Frank’s determination to not endorse anybody within the Manhattan DA’s workplace induced numerous drama.
People stored displaying up in his workplace, a few of them irate on Erin’s behalf, however he refused to budge.
Blue Bloods Season 13 Episode 2 had a contented ending to a completely ridiculous battle.
Frank’s coverage has all the time been to deal with Danny and Jamie the identical means he would non-related cops, so why ought to anybody be shocked that he did not wish to deal with Erin in another way than another candidate?
It wasn’t as if he had endorsed her opponent. He declined to make any endorsement within the race in any respect.
Erin hasn’t formally introduced her bid, so it could be ridiculous for him to endorse her. And past that, she is not owed an endorsement by anyone, not even her father.
Garett: Are we going to provide the events concerned a heads up?
Frank: Would we usually give them a heads up?
Garett: No, however this is not regular.
Frank: It must be.
Garett: Wishing will not make it so.
Frank: But actions will.
There have been good causes for Frank to chorus from endorsing anybody on this race.
If he endorsed Erin, the pundits would have a area day over it; many may speculate that he solely supported her due to their familial relationship. That could not be good for her marketing campaign!
And if he endorsed another person, it could harm Erin’s emotions and provides that particular person an outsized benefit as a result of commentators and voters may assume that the candidate should be extraordinary for Frank to select them over his daughter.
No matter who Frank endorsed, it could harm Erin’s possibilities, so it was higher for him to remain out of it.
Erin thought that Frank’s non-endorsement was a tacit acknowledgment that she deliberate to come back after him arduous as a part of her marketing campaign.
That self-centered evaluation does not take into account the political ramifications of any endorsement Frank may make, but when it permits Erin to forgive him, it is acceptable.
But what on Earth had gotten into Henry? He was as soon as Police Commissioner and will have understood the explanations behind Frank’s determination.
Instead, Henry confirmed up weapons blazing, demanding that Frank endorse Erin as a result of her emotions have been harm.
Frank: I might have been in a gathering.
Henry: To hell along with your assembly.
Frank: This is about Erin, is not it?
Henry: She got here to me in confidence and requested me to not let you know. So you break my phrase and I break your nostril. And I’m the one one who’ll nonetheless do it.
If Erin had an issue with Frank, she ought to have taken it up with him herself earlier than or after Sunday dinner. That’s the way in which conflicts are resolved within the Reagan household.
What she mustn’t have finished is what she did: get her grandfather to struggle her battles for her.
Also, Erin is meant to be an grownup. Understandably, she might need harm emotions over Frank not publicly endorsing her. But her emotions should not be his solely consideration, and he or she ought to have the ability to cope with her disappointment and transfer ahead along with her marketing campaign anyway.
Danny and Baez had considered one of their weirder instances.
There was no physique, no proof of a homicide, and no solution to determine who was in that room till Dr. Knight got here ahead.
Knight claimed somebody slashed him and had a wound to show it. He wasn’t urgent costs, so there was no crime dedicated. Why did Danny and Baez must preserve investigating?
It did not appear important for the cops to seek out the escort and ensure his story. Did Danny suppose he harm her after which slashed himself to make it appear to be he was the sufferer?
Danny disliked Knight, however that was no motive to look so intently at this case. He and Baez did anyway and found that Knight’s daughter slashed him as a result of she was offended that he had intercourse along with her good friend.
They hadn’t interacted along with her earlier than her confession; Danny put the case collectively by pressuring the lady the escort labored for. How disappointing!
Jamie’s new job will result in compelling conflicts. His boss’ emphasis on not understanding who could be compromised makes me suppose that Jamie may study info that he feels is flawed to maintain from Eddie sooner or later.
Eddie herself will not be compromised, however what if she’s assigned a companion who’s or a witness she’s monitoring down is concerned in some covert dangerous stuff? What will Jamie do then?
I’m shocked he did not know what he was stepping into till his first assembly along with his new CO. He needed to know that he was engaged on top-secret instances earlier than accepting the job!
Jamie agonized over whether or not or to not stay with the intelligence unit as a result of he was afraid the secrecy would break his marriage. He and Eddie ultimately labored that out, however they need to have mentioned it extra completely earlier than Jamie thought-about quitting his new job.
Jamie’s dialog with Henry was one of many highlights of the hour.
Jamie: I can not speak to Eddie about my job and I can not even speak to you in regards to the issues I can not speak to her about.
Henry: I’ve stored my share of secrets and techniques in my time.
Jamie: How did you deal with it at dwelling?
Henry: I roamed with the dinosaurs. My spouse would by no means ask me what occurred on the beat.
I like the particular relationship Jamie has with Henry. Henry’s recommendation was nice; Jamie had to determine what he needed and tips on how to cope with the secrecy of this job.
Surprisingly, McNichols’ recommendation to Eddie was additionally first rate. Eddie wants to seek out one thing to do aside from always trouble her about her determination to not let Jamie and Eddie work collectively.
Unfortunately, there wasn’t time within the hour for Jamie to work any intelligence instances, however hopefully, that’ll come.
