Law & Order's 'Never Say Goodbye' guest stars include Emily Bergl, Scott Adsit, Eisa Davis

Season 25 of Law & Order continued its streak of high-profile guest turns in the January 29 episode “Never Say Goodbye,” which follows the 27th Precinct as it investigates the shooting and murder of retiring pilot Mark Turner.

The episode centers on grieving widow Kate Leavy, who spent hours talking to an AI-generated avatar of her late husband and came to believe his death was an FAA conspiracy; according to the episode, Kate killed Turner in revenge after that belief took hold. The case led to a modern courtroom showdown that tested the detectives and attorneys.

Notable guest stars in the episode include Emily Bergl as Kate Leavy, Eisa Davis as defense attorney Virginia Hogan, Scott Adsit as Brian Leavy (the avatar), and Alexandra Neil as Claire Turner. A longer guest list in the episode also names Daryl Edwards, Chamblee Ferguson, Carol Todd and others.

The episode highlights Bergl’s turn as a grief-fueled perpetrator and notes her past appearances in Law & Order franchises, while Davis’s Virginia Hogan attempts legal strategies after the AI company’s role in Kate’s actions is revealed. Adsit’s Brian Leavy appears via realistic video-chat interactions that drove the plot.

You can watch Season 25 of Law & Order Thursdays at 8/7c on NBC and the next day on Peacock to see the full episode and its guest performances.
