Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9 Spoilers: An Explosive Fistfight As The Series Gets Closer to the End
Is Jamie about to ruin his career?
Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9 spoilers have him on the hotseat with Frank after a public fistfight with Joe Hill.
Both these guys should know better, but Jamie has more to lose, and neither one should be happy to land in Frank’s office over something like this.
There has never been much love lost between Jaime and Joe, but Jamie is not usually the stereotypical macho cop who settles everything with his fists.
Still, Joe’s pissed him off pretty badly in the past, and in a weird way, the guys beating each other up signals that Jamie sees Joe as a family — he’s treating his nephew like an annoying little brother.
Jamie Has a Lot To Lose
Jamie’s been rising through the ranks since he reversed course about becoming a sergeant. He runs patrols and works in the Field Intelligence Office now.
He doesn’t need to risk throwing that all away for whatever nonsense Joe is doing that gets under his skin.
Hopefully, this incident won’t put too much of a black mark on Jamie’s record.
Blue Bloods’ cancellation leaves limited time for the series to straighten out any messes made here. Before this incident, Jamie was the best choice to replace Frank as commissioner if the show wraps up with Frank stepping down.
It can’t be good news for him to get called into Frank’s office under these circumstances.
Frank’s Fairness Might Cause Family Tension
Frank always tries to be a man of principle, and one of the cardinal rules he lives by is that he will treat his relatives no differently than any other cop in the NYPD.
If he has to suspend Jamie and Joe or impose serious consequences, so be it.

That’s as it should be. It would be the height of corruption for Jamie or Joe to get away with no consequences for having a public fistfight that civilians recorded on their cell phones.
That’s the type of police behavior that needs to be discouraged no matter who the people involved are. It was bad enough that Sid wanted to fight an annoying younger cop in the boxing ring on Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 7.
Jamie and Joe don’t need to be doing it in the street. It gives the force a bad name at a time when public confidence in the police is at an all-time low.
These two don’t need to give ammunition to people who believe all cops are evil and that the police department should be abolished.

Still, if Frank has to punish these guys for acting like middle schoolers, that’ll cause tension that’ll spill over into the Sunday family dinner no matter how much they try to leave their emotions at the door.
Danny Faces an Interesting Dilemma
What do you do when you’re a cop but you can’t keep your kids from getting hurt by criminals?
That’s the question Danny Reagan must ask himself after Sean is involved in a campus robbery.
![Danny's Son - Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 9](https://tv-fanatic-res.cloudinary.com/iu/s--WXf9Uq0U--/t_xlarge_p/cs_srgb,d_tv-fanatic-placeholder-square.png,f_auto,fl_strip_profile.lossy,q_auto:420/v1715105615/dannys-son-blue-bloods-s14e9.jpg)
It’s scary for any parent if their child is robbed, especially if there are weapons involved. For Danny, it’s got to be twice as unnerving because he’s supposed to protect people from these types of crimes.
Sean’s behavior during the robbery could also cause Danny to pause. The safest thing to do when confronted by an armed robber is to hand your things over, as your life is more important than possessions. However, after growing up in a cop family, Sean might have other ideas.
He may try to use negotiation techniques he’s heard his family talk about or tell the robber that attacking a cop’s son is a bad idea.
That could put Sean in danger or make things worse than they otherwise would have been, leaving Danny feeling even more guilty about not ensuring Sean would be safe.
