Because this was Stephanie March’s final episode (for this season! FOR THIS SEASON! We must have hope!!). And because there was so much Alex. And because I’m trying not to be mad at Neal Baer for lying about the “BIG SHOW” that was supposed to happen for Liz Donnelly and Alex Cabot.

Stephanie, we miss you already! Tell Mariska and Chris to agree to renew contracts only if they bring back your character.
Oh my God, look at those pictures! *_* She’s amazing!
God, I’ll start downloading the episodes that aired on the US first thing tomorrow -or today, since it’s 4:45am and I have insomnia. ¬¬’
I just can’t wait for that stupid channel to start airing the new episodes again. u.ú
Lovely Alex’s pictures! ^^
Who are you on twitter? o_o”’
‘Cause all those messages to me (@teh_) right there in the right column of your blog are really scareing me. O_O
Duh. I’m “pulltea” on twitter.
LOL.
I had no idea before I read all those tweet messages right there. ->
And even after seeing that i had my doubts. x_x
I’m so dumb. xD
Oh no. It can’t be. No more witty lines like “You can have a toothbrush.”?!?!
Not just no showdown with Liz Donnelly, but they also apparently must have cut the “big talk” that Alex was supposed to have with the whole SVU gang. (Remember, I wished for all of them to appear to the nearest coffee shop and leave Liv and Alex alone to have *that* talk…)
Big bummer. I had no idea that this was her last ep FOR THE SEASON (yelling to reach Bear’s ears). Now I’m not sure I want to see the finale at all.
sniff. We need the Glasses of Justice back, really back, back to stay. Until the (bitter) end.
DF – bitter end is right. The silver lining to how the episode DID NOT address Cabot’s departure is that we could take it to mean Alex didn’t leave at all. The finale would just be action packed and somehow didn’t quite get to involving the ADA.
I’m pretty certain Baer and Co. kept the door open for any and all eventualities. Seeing as the contract negotiations for Hargitay and Meloni are still going on, nobody quite knows how the pieces are going to fall. Perhaps when Chris and Mariska does resign then they can consider asking Stephanie to come on back for one season. A girl can dream.
p.s. – wasn’t that toothbrush comment amusing? Dawn DeNoon has penned some really great stuff over the last 10 years. Her intial scene with Koehler cracked me up, esp. her horrified, “Uh, kind of… why??” when asked if she was busy Saturday.
