Family is everything
bkoganbing23 March 2017
This particular Blue Bloods story finds Bridget Moynahan testing family loyalty involving one of her cases. She's trying desperately to take down South Bronx gang leader Francis Capra. Feeling frustrated she decides to leverage his straight arrow brother Max Arcienigra who is a teacher who has founded an early learning center in the South Bronx with some laundered rackets money from Capra.

This is ironic because she comes from a family where family loyalty is all. It was a task she really didn't have her heart in. But later on when Capra is murdered she and Donnie Wahlberg find a most creative way to take down the whole bunch.

In fact even Arcienigra comes out ahead due to some words Tom Selleck speaks in the right ears. You have to see the episode to know what I'm talking about.

You won't be disappointed.

Wonderful Problem of Ethics Debated Here ****
edwagreen6 November 2010
Can this show get any better? Keep this up and you'll be waltzing down the aisle when the Emmy's and Golden Globe Awards are handed out in 2011.

In this episode we meet The Webster Ave. Boys of the Bronx. They're an infamous gang who claim to own the streets. The leader of the gang has a brother who is a high school math teacher in the N.Y.C. school system. (Perhaps, he could use the gang's experience in improving school discipline.)

It seems that the bad brother has been funneling money into an academy set up by the teacher brother. Reagan's daughter wants him to testify and this causes a reaction by the family.

For the 2nd straight episode, Donnie Wahlberg is not dominant here. Sunday dinner as usual is used to clear the air once the situation has been resolved. We also see some friction between Wahlberg and the younger brother. The latter is still into investigating his dead brother's affiliation with that certain society.

Tom Selleck makes a wonderful patriarch of a very dedicated and earnest family. He proves his mettle over and over again.
