"He will win who knows when to fight and when not to fight." Sun Tzu

[leodavinci]

Barbra is literally the BEST D.A they ever had. May even say, better than Cabot.

[rangodeldiablo]

I love this episode because Barba realized that the only way to win was not to fight. He saw that both sides were extreme and out for blood, and using him as a tool for their own agenda. So he decided that he won't be a tool for politics, he would shut both down at the same time, by deciding that he wasn't going to play the game.

Every time Barba stepped inside the courtroom, he ate and left no crumbs

[masterludovicus]

This episode was brilliant. Not only did Barba know they really had no evidence, he also knew the case was too politically charged. Platt's, Varchinsky's, and Cobb's testimonies were too strong politically and this episode highlighted both extremes are a dangerous thing.

*The real culprit might not go to prison, but the wrong man won't go to prison either. In other words, sometimes a total stalemate is the best option.*

Esparza and Amaro made this show exciting again. Both great actors but Raul is really on a diff level.

[rhondalumpkins]

I love Barbs and miss him. He was so kickass and sexy.

[brownskingirl]

I loved him. He was the best DA they had and they need to bring him back.

[ashtonchapman]

So glad he’s coming back again. He’s a legend along with Cabot and Novak

[mckayleem]

I love watching Liv during all the court battles. You can really see how she studies the defense, the prosecutor, the judge and jury, just everyone, trying to figure out what the next move will be.

[cfinley]

Casey Novak was my #1 favorite ADA with Alex Cabot as my #2. But then Rafael Barba came into my SVU life. Knocked 'em both down.

[cindyrobertson]

I love Barba...they need to bring him back. ❤

[andrewsulfaro]

If only everybody knew that Barbra is a world class singer

[drag]

“You don’t possess an once of principal or virtue.” Is he running for elective office?

[deno]

I can put Barba clips on loop and just watch and listen 24/7

[laniadeon]

When the show turned off 5 seconds ago and they come in with this clip immediately 😂😂😂

[hinatapatata]

Liv back there looking like the lady from the thinking and calculating meme

[blairbrown]

"You can tell because we see his soul dying in his eyes."

[penmasterx]

If only Stabler was still there. I’d love to him interact with Barba.

If only Barba met Alex Cabot or Casey Novak.

If only Stabler met Peter Stone.
