If we have one wish for the rest of Law & Order: SVU Season 27, it’s simple: Get Raúl Esparza back on our screens! We miss Rafael Barba!

Esparza was last seen on the long-running NBC drama in the Season 23 finale, and he and Captain Olivia Benson (Mariska Hargitay) remained at odds after he defended Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott). He called her out on defending Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), while acknowledging he understood why she did it. The last words they said to each other onscreen at this point are his, “I do know what it means to love someone unconditionally. And when you’re ready to stop feeling betrayed by me, I’ll be here,” followed by her, “Rafa… I miss you, too.”
