Was wondering how Sid, the smart assistant to Frank, would allow his wife and himself to rent a temporary home in such a changing neighborhood? I guess that Sidney is much more liberal than we ever thought.

The episode was a good one as it dealt with moral values, especially among ethical people who sometimes feel that even when something is wrong, they can't speak up for a variety of reasons.

Even Danny's kids were afraid to speak up regarding a school fight for fear of reprisal. Then we had a former gang member, paralyzed by a bullet from the leader of the gang, who feigns not to be talking up until he takes matters into his own hands. We also had the Russian, responsible for Sid's beating, acting as if he could do anything he wanted. The episode really put a bad light on the Russian people living in New York City.

The incident where Jaime and Eddie knew that the cab driver had done nothing wrong, but they had to keep quiet due to federal involvement, which could have led to the driver's deportation was sad. How the feds didn't finally act needed to be explained far better.

Vigilante justice

Michael DeLorenzo who was in such TV series as Fame and Head Of The Class playing way below his age for many years, gets a mature role in this Blue Bloods episode. In this story he plays a former gangbanger who isn't that active any more due to getting shot. DeLorenzo is now in a wheelchair and he lives in the same project his old running buddies now terrorize.

Older and wiser albeit the hard way despite Donnie Wahlberg's pleas to him, DeLorenzo does not want to be a witness against his old buddies. And witnesses because of fear and intimidation are just not to be had. In the end DeLorenzo goes vigilante

Robert Clohessy is beaten in front of his wife in their neighborhood which also happens to be DA investigator Steven Schirippa's old stamping grounds. A little extralegal vigilante tactics serve well in this situation too.

DeLorenzo truly sacrifices in this story.
