In the Season 1 finale of Boston Blue, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) went on patrol with his son Sean (Mika Amonsen), while Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green) got shot while conducting a door knock for an investigation. Luckily, she survived and was home for Shabbat dinner by the end of the episode. But the cliffhanger came in the last 60 seconds when Lena’s boyfriend, Detective Brian Rodgers (Ryan Broussard), was getting back in his vehicle after buying flowers on the way to dinner when his car was T-boned and pushed into the bay, leaving viewers with a cliffhanger as to whether or not he survived, and who was driving the offending truck.

“There will be a time jump when we come back, but we will pick up that story, so we will work through what happened that night,” executive producer Brandon Sonnier told Parade. “We will work through where they are in the case moving forward, but in order to get Danny and Lena back up on the street, on her feet, we’re going past the leave of absence that Lena had to take in order to physically heal before she gets back on the job.”

And executive producer Brandon Margolis added, “We will not leave audiences hanging for very long as to what happened to Rodgers, what the BPD’s interest is in the driver of that truck and that will have a lot of momentum coming into this season.”
