The way he looks at her! The way she looks at him! Complete FIRE!!!!

Liv and Barba have a mutual respect for each. There is a chemistry between them… a look…. Raul’s facial expression say it all. There is trust, honesty and love. Their eyes say it all.

I like how Barba still calls Olivia “Liv”, at least that hasn’t changed

[jackieoesterman]

I SO WISH these 2 would get together. They are so right for each other in so many ways.

[paigecosgrove]

I just think there’s a reason Barba took the side of Wheatley. Mostly I think it’s to help Liv in some way. By keeping the enemy close. So if something bad does go down. Barba will most likely will take the bullet for her.

[yaretziortega]

Omg this song goes a lot with their story, I just really hope on the next episode they are friends again or if barba likes benson… hmm who knows? Maybe stabler and barba fight for benson’s love or “friendship” ❤️❤️

[xhensinatafani]

This video is amazing 😍😍 the song and the parallels between the past and the present is really beautiful and touching. The authors are really trying to break this relationship by making Liv not forgiving Rafa, I just hope they will solve it at the end because I think there is more behind this story ❤️

Barba trying to protect her again...but i think he cant let on. Wheatley is like a cat who will play w the mouse to be entertained. He doesnt need Olivia or Elliot to die....he takes more pleasure playing the game. He could have easily had Eli killed he didnt.

Barba is a feminist icon, honest and honorable and one hot green-eyed, hot ADA. I wish he'd frisk me. Total bliss! I understand his job completely. I'm a ada lawyer to! 💞

[annmariedash]

There is more to this than meets the eye. Barba has to have a hidden reason for defending Wheatley. It doesn’t make sense. He will not willingly offend Liv.

[victoriaguerra]

Awww this hurts to watch he truly loves her such a good video ❤️

[jordanmonroe]

The way Barba always asks her if she's okay🥹❤️ he really cares about her

[queenheart]

It didn't make it to my country but I've had a lot of spoilers and I don't mind getting more. I can't believe the writers had the courage to end such a beautiful friendship between Rafael and Liv. I do not believe!! And all this because of Elliot?? For her to reconnect with Elliot??? What makes me crazier is that they invented all of this out of nowhere, because really the blame for this breakup wasn't the characters, but Melloni and the show's producers. Now to justify this mess, they created a worse mess, just to please the stabler fans. And us, Rafael and Barson fans, how were we???

Vi adoro 💕 da 20anni..siamo cresciuti insieme..nn riesco a dormire se nn vedo almeno 2 episodi la sera vostri..

[Scrappy]

Raul was amazing in this episode ... I just wish they hadn't wrecked Barba's character and his friendship with Benson. He is an awesome lawyer, and he just put a psycho back on the street. Olivia has every right to be pissed off.

[taitaibarry]

I agree I hate that they fucked up barba and Benson's friendship and yea what he did was foul but her just always enabling Stabler bad behavior is what got them in this situation in the first place. Barba was only trying to do what's right while protecting his bsf and his job bc let's be realistic he wasn't wrong if he didn't take the case someone else who would have no problem putting her, her relationship, and her career on the paddle stool and burning it to the ground 💯💯

[nirvanessa]

This edit is amazing!! So many parallels. I really hope this storyline is continued and somehow they fix their friendship because it is heartbreaking. I ship EO but this was so sad, Barson is great and doesn't deserve this, I hope Rafael has a stronger motivation for his decision and there is a redemption for him.

[yaretziortega]

Wait question. Barba said the problem with being an empath “it’s too easy to lose yourself when other people need you” so was he empathizing with Wheatley and that’s why he is losing himself or did he meant when he was trying to understand benson?

[sarataylor]

I would like to know what he meant by, "Stabler coming back has made things more complicated, " was it implied that they were more than friends? Or starting to be more than friends.

I detest the background music! It’s ok if it didn’t overshadow the vid…
