### Arrest

Stabler witnesses Santos exchange money with some guy. Stabler then calls Santos over and claims that his online date was a bust. Santos says that he is working private security. Stabler tells Santos that Donnelly and the Brotherhood can help if he needs more money. Santos tells Stabler the entire plan to steal diamonds and Stabler offers to be Santos' wingman. Later, Stabler and Santos enter a coffee shop. Santos claims that he doesn't want any coffee but Stabler tries to stall him. After leaving the coffee shop, Santos freaks out after seeing a ticket on his windshield and Stabler tries to calm him down. While Santos and Stabler converse in the car, Bell listens in on their conversation. Donnelly then shows up and insists on hearing the plan about the heist. Santos explains the entire plan to Donnelly but then Santos leaves. Donnelly thanks Stabler for keeping him in the loop and explains that Santos' daughter has cancer and that the insurance is maxed out. Santos then meets with guy named Hurley who claims that he is feeling nauseous from the pills that Santos gave him. Hurley then passes out and Santos and Stabler then break into Hurley's briefcase while another guy continuously bangs on the bathroom door. Santos then witnesses Donnelly shoot Hurley in the head. Later, after kissing his wife and child, Santos is arrested by Bell and numerous cops. (OC: "Can't Knock The Hustle")

After getting arrested by the police, Santos was interrogated by Bell about the stolen diamonds but Santos denied knowing about the diamonds. Bell then brought up Hurley's disappearance but Santos remained silent. Bell told Santos that if he gives up Hurley's murderer, then he can walk on the robbery charge. After Bell brought up The Brotherhood, Santos denied knowing about The Brotherhood. Bell told him that if he doesn't cooperate then he will go down for the entire gang. Bell told him to make the right decision before leaving. Later, Bell brought in Santos' wife, Rosaria, to help force his hand. Santos wouldn't flip because he was loyal to The Brotherhood. Stabler spoke with Santos in private and pushed him to give the task force information about The Brotherhood in exchange for a lighter prison sentence. Santos came under pressure and Stabler encouraged him to give up Donnelly. (OC: "Change The Game")

After a mother's day lunch, Benson and Noah ran into Stabler who was buying flowers to place on Kathy's grave for Mother's Day. Benson then received a text message and asked Stabler if he ever worked with Santos. Stabler told Benson that he has worked with Santos and then asks her why she is asking about him. Benson then tells Stabler that she will call him as soon as she can before leaving. (SVU: "Did You Believe In Miracles?")

Stabler approaches Santos in prison who becomes devastated after hearing about Sara’s kidnapping. Stabler then asks Santos who got into a fight with him outside Sara’s school and Santos tells Stabler that it’s not important. Santos then asks Stabler if Donnelly has anything to do with Sara’s kidnapping before Stabler leaves the prison. After finding Sara, Stabler approaches Santos at the prison and Santos hugs him for saving Sara. Stabler then became aggressive with Santos and demanded to know why Santos was covering for a suspect. Santos then agreed to wear a wire to catch Donnelly in the act and tells Stabler that as long as Donnelly is out there, nobody is safe. (OC: “Lost One”)
