Chase and Frank clash once again in Season 14, Episode 2

“Blue Bloods” continues to have Frank Reagan weigh the deficit between his family and working life as Season 14 progresses. During Episode 2, “Dropping Bombs,” Mayor Chase admits during an interview that he’s thinking of expanding the role of police commissioner within the force … by taking Frank’s job and turning the commissionership into a committee. Five people make up the new Commission of Police, diminishing Frank’s ultimate role on the team but leaving him a part of it.

Frank’s somewhat incensed by this revelation, feeling betrayed by Chase’s choice. Their harmony has already dissipated, and the commissioner tells the mayor it’s a terrible idea. The two then banter about the level of crime in New York, and Frank claims Chase is trying to blame everything on him. It’s not one of Frank Reagan’s best moments on “Blue Bloods,” but it seems to be laying major groundwork for its ending.

The situation remains up in the air when the episode concludes, so viewers can expect this running theme to continue as the rest of the season plays out.
