Blue Bloods: Difference between revisions

They have different personalities. Grandpa Henry is a hardbitten [[Da Chief|chief]] from the old days. Frank is an incorruptible patriarch and responsible leader, who knows how to keep peace between his children and how to encourage them without giving undue favoritism. Danny is a ruthless but competent cop who always catches the bad guys. Erin is a stickler for points of law but she can also manipulate the law to her advantage when seeking a conviction. And Jamie is an idealist who feels a call to serve and protect. They are all loyal to each other and they all serve the cause of keeping order in the city of New York.

{{quote|'''Perp:''' I give up.

'''Danny''': Too late. [punches his lights out] }}

* [[You Are Not Alone]]: Frank reminds Danny of this at the end of "Silver Star", when Danny muses on how he could have ended up just like the victim, a homeless vet.

* [[You Should Have Died Instead]]: The wife of a slain informant discovers that Erin was the one pulling his strings. "So because ''you'' suck at your job, ''I'm'' a widow and my kids don't have a father." {{spoiler|Of course, this is rendered moot when it turns out the wife was cheating on her man with someone he was investigating, who was the ''actual'' killer, and that it was ''the wife'' who blew his cover, if unintentionally, not Erin.}}

{{quote|{{spoiler|Mrs. Milo}}: [to Erin] I don't know what fancy place you come from, but from where I come from, there is ''nothing'' worse than a [[The Informant|rat]]!}}
