The following incorporates a romantical spoiler from the Jan. 20 episode of CBS’ Blue Bloods.
Well, I used to be all set to energy down the Sony Brava and hit the hay, when Blue Bloods widower Danny Reagan determined (*13*)it was time to get himself again on the market on the courting circuit — and with a really explicit somebody.
Danny’s return to courting, five-and-a-half seasons following spouse Linda’s tragic loss of life in a medevac helicopter crash, took place in a circuitous method. The episode opened with Sid clumsily assembly with Frank, to make an attraction on behalf of a detective who years in the past had been injured within the line of obligation and now wished to retire, for the reason that lingering ache from her harm makes even desk work prohibitive.
Thing is, the girl detective, Laura Acosta, had been informed she wouldn’t qualify for a full incapacity pension. Ergo Sid’s attraction to the commish. But Frank rapidly gleaned that there was truly another person in Detective Acosta’s nook — Danny.
Frank and Sid met with Acosta (performed by Orange is the New Black‘s Jessica Pimentel) to learn more about her years-ago accident, and she recounted how she and her partner were in the midst of a car chase when a multivehicle accident ended with their squad car being smacked by a truck. Her partner walked away fine, while she had a full year of recuperation from a crushed leg. Yet to this day, the pain on some days is bad, and on others it is worse. When pressed about any connection to Danny Reagan, Acosta revealed that she was covering his shift on that fateful night, as he was still reeling from Linda’s loss of life and taking good care of the boys. So, Acosta suspects, Danny at all times felt responsible about her state of affairs.
But in assembly with Danny himself over a beer, Frank got here to understand that it wasn’t a lot any lingering guilt that was driving Danny to foyer on Acosta’s behalf, however… one thing extra. Danny insisted that it wasn’t/isn’t like that, that he by no means acquired concerned with Laura (although his face recommended it may need been on his thoughts at a time?). To which Frank recommended his son: Don’t make the identical mistake that your grandfather and I did after being widowed ourselves. Open your self as much as the prospect for brand spanking new love, Frank intimated.
And the recommendation clearly labored, for we later noticed Danny meet up with Laura at a bar, to ship the information that her full incapacity pension had been accepted, and guarantee her that she is going to nonetheless get to “see him” despite the fact that she is retired. And then at Sunday dinner, the women have been fast to infer {that a} dapper Danny had plans for after, that he was “glowing.” Danny dismissed the “glowing” bit, however did admit that he had a dinner date — at some “fancy” place, apparently — with Detective Acosta.
Cue a barrage of recommendation from ladies and menfolk alike, capped by Frank urging his son to lie about how loopy his household is!
What do you concentrate on Danny courting once more, lastly?
