Spoilers ahead for the Season 24 premiere of Law & Order, called "Catch and Kill." Law & Order returned in the 2024 TV schedule with the murder of a Brooklyn prosecutor and Maroun struggling with the particulars of the case due to the similarities to what happened to her sister,

The case is closed on the lieutenant of Law & Order. But why did Camryn Manheim leave Law & Order? The actress, who mad her debut on the legal drama 30 years ago, may not have retired as Lieutenant Kate Dixon on the best terms with NBC after all.

When Shaw asks her what happened to Dixon, she doesn’t know and turns the focus to the case. Riley tells her she needs to give them more than that, but, “No, because I don’t know,” she says and again turns to the case. And while the detectives may have the crime scene covered, since she’s already there, she’s not leaving.
