"Blue Bloods: 10 stories that need to be resolved in season 14"

Blue Bloods: Season 14 should tie up loose ends for a satisfying finale

Blue Bloods needs to resolve several outstanding issues before the end of its 14th season. The police drama, led by Tom Selleck, is unique for its focus on a family of three generations of police officers. Each character not only deals with one crime a week, but also faces conflicts with other family members. The series, whose trademark is a family dinner scene in every episode, has gained popularity thanks to these family-centered stories, becoming a constant program on CBS Friday nights.

Despite the popularity of Blue Bloods, the series was canceled after the 14th season. There was a huge fan-led movement to save the series and some of the stars signed on, but unless CBS changes its mind, the series will end after the second half of season 14 airs during the fall of 2024. This means that Blue Bloods needs to wrap up all of its outstanding storylines by the end of the season in order to provide a satisfying conclusion to the series. Here are ten stories that need to be resolved before the series finale.

10. Danny and Baez's relationship needs to be resolved

Danny's relationship with his current partner, Maria Baez, has divided the fandom and left the question of whether they will become more than colleagues and close friends hanging in the air. Danny has been a single father since the death of his beloved wife Linda at the beginning of Season 8, and more recent episodes have teased a potential romance between him and Baez that needs to be addressed. Whether Danny and Baez decide to date or not, Blue Bloods must resolve their relationship situation before the credits roll for the last time.

9. Jamie and Eddie start their family

Jamie and Eddie are currently the only couple. The couple are popular enough for their wedding to be considered one of the best episodes of Blue Blood, and having a child together is the next logical step. The news that Jamie and Eddie are expecting would be a great note on which to end the series. Giving them a baby would open a new chapter in the history of the Reagan family.

8. Frank retires as police commissioner

Most of Frank's stories revolve around his duties as police commissioner of the NYPD, in one way or another. Given the importance of Frank's work to Blue Bloods as a whole, the only logical ending for the series would be for him to step down.

7. Have one last chat with Jack and Nicky

Sunday dinner with the Reagans is an iconic part of Blue Bloods, but two seats have been empty for a long time. Nicky (Sami Gayle) left after the 10th season of Blue Bloods to get a job at a liberal think tank in San Francisco, leaving the more conservative Frank without his sparring partner. Jack (Tony Terraciano) also left the series to attend college at the same time.

6. Erin reconciles with Jack Sr.

Erin and Jack Boyle (Peter Hermann) have been divorced since before Blue Bloods began. In recent years, however, Blue Bloods has provoked an Erin/Jack reunion that has gone nowhere, especially during season 13 when Erin allowed her political ambitions to get in the way.

5. Baez's daughter gets a storyline

Baez's adoption of a newborn baby, whose mother was killed by a criminal, was an emotional story for her, but the baby has rarely been seen since. The end of the series should include a conclusion to the story of Baez's adoption of this baby.

4. Jamie and Eddie's future career paths become clear

Henry is retired and Frank is past retirement age, but there are two other generations of Reagans whose stories could continue beyond the finale. The series should provide some hints about everyone's future career before the final episode.

3. Henry begins a new chapter in his life

Season 14 of Blue Bloods has wasted Henry's potential so far. Henry needs more to feel fulfilled, and the Blue Bloods series finale should address that.

2. Joe Hill and Jamie reconcile

Joe Hill has made significant progress in accepting that he is half Reagan, going so far as to admit that he is grateful that they have accepted him as part of the family, despite his resistance to being one of them. He often clashes with Jamie, however, and their last interaction was unpleasant.

1. Danny's youngest son represents the next generation of Reagans

Sean grew up during his Blue Bloods career. He was a child when the series began, but now he's in college, so the only logical ending to his story involves him deciding what his next step will be. Sean and his brother Jack represent the next generation of Reagans, so if Sean decides to follow in his father's footsteps and become a cop, that would end the series with the idea that the Reagan family tradition continues.

Blue Bloods is a police drama set in New York City that follows the lives of the Irish-American Reagan family, who have a strong family history and current powerful roles in the New York Police Department. The series premiered on September 24, 2010 and has been running for 14 seasons.
