‘Blue Bloods’ season 6 spoilers: First look at ‘The Extra Mile’

Friday, April 29 is the date for “The Extra Mile,” which will be the second-to-last foray for “Blue Bloods” in season 6. When you consider that, there is probably a part of you that expects this to be a rather enormous episode.

With that being said, it actually feels a little more like this episode could be reasonably typical for the show based on the just-released synopsis below. There’s nothing that really makes it stand out over any other one we’ve seen so far this season:

“When a key eyewitness in a murder trial flees out of fear of retaliation, Erin and Anthony spearhead their own two-person manhunt to find him and convince him to testify. Also, Garrett tries to convince Frank to attend the Police Union party, and Danny and Baez take a closer look at a suspicious convenience store robbery.”

Maybe we just feel a little less enthused about what feels like more of an ordinary episode on basic description alone thanks to the sole fact that this is coming after the return of serial killer Thomas Wilder in an upcoming episode, one that is sure to be a hugely dramatic affair and one of the most dangerous cases that we’ve seen the team work in some time. After all, on this particular episode we could end up seeing multiple members of the Reagan family in danger as Wilder starts to really have it out for Danny.

Who knows? Maybe “The Extra Mile” will find a way to still surprise us. Check back to get our take on the episode after it airs.
