Alright, let’s talk about this “Blue Bloods” show, the one they call “Where the Truth Lies.” You know, the one with all them cops and their family business. I watched it, kinda confusing sometimes, but I think I got the gist of it.
So, this episode, it’s a real mess, like when my chickens get loose in the yard. First off, there’s this Frank, the big boss man, the police commissioner. He’s got a whole heap of trouble on his plate. See, some fella, a cop, he up and kills himself. And his missus, she’s mad as a hornet. She’s blaming Frank, saying it’s all his fault her husband’s gone and done himself in. Can you believe that? Blaming the boss man for something like that.
Then, you got Eddie, she’s a cop too, a young gal. She’s got a feeling about a murder, you know, a woman’s intuition, they call it. I got them feelings sometimes too, like when I know the cow’s gonna kick before she even lifts her leg. Eddie, she’s smart, she knows something ain’t right, and she’s gonna figure it out, just like I figure out which hen’s been stealing the eggs.
But wait, there’s more. This ain’t just about one thing, it’s like a tangled-up fishing line. They got this other story going on, about some fellas who were in jail, wrongly accused, they say. And then, bam, bam, bam, people start getting killed. Drive-by shootings, they call it. Sounds like something out of them wild west movies my grandson watches. It’s all connected, you see, like how the creek connects to the river and the river to the sea.
- Frank’s got the widow yelling at him.
- Eddie’s got her murder mystery.
- And there’s these drive-by killings.
It’s a lot to keep track of, I tell ya. More complicated than trying to fix a tractor with a rusty wrench and no instructions. But that’s what makes it interesting, I guess. Like watching a soap opera, but with more guns and less crying…well, sometimes there’s crying too, especially when someone gets shot.
Then there’s this other part, about a cartel. You know, them bad guys from down south. They kidnap one of the boys, I don’t rightly remember who, and the FBI, they get involved. And the FBI fella, he wants the cops to lie. Lie! Can you believe that? Cops supposed to be telling the truth, but this fella wants them to lie to make some other bad guy talk. It’s a dirty business, this police work, dirtier than my pigpen after a rainstorm.
This whole episode is about finding the truth, but everyone’s got their own version of it, their own secrets. Frank’s gotta deal with that angry widow. Eddie’s gotta follow her gut. And they all gotta figure out who’s behind these shootings and what to do about that cartel mess. It’s like trying to find a needle in a haystack, only the haystack’s on fire and everyone’s shooting at each other.
And you know, at the end of the day, they kinda sort it all out, like how I sort the good potatoes from the rotten ones. They catch the bad guys, or some of them anyway. And Frank, he deals with the widow, maybe not perfectly, but he tries. And Eddie, she probably solves her murder. They always do, on these shows. It’s comforting in a way, like knowing the sun’s gonna rise in the morning, even if it’s cloudy.
So, that’s “Blue Bloods: Where the Truth Lies,” as best as I can tell ya. It’s about cops, family, lies, and trying to do the right thing in a world that’s gone plumb crazy. It ain’t always easy to follow, but it keeps you guessing, and that’s more than I can say for most things these days. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I gotta go feed them chickens before they start squawking again.
