This seemed like a stand-alone story. Did they need a filler episode before this break? None of the shows are back until March 23. It would be pointless to start a story arc now. This story bored me. Stereotypical bikers, characters I cared zero for, an uninteresting story. Can this series get any worse? Meloni deserves better than this.
Honestly, the current season of Law & Order: Organized Crime has not been great. I really enjoyed season 1 of the show and Kosta and Donnelly/Webb arcs in season 2. The season premiere (Gimme Shelter) was amazing, however, the majority of the season, and causing the show, to go downhill. I miss the show's consistency in terms of the cases they solved (around six to eight episodes per criminal). If they had given each Teddy Silas, this story of the biker gangs, and Eamon Murphy eight-episode arcs, I believe that the season would have been better. Admittedly, Teddy Silas is a bit boring, but, I still believe it would have been better if he was given the first eight episodes so we no longer had to see him again. I even thought at some points the Donnelly/Webb arc last season was a bit boring, but I still enjoyed much of it. This season only saw me being interested in the first three Teddy Silas episodes (Everybody Knows the Dice Are Loaded, Catch Me If You Can, Spirit in the Sky), Eamon Murphy episodes (Partners in Crime, Punch Drunk, All in the Game) and the biker gang episode (The Wild and the Innocent). If, and hopefully so, they get renewed for a fourth season, I hope that they return to the eight-episode arcs. The only hope I had during season 2 was that they have courtroom scenes, but season 3 is making me miss the eight-episode arcs lacking these scenes. Hopefully, in future seasons, they have their eight-episode arcs for each criminal and have courtroom scenes. Before the beginning of season 3, I heard that the showrunner decided not to return to the eight-episode arcs because Stabler cannot be undercover forever. However, I find this annoying because they destroyed the show's great formula while having him go undercover anyways.
