How Sam Waterston’s Jack McCoy Exited ‘Law & Order’

Jack McCoy is officially done in the courtroom.

Sam Waterston appeared in his final episode of

“Law & Order” on Thursday, Feb. 22.

Following a conviction and going against the mayor’s

wishes to not question his son, he revealed to ADA Nolan (Hugh Dancy) that he was resigning. “I’ve been

thinking about this for a while. It’s time, it just is,” Jack said, revealing that since he went against the mayor’s wishes, the leader will do everything in his power to make sure Jack loses the election — and it will work.

“He’s going to bury everyone who wronged him, including you — especially you,” he continued. “If I step aside now, the governor will be able to appoint someone — someone with integrity.”
