‘Blue Bloods’ season 6, episode 18 video: Is a podcaster hiding a killer?

Is the article title above a little bit ridiculous? Probably, but this is nonetheless still the story that “Blue Bloods” is going to be telling on a new episode airing Friday … and it’s surprisingly relevant.

Before the past few years, we really would have laughed at the notion of a podcast somehow getting involved and making it more difficult for a crime to be solved. Think of this as yet another sign of just how much the world has changed. Now, this medium is a valuable one for reporting the news and conducting long-term investigations, and a podcast interview could be keeping the location of a killer from the police.

For more on this episode (entitled “Town Without Pity”), take a look at the attached synopsis:

“Frank and Danny work together to help Nick Constantine (Michael Nouri), a rehabilitated ex-con who Frank put away years ago, when Constantine becomes involved in the murder of an old enemy. Also, as Erin prepares for a murder trial, she learns the prosecutor who previously handled the case is withholding the location of the alleged killer so she can interview him on her popular podcast.”

The promo below serves as another way to digest the synopsis, since in this case there is really not too much of a fundamental difference between the two. For the most part, the biggest thing to be aware of going into Friday’s episode is that in one way or another, there are some more struggles that await many of the characters.
