After a deadly bombing claims the life of a spiritual leader, Stabler meets with an officer who's convinced the crime is part of a conspiracy. Tensions rise within the task force as Jet struggles to get her team on board with Vargas' programme.

Stabler and Officer Bashir track down a missing father and son who could lead to the answers they need, Bell relegates Reyes to desk duty after an undercover operation goes sideways, and Stabler reunites with his younger brother.

Stabler leans into his military network to search for the source of a Middle Eastern heroin pipeline making its way to the U.S.; Joe Jr. takes drastic action when his brothers try to stage an intervention; Reyes returns to the squad.

The team works to take down a large-scale drug operation disguised as a local honey farm; in Stabler's absence, Randall searches for Joe Jr. on his own and ends up in a bind.
