SVU S23 E22 “A Final Call at Forlini’s Bar”
Mmmmm. Apple juice pretending to be Scotch.
A domestic violence victim keeps letting her abuser back into her life, until she stabs him to death. Even though he's still on the outs with Benson, Barba agrees to defend the woman.
After the trial, the two have a frank conversation about Olivia's feelings for Stabler and Barba's feelings for her.
We're talking about Special Victims Unit season 23 episode 22 "A Final Call at Forlini's Bar."
Our guest is Princess Weekes from PBS's "It's Lit" and the Netflix "Geeked" podcasts.
