Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) and Lt. Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) used to have a relationship that blossomed into a passionate one. But with him gone, she had to find love elsewhere. Lt. Olivia Benson found this in the arms of Capt. Ed Tucker (Robert Burke).

Reports say that Elliot will return in Season 18 and his arrival will completely turn Olivia and Ed's world topsy-turvy. Elliot had to return to stir trouble in an otherwise perfect relationship.

Olivia is tough, but with Ed around, she tones down and lets the Captain be stronger and tougher. And fans are not the only ones who can see this change in Olivia.

Noah, Olivia's adopted son in the series, also sees that change in his mom, especially when she is around the Captain. Noah likes this transformation that is happening to his mother.

Ed and Elliot fighting over Olivia's love

There is a huge possibility that Capt. Ed and Elliot Stabler will fight over Olivia's attention. Although, there are no details yet as to what will happen to the love triangle and who will Olivia pick from the two.

There are also speculations that Lt. Olivia Benson will not be too bothered about the two at all, since she is still busy getting over Mike Dodd's death. There are even reports that William Dodds blames the lieutenant for his son's death.

The real cause of Mike Dodds' death and the extent of Olivia's pain over this loss will all be revealed in Season 18 of the show.
