Speak about weird!
Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 19 featured Erin coping with a stalker, however not one which meant her any hurt. This case obtained weirder by the minute, and she or he ended up being the hero who saved her stalker’s life.
What sort of stalking story was this?
Lenny the stalker was largely innocent. He rambled on and on in regards to the value of meals in eating places, and the fragrance each Erin and his spouse wore and begged her to assist him show he obtained a uncooked deal 12 years in the past.
If Erin needed to have a stalker, Lenny was the sort she wished. He did not wish to damage her. He simply wished her to confess he was proper in regards to the earlier DA’s actions.
In the end, there was nothing she might do however apologize, so she might have saved herself a while and power and simply completed that within the first place. She may not have recognized the specifics, however she knew that the DA on the case on the time was sleazy.
Anthony: Did Bernie Lidgett seem to be a straight shooter to you?
Erin: I averted him as a lot as I might. He was a serial horndog earlier than there was a phrase for it.
Past an apology, it wasn’t clear what Lenny wished. It wasn’t like Erin might reopen his case or undo the final 12 years of his life.
Anthony and Danny’s investigation turned up subsequent to nothing, after which every little thing modified as a result of it turned out Lenny had poked out a mob child’s eye in jail.
Erin sending Lenny away to components unknown to flee the mob felt like a pat, straightforward resolution to the issue. Lenny was gone, by no means to be seen once more, and she or he did not have to fret anymore about whether or not there was any fact to his claims.
This story had a lot potential, however it fell flat.
Danny and Anthony’s investigation was all off-screen, so we did not even get any of the standard zingers these two throw at one another, which is essentially the most enjoyable a part of any Danny/Anthony story.
How disappointing!
The mob angle got here out of nowhere and did not add a lot to the story. The mob grabbed Lenny whereas Erin watched, after which hastily, he was speaking with Anthony and Erin, and so they have been sneaking him onto a aircraft.
How did he get away from the mob?
The entire thing made no sense. This felt like a pointless story that went nowhere after which ended.
Jamie’s drugged driving story was way more compelling.
Jamie is the final particular person anybody would anticipate to be driving beneath the affect of something, and it solely occurred as a result of somebody slipped one thing into the guacamole.
You’d assume that Jamie would remember he was impaired earlier than he left the celebration and referred to as a Uber then, however I suppose it took time for the THC to hit his system.
Eddie: Your dad will not let an harmless man cling.
Jamie: No. He cannot come close to this. Nobody in my household can.
Eddie: Why?
Jamie: The minute it even appears like strings are pulled, I am completed. I will by no means have the respect of my cops once more.
The entire thing ended up being a multitude that Jamie did not need Frank’s assist with due to how that might look.
Jamie’s place was comprehensible. Even after the proof proved he did his greatest to be a protected driver and that he had nothing to do with the accident, there have been in all probability some idiots mumbling to themselves that he obtained away with DUI as a result of he is a Reagan.
It wasn’t that way back that Jamie was perturbed by the thought of a bar the place cops have been despatched to sober up as an alternative of being arrested for DUI, however the public has brief recollections and possibly by no means knew about that, anyway.
Frank’s employees undermining his hands-off coverage about this was humorous till it wasn’t. Frank did not need them to do something and would not do greater than rent a lawyer to deal with Jamie’s case, and that was because it ought to have been.
Frank and Jamie have been each proper about this. Frank could not give Jamie particular therapy, and Jamie did not want it to appear like he had gotten any.
In fact, since Jamie’s automobile was parked on the opposite facet of the street when the cops discovered him, with no obvious harm, I am unsure why the cops believed he was concerned within the accident within the first place. However nonetheless, since that is what he was accused of, Frank needed to let it play out.
Henry’s story was additionally compelling.
Henry: I noticed the physician for my bodily final week.
Frank: I do know.
Henry: He referred to as this afternoon and stated he wished me to come back in.
Frank: You feeling okay?
Henry: I really feel high quality. However once they name you to come back in, it is by no means excellent news. And let’s face it, I am in all probability previous my sell-by date.
Frank had no proper to do what he did.
The physician was 100% within the mistaken, too. He should not have talked to Frank whether or not or not he deliberate on being within the room when Henry got here into the workplace, and he positively should not have stored medical information from Henry.
Henry wanted to know whether or not or not it was a slow-growing most cancers that did not want therapy. And he had a proper to that information.
Frank and the physician each ought to have recognized higher, and I used to be glad that Henry got here down onerous on Frank when he discovered the reality.
Ah, Francis, I am too previous to say it and also you’re too maintain to listen to it, however I am actually dissatisfied in you. You are an awesome fixer, however when are you going to be taught that each state of affairs cannot be fastened?
Henry
Henry was proper. Frank did not wish to cope with Henry’s well being points or Henry’s potential anxiousness about them, and that is why he requested the physician to not inform Henry the reality.
Henry was additionally proper that Frank is method an excessive amount of of a fixer and that he was solely staying out of Jamie’s state of affairs as a result of the regulation demanded it. Even then, Frank discovered a method to assist Jamie with out breaking the foundations.
Luckily, Jamie did not discuss his method again into hassle regardless of his lack of perception that you just should not look a present horse within the mouth! Typically he is an excessive amount of like his father for his personal good.
He in all probability would not have been comfortable if he had discovered what Eddie did for him. I am unsure {that a} spouse investigating her husband’s DUI is kosher, however she obtained the proof she wanted, and the arresting officer was all too glad to offer it.
Nobody introduced up Eddie’s involvement once more, so I suppose the ends justified the means on this case.
In the end, Jamie did not do something mistaken aside from not name a cab when he left the celebration as an alternative of ready till he was on the street, unable to drive correctly. He is a great cop and a great sergeant, and it could have been a disgrace if the division needed to let him go over this stupidity.
So whereas Eddie’s habits may not have been 100% acceptable, I am keen to miss it this time.
