901"Partners"David M. BarrettSiobhan Byrne-O'ConnorSeptember 26, 2014 (2014-09-26)50110.88[6]
While Danny and Baez are part of a convoy escorting an undercover moving van transporting $30 million worth of confiscated narcotics, they are ambushed by armed gunmen, injuring Baez, and killing the driver of the truck. As she and Danny try to uncover a DEA mole, Maria is upset to later find out that her brother Javi is involved with the drug cartel. But Javi reveals he has been a DEA informant for the past three months. As the partners infiltrate a building housing the drugs, Maria sees that Javi is working both sides. When a cartel member fires at Maria, however, Javi steps in front and takes the fatal bullet. Elsewhere, Jamie must make a decision between acting on his newly realized feelings for Eddie or keeping her as a partner, after Renzulli reminds him how a romantic relationship between partners is strictly forbidden. Frank is put in a tough spot after a highly commended lieutenant and former partner of Gormley gives the order for a crazed man in the middle of Times Square to be tazed, causing the man to fall into the path of an oncoming van and get killed. While Mayor Poole advises Frank to be deliberately ambiguous at a press conference, Gormley verbally attacks Frank for not defending his friend and former partner.
912"Forgive and Forget"Eric LaneuvilleIan BiedermanOctober 3, 2014 (2014-10-03)50210.85[7]
Officer Kara Walsh, the woman who confessed to seeing her partner, Officer Randy Cudder, use an unauthorized chokehold that killed a man in custody (see episode 4x20 "Custody Battle"), is back on the job and is being shunned by fellow officers. This includes Eddie, who calls Walsh a "rat" and becomes angered when Jamie offers to be Kara's temporary partner. When Jamie and Kara get in a shootout while responding to an armed robbery at a local pharmacy, nearby officers ignore the call for backup. Eddie and her temporary partner eventually get from the other side of the precinct service area, arriving in time to see Kara take a bullet. Jamie then makes it clear to the rest of the precinct that if they keep disrespecting Kara, then they will have to answer to him. Danny attends the funeral for a girl who was shot by a gang member eight years earlier in a case that was assigned to him. The shooter, Damon, was a juvenile at the time and served only a short sentence. When the autopsy shows the bullet was the ultimate cause of the girl's delayed death, her father Marcus (played by Eric Laneuville, who also directed this episode) urges Danny to reopen the case as a murder. Erin gets the go-ahead from her office, but upon meeting with Damon, she sees how he has turned his life around and is running a center for at-risk youths. Danny gets ticked off when Erin is reluctant to prosecute. Elsewhere, Frank gets news of old friend detective Christopher Scanlon being involved in the accidental shooting of his own partner, Jimmy. Garrett says the partner's blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit, but there is no breathalyzer data for Chris. Frank suspects a cover-up, after finding out Chris is four months from retirement with a full pension.
923"Burning Bridges"John BehringWillie RealeOctober 10, 2014 (2014-10-10)50311.09[8]
A detective at Danny's precinct is unwillingly outed as gay after attempting to stop a hate crime at a gay bar he was patronizing, causing his partner to refuse to work with him. This forces Sgt. Gormley to temporarily split up Danny and Maria, assigning each to one of the squabbling partners. In a related matter, Henry and a nun from St. Dominic's, Frank's childhood school, convince Frank to use his friendship with the local archbishop to try and save the school from being closed due to budget cuts. When a recent assault is classified as a hate crime due to the victim being gay, a reporter's question backs Frank into a corner, causing Frank to admit that he thinks the Catholic church is "behind the times" in its stance on homosexuality. Meanwhile, a young detective that Jamie was a rookie with and who stole a collar from him does it again. Jamie finds a way to get back at the detective, with help from Erin.
