Eli's birth was a close call. During Kathy's pregnancy, she was severely injured in a car accident with Detective Olivia Benson and a team of firefighters managed to get her out of the car and into an ambulance, where she gave birth to Eli. Elliot was not present at the time of the birth but was notified about the car accident and quickly rushed over to the hospital to be with Kathy and Eli. When Elliot came in, Kathy told him that they had a boy where father and son shared a loving touching moment when Elliot greeted the little man into the world and introduced himself as his daddy. After leaving the room, Elliot hugged Benson for saving his wife's life.

At Kathy's graveside, Eli, Stabler, Kathleen and Dickie were joined by Olivia. When Stabler announced that they were going for lunch, Eli said he had to meet his study partner and Stabler let him go and meet her. Benson claimed that she was happy that he was trusting Eli again. Later, Eli attended the trial of Richard Wheatley for Kathy's murder. However, Eli didn't appear when they delivered the verdict.
