Dylan’s character went out with a bang in “Wheatley Is to Stabler…”, which aired on March 3. In the episode, Richard hijacked New York City’s power grid and took the city hostage. Although Elliot was able to save the day, Richard managed to elude him. His remains were never found, leading viewers to believe that the criminal is still at large.

Richard’s open-ended exit from the series suggests that he and Elliot will meet again. But we probably won’t find out what happened to the Organized Crime bad guy anytime soon, as the actor has confirmed that he's leaving the show.

Following Dylan's exit, Chris Meloni spoke with Entertainment Tonight, who he said he'll miss Dylan dearly. “He was good in front of the camera. He was great when it was off. [He has a] cheeky sensibility and good sense of humor. . . So, I wish him the best,” he shared.

While Organized Crime viewers may have seen the last of Richard for now, we won’t have to wait long before Dylan is back on the small screen. He recently joined the cast of FBI: Most Wanted as Julian McMahon's replacement.