934"Excessive Force"Alex ZakrzewskiBrian BurnsOctober 17, 2014 (2014-10-17)50410.70[9]
After chasing a robbery suspect into an apartment building, Danny watches as the young man hurls himself out a third floor window, breaking his leg on the ground, before screaming that Danny pushed him out the window. A crowd gathers in support of the man and begin cursing at Danny, who looks confusedly out the broken glass. Reverend Potter, who has chastised the NYPD's methods before, begins a crusade to get Danny fired and builds up scores of supporters. Danny finds out that a young boy named Ernesto, who lives in the building, witnessed the suspect jumping out the window, but when he goes to talk to the boy, he learns the family has moved for fear of being deported. Frank meets with Potter, who tells him that he'll make everything go away if he fires Danny. But further investigation leads Frank and Danny to learn that Potter is now housing Ernesto's family, and that Ernesto has changed his story. They are able to get a warrant for witness tampering from Erin, and after assurances that they will not deport his family, Ernesto tells the truth to the press. Frank confronts Potter with the charges, but ultimately just warns him and lets him save face with his flock. Elsewhere, Eddie suggests that Jamie turn on the charm to get information from an attractive E.R. doctor, but she then appears to get jealous when Jamie makes a date with the woman. After stern rejections, Eddie finally admits she was a little jealous. Jamie says they have something special going as partners and friends and hopes encounters don't "get weird" between them, after which they agree to keep matters neutral. Also, Gormley thinks he is being transferred after standing up for Danny and his precinct in a heated CompStat meeting. Instead, Frank offers Gormley the position of Special Assistant to the Commissioner, effectively replacing Dino Arbogast as Chief of Department.
945"Loose Lips"Alex ChappleDaniel TrulyOctober 24, 2014 (2014-10-24)50511.42[10]
While out jogging, Jamie encounters a young woman with a black eye, sitting on a bench and weeping. She is afraid to say anything, so Jamie hands her his card and plans to get her into police custody. However, before he can, she suddenly vanishes. The woman later ends up in the hospital hours later, severely beaten, with Danny and Maria paying her a visit. She dies before she can tell them the name of her killer, but not before she says that he will certainly be out to kill Jamie for simply talking to her. Suspicion falls on the boyfriend, a club bouncer named Little G, but he seems genuinely upset when Danny and Maria tell him the news of the girl's death. He mentions an ex-boyfriend named Price, who continued to stalk and harass the girl after she broke up with him. Jamie refuses to accept a desk assignment for protection, and his car is fire-bombed that night, with he and Eddie narrowly escaping. Danny and Maria arrest Price at his auto shop, where he pushes Maria. With three charges now against Price, Erin tries to get him arraigned, but the judge declares all evidence circumstantial and lets Price walk. After Price gives "the eye" to Jamie in the precinct, Eddie goes after him. The next day, while talking to Jaime on the phone. Eddie is kidnapped by Price, forcing Danny, Maria and Jamie to quickly try to save her. Elsewhere, social media affects both Nicky and Henry. Nicky loses a chance at admission to Rutgers due to some disparaging Tweets she made about a rude teacher in her school (though after meeting said teacher in person, Erin turns to her daughter and admits, "You're not kidding!"), while Henry causes a stink when he's secretly caught on cameraphone making a comment to a friend about how the cops would knock around some low-lifes in his day to get information, regarding how he would handle Jamie's situation. This puts Frank in a difficult position when the clip gets posted to the Internet and he and Henry end up trading words at Sunday dinner.

