‘Blue Bloods’ season 5, episode 13 video: Danny, Frank, and further complications

Oh, police politics. If you watch “Blue Bloods” on CBS, then this may be something that you find yourself saying time and time again. Specifically, Friday night’s upcoming episode is going to feature some of the most complicated sort of politics, largely because Frank has to figure out whether or not his son can be awarded a prestigious medal, without it looking at the same time like he was ordained in some way to get it because of him being his son.

In reality, it doesn’t appear that there is any nepotism here, and if Danny does not end up getting it, could be because a fear of criticism keeps him from it. The upcoming title for this episode is “Love Stories,” and just in case you have not heard much about this episode already, be sure to take a look at the synopsis below:

“Danny and Baez investigate when a homeowner shoots an intruder, only to find out that the intruder is a hitman. Also, a young attorney attempts to bring justice to his mother who Erin put away on a murder charge 12 years ago.”

One thing that we are definitely grateful for at the moment is the decision by CBS to actually give you different flavors for this episode depending on where you look. That synopsis doesn’t touch on the aforementioned Danny-gets-a-medal story at all, but it is a focus of the promo below. We appreciate that, since it gives us more to talk about.

Granted, we’re going to have plenty to discuss all week. After all, many new episodes lie in the future!
