Though Moore's departure from the show had been long rumored, the confirmation came in Wednesday's new episode of the CBS procedural, as his character decided to leave the team and focus on being a family man -- one that, you know, doesn't get abducted and shot at.
The move comes during what's been an especially challenging season for Morgan, who survived a traumatic abduction just a few weeks ago.
Understandable as the character's motivations for leaving his post may be, that doesn't mean fans are taking it well.
I mean, they're really not taking it well.
