Winter finales are likely to go massive, and East New York’s isn’t any exception!
On East New York Season 1 Episode 9, Regina takes on corruption within the NYPD when a potential whistleblower commits suicide.
She’s not going to let this one go, however how will the brass retaliate for this investigation?
Regina will seemingly come out on prime, however we’d want to attend till 2023 to learn how. East New York will want a enormous cliffhanger to maintain individuals speaking all through the lengthy hiatus; the winter finale may finish with Regina going through a listening to or different disciplinary motion!
She was capable of make a idiot out of Chief Donaldson, who was determined to model her as a chaos-causing maverick, however that does not imply he will not strive once more — particularly if he is one of many investigation’s targets!
Police suicide charges are astronomical. It’s a powerful job, particularly in at present’s anti-police local weather. But the timing of this cop’s suicide sounds suspicious. He dies shortly earlier than he was planning to go public along with his corruption claims.
That appears like a motive for homicide, and if Regina’s proper, her detectives WILL unravel it. And if the cops in query are corrupt sufficient to kill one among their very own, they’ll cease at nothing to maintain Regina from exposing the reality.
Regina’s in some of the precarious positions within the NYPD. She heads a precinct the place the crime charge is larger than it ought to be, most definitely as a result of previous division heads have pursued racist insurance policies by which residents are handled like criminals and ignored once they need assistance.
The powers that be already hate the reforms she’s made and would like to eliminate her. This case may permit them to make their subsequent transfer.
Sandeford already discouraged Bentley from pursuing a lawsuit towards white patrol officers who mistreated him as a result of “cops don’t tell on cops.” Could investigating this case trigger division inside the 7-4?
Regina may have the ability to spin it as defending a fallen brother in blue, however for the reason that sufferer was a whistleblower about to reveal police corruption, which may not fly.
Yenko may be trusted to be loyal to Regina, and Bentley and Quinlan are youthful cops who may care extra in regards to the reality than the skinny blue line.
Sandeford will not prefer it, however he isn’t in cost, so will he go together with it? And how will Morales and Killian really feel about it?
If the troublemakers reach turning the cops of the 7- 4 towards each other, that might make issues more durable for Regina. She wants a loyal crew, however does she have one?
Meanwhile, Suarez will seemingly be caught within the center. He’ll wish to clean issues over with 1PP or with the mayor’s workplace, however will Regina let him?
She made it clear that she desires him to again off and let her discuss to the brass, however she’s additionally not as politically savvy as he’s. She might have his assist, particularly if her investigation exposes any bombshells.
Even if it seems this cop did commit suicide — which is not seemingly given the circumstances surrounding his demise — he had loads of data about police corruption that’s certain to return out.
The query is whether or not any of it would hit near residence for the cops of the 7-4. While it is logical to imagine higher-ups have been concerned, it might be extra dramatic for a few of Regina’s cops — or individuals near them — to have not-quite-clean fingers.
It’s unlikely that any of the cops Regina works with are soiled cops lining their pockets by sending harmless individuals to jail, however they might have been concerned in corruption on a decrease degree. Cops that predated Regina may also have regarded the opposite approach whereas being absolutely conscious of corruption.
That would make them complicit, and if a good cop like Yenko or Suarez bought caught up in one thing like this, it might trigger a ton of battle for Regina.
If all the office drama is not sufficient for you, there’s additionally some extra stuff between Bentley and Quinlan.
When these two determined to again off from each other as a result of Sandeford noticed them kiss, it was solely a matter of time earlier than that plan fell aside.
According to spoilers, they’re once more rising nearer. That’s not a enormous shock, although it is unclear what meaning.
They’ll most likely be serving to to work this case collectively, to allow them to’t keep away from one another simply, and it will not be simple for them to disguise their emotions.
This is why they need to discuss to Sandeford as an alternative of assuming he disapproves. There is not a lot of a motive for him to be upset about this, particularly since he was on a date himself on the time!
If the difficulty is the same old “what will HR think?” one which pops up often on cop reveals, that has nothing to do with Sandeford. He looks as if the sort who has higher issues to do than inform Regina about this.
Still, it must be handled, and pretending to not be into one another is not one of the best ways for Quinlan and Bentley to go.