During a road rage incident, an internationally-wanted crime boss named Zoran Brasha beats a truck driver with a tire iron. The case is of particular interest to Frank and Danny, given that Brasha has been arrested for other violent crimes in New York and has always been able to escape conviction by intimidating victims, killing off witnesses or getting others on his crime team to take the rap for him. As Erin prepares to prosecute Brasha, she meets his lawyer, a woman who was her college classmate. When Brasha threatens his latest victim's family and is able to get bail, Erin confronts her friend, convinced she is aware of the witness tampering. Danny and Maria have to take another angle to produce evidence against Brasha, but are racing against the clock as he prepares to leave the country. Meanwhile, Erin has been considering leaving the DA's office and getting into private practice, especially after adding up what Nicky's college will cost. For her part, Nicky chooses to stay in New York to attend Columbia and live with a friend who also got in, which will at least reduce her living expenses. Elsewhere, Frank asks Jamie to participate in an NYPD-FDNY charity boxing match, fighting in Danny's old weight class, after a fellow officer who was in line to box injures his ankle. Danny meets his new by-the-book boss, Lt. Dee Ann Carver (LaTanya Richardson), and she says she's not particularly fond of what she's heard about his methods in working cases.

Lt. Carver wants to ride along with each of her detectives, and Danny is first in line. While investigating a drive-by shooting at a playground, they find a young mother has been gunned down but her baby is unharmed. A young man tries to flee, though in an interview with Danny later, he identifies himself as Rudy, the father of the now motherless baby. He says that the mother became a target when her ex-boyfriend got out of prison, knowing that the baby was too young to be his, and Rudy fears he is next. Danny gets Rudy to I.D. the drug-dealing former boyfriend, but Carver becomes irate over his techniques. Elsewhere, Jamie and Eddie find a young woman who has apparently hanged herself. But further investigation shows she was the victim of sexual harassment by her boss at her tavern job, and after she quit, the boss raped and killed her, staging it to look like suicide by hanging. Meanwhile, in an interview on CBS This Morning featuring Frank and newly-appointed D.A. Robert McCoy Holt McCallany, McCoy states he doesn't plan to prosecute petty marijuana possession charges, and he asks what Frank thinks about that. Frank feels like he was ambushed, and when Erin is ambivalent upon being questioned about it by Frank, her dad correctly surmises that Erin and McCoy are or have been romantically involved.

As part of a deal made with the NYPD, a drug dealer named Javier Rojas, facing conviction for being an accessory to murder, testifies against drug kingpin Rolando Vega. Though Rojas has been promised witness protection, the feds find a technicality and says the deal is not legally binding, thus putting Rojas back on the street and in danger. Lt. Carver tells Danny and Maria that they have no choice but to obey the Feds' decision, but the two detectives secretly protect Rojas anyway. After avoiding a reporter who wants an exclusive on the Vega conviction, Danny realizes he can use the press to put pressure on the Feds. Elsewhere, Erin meets with Hannah, the daughter of one of her old schoolmates. Hannah says she was raped several weeks ago at a freshman orientation party by a star soccer player, but did not report it because the dean of students said the school could act on the incident quicker than the cops. The perpetrator walked free, and Erin cannot find any evidence to bring him to trial, but she does find a way to punish the dean and her office for deliberately ignoring evidence in a cover-up attempt. Frank deals with the case of an officer accused of knocking a suspect to the ground, causing a head injury. The officer was wearing a body camera as part of a pilot program, but the camera either malfunctioned or was shut off just prior to the incident. To exonerate the officer, Frank has to convince an unwilling mother in the neighborhood to share a cell phone video that captured what really happened.

Gormley's promotion to Lieutenant. Henry and Frank watch Lt. Gormley interview DeCarlo. He had changed his name years ago and his son was unaware of his involvement. DeCarlo tells Gormley he was on the scene, but says someone behind him pulled the trigger. Henry is certain he saw DeCarlo with the gun. Henry is interviewed and his recollection of events is sketchy. Erin tells Frank she does not think Henry's testimony will stand up to cross-examination, so Frank reluctantly asks DeCarlo's son to try to get a confession out of his father.

Though the girl has only minor cuts and bruises, the driver's blood-alcohol level is found to be 0.12 (over the legal limit of 0.08), meaning he will be charged. The detective on the case gets a confession from the man. Eddie has interviewed a witness who says there were two people in the van and the person driving was not the person that returned to the scene.

This creates a rift between Garrett and Gormley on how to treat these actions while maintaining the image of the NYPD. Garrett becomes annoyed when he thinks Frank is favoring Gormley. Ultimately, Spanky is arrested while trying to fly to the UK.

She investigates further and finds that several of the warden's colleagues have been involved in a drug ring, while another warden who refused to play along killed himself due to the pressure.

Meanwhile, Gormley has submitted Danny and Maria for medals of valor for their actions in "Partners", but Frank is reluctant to decorate his son for fear of backlash against himself and Danny.

