It looks like we won't have to wait long before Danny (Donnie Wahlberg), Baez (Marisa Ramirez) and Jackie (Jennifer Esposito) return to the case of the serial killer who was still at large at the end of Blue Bloods Season 13. Esposito returns to the CBS drama for episode 2 of its 14th and final season (premiering February 16, with the second half airing in the fall).
Danny and Baez Catch a Serial Killer | Blue Bloods (Donnie Wahlberg, Marisa Ramirez)
In "Dropping Bombs," airing February 23, Danny and Baez reunite with Danny's old partner (Jackie's now Suffolk County chief) when a serial killer resurfaces. When the three encountered Leonard Walker (Mather Zickel) in the Season 13 finale, he had been released when there wasn't enough evidence, and he escaped after attacking Jackie in her own home. (Luckily, she was okay.)
The photos CBS released for the episode offer a glimpse of Danny and Jackie getting back together, as well as Eddie's (Vanessa Ray) storyline. She faces backlash when she tries to help a woman accusing a sergeant of rape. It looks like Erin (Bridget Moynahan) and Anthony (Steve Schirripa) are part of that.
Elsewhere in the episode, Jamie (Will Estes) clashes with his cousin, Joe Hill (Will Hochman), when Joe interferes with Jamie's undercover operation. "We played around with a lot of looks and ended up with something that doesn't look like a cop at all and doesn't look like Jamie," Estes told TV Guide Magazine, adding that when it comes to the family members working on the case together, "Jamie loves Joe, but he does business differently than Jamie, and they clash."
