First Reappearance On SVU
Detectives Benson and Stabler are still the only ones in the precinct who know the truth about Cabot's "death" until one year and four months later (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit episode "Ghost"), when she emerges from hiding to be a witness in a case against Liam Connors, the assassin who tried to kill her. It is revealed in this episode that Cabot was living in Wisconsin under the name "Emily" and working for an insurance company. It is also mentioned that Cabot's mother died during her time in witness protection and that she was unable to attend the funeral. She wants to see Connors brought to justice, but does not want him to be convicted of a murder that he didn't actually commit, which forces her to leave witness protection and face him in the courtroom. Connors goes to prison, having been found guilty under two counts of attempted murder (Cabot and an eight-year-old boy), plus five counts of murder. Upon winning the case, the SVU squad goes to Novak's office to celebrate, awaiting Cabot to join them. She does not show up, as the Federal Agent informs them that she has moved under a new identity and she asked him to say goodbye.

Famous quotes containing the word reappearance:
“Nations, like stars, are entitled to eclipse. All is well, provided the light returns and the eclipse does not become endless night. Dawn and resurrection are synonymous. The reappearance of the light is the same as the survival of the soul.”
—Victor Hugo (1802–1885)
