‘Blue Bloods’ season 6, episode 16 preview: ‘Help Me Help You’ featuring Whoopi Goldberg

Are you excited to see the next new episode of “Blue Bloods”? We’re hoping that you are, given that there is certainly quite a bit to like about what is coming in “Help Me Help You” when it comes to compelling drama. The synopsis below serves as almost every bit of evidence that you need:

“Linda asks Danny and Baez to help her co-worker who is having trouble with her angry ex-husband. Also, Erin must figure out how to handle her former mentor, a judge who has been handing down unfair sentences since the recent death of his wife; and Frank goes head-to-head with an outspoken City Council Speaker (Whoopi Goldberg) who publicly voices her disapproval of the NYPD’s ‘broken windows’ policy.”

The first bit of good news about this episode is the notion that Linda is finally going to have some more time in the sun, which has been rare for new episodes in 2016 so far. Also, we’re getting one of the most high-profile guest stars so far this season. For whatever reason this show, despite being Friday’s most-watched show for years, doesn’t get a whole lot of press, and we imagine that makes it harder to land a flurry of familiar faces.

Family, you can go into this episode feeling a little bit better about the future of Frank Reagan as commissioner of the New York Police Department. We’re not going to act as though we were ever really that worried about whether or not he would stay on at the force, but it’s still nice to have that confirmation and reassurance.
