Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 6 Review: Dangerous Ground

More often than not, Frank is a pillar of integrity. He makes selections that are not in style and that his workers would not perceive, however they make sense due to his dedication to his cops and his household.

Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 6 was the exception to the rule.

Frank declined a talking invitation that might have allowed him to share his knowledge with a bunch of scholars excited about legal justice, all as a result of he felt a earlier crop of scholars had disrespected the NYPD. That wasn’t an integrity-based determination. It was purely petty.

Frank’s reasoning made little sense right here. Refusing to talk to this yr’s college students as a result of a earlier group had requested loaded questions did not accomplish something.

Going by with that plan would solely deprive the present college students of the chance to study from Frank. If something, it will solidify any anti-cop sentiment if the present commissioner refused to interact with college students.

Sadly, in right this moment’s world, anti-cop attitudes are an issue that must be handled. Avoiding conditions the place these unfavourable opinions may come up is not any option to cope with them. It is also out of character for Frank to run from one of these state of affairs.

Frank: Final time, it was an ambush. College students requested questions that made the division look dangerous.
Garrett: That was three years in the past. These college students are gone.
Frank: The professors who have been behind it will not be.
Garrett: It is a legal justice program. I am positive it would not have an anti-cop agenda.
Frank: And a few professors with an agenda are doing their finest to alter that.

A greater answer can be to deal with the scholars’ issues and proper misconceptions. If Frank thinks the professors have a biased, unfair agenda in opposition to the police, then the reality is his finest weapon.

As Frank stated, actions show who the NYPD are; his willingness to interact with doubtlessly hostile college students actually, respectfully, and pretty might go a good distance towards resolving their points with cops.

As an alternative, he practically selected pettiness. That may have been a horrible concept!

Thankfully, Frank’s workers knew what to do to get by to him when Henry could not. I hope Frank had an inkling that Henry would ask him to talk and had some remarks ready.

Respect gave the impression to be the phrase of the hour. Perceived disrespect was additionally behind Danny and Jamie’s battle, and Erin wasn’t pleased with Joe both as a result of she thought he was disrespectful to her.

As most brothers do, Jamie and Danny have a protracted, difficult historical past. As well as, Jamie was proper: Danny was too near this case as a result of it concerned a person who had misplaced his spouse to a violent crime.

In spite of everything was stated and performed, the massive boss was in jail, and Elijah was returned to Danny in handcuffs. So why was Danny so deadset in opposition to this operation? It wasn’t like Elijah was going free.

How did Andre discover out concerning the deal Danny allegedly reduce with Elijah? Danny was offended that Andre was now in jail too, however that would not have occurred if somebody hadn’t leaked the association to Andre.

Elijah: I did not imply to shoot that lady. I did not have a selection.
Danny: You pulled the set off. You had a selection.

Danny can also be large on private duty. He advised Elijah that he might have chosen to not pull the set off, so why would not the identical factor apply to Andre? Andre’s frustration was comprehensible, however his option to attempt to shoot a handcuffed man was what received him in bother; it is ludicrous in charge Jamie for that.

This feud between Jamie and Danny would not seem anyplace close to over. Jamie’s try and clean issues over went nowhere, and it will take time earlier than these two can have one another’s backs once more.

If Linda have been alive, not solely would Danny not have taken this case so personally, however this argument would by no means have reached a fever pitch. Linda would have put her foot down about Danny strolling out on Sunday dinner over it. She had a manner of getting by to Danny that nobody else can imitate.

Erin and Anthony’s case was fascinating. I used to be shocked Davis was alive when Anthony and Joe went to his condo. I figured Manny had killed him.

Finally, Erin proved that Manny had been extorting an ADA and added further prices to his case, which is an effective end result. Not so good: her pettiness about the best way Joe behaved.

It would not matter that Joe is her nephew fairly than her brother. Like her brothers, he’s a cop, and when the DA’s workplace interferes together with his case, he’ll give her crap about it.

Erin appeared petty when she advised Joe his father can be ashamed of him. Utilizing Joe’s late father, whom he by no means knew, in opposition to him like that was significantly uncool.

Joe has the identical temperament as Danny and can get offended when somebody messes together with his case. Erin must study to cope with it as a substitute of appearing like he is a lesser relation who would not have the identical proper to confront her when a case goes south.

That does not imply that Joe’s conduct was applicable, however Erin’s response definitely wasn’t. It is good that Joe wasn’t at Sunday dinner; Danny and Jamie’s argument was dangerous sufficient with out Erin and Joe entering into it.

I nearly wished there was a second dinner scene. There by no means is, however the household dinners are presupposed to be heat and supply a extra lighthearted tone than the primary tales. This drama-filled one made me really feel cheated!
