In Season 3, Episode 2, Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) takes on a case that’s deeply personal to her. A string of killings with all victims related to Benson’s past cases causes tensions between herself and her partner, detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni). Throughout the course of the episode, Benson is stalked by the likely killer. When trying to unravel the mystery, she discovers that an FBI detail was commissioned by Stabler to protect his partner. Understandably, Benson wasn’t too happy about being kept in the dark about the extra protection, and she confronts Stabler about it in front of his house towards the end of the episode.
This is when the continuity error comes into play (via the Daily Express). The detectives have a brief conversation, after which Benson is seen walking away from Stabler’s porch. In the very next shot, she is seen silently approaching Stabler again, in complete silence, all the while mouthing something to her partner. The most likely explanation behind this is that the editors had the scene order mixed up when cutting up the scene. It isn’t likely that we’ll ever get a legitimate answer to this mystery, seeing as “Wrath” aired over 20 years ago.
The error was discovered in 2018 by a very detail-oriented “Law & Order: SVU” fan, who shared their observation anonymously on MovieMistakes, a forum dedicated to viewers spotting continuity errors and other mistakes in their favorite films and TV series.
