Blue Bloods Season 14 Episode 15 Has a Big Breakthrough That Sets Up Joe Hill’s Finale

Joe Hill and Danny had a breakthrough during Blue Blood season 14 that could tease Joe’s fate in the show’s upcoming finale. Joe has had a contentious relationship with the Reagans since he was first introduced in the season 10 finale. Blue Blood explained Joe Hill’s relationship in a story that revealed he was the son of the late Joe Reagan, but his mother kept her relationship with the Reagans a secret until Joe reached adulthood. Jamie and Danny have always had a hard time accepting Joe, especially since Joe tends to ignore their instructions whenever they work on cases together.

In episode 15 of season 14, “No Good Deeds”, Joe and Danny work on a joint investigation focused on the murder of a delivery man who may be involved with a gang that traffics drugs in the city. Danny finds it difficult to work with Joe because Joe ignores his advice and puts too much pressure on reluctant witnesses to come forward. Despite this obstacle, Danny and Joe manage to find new respect for each otherdemonstrating why both men are some of the Blue Blood’ best characters.

Danny’s case shows how much Joe’s relationship with the Reagans changed

Danny was less angry with Joe than usual

While in the past Danny may have been irritated about having to work with Joe, “No Good Deeds” highlights how their relationship has matured. While working on the case together, Danny became good-natured about it. He teases Joe at the beginning of the case about calling him, saying, “So Wonder Boy needs help from his uncle Danny.” However, the two quickly get to work and Danny tries to guide Joe instead of being irritated by Joe’s behavior at work.

Although his intentions are to help resolve the case more quickly, Joe often takes independent steps that delay things and anger his uncles. In “No Good Deed”, he continually puts too much pressure on a witness, despite Danny’s advice to relax and not trigger her fear of cooperating with the police. However, Joe redeems himself at the end of the episode. After saving Danny’s life, he says that rescuing the kidnapped witness is more important than making the narcotics arrest he was hoping for. This comment demonstrates that Joe has been listening to Danny, even though he hasn’t followed his instructions.

Joe fully accepting his Reagan lineage would be the perfect Blue Bloods ending for him

This ending would resolve the conflict between Joe and the Reagans

Since his introduction, Joe has struggled to accept his Reagan status. Joe sometimes sees the Reagans as overly privileged and resents the fact that they grew up with Blue Blood‘ Joe Reagan even though he never met his father. This led to mutual resentment, as the other Reagans are sometimes uncomfortable with Joe because he is a perpetual reminder of his father’s death and his own failure to stop it from happening.

However, Joe and the Reagans have already made great strides toward mutual acceptance during Blue Blood‘ final episodes. Jamie gave Joe the car that belonged to his father, which has been Jamie’s since the beginning of the series, and now Danny has recognized Joe’s talent as a detective. Hopefully this setup leads to a happy ending for Joe in Blue Blood‘ ending, allowing him to take his rightful place at the Reagan dinner table and become part of the family.
