Gah, I hate watching these out of order! Thanks, though! It makes much more sense.

Is there a proper goodbye between Olivia and Elliot before she leaves? Or does she even tell him? I'm too anxious to wait!

After the stand-off with Gitano and finding the kidnapped girl, they had a conversation outside her hospital room:
Elliot: If that sniper hadn't beaten you to it, I knew you would've taken that shot, Olivia.
Olivia: No, I wouldn't have. Did you really expect me to? Did you really expect me to cause your death?
E: I don't know. I couldn't get that boy out of my head.
O: What about your kids? What about me?
E: Look, you and I both chose each other over the job. Can't let that happen again. Otherwise, can't be partners.
O: I can't believe you're saying that!
E: Olivia, you and this job are about all I've got anymore. I don't want to wreck that. I couldn't take it.
After this scene, she went to Cragen's office and asked for a new partner. Next episode is "Fat" where they have a conversation in the locker room while he's changing his shirt:
O: I liked that shirt.
E: What are you doing here?
O: I heard you had a fight with Blaine.
E: What can I say, he's a prick. (pause) Why didn't you tell me?
O: I'm sorry. I should have told you.
E: Then, why didn't you?
O: It's..just too complicated.
E: Oh.
O: Elliot, we've been partners for longer than everyone else here. We needed a change.
E: (pause) Thanks for coming.
