[Warning: This post contains spoilers for the Thursday, April 24 episode of LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME.]

LAW & ORDER: ORGANIZED CRIME’s Organized Crime Control Bureau is undergoing a massive shakeup: Jet (Ainsley Seiger) has officially left the team. (Seiger, who is exiting the series, had been with the show since the drama’s first episode back in 2021.)

Initially, Jet’s break seemed to be more temporary, a brief break to regroup after being attacked while undercover in episode 2, “Dante’s Inferno.” However, in the Thursday, April 24 episode, “Paranza Dei Bambini,” it became clear there was more going on.

In “Paranza Dei Bambini,” Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt) visited Jet at home and discovered she had crafted an enhanced database tracking the unidentified highway serial killer victims.

“Jet, are you okay?” Bell asked.

“I will be, once these girls have names,” she replied.

But there was something else weighing on the young detective. “The FBI offered me a full-time gig,” Jet confessed. “I turned it down.”

Bell laughed and pointed out, “Obviously, you’re still thinking about it.” 

Jet, however, insisted she had a job and wasn’t a quitter.

But Bell was firm with her friend. “Jet, Stabler came to you because you’re the best at what you do,” Bell said referring to Stabler (Christopher Meloni) seeking out Jet for her hacking skills in the show’s very first episode. “He asked you for a favor and you gave us four years. This is your first big job. And you knocked it out the park. Sometimes you’ve got to find a new park and play a new game. It’s okay. You don’t have to stay for us. Do what you gotta do.”

Later, Bell told Stabler Jet was taking a leave of absence and she was on her own path. Bell did tell the team that she had talked Jet into coming out for farewell drinks.


Jet leaves Organized Crime

While Stabler stayed back at the office to get a bit more work done, Jet came in, trying to stealthily pack up her desk. 

“I hate goodbyes,” she admitted.

“Yeah, don’t care,” Stabler said, bringing her in for a hug. He also had a joke to lighten the mood: “You’re leaving me with Vargas. Why would you do that to me?”

“You’ll live,” she replied.

As Jet started to pack up, Stabler watched over her. “I’m going to miss you,” he said. “I’m going to miss this.” 

When Jet realized Stabler was sticking around to make sure she showed up to drinks, he confirmed her suspicions: “I don’t like Irish goodbyes.”

“I’m Dutch,” she replied.

Previously, Truitt acknowledged that Bell was aware Jet was struggling with her job. “Bell knows Jet is young,” she told Give Me My Remote earlier this month. “Jet didn’t sign up for what she got put into. She’s literally supposed to be the computer nerd, like, that’s it. She’s supposed to be at a desk, typing, giving us information. She was not supposed to be going undercover, going into the field, and all that like…But I do also know that Bell sees that it could be a part of Jet being young, and not having lived a full life yet, that certain things are just so hard for her to deal with emotionally, as far as the case is concerned—like, ‘Oh my God, this is happening to these people.’” 

“She’s not able to compartmentalize the way some of us—like Reyes, Bell, and Stabler—are, because they’ve been detectives for a number of years….I’ve never been a detective, but I’m assuming that’s something you have to kind of learn how to do,” she continued. “Just like a therapist: You have to learn how to compartmentalize, otherwise, you’re going to take home every problem your client has…Jet seems like she’s taking her victims home with her; literally, taking them home with her. And you can’t do that if you want to be able to work in this kind of field for a long time.”

And though this leaves the team short-handed, “Bell, genuinely, as a big sister, she wants Jet to do what’s best for her,” Truitt noted. “She doesn’t want Jet to think about letting her down, like, ‘Oh, I’m gonna let Bell and Stabler down if I have to take some time away or if I have to think about things differently,’ or whatever.”

“For Bell, at the end of the day…things are going to get solved,” she continues. “We’re going to get justice. I think that’s her mindset [about Jet asking for time off]. ‘We’re going to get justice. Is it worth you losing yourself or worth you being in a bad place? No. We’ll figure it out. But you need to do what you need to do for you.’ Bell cares about her team that much, you know? I think she really genuinely cares about them as people. She’s not gonna put Jet in a position where she’s struggling, mentally or emotionally…she’s gonna give her a chance to prove herself, like, ‘Hey, I believe in you, and I believe you can do this.’ But if it’s too much, she’s gonna support her in that.”
