Are we positive Erin is okay?
After her automotive accident within the first minutes of Blue Bloods Season 10 Episode 16, she appeared out of it, had random offended outbursts, and had a rambly go to with Jack.
She mentioned she was re-evaluating her life after the fender bender, however was there extra to it?
My first thought was that Erin had some type of concussion that no one was conscious she had.
Her spaciness was according to a traumatic mind harm, and plenty of what she needed to say did not make sense.
Jack: One thing incorrect? You bought that weighing closely on my thoughts however I do not need to say it look.
Erin: You harm me.
Jack: What?
Erin: You harm me.
Jack: I do not know what you are speaking about.
Erin: You harm me. I have been denying it to myself.
Jack: Are you having some type of out of physique expertise?
Erin: It is the reality.
Jack had no thought what she was speaking about when she accosted him in his workplace, and it was so stream of consciousness that I used to be positive it was resulting from an issue along with her mind.
That does not appear to be the case, not less than for now, however this might come up once more in a later episode.
The opposite chance, in fact, is that she was affected by post-traumatic stress.
It was too quickly after the accident for her to have full-blown PTSD, however the way in which she minimized what occurred to her and regularly insisted she was wonderful demonstrated that one thing was occurring.
That might make her rant on the dinner desk make sense, too. Possibly she’d been bottling some stuff up for years that got here to the floor after the accident.
The query is whether or not this accident was a one-and-done sort of factor or if she’s going to proceed to have aftereffects throughout the remainder of Blue Bloods Season 10.
Hopefully, she’ll proceed to wrestle. That might be extra real looking and could possibly be a extra compelling story than the tiffs with the DA’s workplace and run-ins with Frank that Erin often will get.
Both manner, hopefully, Erin simply needs a friendship with Jack. We have gone down this highway too many instances earlier than and I’ve no need to take this journey but once more.
Elsewhere, Frank was at his strongest throughout this specific battle with Mayor Chase.
Frank: I’ve seen a drop in crime during the last decade. My polling favorables are higher than yours.
Chase: You operating for one thing?
Frank: Simply my job. And alter could be the solely fixed however not all change is equal.
Chase: That is some pedestal you place your self on.
Chase has been a thorn in Frank’s facet since his inauguration, and I used to be stunned that Frank enjoys working for him.
However I wasn’t stunned that Frank was going to face his floor as solely Frank may to attempt to get a few of the cops he wanted out on the road.
As Mayor/Frank conflicts go, this was a great one.
Chase was stunned that Frank did not battle him as soon as he gave him a small variety of cops, whereas viewers have been in all probability relieved.
Often, Frank’s fights with the mayor go on and on, to the purpose that Frank vs. the mayor is an irritating Blue Bloods trope.
However not this time. This time, Frank stunned Chase by standing his floor simply lengthy sufficient to get a few of what he needed.
A few of Frank’s exchanges with the mayor have been humorous, too.
I cherished Frank evaluating himself to the homes his pals had purchased that should not be torn down, however Mayor Chase “reality checking” the analogy and Frank’s incredulity that he took it actually was hilarious.
Mayor Chase was not ready for the pressure that’s Frank Reagan when Frank needs one thing. Frank threw all the things he may at him, together with his personal resignation.
All of us knew that Frank wasn’t going wherever, however Chase did not — and it labored. Chase backed down, outplayed by Frank, and Frank received some additional cops with out having to barter endlessly.
That is what I might name win-win.
I want Danny had half the diplomacy expertise that Frank does, although.
His storylines are sometimes the least entertaining as a result of he is all the time dropping his mood and treating suspects and witnesses in ways in which would get him kicked off the pressure in actual life.
Let me let you know one thing that you simply’re already beginning to know. Life is difficult, and each dangerous alternative you make makes it tougher. The extra dangerous selections you make, the tougher it’s, and your brother had a stack of dangerous selections.
Danny
For probably the most half, his habits after Charles tagged his automotive was no higher than ordinary. Poor Baez needed to spend a lot of the hour attempting to rein Danny in earlier than he blew the case…or a gasket.
He was impolite to the neighbor who appreciated Charles, too, and it would not have been stunning if her name to him was faux and meant to set him up due to how he handled her.
The one fascinating a part of any of this was the top. In spite of everything that, Danny ended up giving Charles life recommendation and attempting to get him again onto the appropriate path.
That is not one thing I’d have ever guessed would occur, however it was higher than Danny contemplating to blow up over his automotive getting graffitied.
Lastly, how cute was Jamie and Eddie’s storyline?
Jamko followers now have a mascot! That was a pleasant contact.
The concept of a canine that is aware of about random crimes a mile away was foolish. Possibly it was a tribute to the Lassie collection of the 1950s, however nonetheless.
Nonetheless, Jamie and Eddie’s lightheaded storyline balanced the heavier tales completely.
It was unsurprising that Eddie received hooked up to the canine and Jamie did not need it, however that is the form of home Jamko story that makes this couple value watching.
They’ve peculiar issues on prime of no matter office issues they run into. Just like the Sunday dinners, Jamie and Eddie’s home storylines make the collection really feel extra true to life and relatable.
