** A blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, also from "October Surprise": When the squad receives a dick pick from [[spoiler: Alex Muñoz]] (meant for Amanda), Fin holds up one hand to shield his eyes, and the other to block his view of the monitor, while Nick looks away. Meanwhile, Barba keeps staring straight ahead at the screen with very little change in his expression. Yes, it could have just been shock from seeing his childhood friend behave that way... or perhaps it was because [[AmbiguouslyBi Barba might have experience with seeing the privates of other men.]]

** Barba's actor, Creator/RaulEsparza, is not only bisexual in real life, but has also indicated that [[https://www.eonline.com/news/696074/it-s-absolutely-time-law-and-order-svu-introduced-a-new-gay-character-so-where-are-they he'd be fine with the character being revealed as LGBT+.]][[note]]In the linked interview, Peter Scanavino says the same thing as well, in regards to Carisi.[[/note]]

** Barba's [[FoeYayShipping argument]] with Amaro in "October Surprise" launched a ''lot'' of shipping, given that they were [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/d2f9c816705e993f9c80ab40e714cd72/5acce637d72651ea-8e/s1280x1920/f08e982ca018f8063675d2ca3c359689cf94b77f.jpg in close quarters in an elevator together]], got ''way'' into each other's personal space, and were arguing heatedly [[LatinLover in Spanish]]. It also helps that despite his anger, Nick was genuinely concerned about how Barba's actions would come back to haunt him.

Added DiffLines:

** "Genes" has Carisi finally snap at one of Barba's snarky remarks. He chews him out and [[FoeYayShipping they start arguing]] (in the middle of the courthouse no less), similiar to the example above with Barba and Amaro in the elevator.

Added DiffLines:

** "Contrapasso" has a moment where Barba seems to be mildly impressed with Carisi's legal knowledge:
--->'''Carisi:''' Okay, well, how about we charge the three women with obstruction?
--->'''Barba:''' For asserting their Fifth Amendment rights?
--->'''Carisi:''' After they lied to us and obfuscated our investigation.
--->'''Barba:''' Obfuscate. ''[smirks; in a sultry tone of voice]'' Yummy.

Added DiffLines:

** In "Unholiest Alliance", there's Barba sympathizing with Carisi's plight. Bear in mind, whenever the two share a scene, Barba usually says something sarcastic or insulting to Carisi; here he could could see how much this bothered Carisi and instead of putting him down he shares his own doubts. No insults, jokes, or sarcasm. Just understanding.

* A subtle moment for Carisi: In "Padre Sandunguero", he invites Amaro to come bowling with him and a few friends from law school, saying that some of them are attractive. Notably, Carisi uses gender neutral language in the scene, ''not'' feminine.
