Good old Jimmy Quinn's

[bkoganbing · 7/10 · 19 July 2019]

In this episode Donnie Wahlberg actually witnesses the last minute or so of a victim's life as a young girl mumbling in Gaelic gets struck down by a car. But in fact she had been given a hotshot overdose of heroin with some new designer drug for the flavor.

The investigation takes Wahlberg to a favorite eating establishment of the Irish American's called Jimmy Quinn's. Several generations of Reagans have gone there to drink and dine. The victim worked there.

Tom Selleck has to deal with an overzealous boy scout of a new officer who keeps getting transferred. His latest captain is Robert Wuhl who isn't thrilled with him either. I can't imagine working with such a Dudley Doo right myself. Still young Jefferson White does raise concerns and some fears he might be a snitch.

Good episode here.

Whistle blowing has always been an area of contention among organizations and the police department is no exception.

The ending here was too sugary. The two guys being made to walk out together and ride back to the station together. Both had good points and it appeared that Frank was in a dilemma so the best thing to do was to calm the situation down and restore some harmony.

The sub-story was interesting where a drugged up girl gets hit by a car and is killed as Danny witnesses the entire event. Imagine, she worked for a place where fraternizing was against the policy, but you can just imagine how that ruling was ignored.

The heartbreak side-story was Erin's sympathetic attitude towards the woman she had to prosecute for pornography and the defendant claiming that surgery for epilepsy caused her in the way to act as she did. The judge's surprise strong verdict was a heartbreak, but there were times when she was lucid and should have realized what she was doing.