Danny and Maria investigate the death of Bobby Torres, a resident of the "poor" section of an otherwise upscale apartment building. Maria notes that, to get permits approved faster, developers sometimes offer to allocate 20 percent of a building to low-income housing. It is revealed that Bobby, a young school teacher, was dating the daughter of a wealthy Russian immigrant, Ivan, who rents the building's penthouse. While Ivan has an alibi for the night of Bobby's murder, video surveillance shows him nodding to an unknown man in the lobby that same day. The daughter is shocked when she views the video and recognizes the man as someone who once worked for her father. Jamie and Eddie arrive on the scene of an armed robbery, and get involved in a shootout that injures both a fellow officer and a perp named Wally. Though Wally was unarmed, he is arrested for the robbery attempt and cuffed to his hospital bed. Eddie and Jamie play a game of "bad cop/worse cop", but cannot get Wally to reveal where the shooter might be hiding. After a doctor confirms that Wally will likely die from sepsis caused by the bullet wound, however, he finally confides in Jamie, who in turn offers to help locate Wally's estranged mother before he dies. Elsewhere, Detective Weams, a former colleague of Gormley's, has been photographed by the Daily News driving a $300,000 Ferrari.

While the officers try to apprehend the perp, Andy approaches the man and is shot in the foot. The perp then turns the gun toward Eddie, who shoots and kills him. After the usual hearing, everyone agrees it was a clean shoot, but Jamie can see his partner is having a tough time dealing with her first kill; after lambasting Andy in front of several other cops, Eddie finally breaks down crying in Jamie's arms after asking him to stay at her place for the night. Meanwhile, Mayor Poole asks Frank to "look into" an arrest that involves the husband of a favorite employee.

