Callie Thorne was again, and this time her character was much less flighty.
Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 3 handled Danny and Baez’s investigation after Maggie was stabbed.
Maggie bonded with Baez and the newborn and helped catch her would-be killer with out changing into annoying.
Whereas I like Callie Thorne, I’ve by no means been an enormous Maggie fan. It is not a lot that she’s a psychic, however she by no means felt fairly like an actual particular person earlier than. Her psychic talents and eccentric character have been too excessive.
This time, Maggie was against the law sufferer who had quickly misplaced her present, making her extra relatable.
She did not appear any totally different on the hospital than some other sufferer.
She was confused, could not bear in mind a lot about her assault, and frightened about her future.
She’d additionally misplaced her skill to listen to voices and see visions that different folks did not see. Sarcastically, the loss made it extra comprehensible why this was so necessary to her.
She was afraid she’d lose her present completely, which anybody who has ever misplaced any talents following an damage can relate to, even when they do not see auras or hear voices.
However the actual motive Maggie wanted her present was heartbreaking: she needed a connection together with her late daughter.
Even when we’re not psychic, many people can relate to feeling a liked one’s presence after passing away. It is onerous sufficient dropping a toddler — and Maggie’s daughter was murdered, which makes it even worse — with out dropping the consolation of feeling their spirit with you.
Maggie felt like she was dropping her daughter over again, and that was harder for her to bear than she admitted.
Her position in catching her would-be killer was amusing.
When Danny and Baez advised him that Maggie was useless, it wasn’t clear what the purpose was, however Maggie’s silent confrontation made the purpose clear.
That perp was none too swift. He’d confessed to homicide when Maggie gave him a message from past, then tried to kill what he thought was a ghost of his newest sufferer.
If anybody needs to be off the streets completely, it is him. Let’s hope he does not get launched, because of bail reform!
In the meantime, Eddie confirmed an indignant lady that there are nonetheless good cops on this planet.
This was a wierd story for a number of causes, not the least as a result of it did not appear related to the primary a part of the hour.
Eddie and Luis arrested some entitled brat who tried to assault a scorching canine vendor over an additional greenback he claimed she owed him. Stated brat threatened to damage the cops’ lives. He was launched on a desk look ticket and promptly vanished into skinny air.
If Eddie mistakenly thought he was the one who messed together with her automobile, that might have been sufficient to attach his story to the vandalism incident. He might have been cleared rapidly after which disappeared.
As an alternative, Eddie’s two tales felt like a part of two totally different episodes. The wealthy child did not have something to do with something; he was most likely meant to be a purple herring, however since he disappeared earlier than he could possibly be accused, it did not work.
Diane assumed Luis and Eddie have been sleeping collectively regardless of Eddie’s insistence that she was fortunately married to another person. I assume that is why she messed with Eddie’s automobile; it wasn’t totally clear.
Her rationalization for why she did it was comprehensible however annoying. She’d had loads of stress and Luis ghosting her was the final straw.
Eddie noticed this as a failure to deal with a girl correctly on Luis’ half. Nonetheless, if this lady was going to deal with a relationship of lower than a yr as if it have been a wedding of 25 years and get violent as a result of it did not work out, Luis was most likely proper to chop her unfastened.
Whereas Eddie was coping with this silliness, Jamie and Anthony have been caught following a serial shoplifter within the hopes she would make them the particular person behind a bunch of unlawful gun gross sales.
Jamie took his CI’s phrase for it that this lady was concerned. I do not know the way you’d corroborate one thing like this, however I might suppose they’d need some affirmation earlier than letting her out of jail and tailing her.
It might have ended up being a large waste of assets. It practically was. Anthony and Jamie watched Sheree shoplift from one retailer after one other with out getting wherever till she randomly determined to bolt.
Regardless of the implausibility of this story, Anthony and Jamie working collectively was enjoyable. Anthony should have saved some ire from the final time he labored with Danny as a result of Jamie actually aggravated him!
Lastly, Frank had a choice to make when a less-than-honest earlier commissioner handed away.
I used to be stunned that there was a commissioner between when Henry stepped down and Frank stepped up. Extra shockingly, Connors had one thing to do with forcing Henry out.
There was a 3rd shock, too: Sid was the one to get by way of to Frank this time. Sid will be gruff and is commonly overly loyal to cops who do not deserve it merely as a result of they’re cops.
However this time, he spoke Frank’s language. When he stated that it was about respecting the establishment, that was precisely what Frank wanted to listen to to resolve find out how to honor ex-PC Connors’ passing regardless of the unhealthy blood between him and the division.
It virtually felt like a job reversal; usually, Frank can be the one to elucidate his choices to Sid utilizing that kind of metaphor.
