‘Blue Bloods’ season 7, episode 14 preview: Tense conversations galore

Friday night’s new episode of “Blue Bloods” is going to air on CBS in a matter of hours, and based on some of the sneak peeks that we’ve got for you below, it appears as though “In & Out” is going to be about as tricky a case to navigate as any that we’ve seen the Reagan family encounter.

For one, gangster Mario Hunt is at the center of everything. After a gang leader’s murder, Frank steps in to figure out if there is a way to keep the violence between rival gangs from escalating. We saw a little bit previously of Mario’s relationship with the police, and we’re not sure how willing he will be to listen. The first sneak peek that we’ve got for you below is a classic Reagan family dinner discussion on the subject, and this may take the cake as one of the most uncomfortable dinner discussions we’ve ever seen. Can’t these people talk about sports or something? It’s clear that not everyone is on the same page when it comes to how to deal with Mario.

to make matters all the more challenging, the second sneak peek makes it clear that the accused shooter at the center of the case is a former convict who is supposedly linked romantically to his parole officer. This sets off an alarm with Danny, who wants to start figuring out what is going on with this officer, who he profiles as being recently out of a relationship. This sparks tension between him and Baez, who doesn’t think that such an aggressive approach is the right way to go at all, and that a parole officer should be treated with a certain degree of respect and trust.

Whose side are you on with all of these debates? Of course, we want to hear your thoughts in the comments! This episode will be airing before you know it, and at that point we’ll be back to hand down a few more details regarding precisely what you can expect.
