His character's departure was handled by saying he had quit. Elliott didn't appear, his resignation was discussed by the other characters so we would know why he wasn't there.

The season 12 final episode "Smoked" ended with a girl with a gun shooting people in the squad room, so Det. Stabler shot and killed her. But during the hiatus between season 12 and 13, Christopher Meloni, the actor who plays Elliott Stabler, could not negotiate a new contract for season 13 of SVU. In the season 13 opening episode "Scorched Earth", the script handled the situation by saying that Stabler had quit over the shooting incident.
