wow...i'll have to watch it over again, but to me, it sounds like Elliots saying "this" meaning whatever he's goin through w/ Kathy...like "this" fight, or "this" rough patch....Cause Liv says "is there someone else?" and when El says "it'd be easier if there was. I dunno what this is" kinda like i don't know what all this means, i don't know what's going on w/ her type of deal. At least i think...Maybe other ppl will respond w/ something totally different. I hope this helps...

Lol... let me back you up, B.F. Funny you mentioned “Monogamy” eppy, Mary82, my netflix mail just arrived. It was SVU season 3. I’d be happy to share it with you. Enjoy reading!
* From the beginning, Maureen (Elliot’s daughter) stepped into her Daddy’s department for she had bad news to break. Then Elliot and Maureen both came out of Cragen’s office looking unhappy. Here’s the dialogue where Elliot and Olivia waited for the female junkie. Olivia was a bit impatient that time. *ELLIOT: “You want to leave? Go ahead!”
OLIVIA: “Or could you stop being a jerk and tell me what the hell’s going on with you? Is this about Maureen?”
ELLIOT: “I screwed up. I didn’t send in a check for the Columbia application.”
OLIVIA: “Is it too late?”
ELLIOT: “ I don’t know!”
OLIVIA: “Elliot, what is this?!”
ELLIOT: “I’ve been distracted…”
* Elliot was being nasty to Munch after he opened a few funny remarks, like he usually does. Again, Olivia came to Elliot, who was about to enter the elevator.* OLIVIA: “You know everybody in that room is on your side. But we’re not mind readers. And if you’re not going to say what’s wrong with you, that’s fine! But there’s not a whole hell of a lot we can do.”
ELLIOT: “I know you’re on my side.”
OLIVIA: “Elliot, what is going on? Would you talk to me? Is there somebody else?”
ELLIOT: “No. It’s nothing like that. To be honest, it’d be easier if there was… I… I don’t know what this is… It’s…it just never goes away, you know, every case, a little bit more horrific than the last. And I go home. What am I supposed to do, talk about my day at work? ‘Honey, today a guy cut a baby out of his wife’s stomach, pass the gravy please?’ ”
OLIVIA: “So you just don’t talk at all. That’s no solution, Elliot.”
ELLIOT: “Well, one of us has to be able to sleep at night. She (his wife Kathy) thinks I’m shutting her out.”
OLIVIA: “You are. That’s exactly what you do. You keep this up, you’re going to ruin the best thing you ever had.”
* Here’s the last part where Elliot raised his voice at everyone, especially at ADA Cabot, for no one agreed with him *
ALEX: (To the Captain, Elliot & Olivia) “Prove the baby was born alive according to New York State of Law. It died while it was still in mother’s womb. It technically wasn’t a person, so it’s not murder.”
ELLIOT: “I don’t care if you call it a person or not, it’s still murder!”
OLIVIA: “I don’t know, Elliot, you cannot have both ways. A fetus is either a life or its not.”
ELLIOT: “Olivia, you saw that baby! YOU SAW THAT BABY!! That guy’s gonna walk!!”
OLIVIA: “And I don’t like it anymore than you do!”
ALEX: “And I am not prepared to dismantle reproductive rights on an inconclusive case!”
ELLIOT: “We’re going to let a murderer get away to preserve a polical ideal, I don’t know what am I even doing here?!?”
CRAGEN: “Take a break, detective…”
* That’s all. It seems this eppy was all about Elliot and the problems he had been struggling with lately. Hope that helps you, Mary82! * 
Later!
