With only two episodes left in season 5, Law & Order: Organized Crime is working through several Stabler family story arcs at once. While the IAB investigation into Eli's (Nicky Torchia) shooting of Pietro Spezzano (Luca Rickman) continues, and as Bernadette (Ellen Burstyn) recovers from her fall, Elliot (Christopher Meloni) reveals a major secret to his brother Randall (Dean Norris) in the story of Joe Jr. (Michael Trotter).

During the first two seasons of Law & Order: Organized Crime, Dylan McDermott's Richard Wheatley was the main foe of Elliot Stabler (Christopher Meloni), and was a prime suspect in the murder of the detective's wife, Kathy. With McDermott returning to Law & Order: Organized Crime in season 2, Stabler's focus shifted to chasing Wheatley to unravel and take down his criminal enterprise, which ended with the villain's (apparent) death in episode 14 of season 2.

Law & Order: Organized Crime has a few loose ends still out in the larger Law & Order universe, and one of the major pathways in the life of Christopher Meloni's Elliot Stabler is the status of his younger brother, Joe Jr. (Michael Trotter). Joe Jr.'s story took an unexpected and shocking turn during the season 4 finale, linking arms with a drug lord and strapped to a chemical weapon on his way to Cuba.

In the world of Law & Order: Organized Crime, undercover work plays a major component of what the Organized Crime Control Bureau does, hunting down the worst of the worst in the criminal underworld. Organized Crime season 5, in particular, has seen a much darker tone and element to its stories, as the show has moved to Peacock, and one of the Bureau's most devoted detectives, Det. Bobby Reyes (played by Rick Gonzalez) continues to play a pivotal role in the team led by Det. Elliott Stabler (played by Christopher Meloni).

In Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5, Camorra's presence is taking hold of New York City. Detective Elliott Stabler (Law & Order mainstay Christopher Meloni) and the Organized Crime Control Bureau are working to get to the bottom of why the criminal enterprise ended up stateside in the first place. Stabler pulls in a request from a former informant, Isabella Spezzano (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio), who helped him in Italy to take down her brother, Rocco, and the Camorra crime syndicate in exchange for bringing her grandchildren to America for safety.
