Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Law & Order season 24, episode 8, “Bad Apple.”Law & Order season 24, episode 8, “Bad Apple,” includes a fall finale cliffhanger that suggests that Maura Tierney’s Jessica Brady may be exiting the series only half a season after joining it. Brady became the new commanding officer at the homicide unit after Camryn Manheim’s Kate Dixon left Law & Order. She made it clear from the beginning that she is a no-nonsense leader who doesn’t care what her officers think of her, as long as they do what she asks them to. This ruffled Riley’s (Reid Scott) feathers and made it harder for him to accept the change.
