Maura wasn’t sure what they’d been expecting when Ciaran got her, Daniel and their son tickets to a cruise ship for Elliot’s birthday. But it probably wasn’t adopting the captain, mediating two separate three-way lovers’ quarrels, getting their son kidnapped by a Danish family looking for a playdate for their daughter, or witnessing an international tourist-crew romance in the buffet queue. “At least we have something to tell people,” Daniel comforted her with a laugh.

I am still on my SVU bullshit and started watching the early seasons again. Watching Monogamy now and I did not remember the subplot of Elliot's home troubles at all.
And Liv just chewed him out a bit for not talking to Kathy, after he told her that he can't go home and share these things, these horrors, with his wife.
But the thing is. He used to. In season 1? He did share, he did talk about the cases with Kathy.
So it's kind of fascinating to think about what changed.
[Well. Our universe it seems pretty obvious the answer was show runner change between s1 and s2.]
In universe...an easy explanation is EO was the driver but...I honestly don't see any real romantic undertones between them yet. Might be my AO shipper heart but really don't see different undertones to their relationship until after Alex is gone.
Before that they just read as Family to me, not wrestling with any desires for more/for the possibility of more.
So it leaves me wondering what happened. Was it the Morris Commission and Elliot almost losing his job? Did he tell Kathy and she was horrified to learn he fantasized about killing these perps and he responded by never sharing anything again?
Did he share something and Kathy ended up with nightmares? Did he share and one of the kids overheard?
What. Happened.
