Warning: spoilers ahead for Blue Blood season 14, episode 11.A specific phrase at the Reagan family dinner during Blue Blood Season 14, Episode 11 made me even more worried about the possibility of one of my favorite characters dying before the end of the series. One of the reasons I’m disappointed in CBS’ cancellation Blue Blood despite a massive fan outcry to save it, it’s his emphasis on family. Although the series is a police procedural, it is unique because it focuses on the relationships between multiple generations of a family of police officers rather than the cases of the week, and its ending needs to preserve that legacy.
Since CBS’ announcement that it had canceled the series after season 14, widespread theories have emerged about how Blue Blood would end, with some being more painful than others. Since Blue Blood There are only a few episodes left until the series finale, he must prepare stories for conclusion now and could have done so during the Reagan family dinner with a specific line that could easily foreshadow a devastating fate for a character.
Blue Bloods Finale Could Include the Death of the Reagan Family
There is widespread speculation that someone will die in the Blue Blood end of the series. Although this has not been confirmed, there is some evidence to support it; I’m concerned that some cast members have indicated that there will be sad news during the final episodes. Abigail Hawk mentioned (via express.co.uk) that his last day of filming was in a cemetery, going on to say: “Which doesn’t mean revealing anything, but certainly presenting a little provocation.” Meanwhile, Bridget Moynahan suggested (via electronic warfare) in “a surprise that is not so hopeful.”
Although these teasers suggest a sad end, it has not been outright said that a Reagan will die. There may be another reason for the information revealed so far about the ending. I think it would be a better ending if someone related to the Reagans passed away, so they could reflect on how grateful they are for each other during the final Reagan family dinner. However, it is still possible that one of them will die and, in this case, Henry (Len Cariou) is the most likely, as he is the oldest member of the group. Blue Blood‘Reagan family.
Blue Bloods Season 14 Part 2 Reagan Family’s First Dinner, Hints at Henry’s Death
Henry Reagan’s Throwaway Line Could Be Foreshadowing
During the Reagan family dinner in Blue Blood Season 14, Episode 11, Henry had a conversation with Jack Boyle (Peter Hermann) that worried me. Over the course of dinner, he made it clear that he felt nothing but disdain for Jack, who had broken Erin (Moynahan)’s heart years earlier at the end of their tumultuous marriage. Henry’s response to Jack’s question if he could be forgiven was taken as a joke, but could easily have been a clue to your destination.
Jack: I’m wondering what the statute of limitations is in this family.
Frank: In relation to what?
Jack: How long will I be held responsible for the mistakes I made in my 20s? Or is the reaction perpetual?
Henry: Until I die.
Although everyone at the table laughed at Henry’s response, that doesn’t mean the comment was purely a joke. I have often used seemingly innocuous dialogue as subtle hints in my own work, and if Blue Blood wanted to foreshadow Henry’s death without revealing it, this exchange at the family dinner table would be the perfect place for that. The family’s laughter comes from the belief that Henry will not actually die in the near future, which would make everything even more devastating if that were his fate.
How Henry’s Death Could Impact Jamie and the Rest of the Reagans
It would be heartbreaking, but could lead to an impactful Blue Bloods finale
I hate the idea of Henry’s death, but it could lead to some strong stories, like Blue Blood ends. Henry’s death would likely hit Jamie (Will Estes) harder than the rest of the Reagans. Jamie went through the hardest times with the death of Joe Reagan in Blue Bloodand he also had a loving but sometimes controversial relationship with Henry, who dislikes it when Jamie treats him as frail or weak because of his age.. Henry is also the person he and the rest of the Reagans turn to most often for advice, so Henry’s death would leave a hole in the family.
This ending would be in keeping with the series’ commitment to family values throughout its 14-year run, although it would be heartbreaking to lose Henry.
However, Jamie and Eddie (Vanessa Ray) are considering having a child, so Henry’s death could be offset by the birth of their new child, assuming there is enough of a time jump before the series finale. This would allow Blue Blood to create a touching ending in which Jamie and Eddie name their baby Henry and promise to raise him to honor his memory. This ending would be in keeping with the series’ commitment to family values throughout its 14-year run, although it would be heartbreaking to lose Henry.