Erin becomes unnerved when she sees that her apartment may have been burglarized, and her suspicions are confirmed when an unidentified assailant violently attacks a co-worker. When a patch from a local biker gang is left behind at the scene of the attack, Erin tells Danny and Maria about putting away the gang's leader several months ago, and they investigate. Their investigation of that gang turns up nothing, but they later find evidence that a rival biker group had a run-in with the suspected gang, and is trying to frame them. Jamie and Eddie find a pipe bomb in an elderly woman's apartment, but their investigation is derailed by a zealous detective. Complicating things, the elderly woman shows signs of Alzheimer's disease and thinks Eddie is her estranged niece, making any testimony from her unreliable. Elsewhere, Frank and Nicky are eating breakfast and get approached by a young man soliciting donations for a Local Heroes Fund. Frank is quickly suspicious because the fund is using the NYPD logo and he has never heard of them. Frank investigates the fund's director, a woman who appears to be sincere despite never submitting paperwork to become a licensed charity. At Frank's insistence, further investigation by Det. Baker and Lt. Gormley reveals that the woman is using an assumed name and is wanted for running similar fraudulent fundraising operations in three other cities.
10718"Bad Company"Tawnia McKiernanBryan GoluboffMarch 13, 2015 (2015-03-13)51811.07[23]
Danny and Maria learn of a sex slave kidnapping ring, which is luring in young Eastern European women with Web sites for phony hostels. Working with Federal authorities, the detectives determine that Eddie would be the perfect cop to go undercover and allow herself to be kidnapped, but Jamie worries that she isn't yet ready for such a dangerous assignment. As the two discuss Jamie's first undercover assignment in the Sanfino crime family, Jamie reluctantly agrees when Eddie says she wants to prove herself the way he did. Meanwhile, Frank is approached by Sarah Grant, a young woman now in her 20's whom Frank saved as a child early in his career and has kept in touch with him over the years. After asking if Frank will come to her wedding, Sarah comes to Frank after she receives a letter from the inmate who murdered her family when she was seven. The inmate, Donald Berry, wants to meet with Sarah, saying he's found God in prison, but Frank advises against it. Sarah agrees with Frank at first, but then decides she wants to confront Berry once and for all before she gets married. Meanwhile, Henry introduces his new female companion Sylvia (portrayed by Tovah Feldshuh) to Erin, who becomes suspicious after a brief conversation between the three of them. After meeting the woman for lunch and doing some background checks, it appears that Erin's suspicions have merit: she is a serial con artist with an active warrant for her arrest in at least one other state.
10819"Through The Looking Glass"Eric LaneuvilleSiobhan Byrne O'ConnorApril 3, 2015 (2015-04-03)51910.70[24]
A homeless man in the Brownsville section of Brooklyn is set on fire while he sleeps on a park bench, and he dies. A zealous reporter named Anne Farrell (played by Leslie Hope) covers the story, and also makes derogatory Tweets about how poorly the NYPD patrols neighborhoods like Brownsville. Frank asks to meet with Anne, but the meeting does not go well and she continues to take issue with the NYPD, and Frank in particular. Farrell then scores an interview with the murder suspect, who says while his face and voice are altered that he set the man on fire as part of a gang initiation, and that she can be certain it will happen again. Farrell claims First Amendment protection, but Erin is able to get a judge to compel Farrell to give up the information in order to prevent a future violent crime from being committed. Farrell refuses to testify and goes to jail, where Frank visits her. He says he has nothing to do with her being in jail, then tries to convince her that her information will save lives. Meanwhile, Danny and Maria are ordered by Lt. Carver to take a 16-year troublemaker named Charelle along with them for the Rescue Ride program. This happens just before the detectives have to investigate a drug-related homicide. Danny orders Charelle to stay in the car, but she ignores Danny and then pukes after observing the body of one of the victims. Charelle later complicates a raid on an apartment building by showing up after seeing the info posted on a board in the squad room, prompting Danny and Baez to take her into custody after the incident. Carver asks Danny if he thinks that's the right thing to do. Danny affirms by relaying a story about skipping school and his father letting him get sent to juvenile detention for it, saying he never skipped school again. Elsewhere, Erin has opened up a 20-year-old cold case that turns out to be the murder of McBride's mother. She tells McBride she really wants to help him solve it, but he says he has investigated every angle. Erin is certain that more modern DNA testing methods could be the key. She is right, but the DNA evidence implicates McBride's father, who left the home when McBride was very young. McBride then tells Erin that's why he stopped investigating the case...because he was afraid that his father might have done it, and he didn't want to be thought of as a murderer's son.
10920"Payback"Alex ChappleLauren Gautier & Kevin WadeApril 10, 2015 (2015-04-10)52010.31[25]
Danny and Maria investigate the murder of a chef known for winning a reality show, but who was struggling to get his new restaurant opened. They visit the owner of the restaurant property, Lech Choinski, a powerful and well-connected real estate developer, and his assistant, Milena. Choinski confirms the deceased chef was behind a half-million dollars on his payments, and points the detectives toward a young man whom Choinski labels as a "troubled" former employee. The young man, who turns out to be a 16-year-old, confesses to robbery and to killing the chef in self defense, but his story doesn't match the facts of the case and the detectives know he's taking a fall for the real killer. Danny and Maria track down another former employee who went to jail rather than turning on Choinski and get him to wear a wire and visit his former boss. Just as the man is about to be made, Milena brags about killing the chef, saying Choinski's male employees were afraid to do it. Jamie and Eddie find a young woman in the street, stripped to her underwear and nearly blacked out, surrounded by numerous other young people with cell phones. When she comes to, the young woman, Christina, says she was involved in an online game that crosses over into the real world. She says the only person who might have drugged her was a former boyfriend and gamer who got jealous when she changed sides. They interview the young man, who says he was jealous but denies taking it any farther. It becomes a he said/she said case, until Erin convinces Jamie that they can get around the regulations at the young man's college and see if he's had any trouble. With Erin's help, Jamie learns the guy was disciplined twice for stalking former girlfriends, and now he and Eddie must race to keep Christina safe. Elsewhere, a traffic stop for suspicion of DUI involving a female driver becomes complicated when State Senator Ted McCreary is revealed to be a passenger in the car and gives the officer a card with Frank's name and number on it. McCreary is an old friend of Frank's who helped him ascend to the position of Commissioner. Over a meal, McCreary tells Frank the driver was his chief-of-staff, Jess Weinstein. Frank tells the married Senator that the arresting officer proclaimed "off the record" that the two were having a lovers' quarrel in the car. McCreary pleads for a way to bury the arrest and save his reputation, but Frank is more worried about giving the arresting officer the impression that the P.C. can be bought.

