While the flirtatious build-up to Rollisi offered plenty of wild speculation among fans, their settling into a steady relationship has been just as rewarding to watch unfold. In the fifth episode of Season 24, Rollins and Carisi share a quiet romantic moment in his office as he’s preparing for trial. They share a kiss, and Rollins assures him, “You got this, counselor.”
The brief interaction left “SVU” fans giddy. “They love each other so much I’m SICK,” tweeted bonafide Rollisi shipper @rollinsxcarisi. “Best part of the episode. Period” added @Katie_Classique. “The way these two love each other is so compassionate and tender.”
For other fans, the scene was bittersweet, as Giddish’s time on the show is dwindling; her final episode airs on December 8. “There wasn’t nearly enough #Rollisi but I loved this scene, tweeted @TinaLynne577. “Can’t believe we’re down to 4 episodes left with Kelli as Amanda Rollins.”
Indeed, some fans noted that the Episode 5 scene is a part of Rollins’ drawn-out exit. Carisi points out that Rollins hasn’t been sleeping well, suggesting that the shootout in the season premiere has been weighing heavily on her — perhaps enough for her to leave her job. “Rewatching and there’s so much foreshadowing of her quitting here,” noted @addiexrollins. At least fans can rest easy knowing Rollins will probably go out on a high note.
