Welcome to February. It's time for COP FRIDAYS, a little holiday this month I will celebrate every Friday night, saluting my favorite cop shows. This week's entry is about CBS's family police drama, Blue Bloods. The next paragraph highlights a powerful episode from January. "I don't want to get you jammed up," said Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) to his partner Edit Marie 'Eddie' Janko (Vanessa Ray). The two had a conversation after witnessing another male/female set of partners fighting in the street. One half of the other couple requested a transfer after the female partner was held at knife point by a suspect. Their parting words to Jamie and Eddie were that the whole precinct believes they are sleeping together. Eddie fluffed her blonde hair and suggested to Jamie that they should just got for it, pulling a Bonnie Raitt and giving them something to talk about. Jamie, whose father is the city police commissioner, shook his head and said it should never happen. But I have to ask why? Even CBS thinks this couple should be together. Jamie: "We're paying for something we didn't get any benefits of..." Eddie: "If you tap this (points to her bum), there's going back."
There is a real reason I watch Blue Bloods. There are tons of procedural shows and cop dramas out there, but Blue Bloods is different. It's a family drama and the family just happens to be filled with cops and lawyers with a strong (read too strong) sense of ethics. At first, season 1 brought us a murder mystery. We had to explore the conspiracy in the police department that led to Jamie's brother Joe's death. The action on the murder cases can move fast, but this couple has been slow burning for years and that's what makes me come back (aside from Donny Wahlberg's Danny kicking ass and taking names). Jamie and Eddie have been buddies since season four, trading bad date stories and grabbing beers after patrol. They were partnered at the beginning of that season after Jamie's partner Vinny was killed in the line of duty. The couple kissed late in season four, but it's taken three years for them to pick up some steam as most of their talks have ended with a hug, like when Jamie comforted Eddie after her inconsequential boyfriend took a swing at her. A few months ago, they kissed after a double date and said they "had feelings," but chalked up the kiss to too much alcohol. (Read more from EW.com about the kiss.) Eddie came with Jamie to a wedding and Jamie punched a guy who was hitting on Eddie or making lewd comments. Then they slow danced. In last week's episode, Eddie reveals a deep secret to Jamie. She shares that she is a Philadelphia Flyers fan. Jamie, who comes from generations of Rangers fans (as well as cops), is disgusted but forgives Eddie. This is surely not normal behavior for people that are "just friends." I also have to reflect on a pivotal episode from 3 weeks ago. Eddie complains to Jamie about her new boyfriend ghosting after she shot a would be robber on a date. It's a typical complaint, right? Eddie laments that she isn't comfortable being a damsel and she's frustrated she hasn't found a guy who appreciates her four her tough exterior. But there may be someone who sees her tender side, and is not threatened by her pulling out a gun and doing her job, even off-duty. It's JAMIE!! It's HIM!! He basically says as much while comforting Jamie. Eddie says they can't be each other's consolation prize. WHY??? It can't be because they're partners. Danny and his many female partners have always had an appropriate work/personal life balance in the detective squad. Whether it was party girl Jackie (Jennifer Esposito: 2+years), Kate (Megan Ketch: a few episodes), Mac (Megan Boone: a few episodes) and his current partner Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez: since 2013). It's time to man up Jamie Reagan, take a chance with Eddie! I would ship that!

With so many murders, and a truly horrifying deal being considered, there were some very serious storylines on Blue Bloods Season 7 Episode 14.
But first we need to address something far more fun… The awesomeness of Jamie and Eddie in this Blue Bloods quote…
I can only hope that the rest of the viewing audience got even half the enjoyment that I did out of their argument over a rival hockey team. Because if you are a New York Rangers fan, as the Reagans have stated they are, then you really do look upon Philadelphia Flyers fans with unhidden disdain. It didn’t surprise me at all that Eddie would hide that she’s a Flyers fan from Jamie for three years. His reaction was spot on and it made me laugh. That scene was yet another small moment that reminded me why I love that this show is actually filmed in New York City. Oh, and did anyone else notice that Eddie picked the sliced tomatoes off of her plate at lunch and put them on Jamie’s while in mid-conversation. They may not be romantically involved, yet, but they certainly have many of the idiosyncrasies of a long-term couple.
15 TV Grandparents We Wish Had Been Ours! Now, on to the far less fun but certainly more dramatic parts of this episode. There were few things about Danny and Baez’s investigation into the murder of rival gang leaders that were unexpected… Except for the parole officer sleeping with the gang’s hired killer! Now that was a twist I didn’t see coming. I was a little startled by how much Baez pushed back on Danny investigating Ramirez. Yes, Ramirez had a clean record for the 13 years she was on the job but if an eye witness actually saw Ronald Lloyd do the shooting, and Ramirez claimed he was at their meeting, there was a problem somewhere. As Ramirez later pointed out herself, they could have easily checked out the video surveillance to see if Lloyd had actually arrived for that meeting, although taking photos of her kissing her parolee was far more damaging. The moment Ramirez stepped into Lloyd’s apartment I knew she was dead. Blue Bloods needs to stop killing off the people who try to get confessions recorded for the police… I’m thinking of Ernie “Goodnight” Mason who was killed just a couple of episodes ago. Danny really needs to do a better job of protecting his informants! Finally we get to Frank…
I couldn’t believe that Frank was really considering letting Mario Hunt out of prison, for any reason! This was the man who actually pulled the trigger on Chief Kent and his wife, and then made a deal and turned over the gang leader who ordered the hit in order to get a light sentence. Did anyone believe that Hunt would keep his word? Maybe he’d stop the killings today but what about next month and the month after that. He wasn’t going to suddenly become a good guy just because he was let out of jail early. I kept thinking that if Frank could pull strings to get him released, why not pull those same strings to get this guy sent to some super max facility where he could no longer contact his fellow gang members. But Frank Reagan took that idea one step further.
He threatened to send Hunt to a prison in Atlanta that is overrun by members of the rival gang. Is a cop supposed to, effectively, send a convict off to be murdered by rival gang members? No. But he’s also not supposed to let convicted killers walk free because they threaten more lives. In the end, I was okay with how this one worked out. Check back next week for my review of Blue Bloods Season 7 Epsiode 15… And if you need more of the Reagan family, you can watch Blue Bloods online here at TV Fanatic.
