‘Law & Order: Organized Crime’: Stabler’s Return To Normal Life Will Be ‘Fraught’
Elliot Stabler’s Return to Normalcy Proves Complicated After Undercover Operation
In Season 2 of Law & Order: Organized Crime, Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) dives deep into the dangerous world of the Albanian mob. His undercover persona, Eddie “Ashes” Wagner, an arsonist loyal to the gang, leads him through months of perilous work that ultimately brings down the crime syndicate. However, according to series showrunner Ilene Chaiken, Stabler’s transition back to his everyday life won’t be easy.
Stabler’s Undercover Journey
After securing the conviction of Richard Wheatley, Stabler shifts his focus to the Albanian mafia in New York City. As Eddie Wagner, he commits arson for the gang, forging deep bonds with mobster Reggie Bogdani (Dash Mihok) and gaining the trust of one of the leaders, Albi Briscu (Vinnie Jones). The detective’s undercover mission also sees him entangled in a romantic liaison with Albi’s wife, Flutura (Lolita Davidovich).
By episodes 7 and 8, Stabler’s hard work pays off as he testifies against the mobsters, including his friend Reggie, and confronts them during their court indictment. But the conclusion of his undercover stint marks the beginning of a new set of challenges.
The Aftermath of Undercover Life
Returning to his normal life proves to be a complex process for Stabler. The end of episode 8 shows him shaving off his Eddie Wagner beard, a symbolic gesture inspired by his son Eli’s (Nicky Torchia) comment on how good it feels to have his dad back. Despite this, the road to reentry is far from smooth.
Stabler’s struggle is compounded by the realization that he was hiding parts of himself during his undercover operation. “You can’t really hide from yourself, so he’s going to have to face himself,” Chaiken added.
Family Dynamics and Ongoing Conflicts
Stabler’s return home also means confronting family issues. During his undercover mission, Olivia (Mariska Hargitay) discovered that Eli was selling his grandmother’s prescription pills, leading Stabler to ground him. Now back home, Stabler and Eli must navigate the aftermath of this incident.
“Eli’s story continues, addressing that subject,” said Chaiken. “Stabler coming home will be significant and challenging. He will try to be a better father, taking responsibility. He’s full of self-recrimination, and it’s not all undeserved.”
Moreover, Stabler isn’t just dealing with family challenges. He must also face his old nemesis, Richard Wheatley (Dylan McDermott), adding another layer of complexity to his return to everyday life.
New episodes of Law & Order: Organized Crime air Thursday nights on NBC.
