‘Law & Order’ Fans Feel Betrayed by Absence of Stabler and Benson Moment in Finales
The Law & Order finales did not quite deliver the Stabler-Benson moments fans were really hoping [...]
El and Liv are going to be 90 in nursing homes in wheelchairs before they discuss the letter and their feelings for each other. 100 when they kiss. I mean, damn. #OrganizedCrime #SVU #SVUxOC pic.twitter.com/dIKTgspUXy

During all the chaos in the Organized Crime finale, there was never a moment for Benson and Stabler alone. We still don't know what was in the contents of the letter Stabler gave Benson at the start of the season. Considering that Organized Crime's first season ran just eight episodes, it's possible that the relationship between Benson and Stabler ended up on the cutting room floor because the season was so condensed. The coronavirus pandemic forced several delays during production, which resulted in a small episode total.
BUT WHAT WAS IN THE LETTER? @lawandordertv @WolfEnt @Chris_Meloni @Mariska #SVU #OrganizedCrime #Bensler

Thankfully, both Organized Crime and Special Victims Unit will be back next season. That will not make fans feel any better though, considering that new episodes will not air until September or October. Scroll on to see how fans reacted to the non-moments between Stabler and Benson.
"Not happy we have to continue to wait even longer to find out what was written in the letter though," one fan wrote. "And the letter! What was in the letter?? They're not just partners, everyone knows that! I have so many questions," another disappointed fan wrote.
And we still don’t know what was in that damn letter. #OrganizedCrime pic.twitter.com/iGeFOEFFyO

"So you're telling me...we have to wait another four months to find out what's in the letter?! GOD DAMNIT I NEED ANSWERS!!" another frustrated viewer wrote.

Well I got myself excited for nothing extremely sad. Instead of a deep meaningful conversation, talking about the letter, a Moondance, a kiss.. we got none of those. Well here's to hoping OC saves some of this! #SVU22SeasonFinale #OrganizedCrime

"I love how we are at the season finales of SVU & OC, and we still haven't talked about that letter or that I love you. When are we gonna talk about that because I need answers," one fan wrote.
