LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT Spoiler Alert: Olivia Experiences a Loss

[Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Thursday, October 31 episode of LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT.]

LAW & ORDER: SPECIAL VICTIMS UNIT’s Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) got more of a trick than a treat on the Thursday, October 31 episode.

Olivia reunited with her half-brother Simon (Michael Weston), but it was short-lived: he relapsed and, accidentally, fatally overdosed.

The duo were never particularly close—they met as adults after Olivia ran her DNA to try and find family (in the system) that could have a tie to her biological father/the man who raped her mother—but, as Olivia acknowledged to Warner (Tamara Tunie), “He was my only family.”

Will you miss Simon?
