Blue Bloods Season 14 Ending: How Henry Could Be The Key Despite Being Wasted For The Past 5 Episodes
Henry has barely been on-screen during Blue Bloods season 14. This character could play a central role in the final episode of the series.
SUMMARY
– Blue Bloods season 14 may end with Henry playing a key role in helping Frank make a life-changing decision to step down as Police Commissioner.
– Henry’s guidance could also help Jamie move towards becoming the next commissioner and bring a new chapter to the Reagan family.
– Despite fan efforts to save the show, the series is likely to conclude with season 14, ending an era with an emotional focus on family patriarch Henry.
Henry Reagan has not been featured heavily during Blue Bloods season 14, but he may have an important role in the series finale. The Tom Selleck-led drama is popular because of its unique blend of cop and family stories. The series features a close-knit family of cops, and the Blue Bloods family dinner is featured in every episode. The family has evolved over the years, but Henry has always sat at the head of the table even if he doesn’t have any other scenes during the episode.
Blue Bloods season 14 is the final year for this drama despite its popularity. Although some of the stars have joined efforts to save the series, it is not likely that CBS will change its mind, so the writers will have to focus on wrapping everything up during the series finale. Blue Bloods season 14 updates do not yet provide any clues as to how the series will end, but it is likely that Henry will play a large role in the finale.
Frank’s Story Could Make Henry Crucial To Blue Bloods’ Ending
The Most Logical Ending Involves Frank Using Henry As a Sounding Board
Blue Bloods revolves around Frank’s position as the New York Police Commissioner. In many episodes, he butts heads with the mayor or the press over policy decisions or has to find a way to remain fair and impartial when one of his sons is accused of violating police department policy. Thus, logically, the series should end with Frank deciding to step down from his position. Frank choosing to retire would remove one of the most important pillars of Blue Bloods’ central premise and provide a satisfying resolution for the series.
Frank has already hinted at this possibility in a conversation with Mayor Chase during episode 1 of season 14. However, he’d likely resist making this life-changing decision because he enjoys his job and hates change. Henry often acts as a sounding board for Frank and would be in the best position to guide him about this decision. Henry could talk to Frank about his own decision to retire and encourage Frank to consider it seriously. If Blue Bloods goes in this direction, Henry and Frank’s final scenes could be among the most moving and memorable of the entire series.

The Reagan Family Patriarch Could Help Open a New Chapter For the Family As The Series Ends
If Frank does step down, Jamie might consider working toward eventually getting appointed to the position. Jamie and Henry’s relationship has often been contentious, so Henry encouraging Jamie to work toward this goal would be a moving resolution to their relationship. Jamie is the most likely of Frank’s kids to be a future commissioner but the least likely to be willing to take the leap. Henry encouraging him would allow Henry to help Frank pass the torch to the next generation. Henry could also be there to celebrate if Jamie and Eddie have a baby near the series’ end.
Despite a fan-led campaign to save Blue Bloods, the series is likely to end with season 14. Allowing Henry to help usher in the end of an era by encouraging Frank to step down and Jamie to step up would be a fitting conclusion for the popular family drama. As the oldest member of the Reagan family in Blue Bloods, it would be emotional and appropriate for Henry to be central to the end of the Reagan family saga.
