There needed to be a greater means for Jet to deal with her wig coming off.
I used to be able to rant about Bell and her incapability to grasp what undercover work entails — AGAIN. But then Jet made a boneheaded transfer and obtained herself kidnapped.
Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 3 Episode 13 was a high-adrenaline, action-packed episode with a cliffhanger that’ll preserve us speaking by means of a short hiatus.
Bell irritated me all through many of the hour. This is way from the primary time she’s determined a detective has gotten in over their head and tried to tug them once they have been in too deep to vanish.
I get that she by no means obtained over Gina’s demise, however she freaks out each time anybody is undercover and makes irrational selections about whether or not they belong on the case. It’s getting previous, and it must cease.
Bell’s refusal to imagine Jet was enjoying a component when she kissed Seamus was simply as hypocritical as Jet mentioned it was.
Stabler has seduced loads of mobsters’ wives, aggravating Bensler shippers. Back on Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 1, it occurred a lot that it appeared a part of his job description!
As a lot as Bell ranted that these pictures of Jet and Seamus kissing would tank the case, the one purpose they existed was that Bell advised Reyes to observe Jet and take them.
If she hadn’t carried out that, there can be no pictures for a protection lawyer to make use of towards Jet when the case went to trial. So what precisely was her downside?
Bell determined that Jet had fallen in love with Seamus as a result of Jet accurately intuited that Seamus did not wish to be a gangster. Bell was listening in on Seamus telling Jet to run away to Santa Fe with him, so it ought to have been apparent the place Jet was coming from with this.
Jet: He does not wish to do it.
Bell: What? The hit?
Jet: Any of what he is doing. I do know what you are each pondering, however a great detective makes use of each instrument at her disposal, and I’m telling you that what I really feel about Seamus is correct.
As normal, on the subject of undercover work, Bell’s judgment was compromised, not Jet’s.
I wasn’t a fan of the Jet kidnapping sequence. Revealing herself as a cop to Seamus whereas she was alone with no backup, then calling Bell earlier than restraining him, made little sense and will solely finish badly.
Jet needed to make a split-second determination when her wig got here off, however she may have defined it with out blowing her cowl earlier than she was able to arrest Seamus.
Surely she may have made up a narrative about carrying the wig for work to look extra like what the purchasers anticipated.
Now Seamus is aware of the reality, and Jet is in peril. To make issues worse, Bell in some way did not understand what was taking place regardless of being on the cellphone with Jet when all of it went down.
None of this needed to occur this fashion, making it doubly irritating.
The operation is probably going blown now regardless of Stabler’s exhausting work to get Muprhy to belief him.
Murphy is not silly; there is no means he’ll suppose Jet was the one undercover.
He’ll quickly understand he is been performed, and there will likely be hell to pay. Seamus could also be close to the highest of his enemies checklist for bringing Jet into their world, however he is obtained to appreciate that everybody related to that bar is probably tainted.
That means the lure Stabler and Teddy have been setting is ineffective; he’ll by no means set foot within the bar once more. Murphy in all probability additionally has disagreeable plans for Stabler and Teddy and possibly for Reyes and Whelan.
The solely factor that retains him from killing all of them is that he can use Jet to torment them first.
This just isn’t good, and it is virtually solely due to a wig that did not keep in place. That element ought to have been attended to in order that one thing like this could not occur.
While many of the hour was devoted to the sting that went sideways, we obtained a couple of glimpses into different issues.
Thurman advised Bell he reported her to IAB. What on Earth may they be investigating her for?
Let me inform you one thing. I selected to maintain my job as a result of I like my crew and I belief them greater than I belief the politics on this workplace. And on the subject of fixing the homicide of my former accomplice, nothing goes to cease me.
Bell
Refusing to take a promotion is not against the law, and there is no proof Bell has carried out something unsuitable along with her crew.
Thurman made the report as retaliation for Bell insisting on investigating Murphy’s involvement in her accomplice’s demise or possibly to cease her from revealing that he fabricated enormous elements of his resume.
Could Thurman’s motives be extra sinister? Could he be concerned with Murphy or another gang?
It’s extra seemingly that he is performing to guard his place or for another political purpose, however that might be a terrific twist. Bell’s been betrayed so many instances, and it will actually suck if her new boss have been concerned with organized crime in some way.
Similarly, we nonetheless do not know what’s up with that new DA who desires to get Murphy.
She’s supposedly on the precise aspect, however past sending in CIs to begin a gang struggle, we do not know what she’s doing to assist get Murphy. We do not even know she’s who she claims to be!
