In our exclusive sneak peek, we see the second half of a stop made by Sean and his partner, Jonah (Marcus Scribner), during which the former is helping a young woman named Penny (Xochitl Gomez) recover from an accident. As Sean apologizes for what happened, Penny gets sassy with the on-duty officer, but they quickly find they have plenty in common thanks to their shared love of comic books — specifically Sergio Aragones’ Groo the Wanderer. Immediately smitten, Sean gets his flirt on, but is interrupted by Jonah, who pulls him aside to tell him that he’s wooing a felon. After running her paperwork, Jonah discovered that Penny is on probation thanks to her involvement in a burglary that happened two years ago. Eager to prove themselves while also attempting to keep the spark going, the rookie cops devise a plan to get the truth from Penny about her whereabouts while also potentially getting Sean a date.
With a full hour of storytelling, Boston Blue’s upcoming episode won’t only focus on the nighttime patrolling adventures of Jonah and Sean, but will also weave in several other characters into the fold. As per the episode’s logline, “Marie Baez (Marisa Ramirez), Danny and Lena (Sonequa Martin-Green) hunt down a serial home invader… Meanwhile, Mae (Gloria Reuben) and Sarah (Maggie Lawson) uncover a troubling leak that could upend the justice system.” Indeed, it sounds like there will be enough drama to go around for everyone on this week’s installment of Boston Blue.
