Warning: spoilers ahead for the Season 22 finale of Law & Order, called “Open Wounds.”
The Season 22 finale of Law & Order was a packed episode, and not just because it was the last of the 2022-2023 TV schedule. “Open Wounds” marked star Sam Waterston’s 400th episode, which is a milestone that few actors ever hit, let alone an actor whose show was cancelled and then revived years later. The case of the week was complicated, as Price had to prosecute a man who assassinated a senator while suffering from the effects of PTSD, and the defense attorney was none other than Jack McCoy’s daughter Rebecca. By the end of the hour, there was a seemingly minor reveal about the McCoy family that I suspect could be relevant in the already-renewed Season 23.
