Frank’s resolution to not endorse anybody within the Manhattan DA’s workplace prompted a variety of drama.
Folks stored displaying up in his workplace, a few of them irate on Erin’s behalf, however he refused to budge.
Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 2 had a cheerful ending to a completely ridiculous battle.
Frank’s coverage has all the time been to deal with Danny and Jamie the identical method he would non-related cops, so why ought to anybody be stunned that he did not wish to deal with Erin otherwise than some other candidate?
It wasn’t as if he had endorsed her opponent. He declined to make any endorsement within the race in any respect.
Erin hasn’t formally introduced her bid, so it will be ridiculous for him to endorse her. And past that, she is not owed an endorsement by anyone, not even her father.
Garett: Are we going to present the events concerned a heads up?
Frank: Would we usually give them a heads up?
Garett: No, however this is not regular.
Frank: It must be.
Garett: Wishing will not make it so.
Frank: However actions will.
There have been good causes for Frank to chorus from endorsing anybody on this race.
If he endorsed Erin, the pundits would have a discipline day over it; many would possibly speculate that he solely supported her due to their familial relationship. That could not be good for her marketing campaign!
And if he endorsed another person, it will harm Erin’s emotions and provides that particular person an outsized benefit as a result of commentators and voters would possibly assume that the candidate should be extraordinary for Frank to choose them over his daughter.
Regardless of who Frank endorsed, it will harm Erin’s possibilities, so it was higher for him to remain out of it.
Erin thought that Frank’s non-endorsement was a tacit acknowledgment that she deliberate to return after him onerous as a part of her marketing campaign.
That self-centered evaluation would not contemplate the political ramifications of any endorsement Frank would possibly make, but when it permits Erin to forgive him, it is acceptable.
However what on Earth had gotten into Henry? He was as soon as Police Commissioner and may have understood the explanations behind Frank’s resolution.
As a substitute, Henry confirmed up weapons blazing, demanding that Frank endorse Erin as a result of her emotions have been harm.
Frank: I may have been in a gathering.
Henry: To hell along with your assembly.
Frank: That is about Erin, is not it?
Henry: She got here to me in confidence and requested me to not let you know. So that you break my phrase and I break your nostril. And I am the one one who’ll nonetheless do it.
If Erin had an issue with Frank, she ought to have taken it up with him herself earlier than or after Sunday dinner. That is the way in which conflicts are resolved within the Reagan household.
What she mustn’t have achieved is what she did: get her grandfather to battle her battles for her.
Additionally, Erin is meant to be an grownup. Understandably, she may need harm emotions over Frank not publicly endorsing her. However her emotions should not be his solely consideration, and she or he ought to be capable to take care of her disappointment and transfer ahead along with her marketing campaign anyway.
Danny and Baez had considered one of their more odd instances.
There was no physique, no proof of a homicide, and no option to determine who was in that room till Dr. Knight got here ahead.
Knight claimed somebody slashed him and had a wound to show it. He wasn’t urgent expenses, so there was no crime dedicated. Why did Danny and Baez have to hold investigating?
It did not appear very important for the cops to search out the escort and ensure his story. Did Danny assume he harm her after which slashed himself to make it appear to be he was the sufferer?
Danny disliked Knight, however that was no purpose to look so intently at this case. He and Baez did anyway and found that Knight’s daughter slashed him as a result of she was offended that he had intercourse along with her pal.
They hadn’t interacted along with her earlier than her confession; Danny put the case collectively by pressuring the girl the escort labored for. How disappointing!
Jamie’s new job will result in compelling conflicts. His boss’ emphasis on not realizing who is likely to be compromised makes me assume that Jamie would possibly study data that he feels is flawed to maintain from Eddie sooner or later.
Eddie herself will not be compromised, however what if she’s assigned a companion who’s or a witness she’s monitoring down is concerned in some covert dangerous stuff? What’s going to Jamie do then?
I am stunned he did not know what he was moving into till his first assembly together with his new CO. He needed to know that he was engaged on top-secret instances earlier than accepting the job!
Jamie agonized over whether or not or to not stay with the intelligence unit as a result of he was afraid the secrecy would wreck his marriage. He and Eddie ultimately labored that out, however they need to have mentioned it extra completely earlier than Jamie thought-about quitting his new job.
Jamie’s dialog with Henry was one of many highlights of the hour.
Jamie: I am unable to discuss to Eddie about my job and I am unable to even discuss to you concerning the issues I am unable to discuss to her about.
Henry: I’ve stored my share of secrets and techniques in my time.
Jamie: How did you deal with it at house?
Henry: I roamed with the dinosaurs. My spouse would by no means ask me what occurred on the beat.
I really like the particular relationship Jamie has with Henry. Henry’s recommendation was nice; Jamie had to determine what he needed and the right way to take care of the secrecy of this job.
Surprisingly, McNichols’ recommendation to Eddie was additionally respectable. Eddie wants to search out one thing to do aside from consistently trouble her about her resolution to not let Jamie and Eddie work collectively.
Sadly, there wasn’t time within the hour for Jamie to work any intelligence instances, however hopefully, that’ll come.
