Friday’s “Boston Blue” culminated in a marriage proposal — just not the one “Blue Bloods” fans were hoping for.
During a surprise 80th birthday party for Rev. Peters, Seth got down on one knee and asked Sarah to marry him, presenting her with Mae’s engagement ring, which he had received from his future mother-in-law for the occasion. Baez, in turn, grew overwhelmed and excused herself to get some air.
Earlier in the hour, Baez confided in Lena that she has a lot going on at home. Her mother has come to live with her, and between caring for her mom, raising Elena, and the demands of the job, a long-distance relationship with Danny has grown more difficult to maintain.
‘Maybe we should just say goodbye to each other while we still love each other…’
At the end of the hour, Danny found Baez crying on Mae’s patio. Overwhelmed, she explained that her mother had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s and could no longer be left alone. Danny was sympathetic, saying he would never ask Baez to leave her.
“I love you, and I want a life with you… I just don’t know how we can do this,” Baez said.
“It’s easy,” Danny replied. “I’m coming back home.”
But Baez wouldn’t ask him to do that. “Your life is here, but mine is in New York,” she said. “I can’t change—”
“But what about our love for each other?” Danny asked. “That can’t change either.”
“Can’t it?” she responded. “There are days I can see in my mom’s eyes that she doesn’t know me. I need the last time she remembers me to be a good day. And you, Danny… maybe we should just say goodbye to each other while we still love each other. We don’t have to ever remember a bad day.”
The hour culminates in a tearful embrace — and it certainly seems like Danny and Baez are breaking up, though no definitive answer is given.
