‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’: [Spoiler] Leaves in Season 5
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 5 Episode 3 “Paranza Dei Bambini.”]
The good news? While the OCCB does say goodbye to one of its own in the Thursday, April 24, episode of Law & Order: Organized Crime, at least the character is still alive. The fallout of the Organized Crime Control Bureau’s serial killer trucker case leads to Jet (Ainsley Seiger) making a big decision about her future.
After Jet went undercover during the team’s case involving multiple murders by truckers and was nearly strangled to death, she needed to take some time. When Episode 3 begins, she’s told Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt) that she needs a few more days. Stabler (Christopher Meloni) then asks Reyes (Rick Gonzalez) where she is, and the other detective shares they broke up a few weeks ago and haven’t talked. The trucker serial killer case really messed her up, Reyes says, and he’s worried. So is Stabler.
Bell then goes to see Jet at home, and it turns out she’s still working the trucker case unofficially, with 148 unsolved murders on every interstate. She’ll be okay once the girls have names, she tells the sergeant, who compliments her police work. Jet reveals that the FBI offered her a full-time gig, but she turned it down. Bell knows she’ll still thinking about it.
“I have a job. I’m not a quitter,” Jet says. Bell reminds and encourages her, “Stabler came to you because you’re the best at what you do. He asked you for a favor, and you gave us four years. This is your first big job, you knocked it out of the park. Sometimes you gotta find a new park, play a new game. It’s okay, you don’t have to stay for us. Do what you gotta do.”
And so with that, Jet is taking a leave, Bell then tells Stabler. She’s not sure how long but “she’s on her own journey.”
When Jet comes in to pack up her stuff, Stabler’s still there and planning to drive her to the bar to make sure she doesn’t skip out on farewell drinks. Though she hates goodbyes, he hugs her and tells her, “I’m going to miss you.”
Elsewhere in the episode, Carisi’s (SVU‘s Peter Scanavino guest stars) Los Santos case falls apart and is dismissed — and right after, Carlo is shot and killed in the courtroom. This leads Stabler to the Cammora and an informant of his from Italy, Isabella Spezzano (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), who now has a horse farm in America, just like she wanted. While she wants her family out of the Cammora, there’s a link to her grandson Roman’s (Alberto Frezza) brewery. And when Stabler gets home after the farewell drinks with Jet, his son Eli (Nicky Torchia) and his pregnant girlfriend (Kiaya Scott) are walking up as well — just in time for someone to shoot at all of them!
Plus, it looks like Bernadette (Ellen Burstyn) was right and Joe Jr. is in touch with her: Randall (Dean Norris) finds a ringing phone in her room. When no one says anything when he answers, he immediately thinks, “Joey?” The person hangs up.

Don't know why they wrote Jet off. I really liked her. Thought the budding romance with Bobby was intriguing. Their differing personalities made the couple fun. Hope they bring her back. Think that they are making a mistake just like FBI International did by changing out the original cast. I wish Ainsley the best.

Seriously hoping they will be bringing her back like they did Reyes when he needed a break from the job.......

I was sorry to see her go. She’s a close second to Meloni for me. I’m glad they left the door open for her to do guest shots or return but I still want to know why. Did she leave on her own, likely to seek other jobs? Did she ask for more money than they wanted to pay her? Is Dick Wolf a moron? …..

I wonder if they had to cut the budget since they only are streaming on Peacock now. I agree. My second favorite character.

I happen to like her very much. She’s a good little actress. Hoping she comes back to the show.

This is similiar to how the Haley character was written off Chicago PD. She made a choice at the end of her last episode of going to a Federal Law Enforcement agency like the FBI. The difference with Reyes and his “break” from the job was that he was not going to make a choice of going anywhere else or to another job opportunity, he just needed a couple of weeks. Here, Jet has another job opportunity and is talked/urged into pursuing it. Looks as if the actress was leaving the show and this is how they wrote her out. They always do these write outs at the very early start of a season too.

jet is the best of them all. Too bad they’re writing her off especially when she’s just starting a romance! She’s brilliant with computers but guess that’s why they brought the boring guy in! Really too bad they’re writing.

Specially when she just started a romance?Really ???? You need to watch grays or any soap operas . The only reason to watch OC it’s because they go to the action right away. No silly stuff, no sex scenes . The actors have a great chemistry among them.

She was the main reason I was hooked to the show... Not to take away anything from the rest of the cast, let's hope is only temporary. They did take their sweet time for this new season to premier; I even thought it got cancelled! It's a pretty entertaining show, let's keep going. Anything "Law and Order" it's great!

Awww - i really liked her - she was one of the main reasons i watched. If the actress left for her own reasons then i wish her luck, but if the writers wrote her out, i hope they write her back in at some stage. Surely the type of work with the FBI wouldn’t too different to what she does for the NYPD? Lets hope.

If they fired her, they're crazy. If she left, she's crazy. The show's going to be nothing but dark- Stabler is the only interesting character other than Jet.

I think that Dick Wolf should revive her character in one of his FBI series.

I hate it! There is absolutely no reason to write her out. If she is moving on as an actor, let us know that. Don't give us just the storyline. I need to know trl story!
