Blue Bloods, the beloved procedural drama, is set to conclude after an impressive 14 seasons. Fans have eagerly awaited the ending, and it seems like they won't be disappointed. The show plans to end on a heartwarming note with a family dinner—a tradition that has been a staple of the series.
At the center of these dinners is Frank Reagan, brilliantly portrayed by Tom Selleck, and his father Henry, played by Len Cariou.
The gatherings usually take place at their house, although there have been a few exceptions. What makes these meals special is that they bring together the entire Reagan clan, with some special guests joining in recent years.
It's easy to picture the final scene: the Reagan family sitting around the table. They begin with a heartfelt grace, and the conversation soon veers into one of their usual debates or reminiscing sessions. The camera pans out as the screen fades to black, leaving viewers with a warm and satisfying feeling.
Of course, no family dinner would be complete without some tension between Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Erin (Bridget Moynahan). And let's not forget about the Reagan "kids" who are now adults—Nicky (Sami Gayle), Jack (Tony Terraciano), and Sean (Andrew Terraciano)—all in attendance, no matter the occasion.
One poignant moment should come from Joe Hill, played by Will Hochman, as he pays tribute to his father, the late Joe Reagan. The memory of Danny's late wife, Linda (Amy Carlson), should also be honored. All of these elements encapsulate the essence of the show and make for a perfect closing scene.
Though many possibilities exist for the last shot, such as Frank in the commissioner's office or a time jump featuring Jamie (Will Estes) as the new commissioner, none hold the same emotional weight as a family dinner.
Blue Bloods has always been more than just a show about cops and lawyers—it's a show about the enduring power of family.
