Read on to find out how blue blood came to an end.

Revisiting the past

When Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) and Marisa Baez (Marisa Ramirez) begin an investigation into the shooting of Supreme Court Justice Barbara Carson, they quickly realize that the culprit may be someone from their past.

After discovering a hostage video featuring Barbara, the detectives saw a reflection of the shooter when they zoomed in on the sunglasses. They identified the shooter as Carlos Ramírez (Manny Perez), who fans may recall was previously apprehended after he tried to flee with his daughter Amelia during an intense standoff at a helipad earlier in the season.

Realizing that Amelia might be in danger at the hands of her father, the investigators tried to track her down and were nearly shot in the process. After shooting their would-be assassin, Danny intercepted a call from Ramírez. When the thug threatened him, Danny reminded him, “You did it all by yourself. You’re putting your daughter in danger right now.”

But Ramírez wasn’t going down without another dig at him. “You’re putting her in danger just like you did your wife,” he said, referring to his late wife Linda Rose Reagan, who died in a helicopter crash, before adding: “You pretend to be a family man, but you do whatever what a win. Not this time.”

The exchange made Danny more determined to bring Ramírez to justice. With the help of Detective Anthony Abetemarco (Steve Schirripa), they found out where the criminal was staying with his daughter. Faced with arrest, Ramírez pointed his gun at himself before Danny talked him out of it for the sake of his daughter.

After the arrest, Danny’s grandfather Henry Reagan (Len Cariou) reminded him of all the people he saved by going after criminals and how he always told him “not to bring the job home.” But his grandfather added, “But the problem now is that you have no one to bring it home to…Promise me, when this case is over, you will find someone.”

Danny later followed his grandfather’s advice and asked his partner Marisa out for pizza.

One of their own dead

The second shooting in the episode claimed the life of Officer Luis Badillo (Ian Quinlan), who was gunned down by a motorcyclist while responding to a car chase with his partner Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray).

When Eddie was recovering in the hospital after being grazed by a bullet, she worried that one of her bullets accidentally hit her partner in the standoff. Her husband Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) was visited in the hospital by his nephew Joe Hill (Will Hochman), who had intelligence about one of the shooters, Amelio Mars.

When Jamie seemed hesitant to join him in finding the culprit, his nephew reminded him that it’s “all hands on deck out there” and his help was needed. With that, they ran to Amelio’s apartment, only to find his pregnant girlfriend claiming to know nothing of his whereabouts.

When they later followed up and discovered that his girlfriend had gone into labor, they realized that even a criminal would not miss the birth of their child. They found Amelio making silly faces at his newborn at the nursery window. Then Eddie stepped in to arrest him using his late partner’s handcuffs.

At Badillo’s funeral, the commissioner reminded Badillo’s mother, “Take a good look around. Luis’s whole family is here with you today” before Eddie handed his police hat to his son.

Keys to the city

After the mayor was injured in a drive-by shooting by a biker, Frank Reagan visited him in the operating room before his surgery. In a surprise move, the mayor advised him to go against the grain of succession and take control, saying: “I give you the keys, you drive. Get us out of this.”

After considering the mayor’s opinion, Frank realized he needed to continue doing his job with a “personal touch,” and asked his colleagues to look into the shooter’s connection — possibly a brother or uncle — in the prison system that they could “lean on”. to find out where this guy can go.”

He added: “I want to be there when we bring this guy in.”

After identifying the mayor’s shooter as Alandro Bautista, DA Bureau Chief Erin Reagan (Bridget Moynahan) asked ex-husband Jack Boyle (Peter Hermann) to stick his neck out for her information on the suspect’s jailhouse informant. Despite his hesitation, Jack said he would do it for her.

With Jack’s help, Frank connected with Alandro Bautista’s father Lorenzo Bautista (Edward James Olmos) behind bars and asked where they could find his son. But Lorenzo was upset that Frank wanted him to “rat” his son, telling him: “When you look in the mirror, you see yourself with a white hat. You think you’re the good guy. ”

The commissioner then played hardball and threatened Lorenzo’s role as an informant, returning him to the prison’s general population with no special privileges unless he gave them his son’s whereabouts before recalling the story of his late son Joe.

“I had a son who was actually killed by the police, and he was about your son Alejandro’s age, and if someone were to say to me before it happened, ‘Here’s your choice. We can kill him now or he can spend the rest of his life in prison,” he said. “I tell you what, I wouldn’t blink.”

He continued: “I’d be up there in that prison every chance I got with a bag of hamburgers for us and a deck of cards so we could spend time together just shooting gin and shooting the bull and I’m thrilled to be there and forever grateful for the chance, because I know the cold darkness that the second choice brings.”

After the conversation, Lorenzo had clearly changed his stance on protecting his son’s location, as the commissioner later informed the mayor that Alandro was arrested in a furniture store.

Meanwhile, on the personal front, Jack asked Erin if her father Frank would now forget “his grudge” against him after their split. But she said her father never held a grudge — instead, “he became cold to hide his wounds.”

Erin then reminded Jack that they “work well together” despite their failed marriage, adding, “Despite our best efforts, we’re still right here, one foot in, one foot out. Maybe we’ll try both feet ( in)?”

“Get married again?” he replied and she added, “Everyone deserves a second chance, right? Maybe we give each other a break? I mean, everything would be different this time. Part of 2, City Hall? Tell everyone about it afterwards.” Then he pulled her in for a kiss.

How it ends

At a family dinner after the funeral, Eddie and Jamie surprise everyone by bringing a high chair to the table and announcing that they are expecting a baby. However, they had no plans to find out the gender in advance.

“Whether it’s a male or a female, if I may, they’re going to be really lucky to be a part of this family,” Joe said amid the celebration.

Erin and Jack refrained from sharing the news of their reunion at the dinner table, instead discussing the charge against Badillo’s killer.

The episode ended with Frank saying, “You know, we have a lot to be thankful for. And looking around his table, I have to say I couldn’t be more proud or thankful,” before leading the family in prayer .
