Top 10 moments from 'Blue Bloods' episode 'Shoot The Messenger'

Friday’s episode of Blue Bloods focused on storylines with Jamie, Frank, Erin, and Danny. Frank goes on air for a news interview, along with the interim district attorney, Robert McCoy, who happened to date his daughter. He is caught off guard when the D.A. says they wouldn’t prosecute anyone on marijuana charges, something that Frank is not pleased with and Erin is upset too when she sees the interview, especially since she wasn’t informed by her boss about this new agenda.

Meanwhile, Danny continues to come up against his new boss and in this episode, she does a ride along with him while Baez does some work at the precinct. While doing their rounds, they hear gun shots and come to the rescue of a baby girl, whose mother is fatally wounded. The case takes a turn when they discover that a gang member the victim had dated took a hit on her and the baby when he realized that the baby wasn’t his child.

Jamie and Eddie are doing their rounds when they come across the body of a woman, who has apparently killed herself through hanging. When the investigating detective can’t be bothered to make the notification, Jamie and Eddie do it themselves. But when they tell the family the woman is dead, her grandmother refuses to believe it and begs them to look into it further. They both agree and come across information that leads them to discover what really happened.

A lot of amazing moments occurred in this episode and we’re counting down the top ten moments from the episode “Shoot The Messenger.”
