[Spoiler] and [Spoiler] Had a Surprising Hookup in the Organized Crime Premiere
We did not see this one coming as two franchise regulars seek comfort in each other on Law & Order: Organized Crime.
It was the kiss felt around the world.
Fans are likely still recovering from the surprising reveal at the end of the Law & Order: Organized Crime Season 4 premiere that two fan favorite detectives have been secretly hooking up.
The revelation came after the team worked on a tough case involving “the top fentanyl distributers on the Eastern Seaboard.” and as Detective Jet Slootmaekers (Ainsley Seiger) was winding down at home when Detective Bobby Reyes (Rick Gonzalez) showed up unannounced.

The bombshell was dropped after Reyes, who was seen earlier in the episode wearing his wedding ring, stopped by Jet’s apartment to check on his fellow detective after the particularly challenging case.
“I just needed to make sure you were ok,” Reyes told her as he stood at the door.
Are Jet Slootmaekers and Bobby Reyes having an affair?
Jet assured her married colleague she was “fine” when Reyes came to check on her, but the surprise drop-in took an unexpected turn when Reyes gently made his way into the apartment and gazed into her eyes, making it clear his concern was more than platonic.
And it seems, shockingly, that this isn’t new territory for these two. “I thought we agreed we weren’t going to do this again,” Jet told him.
“We did,” Reyes said, before the two shared a passionate kiss.
Just as the romance was heating up, Jet kicked the door closed, leaving fans to wonder just when this surprising clandestine relationship began.
How have the Organized Crime detectives been dealing with Jamie Whelan’s death?
The team certainly has been under some intense stress in the wake of Detective Jamie Whelan’s (Brent Antonello) heartbreaking death last season — something Elliot Stabler (Chris Meloni) referred to earlier in the Season 4 premiere.
“How they doing?,” he asked Sergeant Ayanna Bell (Danielle Moné Truitt) of the rest of the team after returning from an undercover mission of his own.
“Jet’s sharp edges are more like razor blades,” Sgt. Bell replied. “She’s keeping everything close to the vest and Reyes has thrown himself into work a little bit too much. Reminds me of you. Not in a good way.”
It’s clear Jamie’s death has made an impact on the entire team in more ways than one.
“He left a big hole,” Stabler agreed.

Reyes was introduced as a new undercover detective on Organized Crime in Season 3, after leaving his previous posts with the Narcotics and Anti-Crime units. He’s proved himself to be an efficient and valuable member of the team who is willing to do whatever it takes to bring the bad guys to justice.
The whip-smart Jet has been with the OCCB since Season 1. The former hacker is constantly putting her computer skills to use, while employing a dry wit all her own.
Reyes and Jet go undercover on Law & Order: Organized Crime
In the Season 4 premiere, Jet proved just how versatile her skills can be when she went undercover as an entitled girlfriend to Reyes’ more dopey boyfriend. Reyes’ undercover character was looking to transform his high-end luxury car at a skins shop believed to be secretly helping a dangerous fentanyl ring.

While Reyes waxed on about his dreams of covering his high-end car with images of tigers or fighting robots to the staff at the shop, Jet took the opportunity to slip away and get digital data stored on one of the trucks used by the ring.
Could this undercover assignment have reignited dormant feelings between the two? Or has their secret love affair been a more regular thing?
