This week’s episode of Blue Bloods had conflict going on for nearly everyone, as Frank dealt with the rivalry between Gormely and Garrett, and Danny’s case after being involved in a bank robbery leads to some decisions of his own to make.
Afer Jamie and Eddie discover an abandoned duffle bag that ends up just being a piece of art by an artist named Spanky, Garret and Gormely butt heads on how to identify him in the media. Garrett is unhappy when it appears Frank sides with Gormely, until he finally realizes that he probably should have done some more thinking on the issue.
Danny is in the bank with Linda to refinance their mortgage when there is a robbery. He is able to hear and see identifying features on the robbers and it leads him to ex-military members, one of whom is Angela Sullivan, the wife of Captain Richard Sullivan, who had been injured by an IED.
Due to the sensitive nature of the situation, Danny is conflicted on how to handle the case, but he eventually is able to work things out that help the husband while also making sure his case sticks. Here is a look at the top ten moments from “Baggage.”

Gormley and Garrett are arguing over what to call Spanly, as the former identifies him as a terrorist whereas Garrett reminds them he is a performing artist. They end up arguing so much, Frank looses his temper and reminds them that the man is only wanted on a felony act and they do not arrest due to his profession.
