In tonight’s Blue Bloods episode, a cop was beaten up on his way home. Detective O’Neill ran into a group of guys right before it happened. He flashed them his badge and it didn’t work. Not during these times. He therefore had to flash his gun to get the guys to back off and now those men are suspected of beating him up.
The detective was wake just long enough to tell people what happened. He later couldn’t do much talking as he was deeply injured and there was a chance he might not make it. But the cop isn’t the problem. The problem is his wife. She was at the hospital with him when the Police Commissioner stopped by and she demanded to do a press conference. She wanted to tell the world about the men she believed hurt her husband. And it was Frank who had to talk her out of it.
Frank doesn’t do anything without evidence. He needed evidence as to why O’Neill was injured. It couldn’t just be because he was a cop and yes cops are now more hated than ever. It still shouldn’t affect the way an investigation is carried out. Frank told the wife to hold off on the press conference. They didn’t know the motive of whoever attacked her husband and it’s a good thing he held off because his son later got word on the street that the cop was dirty. He was working with the gangs. That could be why he was attacked. Danny later met with his father alone. He told him about what he heard and Frank asked him to investigate.
Sometimes family turns to family in trying times. Frank’s father Henry did the same with Jamie. The two of them went to a funeral for Henry’s old friend in the police department and that’s where they heard that Harold didn’t die from a heart attack. He died from bumping his head after falling over. Harold lived alone and that’s what everyone assumed happened. But Henry thinks differently. He doesn’t want to think his friend would go out like that and so he looked into their enemies. One of those guys got out a week before Harold’s death. It wasn’t the first time that a homicide was passed off as an accidental death.
The two men were carrying out their investigation as Danny was getting ahead with his. Danny went back to his source on O’Neill and he learned that O’Neill was working with the Dead Twins. The source’s source was his half-brother. His brother used to be in the life and he got out. He’s now a family man. He owns and runs a bar. He still sometimes hears things off the street, but he doesn’t want to get hurt for it and so he won’t give them what they need to go after the Dead Twins gang. Only he did give them a name. He gave Tee. Tee was an enforcer for the Dead Twins. He just got out of prison and the brother he may have had something to do with the attack on O’Neill.
It seems that O’Neill was getting overly familiar with the actual twins behind the Dead Twins logo. Bugs even said that he crossed a line and that concurs with what else Danny and his partner found. They found out that O’Neill had no reason to be in that neighborhood during the time of night. He wasn’t working a case like he told his wife and he wasn’t in fact on his way home. It was out of the way to be honest. Danny and Baez went to go talk to this Tee to get his whereabouts on the night of the attack and they were ambushed. They were lured into a trap and almost killed. It was amazing that no one was hurt.
Danny and his partner figured they must have been set up. They went to go question Bugs and, while they were doing this, Frank spoke to O’Neill. He regained consciousness. Frank came right out to ask O’Neill about what happened and O’Neill said that he did take money from the gang. He was dirty. He used them to get tips on rival gangs and again he accepted money. O’Neill was dirty. He admitted as much to Frank and later Frank’s son managed to capture the men that beat him up. So, case closed. The only loose end was O’Neill’s wife. She wasn’t told the truth. She just knew there wouldn’t be a press conference and so she went to Frank demanding why.
Frank was honest with her. He told her that he knew his word alone wouldn’t be able to help her and that she should talk to her husband. Meanwhile Jamie into the death of his grandfather’s friend. He learned that Harrold’s death was truly an accident. The chief suspect had a solid alibi and had made peace with Harold long ago. There was no other evidence indicating foul play. The death was accidentally and it was going to be a while before Henry accepts that.
Erin in the meantime had crossed a boundary with Anthony and there’s no telling if they can recover from it.
And Edie was finally connecting with her new partner and it was all over his love of books.
THE END!
