* BackForTheDead: Kathy Stabler returns after a decade, only to die of a ruptured spleen.
* BeardOfSorrow: Dickie Stabler grows a full-beard in the eleven years since he last appeared, just in time for his mother's death.
* TheBusCameBack: Creator/ChristopherMeloni returns as Elliot Stabler after his last appearance in the Season 12 finale "[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS12E24Smoked Smoked]]". Along with him are his wife Kathy (“[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS12E23Delinquent Delinquent]]”) and his children Kathleen (“[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS12E9Gray Gray]]”) and Dickie (“[[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS11E8Turmoil Turmoil]]”). (The other three children appear in the second half of the crossover, but not in the ''SVU'' portion.)
* CallBack: Among the many references to [[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS12E24Smoked the Season 12 finale]], Olivia chews Elliot [[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS13E1ScorchedEarth for not saying goodbye to her personally]] and we also see a flashback to [[Recap/LawAndOrderSpecialVictimsUnitS9E9Paternity Olivia and Kathy’s car accident]] when Olivia arrives on the scene of the bombing.
* ExternalCombustion: It was meant for Elliot.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: Elliot apologizing to Olivia for abruptly leaving could easily be interpreted as Creator/ChristopherMeloni apologizing to the show's fans over the same reason.

* SecondaryCharacterTitle: The title obviously refers to Elliot. While he was the show's original co-protagonist, he's been apart from the main cast for a decade and is only credited as "SpecialGuest Star" here for this to count as ProtagonistTitle.
* TryingNotToCry: Olivia is visibly moved after finally venting out on Elliot over his abrupt and unceremonious departure but struggles to keep it together. It got so bad that she couldn't find the hospital exit despite it being near her.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** Olivia finally vents on Elliot for leaving abruptly and not even contacting her for a decade.
** After the perp talks ill about Stabler's wife, Stabler is about to rough him up. Olivia stops him and calls him out on his behavior.
