NOTE: this post contains spoilers for Blue Bloods season 13 episode 2, "First Blush."

In Blue Bloods season 13 episode 2, two big main storylines exist for our characters and a major crime needs to be solved. First, Frank (Tom Selleck) announces he will not endorse Erin’s (Bridget Moynahan) run for district attorney, which upsets a lot of people. Then, to keep Jamie (Will Estes) in the same precinct as Eddie (Vanessa Ray), he is promoted to a new job as a field intelligence sergeant, but he will not be able to speak to anyone about it, including his wife. Lastly, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez) investigate a bloody crime scene at a hotel, but discretion is needed.

Erin's run for district attorney is a major storyline for this season and Frank not fully backing his daughter raises a few red flags. However, audiences seemed to side with the police commissioner on this one.

“PC not supporting Erin’s opponent for DA is the PC supporting Erin. He can’t come out publicly. He has to be neutral here. Frank wants her to win. We all know that,” read one comment."

"Erin, Frank's angle is for you to win the election on your own merit. So nobody can say, 'Erin Reagan only won because her dad endorsed her,'" noted another fan.

Then there is one tweet that was the perfect summary of the character: "You gotta give it up to Frank. He's never been a fan of nepotism."

Of course, after last week’s episode, Jamie and Eddie’s relationship was definitely a focus for many. The couple seems to become even stronger with each episode this season, which is nice to see.

"I love this new Jamie and Eddie 2.0. Good way to work around the secrets," a fan commented.

Someone else tweeted: "First Blush - such a cute #Jamko story with Eddie central to Jamie's thinking at every step, & Eddie encouraging a new era for them as a couple. I'm so excited about what S13 will bring!!"

"I love how Eddie found a loophole in Jamie's new job, it will help in the big change for both of them," another viewer added.

No episode of Blue Bloods would be complete without a family dinner scene and it still manages to be everyone’s favorite scene no matter what’s going on.

"Loved the Sunday Dinner scene so much. It’s nice to hear all those stories from the Reagans," shared one audience member.

Blue Bloods airs Fridays at 10 pm ET/PT on CBS. You can watch the show on-demand on Paramount Plus.
