History
Stabler became concerned when Rita didn't show up for work and called in sick. However, after flirting with Flutura and then spiking her drink, Stabler found Rita's passport in a briefcase in the Briscu home, along with several other passports of young Albanian women. After sending in the photos to Bell, Stabler expressed to Bell that he was worried about Rita and they might be looking at human trafficking. (OC: "For A Few Leke More")
After witnessing Rita being put into a car, Stabler saved Rita by crashing a motorcycle he had stolen into the car. Rita became terrified and told Stabler that they were going to kill her son, Gabriel. However, Stabler told Rita that Gabriel was okay and Rita was confused because she didn't know that he knew his name. Stabler told Rita that he was a cop and showed her his badge. Rita became confused and Stabler told Rita that Gabriel is in Interpol in London. (OC: "The Good, The Bad And The Lovely")
