Law & Order/Fridge

Fridge Brilliance

• Serena Southerlyn's infamous "Is this because I'm a lesbian?" seems moronic, until you realize that the whole point of Law & Order is that you have absolutely no idea what goes on their personal lives. This actually becomes less true after her departure, but up until then it was a miracle if we knew anything about anything that wasn't strictly work.
  • Also, considering the fact that Jack McCoy had seduced/fallen in love with (Your Mileage May Vary) four out of five of his previous assistants, it does show his sweet but odd behaviour towards his current assistant isn't necessarily sexual - it's just how he is - because he treats Abbie Carmichael and Serena almost identically.
  • But fanon says Abbie's gay as well, so Your Mileage May Vary.
    • Only because lots of fans want to see her with Olivia Benson. Which would actually be the hottest thing ever, so no complaints.
    • This piece of fanon comes from the same school of thought which ships Alex Cabot with Serena Southerlyn, which would also be incredible.
