What Is “Ripple Effect” About?
Danny and Lena pursue a promising lead in the attack on Detective Rodgers, with assistance from Lena’s father. Their investigation leads to an intense confrontation with a dangerous biker gang, putting the partners in a volatile situation as they seek answers.
Elsewhere, Mae faces renewed pressure from political rival Thad Longfellow. Sean and Jonah try to make amends after a misstep at work, while Baez confronts an unexpected family matter.
The official preview keeps the outcome of the standoff and the nature of Baez’s family situation under wraps. It sets up an hour in which the effects of the Rodgers investigation reach beyond Danny and Lena’s immediate case.
Marisa Ramirez, Erik King and Ryan Broussard Return
Marisa Ramirez reprises Maria Baez, continuing the connection between Boston Blue and Blue Bloods. Her return has a personal dimension this week as Baez deals with a family development that the synopsis does not disclose.
Erik King is back as Crispus “Chris” Williams, and Ryan Broussard returns as Detective Brian Rodgers. The attack on Rodgers remains a central part of the episode’s investigation.
