What did you watch?
 

The season finale of Blue Bloods. (Or at least the last episode of
Season 14 until the fall, when they will show the final 4 episodes of
the series. I'm not sure if the fall episodes will count as Season 14
or an abbreviated Season 15.)

Henry asks Frank to make some phone calls to expedite a payment from
the fund to pay cops who suffered physical disabilities as a result
of working at the cleanup of 9/11. Rather than simply making the calls,
Frank does his due dilligence and has Baker investigate; she discovers
that the cop whose family is asking for the help didn't actually work
at Ground Zero so wasn't eligible for the payment. This causes a rift
between Frank and Henry.

Eddie and Jamie, looking forward to some time off to celebrate their
5th wedding anniversary, are instead forced to work an undercover of a
shady halfway house where they uncover rampant corruption that even
involves other cops.

Danny and Sid butt heads with a veteran cop named Gus who is an old
friend of Sid's. Gus is outraged that a judge let a serial rapist get
away with his latest rape and approaches the attorneys and judge
involved to get them to explain how the rapist was let go, using the
threat of force to get them to talk. During his talk with the judge,
the judge manages to shoot him with a concealed pistol and Gus runs off
to get patched up.  Danny and Sid catch him leaviing the doctor who
patched him up and there is a standoff: Danny and Sid vs. Gus. But
everyone lowers their guns and Gus runs away.

Family dinner discussion revolves around Jamie and Eddie's anniversary.
Erin delivers the only off-colour remark I've ever heard on this show
to everyone's amusement.
