A crossover episode featuring โSVUโ stars Mariska Hargitay (Benson) and Christopher Meloni, who will return as Stabler in the new spinoff โLaw & Order: Organized Crime," will air April 1 on NBC.
The promo features throwback scenes of Benson and Stabler from their time together on โSVU,โ set to Benson's voice-over from an old episode.
โWeโve worked together a long time,โ Benson says. โI can anticipate what heโs thinking, what heโs gonna do. Yeah, we have a great rapport.โ
The cryptic promo mostly consists of these flashbacks, but one quick scene at the end teases the moment of the duo's upcoming reunion, when Benson is working a crime scene and turns around after hearing Stablerโs voice call out, โLiv!โ The stunned look on Benson's face says it all!
The tantalizing teaser video sent โSVUโ fans into a tizzy, to say the least.
Iโve been left speechless, words still havenโt come from my mouth yet, I just been muttering incoherent things since the ending of the episode and this promo ๐ฅ๐ฅบ

โIโve been left speechless, words still havenโt come from my mouth yet, I just been muttering incoherent things since the ending of the episode and this promo,โ one fan commented on Twitter.
"Iโve watched this an ungodly amount of times and ugly cried too early in the morning to deal with this," another fan said.
โYโall need to quit playing with my emotions,โ another person tweeted.

Meloni and Hargitay starred together in โLaw & Order: SVUโ from 1999 until 2011, when Meloni left the show. Ever since then, fans have been dying to see Benson and Stabler together again, missing their always intense (yet always platonic) on-screen chemistry.
The โSVUโ stars have been dropping some breadcrumbs about their planned reunion over the past few months, sharing photos of themselves together on set along with maddeningly vague captions like, โWe are a little bit closer,โ and โItโs all happeningโฆโ
Now, with the crossover date finally confirmed, fans just need to hold tight for another month โฆ and possibly make arrangements for how they plan to emotionally cope with the reunion.
โWell Iโm definitely calling in sick on April 2 because Iโm going to need a full 24 hours to process this,โ one fan tweeted.
