We've known Internal Affairs Bureau Captain Ed Tucker (Robert John Burke) since season three. We rarely see him for good news, though, since his job is to investigate and weed out dirty police officers and detectives. Tucker often clashes with the SVU team since he sometimes gets in the middle of cases and has a very stern and often rude demeanor. In season 17, however, that all changes.
He and Benson end up fitting together in a way we can't believe we didn't see coming! Tucker even brings up planning a trip to Paris with Olivia and her young son, Noah. But in season 18, Tucker reveals that he's thinking about retiring. This worries Olivia because her work is her life and she fears that she and Tucker are in different places in their lives. Not to mention, she also has Noah to look after. At the end of the season, the two break up and we still don't know how to feel about it.
