That scene was hilarious especially the fight.

Guessing this follows the L&O playbook and their CI, the bodyguard, tells Stabler about Gina and then they either pressure the son or Angela to testify against Richard.

The fight scene in the bath house with Stabler and his partner was pretty awesome.

I said earlier that I had a feeling that Gina was fucked. She looked pretty dead to me. There was a lot of blood oozing out. But I was surprised Wheatley's kid didn't shoot her in the head and instead shot her twice in the chest.

Who was that person that Stabler met at the end? I assume he's someone he knew from Italy.

Wasn't that the actual drug lord who they hired to come in and buy vaccine from Wheatley to set him up?

Yeah he is the guy they brought in to replace the guy Stabler arrested in the Bathhouse.

The scene on the subway platform was unintentionally hilarious.

The homeless lady staring directly at them the entire time from 15 feet away pointing a hot dog at them surely would never draw suspicion

Meloni has officially wrapped his work for the season.

They really filmed this down to the wire. He finished his work 1 week before the finale airs.

Same with 9-1-1...literally finished filling a week before the finale.

What? Homeless people in NY don’t usually carry black mics in hot dog buns?

That entire sequence was hilarious including the cop just casually interrrupting a heavily guarded meeting to the main bad guy somehow managing to escape on a subway train.

Um, was Charles Barkley in this episode? I could have sworn he was one of the "arresting officers" in the subway raid.

That whole sequence was one of the weirdest things I've seen in some time. She is just pointing a hotdog at this group of tough-looking guys while staring over at them, while a cop in disguise randomly bumps into them screaming a few words? She could have jump put the hotdog on the floor and continued to look homeless.

Otherwise good episode. I hope McDermott stays on the show and isn't killed off in the finale.

For a guy who's 60, Chris Meloni is in good shape, or for any age for that matter.

He's in his 60s? Damn

Is the "true love" supposed to be Benson?

Yeah, I think we're supposed to believe that, but Richard is probably just pulling that out of his ass to manipulate him.

Did Angela Wheatley set a record for most times being poisoned in an episode?

Abrupt ending....

Hope we see Tamara next season, she's a great actress. Looks like this storyline will continue in S2

Yeah. Impressive.

This show is so over the top and ridiculous. Entertaining (mainly Meloni and McDermott; rest are meh), but ridiculous. And so not "Law & Order."

Loved it. It's like 24 in the Law & Order universe. I'm sure Wheatley meeting Benson will have have implications next season on both shows.

Didn't expect Richie to "man up" the way he did. There's a lot of ways that arc can go.

It's basically an offshoot of SVU which is pretty ridiculous and over the top. I liked the antisocial tech chick Sloot but the rest of the cast outside of Angela are pretty boring especially Richie and Gina. I was glad when she got killed. I was under the impression that this was it in regards to the Wheatley case. Interesting to see if it actually does continue on into S2.

Jr did the heel turn 2x.

Wow that was a wild season finale. Didn’t expect the heel turn by Morales and then then Richard Jr turning on his Dad. I loved it. This was so different compared to the other Law and Order shows.

And the Wolf shows next season need to drop the inconsistent use of masks. Just don’t have anyone aside from hospital personnel wear them anymore. This show pretty much dropped masks after episode 2.

Dylan McDermott will return for the 2nd season. He will appear in 8 episodes.

He is the best thing about the show, IMO.

Stabler’s sporting the bushy goatee. They are in production and Meloni didn’t shave after the break.
