10 Saddest Blue Bloods Episodes That Broke Fans’ Hearts, Ranked Blue Bloods is full of emotional episodes that had fans in tears. Blue Bloods is known for intense storylines that coincide with heartwarming family moments. The formulas Blue Bloods has created have made it one of CBS’s most successful police procedurals. As part of the intense storylines, Blue Bloods has episodes that break fans’ hearts. Fans have to watch the Reagan family go through losing the love of their lives, colleagues being killed in the line of duty, and the hardships surrounding everyday people, no matter their careers. Blue Bloods focuses on family; fans feel connected to the characters and feel as if they are going through the same feelings of loss as those on screen. 9. “With Friends Like These” (S6, E4) “With Friends Like These” highlighted the division between firefighters and police officers, but the saddest element of the episode came from Jamie and Eddie. When responding to a person in distress, Eddie and Jamie find a woman who left her home and is struggling with her mental health. The episode gave an honest look into people’s lives who can not get the help they need to care for themselves. “With Friends Like These” also discussed how being a caregiver can be overwhelming. Taking something from the real world and adding it to the episodes of Blue Bloods made the show feel more real to viewers. 8. “Little Fish” (S1, E11) Police procedurals are known for being dark, and Blue Bloods is no different. The first season showcased how guilt plays into the role of being in the version of the NYPD the show created. In “Little Fish,” Danny and Frank face similar feelings of helplessness when they can’t help victims they had been connected to previously. When remains are discovered at a construction site, Frank is plagued with the feeling of failure as the remains belong to a kidnapped child from a cold case Frank worked on early in his career. Danny tries to help a sex worker that helped him in a case before, but she is killed before he can find her. The heavy episode shows the more vulnerable sides of the Reagans that the show hadn’t explored in the first season yet. 7. “The Greater Good” (S7, E1) “The Greater Good” set the tone for season 7 as many episodes were heavy in tone and left fans reaching for tissues. Frank Reagan faced a moral and ethical dilemma that touched on his grief from losing his son Joe, who died in the line of duty. When a mother begs Frank not to let her son graduate from the NYPD Police Academy so he won’t be put in danger, Frank understands her pain. But he also understands the son’s desire to follow in his father’s footsteps, who died on the job. Seeing the usually stony Frank has to grapple with a problem he has faced personally was difficult for fans to watch. They also were touched by the mother’s love but upset that she would harm her son’s career. 6. “Love Lost” (S7, E19) “Love Lost” is another episode of Blue Bloods that brings a real-life issue into the show and makes fans change their perspective. Danny has to investigate a case that involves a woman who was suffocated by her husband. By the end of the investigation, it is revealed that the woman wanted to die and tried to have medically assisted suicide to end her pain from cancer. However, complications with the medications cause her not to die, so her husband ends her life. Viewers see the sorrow in the husband as he deals with the grief of losing his wife and being the person who ended her life, which is heart-wrenching. “Love Lost” presents many moral and ethical dilemmas but plays to the human emotions in every viewer. 5. “Unfinished Business” (S4, E13) “Unfinished Business” weaved the storyline of problematic police and their practices into Blue Bloods for the season. With Frank reopening a case that was closed, he may allow a convicted serial killer to be released. But the most moving part of the episode came from the case Danny was working on. As a veteran, Danny was significantly impacted by the suicide of a fellow veteran, but also as a father, as the veteran he was trying to help had a son. As with many of the emotional cases on the show, this one developed Danny’s character as a father and explained a good deal of his past.
