Ellen Burstyn’s character Bernadette “Bernie” Stabler is now firmly at the center of Law & Order: Organized Crime’s season 5 storyline, as revealed in an exclusive clip from Thursday’s new episode. The scene shows Randall, Bernie’s brother, returning home to find his mother collapsed on the floor after a mysterious ordeal.
The clip confirms concerns over Bernie’s mental health, particularly her display of early signs of dementia, and suggests that she may be in grave danger. Her ability to recall information about her missing son Joseph “Joey” Stabler Jr., who was last seen handcuffed to a suitcase full of chemical weapons, has raised suspicions among the Stabler family.
As the investigation into Bernie’s situation unfolds, it appears that Joey’s return home may not be as straightforward as initially thought. With the state Bernie is in and the mysterious calls she receives, the stakes are high for the entire Stabler family to get their baby brother back safely.
Law & Order: Organized Crime season 5, episode 8 will air on Peacock on May 22, with new episodes following every Thursday.
