S14.E13: Bad To Worse

[DanaK]

Quote

Frank intervenes when tensions rise between Mayor Chase (Dylan Walsh) and the fire commissioner of New York City (Mira Sorvino). Also, Erin is blindsided when Henry agrees to testify for the defense in a case she is prosecuting; Danny and Baez investigate when human remains are discovered in a storage unit; and Eddie and her partner Badillo navigate a complicated arrest when their criminal offender is scheduled to donate his kidney, on BLUE BLOODS, Friday, Nov. 1 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+

Not only Erin was blindsided but the defense and the defendant were worse than blindsided. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm thinking that under the strictest definition of "perjury" that Henry did in fact commit perjury.  He was testifying as an expert  for the defense and went totally against what they were expecting.  Jump in anyone with your thoughts on this.

Why are they giving us more Eddie than Jamie in S14 part B? They have given Jamie a very insignificant case last week and this week we only see him at the awkward dinner. UGH! 😏

He didn’t lie on the stand, so no perjury. I’d say the defense didn’t do their due diligence and just assumed (always dangerous) that Henry would bolster their case. It sounds like the defendant told his lawyer to call Henry because choke holds were legal and encouraged back then, but no one actually asked Henry what he thought about the defendant.  I’l admit I was concerned until Henry said ‘our paths crossed.’ St that point I knew he was going to blow the car for the ex-cop.

I actually liked Frank’s story, or at least the resolution. 

Badillo is a hard ass but Eddie is ridiculous sometimes. lights and sirens to Ray’s house because Nico was gone? I get the concern and even appreciate it, but isn’t that an abuse of power or something?

The writers have essentially decided to write whatever crap is easiest.

The only reason I continue to watch is because it is somehow soporific.

The Henry storyline was ridiculous. Any defense lawyer (or prosecutor or plaintiff's attorney) has prepared every witness by asking them the questions they would be asked on the stand. They don't have someone go on blind.

Why would Erin - who is theoretically a top DA be prosecuting a petty misdemeanor especially when it involves the police department. It would never be assigned.

The kidney story was ridiculous. Starting with the premise that someone arrested for that kind of petty crime in New York would have been out on own recognizance in term for the operation. 

Another boring story about how the Commissioners have to take a "bold" stance against a mayor who has to balance competing issues among the population. I am reasonably certain advance teams would have arranged the services so they weren't competing against each other.

Eddie and partner are scouring the city for Nico …. then take Sunday off while Eddie goes to family dinner? then go back to searching?  Ray didn't call them continuously while they were off duty?

I'm thinking "Henry" doesn't look well.  Is it just me?

One service was for the immigrant who was killed. The PC/Fire Commissioner has nothing to do with that service. And I can’t imagine the FDNY is going to tell a grieving widow to hold off on her husband’s funeral so the mayor can  attend. I mean how would that even work? ‘Hi we’re really sorry for your loss but the mayor wants to attend the funeral for a migrant that died in the fire that killed your husband. Would you mind rescheduling your husband’s funeral?’
