That's because a promo for the  drama's  teased a potential kiss between longtime will-they-won't-they couple Captain Olivia Benson () and Detective Elliot Stabler (). And though he couldn't confirm or deny what goes down during the episode, Christopher did share his thoughts on whether he thinks "Bensler" should and will end up together.

"I think there's a world," he said on the  of . "I used to not, but I think we're all trying to still figure out what the exact steps are and what that endgame is." And a kiss could be the exact thing that sets Benson and Stabler down the path to romance.

Will the pair's 20 years of pining finally pay off? Fans will have to tune in to  tomorrow, Jan. 26, at 9 p.m. on NBC to find out.
