Much of the premiere saw Olivia Benson dealing with a misunderstanding with her son’s school. After a bruise appeared on the child’s arm, many teachers thought that Olivia was being abusive.
Now, anyone who knows Olivia knows that she would never hurt her son, and it looked as though things had been straightened out by the episode’s end. Unfortunately, the past came knocking on Olivia’s door.
Ex-boyfriend Brian Cassidy (Dean Winters) showed up on Olivia’s doorstep not to get back together, but to inform her that he was investigating her for child abuse.
Fans Were NOT Happy

When this user saw that Brian Cassidy was the one at the door, they thought that Olivia was in for a good time.
Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case, and she’s being investigated instead.
