I finally saw the two hour SVU premiere. Bad enough they got rid of the actors but they gave them such bad endings. Okay, I don't care about Kat's ending since they never properly developed her into a character in the first place but man, they did as bad by Barnes and the NYPD did Garland.

That's the truth, they violate rules, are noticeably incompetent in confrontations and FIGHT DA SYSTEM - spouting off their mouth about hit.
Olivia as a chief, in the last episode - just as Noah gets lost or kidnapped yet again. I hated the Noah threads as I regarded them as degrading to career women who all over sudden lost their minds over the biological clock. Same with Blondy and her multiple babies. I know the actress was pregnant but I would have just married her to a good guy, and shuttled the kids and hubby into the background.
If/when the show ends, I expect one or both of them to retire from police work for good. They might even surprise us by having Elliot do time. People looking the other way for them isn't unbelievable for me given many cops do things just as bad or worse before suffering consequences (if they do at all). Derek Chauvin had 18 complaints against during his police career from 2001 to 2020.
They can become a couple of officers in a small town in upstate NY - oh, wait - that's that Kellerman's cop did in her books.
Elliot maybe but not Liv. She's in this for the long run, her destiny is deputy chief and maybe even chief.
Plus, I always thought the optics of it was interesting. If Elliot never left, I don't think she ever would have gotten a single promotion, let alone multiple. An outsider looking in can extrapolate, right or wrong, Elliot was dragging her down with his antics. In this I thought it mirrored Goren and Eames from L&O:CI a bit. Once they were done being partners (Goren eventually retired to teach), Eames got two promotions, unless she just skipped over being sergeant and went straight to lieutenant, which is even better.

Nick Amaro, colloquially called Stabler Jr./Stabler Lite, will be returning for SVU's 500th episode this October 21st.
Agreed.
But yeah, I got a sneaking suspicion his return for this episode has to do with, well besides it being the 500th ep, Rollins/Carisi. Remember Rollins and Amaro dated (well, more like friends with benefits) right before he left. There was even a question as to whether he was the father of her first child or not (turned out to be Lt. Murphy).
