As Blue Bloods approaches its emotional series finale, one haunting question lingers in the minds of fans everywhere: Who won’t make it to the end?
The long-running CBS drama has never shied away from tough choices, heartbreaking moments, and jaw-dropping twists. With Season 14 marking the end of the Reagan family’s television reign, viewers are bracing themselves for potential farewells—some of which may be more permanent than others.
So who might be in danger? Who could walk away from the force—or even lose their life—for the sake of a satisfying, powerful conclusion? Let’s look at the top contenders and the signs that could spell their exit.
👮♂️ Jamie Reagan: A Hero’s Goodbye?
Jamie (Will Estes) has been one of the most grounded, morally centered characters in the series. From beat cop to sergeant, his journey has been marked by quiet strength and resilience. But with the final season ramping up the emotional stakes, fans worry he might be the one to make the ultimate sacrifice.
Could Jamie die in the line of duty? It would be devastating—but narratively meaningful. A selfless act to save a partner, or even one of his family members, would echo the show’s core themes of duty, love, and legacy. It would also send shockwaves through the Reagan family—and the fanbase.
“If Jamie dies, I swear I’m DONE,” one fan recently posted on Reddit. Others echoed the sentiment. But that only proves how deeply viewers care—and why his potential exit would hit the hardest.
🕵️♀️ Maria Baez: The Loyal Partner
Detective Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez) has been at Danny’s side through some of his darkest moments, and their chemistry has kept fans hopeful for a romantic turn. But as the final episodes unfold, Baez may be in a vulnerable spot.
Her deepening bond with Danny could make her a target in a high-risk case—or position her for a painful departure that forces Danny to face life alone once again. After all, Blue Bloods has never guaranteed happy endings for its detectives. A shocking twist involving Baez could be just the kind of drama the writers deliver before the credits roll.
🧓 Frank Reagan: The Ultimate Sacrifice?
Let’s talk about the elephant in the room—Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck). The patriarch of the family. The Commissioner who’s held everything together for 14 seasons. Could Blue Bloods really kill off its central figure?
It seems unthinkable… but also deeply poetic. Frank’s death could serve as the final chapter in a story about service, family, and legacy. It would devastate the Reagans, sure—but it would also force them to come together, honor his memory, and carry on the values he lived by.
Alternatively, Frank could simply choose to step away—retire quietly, leaving the next generation to take the lead. But let’s be honest: a quiet exit isn’t very Blue Bloods.
Clues from the Past
The show has set precedent for emotional exits before—Linda Reagan’s tragic off-screen death, Joe Reagan’s early demise, and Joe Hill’s periodic returns all point to a world where no one is truly safe. The final season is expected to raise the stakes and close story arcs with maximum impact.
Whether it’s ashocking twist, a heroic sacrifice, or a tearful goodbye, the writers will likely ensure that someone pays a heavy price before the final curtain falls.
The Fans Are Ready (But Also Terrified)
Posts like “Please don’t touch Frank or Jamie!” and “I swear, if Baez dies I’m DONE” are flooding social media. Fan forums are buzzing with theories, predictions, and pleas to the writers. The emotional investment is real—and that’s exactly why this final season has the power to leave a lasting impression.
So… Who Will It Be?
The truth is, we don’t know who will make it out of Blue Bloods alive. But one thing is certain: the final season won’t pull any punches. It’s going to be emotional, shocking, and unforgettable.
Who do YOU think will leave Blue Bloods before the end? Who deserves a happy ending—and who’s most at risk? Drop your theories in the comments and brace yourself. The end is coming. 💔
