little kid to High school

[@Tia-8120]

I really love when Olivia said, “maybe God remembered how cute you were as a carrot”. 🥰

[@MCMNasty2]

This episode provided some much needed insight into Stabler many, many seasons in. So amazing this show is still on and these characters are still around to tell their stories.

[@mikebasil4832]

Last night I re-watched my favourite Ellen Burstyn movie: The Spitfire Grill. She’s a great actress and I’m glad that she could be in the Law & Order universe.

[@sarahhejab6596]

If you love Ellen Burstyn watch the episodes of Mom.

[@ingekussing1720]

I had forgotten about The Spitfire Grill. Loved it when I saw it back then.

[@mikebasil4832]

@@ingekussing1720 I saw The Spitfire Grill with my grandmother once and so it’s very special for me too.

[@arlenemcdonald224]

Wow…I thought I was the only person who saw Spitfire Grill.

[@wendyhardin5259]

Love that movie!

[@SeptimusScholar]

Props to this lady, I want to hug her myself....she's carrying so much pain

[@Amanda-ex6em]

Ellen Burstyn is such a fabulous actress, she breaks my heart into a thousand pieces here

[@ferrisulf]

I'm not bipolar, but have been on medications like lithium for other psychological issues. The research they did to describe what these meds can feel like and how brilliantly Ellen Burstyn played the character really moved me.

[@johnheppenstall4904]

Ellen Burstyn is just gold.

[@MsTinkerbelle87]

This scene is lovely!

[@JazmineMckinnon]

Just always felt so sorry for mum as she truly loved n cared for her son n wasn't her fault for being ill instead of son being understand n trying to get his mum help he was too busy being embarrassed

[@smedeiros86]

Olivia really drove to New Jersey to help his partner's daughter.

I forget I am watching a show when Ellen Burstyn starts crying. I feel like I am sitting in the booth next to Olivia watching a weathered worn woman weep.

Stabler's mother said "the gun went off" so did she fire it, or did her cop husband?

[@liamroberts1458]

She took the gun, and accidentally shot at her husband, and Elliott (when he was a toddler).

[@GABRIELA-ACEVEDO.]

Her other daughter, Reagan, on the other hand 👿

[@jenbirge1]

Best comment I've seen in a long time!

[@hunbun28]

What episode was this

[@kristinebrauer2292]

Swing, Season 10, episode 3.

[@francostevo9939]

Every time I watch this episode on tv I am always uncomfortable of seeing those pictures of a younger teenage Elliot stabler. Uncomfortable because of knowing what that little teenager grows into. I’m not going to lie but Elliot Stabler not only annoys me sometimes but I am also afraid of him.

[@fredfriou2231]

C'est quel saison ?

[@irshgrl500]

10; episode 3- Swing

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

What is her issue?

[@ciara3788]

Wdym "what's her issue"

[@cche16]

she's bipolar and it was passed down to elliott's eldest daughter kathleen. she got in trouble with the law and refused medicine/therapy so olivia went to stabler's mom since she's also bipolar to talk her into getting help. elliot's mom also got help.

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

@@ciara3788 Exactly what I said!!

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

@cche16 Olivia is trying to talk the grand daughter into getting help? Or is she trying to talk the mother into getting help? Sounds like mom is clueless.

[@ciara3788]

@@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet she's trying to get Elliots mom to try help kathleen

[@madelinebazin4272]

Ep ?

[@taychanel3099]

Please, what episode is this?

[@kaitie210]

Season 10. The episode is called Swing.

[@angelcrowder9857]

Why does Olivia scare Kathy?

[@robertsonayishia]

I think because olivia is a beautiful woman and elliot spends a lot of his time with her.

[@joewhitehead3]

Cus she loved Elliot

[@bfettrules1239]

Because every straight male in the world would easily let Mariska Hargitay give them an STD while impregnating her. She was smokin’ hot in her day. Sorry for the poor choice of words.

[@smedeiros86]

In one episode Kathy tells Olivia it hurts to know that Elliot like to spend more time with Olivia than with his family.

[@shayduncan7328]

I think is because Olivia is damn sexy

[@francostevo9939]

1:35. Is his father implying that really? That at least he isn’t dressed as an actual fruit or is he implying it in a homosexual kind of way?

[@jadefire1814]

Both. I think that's the "joke". Cops in the 60s (the time of Elliott's father) were hyper-masculine as a general rule. Used to be a lot of homophobia.

[@winsomefoster]

What did the mother do that was so wrong for her son to neglect her.

[@Tia-8120]

Severe mental illness that she was in denial of; also, she shot a gun in front of Elliot and his father, among other things

[@joeminier1736]

Mental illness that she refused to get help from. And it negatively affected his childhood

[@DemLyons-l4p]

Season 10 episode 3

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

[@Vada246]

She is really tiny in organized crime

WHO CARES ??

[@Tia-8120]

Anyone who bothered to comment I guess😏

[@SupaEMT134]

This is *_old._* Just like the entire cast of SVU! They need a refresh!

[@francostevo9939]

So because they are older that means it shouldn’t be seen or revisited? Older people shouldn’t be ignored in media. SVU is the most popular law and order section. This coming from a guy who just got into the show 2 yrs ago.

[@dreamsteddybearsmaster]

It's more than looks these days... you gotta have talent and people age naturally too.

[@tiffanyc9730]

LOL you should watch the regular Law and Order instead of SVU. Everyone there is new. Just don't watch SVU.

[@lanabanana2520]

This is so intimate ❤️‍🩹 I love how they brought Ellen back in these recent seasons.
