Fans of Law & Order: SVU waited for a Benson-Stabler kiss, but it didn't happen. After a gang attack left her injured, Benson asked Stabler to pick up her son. Later, they got close enough to kiss, but Benson pulled away and said she wasn't ready for a relationship. Meloni thinks they'll end up together eventually. "I used to not [think so], but I think we're all trying to still figure out what the exact steps are and what that endgame is," he said. The episode ended with Benson turning Stabler down, but fans remain hopeful for a future romance.
