As the finale of Law and Order SVU is almost here, there are plenty spoilers available to fans, but most of the speculation is focussed on Nick Amaro's (Danny Pino) fate on the show.

In an interview with TVGuide dated May 20, showrunner Warren Leight dished on the Amaro's future on the show suggesting that he was at the end of his rope when it came to remaining in the force.

Leight reasoned Amaro's violent behavior and why he kept getting himself into trouble, which this time around might motivate the top bosses to axe him.

"All the anger he has towards his wife, all the anger he has towards guys who have gotten away with crimes, it all gets projected onto [Josh Malina's character] and he just snapped," Leight said. "We had little moments in this season where you saw these different guys under pressure. Three years into his job, he hasn't figured out how to deal with the stresses of SVU."

As is already known by the recently released preview, Amaro will be put behind bars for attacking Simon Wilkes on charges of attempted murder. Leight suggests that this time, Amaro might not be able to salvage his job, even though his heart is in the right place.

"What's hard for him is that there's not much he can do to save his job. He snapped, he beat somebody up," Leight said. "He broke the law and he's dispirited and imprisoned when we see him. He's not fighting to save himself the way he has in the past. At some point, Rollins visits him in prison and she says, 'People are trying to help you, but you got to take their hand.' Both Rollins and Munch do what they can to defend him because he's not really defending himself."

The finale, titled Spring Awakening, will air on Wednesday, May 21 at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
