Betrayal is the theme

[bkoganbing · 6/10 · 12 July 2018]

Betrayal seems to be the theme of this Blue Bloods story. A very ambitious sergeant Esai Morales has come up with a program that got Tom Selleck's attention. His training officer back in the day was Robert Clohessy, but Clohessy thinks Morales is betraying him in all kinds of ways professional and personal.

Sami Gayle is feeling betrayed too. Her friend Naland Gonzalez-Norvind is being harrassed by some right wing jock types on campus for her advocacy of liberal causes. But is she just an attention seeker?

The worst for all is Donnie Wahlberg. Rose Stern who was a battered spouse who murdered her husband has escaped from prison with a notorious drug dealer. This was a case he hated making, but he did his job. He's kept in contact with her and her son Ian Coletti. Now she's busted out of women's prison and Wahlberg is afraid of a bad ending.

I really feel for Wahlberg in this one.

***1/2

Danny really gets to show his human side in this episode. Knowing that he sent a woman to prison, who should have been exonerated via self-defense, he joins others in her pursuit when she breaks out of jail with a fellow female, the latter a much more dangerous character.

We see him at odds with the federal authorities and we also see that he has developed some sort of rapport with the woman's son. It's a little disconcerting to see that the woman has herself become hardened, but that is what prison life can do to you? Remember Eleanor Parker in "Caged?"

The side-bar story of Sid's wife's extra-marital affairs is really not interesting enough to provide a story line with.

Gormley is a Lt.

I too was surprised about the story line of Sid's and the wife, especially with a fellow cop. Nikki was asked by a "rent a cop" who she was and stated Nikki Reagan., Again, she uses her middle name when it suits her instead of her last name of Boyle. Like trying to show off, which her character does all too well.Am getting tired of her immature attitude and story lines. For someone in college, she is so immature.

Gormley was called Sgt by the commissioner when in fact by this time he is a Lt. Erin was wearing a dress to work, inappropriate for daytime as when she leaned over at her desk the cleavage was a bit much.

By this time, would think the writers would interject some past into the episodes. W e have seen pictures on the dresser of Mary and Joe so why not delve into the past and give the viewers a look into Franks wife and son, Joe? It would give the some context to the family

In one of the pat episodes where Erin is contemplating how to make some extra money for Nikki's college, Nikki came up with going to her mother's alma mater, Columbia and that she had a friend whose parents were giving her an apt and invited Nikki to move in, thus saving money for dear old mom. In this episode, it appears Nikki is living in a dorm so what happened to the "sharing an apt with her friend " to save money ??
