Which supper was last? It could be either, but the Stabler family drama was more engaging than the protection of the witness and her bratty teenagers.
Learning that Randall turned in his father to IAB was understandable and maddening. Discovering that younger brother Joe Jr. Is up to something shady was a rare chance for Elliot and Randall to bond after physical conflict. Eli's anger at his father's disengagement from the family was believable.
As for guarding the witness, other commenters have already addressed that well. I'm wondering why the captain was involved when Bell answers to Lt. Brewster. Consistency, Wolf Productions!
