Over the last few episodes of Law & Order:

Organized Crime, Detective Elliot Stabler

(Christopher Meloni) has put himself in

danger by going undercover to infiltrate

a militia of former Marines in order to find the source of heroin that’s been linked to his younger brother, Joe Jr.

How to Watch
Watch Law & Order: Organized Crime Thursdays at 10/9c on NBC and next day on Peacock.

In a shocking twist at the end of Season 4, Episode 11, that trail now seems to be leading directly to Joe Stabler (Michael Trotter).

Just how deeply Joe is caught up became apparent when the youngest of the Stabler brothers confronted the eldest, Randall (Dean Norris), in a bar to stave off his family’s investigation of his connection to a heroin ring.

Stabler’s brother Joe Jr. warns his family they could get “hurt”
Joe, who’d been MIA since splitting after his siblings confronted him about finding drug paraphernalia in his hotel safe, approached Randall at the watering hole. “Where have you been? I’ve been looking for you,” Randall asked.

“I’m not here for another reunion,” Joe Jr. warned. “I’m here to tell you to stop looking for me… You’re going to get yourself hurt.”

As Randall tried to figure out what Joe was talking about, the younger sibling warned again, “I’m telling you. Leave it alone.”
