Law & Order: Christopher Meloni Wishes Mariska Hargitay Happy 500th

Before we take a look at the preview for NBC's Law & Order: Organized Crime "Unforgivable," we would be remiss if we didn't recognize the momentous occasion befalling Mariska Hargitay (Olivia Benson) and Law & Order: SVU tonight. That's right, tonight is the show's shockingly impressive 500th episode. So you know what that means, right? Yup, it's time for Christopher Meloni (Elliot Stabler) to offer proper "birthday" love via Instagram. But it's Hargitay's response video that impressed us the most (and scared us a little, if we're being totally transparent).

Now here's a look at Meloni whisper-wishing Hargitay a happy 500th birthday, followed by a look at Hargitay blowing out her candles. Yup, 500 of them! Here's hoping she wished for a really good fire extinguisher:
