Educating the Wrong Way: Higher Education ****

[edwagreen · 10/10 · 1 December 2012]

Bridget Moynahan asks for Frank's help in not allowing her daughter to go to a college party. Frank takes the daughter's side, but wait until you see what he had done when the girl returns from the party.

The major story of this episode deals with drugs on campus and the fact that students are becoming sellers with one winding up dead. When the obvious suspect proves to be innocent, wait to be jolted to see who the real culprit is. While I shall not divulge the person's name, we can say that crime in education is high up.

Jamie reconnects with a former flame who he meets while she is doing charity work. Of course, she soon becomes the victim of a crime.

The cost of higher education

[bkoganbing · 6/10 · 11 May 2017]

It's domestic stuff in this Blue Bloods episode as Sami Gayle is having conflict with Bridget Moynahan about dating a college age boy. Both keep trying to drag Tom Selleck into the quarrel.

Will Estes meets up with a former Harvard classmate Laura Breckinridge doing some community service away from her six figure Wall Street job. Later she gets involved in a mugging and questions how Jamie could leave a legal career to be a cop, Reagan genes and all.

As usual however it's Donnie Wahlberg and his partner Megan Ketch who catch an interesting homicide of a college kid who according to narcotics detective Dash Mihok is one of a lot of drug dealers on his campus. Possibly this was Law And Order's mythical Hudson University. In any event he finds a most unusual killer at the end of their search.

The episode says a lot about the cost of higher education and what we put a generation through to obtain same.

Mexican geography

[eyeman1-1 · 1 December 2012]

Undercover detective clears former informant by stating the the source of his drugs was Durango, Mexico and the drugs supplied by the alleged killer were tracked to a supplier in Guadalajara, Mexico. Subsequently, a shipment stated to be from Durango is identified and tracked to the suspected killer. Which one was it? Or is this just bad proof reading of the screenplay? The implication in the plot is clear: Drugs from Guadalajara were being sold on campus, and not from Durango. The former informant, Harlem drug kingpin and framed suspect, was supplied exclusively by a Durango drug lab. The actors writers and director are filming sequences without checking to ensure that they make any sense.