Shortly after Frank awards longtime friend Deputy Chief Donald Kent (Dennis Haysbert), commander of the NYPD gang division, with his second star, Kent and his wife are shot and killed in a likely gang hit. Frank personally assigns Danny to the case, but impresses upon his son that everything must be done by the book in honor of Chief Kent. Danny believes he can get information from Hector, who witnessed the hit and is in the hospital with a stray bullet wound, but Hector fears the gangs and doesn't want to cause any trouble. Danny also finds evidence that Warrior Kings gang leader Mario Hunt was in the area where the hit took place and he brings him in, but Erin frustrates Danny by saying there is no direct evidence to hold Hunt. Meanwhile, Jamie encounters Curtis, a young man who works as an orderly at Linda's hospital, hanging around an area known for Warrior Kings activity. Curtis assures Jamie he is just passing through, but Curtis' mother, a nurse, confides in Linda that she is afraid that Curtis is being recruited into the gang. Danny finally gets information from Hector that Hunt ordered the hit, but as he had to let Hunt go, he is now in hiding. Danny and Maria meet with Hunt's old boss, Clinton Wallace, who is serving a life sentence in Rikers. While the boss won't give up where Hunt may be hiding, he does hint to Danny and Maria that their witness may be in trouble. As Danny and Maria race back to the hospital, it appears they will be too late. Curtis wheels a cart into Hector's room and pulls a gun from it. Linda is treating Hector, and she instinctively steps in front to protect her patient. As the screen goes black, several gunshots ring out.

It is revealed that Hector was shot by Curtis. The officer supposed to be guarding Hector's room has not returned from his break. Curtis gets away as Linda and a team of doctors and nurses try to save Hector's life but they are unsuccessful. The staff then notices that an exhausted Linda has blood covering her right side, having also been hit by a bullet. Linda falls to the floor, and Danny arrives in time to see her being wheeled off to surgery. As this is now personal, Danny rails on Frank and Erin for letting Hunt go. Frank pulls Danny aside and shares a story with him about Chief Kent. He says Kent was successful in cleaning up gang activity not just because he made arrests, but because he also obtained solid evidence to assure convictions. He implores Danny that there is a way to convict Hunt using proper methods. Danny interviews Curtis, and finds the gang threatened to harm Curtis' mother, Faith, before the shooting. Curtis won't testify against Hunt, for fear of Faith being harmed. Frank visits Faith in the hospital chapel, and convinces her to do the right thing. As Curtis is interviewed again, Faith is brought in, beaten and scarred. Angered, Curtis finally gives up Hunt, but now the team must find him. (Danny then reveals that Faith's wounds were just makeup.) Frank looks through Kent's belongings, and finds the Indian book Arthasasthra, which has the theme "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Danny and Maria arrest numerous members of a rival gang for curfew breaking, and accuse their leader Victor Perez of putting the hit on Kent. Perez of course denies the charges, but eventually gives up a person who would know where Mario Hunt is hiding: Hunt's girl, Regina. With the use of intelligence received from wiretapping Regina's phone (legally), the detectives coax Hunt out of hiding and make an arrest. Frank then visits Warrior King's ringleader Clinton Wallace at the Rikers Island Detention Facility and arrests Wallace for conspiracy to murder the Kent couple and Hector, as well as the attempted murder of Linda. Wallace laughs at the charges as he is already serving life, but Frank then drops a bomb...Chief Kent took an oath with the Federal Marshals, meaning Wallace conspired to kill a Federal agent. And while New York does not have a death penalty, the Feds do. Then Frank mentions that Wallace will be transferred to the federal correctional complex in Terre Haute, Indiana to await trial for the murder of Chief Donald Kent as a federal officer, and Frank will see Wallace at the execution chamber in Terre Haute. Later, the Reagans meet for their Sunday dinner, with Danny and Linda absent as she is still recovering from her wound in the hospital. The couple is then brought to the table via speakerphone, and the entire family says grace together.
