‘Blue Bloods’ Adds Another Cop To The Dinner Table In Tonight’s Season Finale Of NYPD Family Drama
Blue Bloods’ Reagan clan added a new seat at the dinner table tonight, at least for the time being.
And guess what – the newly discovered Joe Hill (Will Hochman) is a detective in the NYPD Firearms Investigation Unit. “A real-life guy, just walking around out there!” as grandson Sean Reagan (Andrew Terraciano) exclaims to Tom Selleck’s Commissioner Frank Reagan when he unveils the results of a school-project DNA test in the emotionally powerful de facto Season 10 finale.
“What’s he like?’ thunders Selleck’s top-cop character to questions from his family after revealing to them that his deceased second-oldest son Joe “fathered a son he never knew about”
“I just met the guy, and he’s my grandson,” Selleck’s patriarch states of the twentysomething portrayed by the Critical Thinking alum and Broadway actor. “I will say this, he carries himself in a certain way. … Being a cop was like playing for the Bulls with Jordan or the drums with Springsteen, it was just familiar,” the clearly proud grandpa adds to a shocked Bridget Moynihan, Donnie Wahlberg, Will Estes, Vanessa Ray, Len Cariou and Terraciano,
Despite a threat from his worried mother (Bonne Sommerville) that Joe will have nothing to do with the Reagans, the closing minutes of the Siobhan Byrne O’Connor-penned “Family Secrets,” saw Det. Hill brought to dinner by his cousin.
“I got to ask, how did you get out of becoming a cop?” Hochman’s nervous character asks his newly discovered Aunt Erin (Moynihan). “Oh, I’m the smart one,” perfectly replies the NY County Assistant District Attorney as hug, greetings and a prayer followed with the new addition.
