A Reagan tradition
bkoganbing18 August 2017
On a drug stakeout Donnie Wahlberg and Marisa Ramirez witness the bodyguard of their intended target suddenly go nuts and start shooting any and all. Dana Ashbrook is clearly a man who get his jollies using guns. Somebody that has to get taken off or down, but Amy Carlson won't let her husband interview a wounded man at the hospital. It's a bone of contention.

Bridget Moynahan has a crisis of conscience when she brings to her new boss's contention a prosecutorial error that the boss made on an old case. It impacts on the sentencing of a perpetrator in a new case. And it's really sticky since she's now a bureau chief on the boss's recommendation.

Young Andrew Terraciano feels a bit of family pressure to win the soap box derby in Bay Ridge as some Reagan or other has won it every time they entered. It's a Reagan tradition.

A bit of lightheartedness in the end in a usually dramatic series.

Trudy Platt, here we come!
akicork25 August 2023
I really wish IMDb didn't impose a six hundred character minimum on reviews. They weren't used to, and it makes it really difficult to make pithy comments about an episode or performance, however well deserved. In this episode, for me the standout performance came from Amy Morton. We see her here exerting her authority as Erin's boss, before transferring to Dick Wolf's Chicago franchise. Her stellar continuing performance there as Trudy Platt surely marks her as one of the world's great actors - she truly commands her station, as one of the characters in that series says, and holds that character fast.
