Forgive our trespassers – Season 13, Episode 21
Sometimes, it’s that situation that shines and makes an episode of “Blue Bloods” interesting. “Forgive Our Trespassers” is the final episode of Season 13 and a natural starting point for anyone wanting a quick primer on what’s going on with the Reagan clan as Season 14 approaches . It also has an excellent case that helps highlight what the process does well and why it has stood the test of time over the past decade.
The episode follows Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) and his former partner Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez) as they investigate a series of copycat murders simulating those committed by Dr. Leonard Walker (Mather Zickel), a committed by the serial killer they had previously imprisoned. during the season. They are not alone on the battlefield and are joined by Danny’s old partner, Jackie Curatola (Jennifer Esposito), now a small-town sheriff. As the trio dig deeper into their suspect profile, they find their lives are in danger — and things may not be as clear-cut with Walker as they once believed.
“Forgive Our Trespassers” is as close to a warm hug in an episode as the show has ever had, and Jackie isn’t the only long-lost character to return. Nicky Reagan-Boyle (Sami Gayle) appears after a season of absence. It also helps audiences keep up with the politics the Reagan family is constantly involved in, as Erin (Bridget Moynahan) deals with a difficult case and Frank (Tom Selleck) finds himself facing off against Mayor Chase (Dylan Walsh) in New York. fight homelessness. This episode is not only an important starting point for the Season 13 catch-up, but for the show as a whole.
Something Blue – Season 9, Episode 22
“Blue Bloods” isn’t necessarily famous for its romances. While Danny had a long-term romance with his wife, Linda (Amy Carlson), which was tragically cut short, most of the Reagans were single, their lives revolving around family and their career. That’s what makes “Something Blue” so important, as it brings the show’s second-longest-running romantic plot to its sweet — albeit uncomplicated — peak.
Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) gradually build their relationship from Season 4 onwards. Their fighting, their make-ups and their advances and retreats eventually lead to a wedding that brings the entire Reagan family together in a joyous celebration in Season 9. Of course, there are some problems along the way – as Erin clings to her belief that Eddie is at fault when witness statements in a key case don’t add up, leading to a family war at the worst possible time. Danny and Baez investigate a love case that goes terribly wrong and Frank faces conflicts at work. But despite everything, the Reagans united with the Jankos, and Jamie and Eddie embarked on a relationship that remained generally harmonious over the next four seasons since their victorious commitment.
It’s harmonious but for many fans, it may be less than thrilling. While later seasons haven’t done Jamie and Eddie’s relationship justice – a sore point for many viewers who wanted them to have children or carry on a significant story arc – at least audiences got the moment this fun.
