History[]

Bell and Stabler clashed when they first partnered together, with Bell concerned about Stabler threatening a witness. Stabler then accused Bell of profiling him, which resulted in Bell telling him that he does not know what it is like to be profiled. (OC: "What Happens in Puglia")

Bell welcomed Detectives Washburn and Morales to the Organized Crime Control Bureau. She later investigated a doctor who was illegally administering COVID-19 vaccines to his rich patients. Both her and Stabler also confronted Richard Wheatley about the case, where Bekher attempted to assault her but was stopped by Richard. (OC: "Not Your Father's Organized Crime")

After her nephew-in-law Damon King was physically assaulted by police detectives after being wrongfully arrested which could possibly result in lifelong injuries, Bell's wife Denise Bullock told her that she was suing the NYPD. Bell was deeply upset and angry that Damon was assaulted and wrongfully arrested but Denise gave her an ultimatum to either quit her job or lose her family, which put Bell in a complicated position.

Bell's squad and the Special Victims Unit teamed up to investigate a sex trafficker named Gabe Navarro. After Stabler shot Navarro when he drew a gun, Navarro was supposedly transferred to hospital but was not there, with Carisi believing that Stabler lied to the SVU. A furious Benson visited Bell but Bell told her that Stabler had continued his undercover operation and that Popkov was going to prison for life. However, Benson became angry that Bell was shrugging off Navarro not being in hospital but told her that she knew she was busy, to which Bell walked away, frowning at Benson, which put them in a tense relationship.
