One of the most ridiculous premises when a priest refuses to notify police of the whereabouts of a kidnapped boy. Figure that. No amount of religious belief or conviction would make that scenario appropriate. God would not approve of or condone anyone keeping such a secret. But, then again, priests aren't exactly bound by God's laws.

A socialite, a hooker, found dead in the park? That is a very reaching premise to exact and therefore you don't have to be surprised at all regarding who the villain was.
Surprise. Erin was reduced to sitting at the family weekly dinner in this episode, as all the children are reminded by Frank about their brushing up with the law in earlier years. This all comes into view after Jamie gets into a fight at former NY cop's wedding and all involved are placed in a holding pen over-night. Jamie sports quite a shiner in this episode. It all goes to prove that even the police are not all picture-perfect.
Not a bad episode, but we've had far better on other occasions.

One of the best

In this episode, Frank must convince a priest to go against his oath to help solve a crime, as well as Danny and Baez in a 'second-fiddle' case involving a murdered celebrity. While it may not be the best episode in this series run it still posed interested sub-plots as in how one solves a crime when sacred oaths must be upheld.
Overall, the episode dragged on a bit but Tom Selleck plays the moral authority very well. One might say that it's politicized but when it comes to a crime drama you'll most certainly see some sort of balancing act involving procedure and protocol, but also morality.
Too many shows have needless shoot-outs, explosions, and scenarios in which things could have been avoided. Blue Bloods manages to avoid going too far into that Michael Bay zone. What really works for this show is the fact it's somewhat a continuation of the last but is still within itself so that one doesn't have to binge-watch the entire season to know what's going on.
The only part of the show I'd advise the creators to scale back on is Jamie's relationship with his partner. Maybe once every few episodes but not so often that it detracts from the fact it's supposed to be a crime drama, not a drama.
