Blue Bloods will get higher and higher. The nearer this collection will get to the tip, the extra heartbreaking it’s that it is leaving the airwaves.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9 featured an harmless man paying a steep value when Erin referred to as out his lawyer’s misconduct, Eddie coping with a case that appeared to belong in an recommendation column, and Sean making an attempt to deal with the aftermath of a mugging on his personal.
Even the Jamie/Joe story, which appeared foolish within the spoiler video, was must-see TV.
Danny’s Story Was Precisely What I Anticipated
Nearly all of the predictions within the Blue Bloods Season 4 Episode 9 spoiler submit about Sean and Danny have been right, however that is not as a result of the writing was unhealthy.
It was nearly inevitable that Sean would really feel he should not have turn out to be a sufferer as a result of he comes from a household of cops or surprise what Danny would have performed.
If Linda have been alive, she would have put Danny in his place. No faculty scholar desires their father to write down an excuse be aware to their professor to get them out of an examination, and no professor would settle for one.
Danny’s overprotectiveness got here from an excellent place. He hates seeing his son damage and desires to do no matter he can to make it proper.
That is why the crooked cop at Campus Safety acquired away with robbing college students for therefore lengthy. Most college students have been too hyperindependent to need the NYPD concerned, so it was simple for the campus cop to persuade them to not file a report and go away it to him.
When Danny questioned him initially, he did not give off many indicators that he was responsible, although looking back, I ought to have identified. The pleasant neighborhood cop seems to be the perp so typically that it is a drained TV trope.
From the second Danny recommended his sting concept that concerned Sean sitting within the squad room ready, I knew the possibilities have been exactly zero that Sean would observe instructions.
Positive sufficient, Sean acquired reduce, which earned him a lecture from his shaken-up father, nevertheless it additionally led to the cops cracking the case and Sean getting a date, so he most likely did not be taught a lot.
Cop: You are not gonna consider the phrase of some felon over me. I am a cop.
Danny:: You are additionally an fool.
Sean acquired to be in on Danny arresting the crooked campus cop, too. The man was each bit as a lot an fool as Danny thought, falling again on the “you’ll be able to’t consider witnesses trigger I am a cop” protection, which Danny did not purchase.
Danny ought to have let Sean assist him cuff the man. That may have happy Sean because the case got here to a detailed!
Danny and Sean’s father-son relationship is among the greatest elements of Blue Bloods, and it has been lacking for some time. Danny might not at all times be the perfect father, however he tries his hardest and is determined to guard Sean, who’s equally determined to show himself.
I particularly appreciated Danny telling Sean that his security is extra vital than his possessions, which can be good recommendation for viewers members. Not everybody is aware of to not combat again in opposition to a robber, in order that message was important to get on the market.
Erin’s Case Was Surprisingly Shifting
Erin Reagan is my least favourite character more often than not. She’s inherited Frank’s inflexible adherence to values, nevertheless it would not really feel like a matter of integrity together with her as a lot as it’s that she judges others for not measuring up.
Her angle and incapability to confess when she’s flawed worsen me, so more often than not, I desire her to have the smallest storyline of all of the Reagans.
This time, her story was surprisingly nuanced and emotional. Erin went out of her technique to get justice for a wrongly accused defendant, just for the particular person she was making an attempt to assist to get killed.
Anthony went from bemused that Erin would attempt to hold a man out of jail who he thought deserved to be locked up for an extended whereas to supportive of her objective and her after the person was killed.
Anthony was proper that it wasn’t Erin’s fault. Wanting the opposite means whereas Marcus’ lawyer sacrificed his consumer’s freedom would not have been justice, and there isn’t any assure that somebody would not have stabbed Marcus in jail.
Erin’s work gave Marcus the perfect likelihood of a life along with his daughter. It sucks that he died earlier than he might get to take pleasure in it, however that is the way in which it’s typically, and that actually wasn’t Erin’s fault.
Eddie’s Story Was the Weakest of the Hour
I like Eddie, however giving home recommendation is not a part of her job description. I felt like Kyle’s dilemma belonged in Ask Amy, and it was foolish that Eddie was telling him what to do concerning the affair he had.
I knew Paulina had framed Tina for the burglaries the second Eddie found the couple had a secret storage unit. If Kyle hadn’t stashed the stolen items, the one one who might have been Paulina.
Badillo was positive the landlady was mendacity about operating errands all day and was jealous of Paulina and Kyle’s relationship. He had all of it flawed, however probably the most thrilling factor about his opinion was that he knew who Gladys Kravitz was.
Eddie: How do we all know the florist did not combine her up with another person?
Badillo: He is the neighborhood Gladys Kravitz.
I pegged him as too younger to have watched Bewitched on Nick at Nite or TBS (the 2 locations I discovered the present once I was a child), so I did not count on that reference from him.
When Badillo’s popular culture data is probably the most thrilling a part of a narrative, one thing has gone flawed.
Eddie was way more fascinating when she requested Frank to rethink making Joe and Jamie trip collectively. She wasn’t involved about Jamie dealing with himself in a tough neighborhood. She did not belief Joe, and I could not blame her.
Joe and Jamie’s unhealthy blood stems partially from Joe ignoring Jamie’s orders the final time they have been on a mission collectively throughout Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 2, which triggered a harmful scenario.
Frank Once more Got here Up With a Solomon-Like Resolution
The fistfight between Joe and Jamie was foolish and pointless.
Jamie is usually level-headed. He will need to have drank greater than it appeared at that bar as a result of that is the one clarification for coming to blows with Joe over Joe utilizing the title Hill as a substitute of Reagan.
Sid and Abigail have been proper that ultimately, it was two off-duty cops blowing off steam in a silly method, however Frank could not ignore it.
I’m not speaking to youngsters. I’m speaking to males, or no less than I hope so. You two are New York Metropolis cops. We break up road fights. We do not begin them.
Frank
He should not have needed to inform Jamie and Joe that cops aren’t alleged to be stepping into road fights. Their habits was infantile and ridiculous, and Joe wasn’t significantly better for a lot of the ride-along.
Joe’s angle was unbearable, as traditional. It was disturbing that some cops would purposely scare off the perp so they would not must waste time arresting and reserving the suspect after they had one thing else to do. If Jamie was by no means pressured to do it, that is an excellent factor.
Joe sneering on the Reagans for having integrity is getting outdated, and I assumed he was performed with that.
I hope he’s now.
Frank’s punishment made sense.
He knew Jamie would do his greatest to maintain them secure, and he needed these guys to resolve to get alongside. I additionally agreed with him that the police division would not must make headlines by Frank coming down onerous on his son and grandson for appearing like idiots whereas off-duty.
I needed to surprise what Jamie’s supervisor thought. Jamie simply acquired promoted throughout the Discipline Intelligence Workplace and all of a sudden wasn’t out there as a result of he needed to trip a beat despite the fact that he hadn’t been a beat cop in years.
As Frank mentioned, the blokes broken their repute. If Frank retires on the finish of the collection, it’s going to be tougher for Jamie to interchange him as commissioner with this black mark in opposition to him.
