Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 3 Review: Ghosted

Callie Thorne was again, and this time her character was much less flighty.

Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 3 handled Danny and Baez’s investigation after Maggie was stabbed.

Maggie bonded with Baez and the child and helped catch her would-be killer with out changing into annoying.

While I really like Callie Thorne, I’ve by no means been an enormous Maggie fan. It’s not a lot that she’s a psychic, however she by no means felt fairly like an actual particular person earlier than. Her psychic talents and eccentric persona have been too excessive.

This time, Maggie was against the law sufferer who had quickly misplaced her present, making her extra relatable.

She did not appear any totally different on the hospital than some other sufferer.

She was confused, could not keep in mind a lot about her assault, and frightened about her future.

She’d additionally misplaced her skill to listen to voices and see visions that different individuals did not see. Ironically, the loss made it extra comprehensible why this was so necessary to her.

She was afraid she’d lose her present completely, which anybody who has ever misplaced any talents following an damage can relate to, even when they do not see auras or hear voices.

But the actual purpose Maggie wanted her present was heartbreaking: she wished a connection along with her late daughter.

Even if we’re not psychic, many people can relate to feeling a beloved one’s presence after passing away. It’s exhausting sufficient dropping a baby — and Maggie’s daughter was murdered, which makes it even worse — with out dropping the consolation of feeling their spirit with you.

Maggie felt like she was dropping her daughter another time, and that was harder for her to bear than she admitted.

Her position in catching her would-be killer was amusing.

When Danny and Baez informed him that Maggie was useless, it wasn’t clear what the purpose was, however Maggie’s silent confrontation made the purpose clear.

That perp was none too swift. He’d confessed to homicide when Maggie gave him a message from past, then tried to kill what he thought was a ghost of his newest sufferer.

If anybody ought to be off the streets completely, it is him. Let’s hope he does not get launched, due to bail reform!

Meanwhile, Eddie confirmed an indignant girl that there are nonetheless good cops on the earth.

This was a wierd story for a number of causes, not the least as a result of it did not appear related to the primary a part of the hour.

Eddie and Luis arrested some entitled brat who tried to assault a sizzling canine vendor over an additional greenback he claimed she owed him. Said brat threatened to destroy the cops’ lives. He was launched on a desk look ticket and promptly vanished into skinny air.

If Eddie mistakenly thought he was the one who messed along with her automotive, that may have been sufficient to attach his story to the vandalism incident. He might have been cleared shortly after which disappeared.

Instead, Eddie’s two tales felt like a part of two totally different episodes. The wealthy child did not have something to do with something; he was in all probability meant to be a purple herring, however since he disappeared earlier than he could possibly be accused, it did not work.

Diane assumed Luis and Eddie have been sleeping collectively regardless of Eddie’s insistence that she was fortunately married to another person. I assume that is why she messed with Eddie’s automotive; it wasn’t fully clear.

Her rationalization for why she did it was comprehensible however annoying. She’d had loads of stress and Luis ghosting her was the final straw.

Eddie noticed this as a failure to deal with a lady correctly on Luis’ half. However, if this girl was going to deal with a relationship of lower than a yr as if it have been a wedding of 25 years and get violent as a result of it did not work out, Luis was in all probability proper to chop her unfastened.

While Eddie was coping with this silliness, Jamie and Anthony have been caught following a serial shoplifter within the hopes she would cause them to the particular person behind a bunch of unlawful gun gross sales.

Jamie took his CI’s phrase for it that this girl was concerned. I do not know the way you’d corroborate one thing like this, however I’d suppose they’d need some affirmation earlier than letting her out of jail and tailing her.

It might have ended up being a large waste of sources. It almost was. Anthony and Jamie watched Sheree shoplift from one retailer after one other with out getting wherever till she randomly determined to bolt.

Despite the implausibility of this story,  Anthony and Jamie working collectively was enjoyable. Anthony will need to have saved some ire from the final time he labored with Danny as a result of Jamie definitely aggravated him!

Finally, Frank had a call to make when a less-than-honest earlier commissioner handed away.

I used to be shocked that there was a commissioner between when Henry stepped down and Frank stepped up. More shockingly, Connors had one thing to do with forcing Henry out.

There was a 3rd shock, too: Sid was the one to get by to Frank this time. Sid might be gruff and is usually overly loyal to cops who do not deserve it merely as a result of they’re cops.

But this time, he spoke Frank’s language. When he stated that it was about respecting the establishment, that was precisely what Frank wanted to listen to to resolve methods to honor ex-PC Connors’ passing regardless of the dangerous blood between him and the division.

It nearly felt like a job reversal; usually, Frank can be the one to clarify his choices to Sid utilizing that kind of metaphor.
