Law and Order OC viewers slam Stabler’s ‘creepy’ plot twist

Law and Order OC: Stabler sees the ghost of dead wife Kathy

NBC’s hit crime drama Law and Order OC returned to screens on Thursday as Elliot Stabler (played by Christopher Meloni) and his team of detectives took on another mysterious case. 

During Pareto Principle, they were called to investigate a murder, which the Feds believed was linked to a string of bank robberies. 

However, the detectives hit a wall as they struggled to pin the crime on Junior Suarez (Marc Reign), who had a seemingly tight alibi. 

Although the case required Stabler’s full attention, his personal life was also at the forefront of the episode as his late wife, Kathy Stabler (Isabel Gillies) was on his mind. 

As Stabler’s mother, Bernadette Stabler (Ellen Burstyn) is living with early dementia, she set the table for three as she forgot Kathy had died.

As a suspect also asked Stabler why he didn’t wear his wedding ring, it prompted a major twist during the final moments of episode 20. 

The detective was working late alone in the office when he spotted a mysterious figure walking around. 

As he was picking up the crime scene photos, he looked up and thought his colleague Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Sieger) was still in the building. 

He followed her into the interrogation room only to discover Kathy’s ghost wearing a hospital gown and sitting at the table.
