The Stabler family has landed themselves in some serious hot water on Season 4 of Law & Order: Organized Crime, which leaves fans to wonder: Does Elliot Stabler die in Law & Order: Organized Crime? Keep reading to find out.

Law & Order: Organized Crime is the sixth spin-off in Dick Wolf’s Law & Order franchise. It follows SVU‘s Detective Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni) as he returns to the NYPD to battle organized crime after his wife’s murder. The series first premiered in 2021 and also stars Rick Gonzalez as Detective Bobby Reyes, Danielle Moné Truitt as Sergeant Ayanna Bell and Ainsley Seiger as Detective Jet Slootmaekers.

Season 4 introduced two new members of Elliot’s family: his older brother Randall (played by Dean Norris) and his troubled younger brother Joe Jr. (played by Michael Trotter). The past few episodes have focused on Elliot and the task force’s attempts to bring down a major drug trafficking ring. As it turns out, Joe Jr. has ties to the ringleader, and a promo for the season finale suggests that both he and Elliot are in big trouble. Will the Stabler brothers make it out alive? Here’s what we know about Elliot’s fate.

Does Elliot Stabler die in Law & Order: Organized Crime?

Does Elliot Stabler die in Law & Order: Organized Crime? Although Elliot has found himself in a precarious situation yet again, he will most likely survive the Season 4 finale.

The same can’t be said for Joe Jr., though. In the penultimate episode, viewers learned that Joe Jr. is struggling with a heroin addiction and is also mixed up with Julian Emery (Tom Payne), the head of the drug organization that Elliot is investigating. In fact, Emery was the reason that Joe Jr. was dishonorably discharged from the army years prior. Halfway through the episode, Randall and Elliot kidnapped Joe Jr. and attempted to get him clean, but the latter escaped and was seen boarding a private plan with Emery. However, Joe Jr. assured his big brother that he is on his side, telling Stabler: “Now you’ve got a guy on the inside.”

The siblings’ undercover operation appears to go awry in the series finale, and the promo for the high-stakes episode suggests that it might not end well for Joe Jr. “I’m putting my brother in the line of fire,” Elliot can be heard telling his sergeant, Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt). The clip then cuts to several police cars and SVUs racing to a warehouse, as Bell eerily forewarns: “Something’s not right.” The promo concludes with Elliot searching the warehouse and looking confused, just before Joe Jr. is seen climbing aboard another private jet. “Do you think he’s playing both sides?” Stabler says of his brother.

The official synopsis for the finale reads: “When the ATF Bureau plans a raid of Redcoat’s warehouse, Trisha promises to help Stabler keep Joe Jr. safe; Bell comes face to face with the man who killed Sam; another Stabler family dinner causes tensions to run high.”

Although it’s unclear how the events of the finale will shake out, it’s not looking for Joe Jr., who could get caught in the crossfires of the raid. Another theory is that Emery will learn that he’s working as an informant and kill him. Viewers will just have to tune in to find out, but they can rest assured knowing Elliot will make it out of the episode alive. Organized Crime has already been renewed for a fifth season — although it’s moving over to Peacock — so it’s highly unlikely that the show will kill off its main lead.

Law & Order: Organized Crime airs on NBC on Thursdays at 10 pm EST and streams on Peacock.
