In tonight’s Boston Blue episode, Sarah caught a weird case. She was Superintendent. She doesn’t investigate cases. Only this time she noticed something that her detectives missed. She noticed that their shooter was familiar with the scene and wasn’t afraid to run towards the security guard because he already had an escape route planned.
She even found the gun he ditched. The gun was registered to the Ferguson household. It was soon revealed that the person that used the gun and killed three people was Kyle Ferguson. He was sixteen.
With sixteen years olds, it could have been anything that set him off. He could have gotten fired from the frozen yogurt shop. Or he could have asked someone out and gotten turned down.
Or maybe he just wanted to kill. Mass shooters never need a reason. Its just hard to think of a sixteen year old being a mass shooter. Lena and Danny didn’t work that case. They were held back at the station. There was a man that came in claiming to have information on the Rose Hawthorne Musuem Heist. This heist was the biggest unsolved case in Boston’s history.
There’s been plenty of crackpots that have come forward with new supposed evidence. It never goes anywhere. This new guy didn’t even go ahead with telling them the information. He got a phone call and he left without ever talking to the actual detectives. He was important because they got called to the scene of that man’s homicide.
He was killed in his father’s house. His father wasn’t well and Andy Gosher Jr. was taking care of him until senior eventually passed away. Andy knew his killer. He let them in and they bludgeoned him. And stole a painting off his wall.
The painting was stolen the same way as Rose Hawthorne heist was carried out. It was cut out of its frame. It led to Lena believing the two cases are connected. Andy probably did know something and was killed before he could reveal it. Andy received two calls while he was at the police station that morning. One was from his brother.
The other was from his dad’s best friend, Zachary Alberico. Both men said they were calling to check in on Andy since senior passed. It was either one of them if not both of them that were lying.
Lena did some digging. She learned that Andy Gosher Sr. and Zachary were both suspects in the original heist. They were known thieves. They were questioned. They never cracked and so they were released. Only Lena loved museums. She went to the original one after the heist. One of the stolen paintings was the same size as the one taken from the Gosher house. It seems the two buddies did do it. They even kept mementos. Gosher’s kept a famous painting up on his wall in full view of everyone.
They all thought it was a fake. Andy’s daughter even thought it was a fake. There was one person who knew for a fact it was real and they might also be the killer.
It was up to Lena and Danny to build the case. They connected the cheap painting frame from the Gosher house to the missing painting. Danny also found evidence that the killer made Andy some coffee. They drank it together. They talked and they soon got into an argument in which Andy was killed. Though it wasn’t Zachary that killed Andy. It was his brother.
The brother was a mechanic. Clayton heard from Andy that he found their dad’s lockbox. There was a letter inside. Senior confessed to everything and he mentioned that the painting on the wall was real.
Andy wanted to report it. Clayton wanted to make a quick buck. He also didn’t want his father or Zachary to get in trouble for what happened decades ago. He went to the old house with his gun. He used it to kill his brother. All of this because senior waited until after death to confess to a crime. The letter just couldn’t be used against Zachary.
Even if he did steal the manet after Clayton killed Andy.
Father and sons are complicated. Danny has been living with Sean. Sean was beginning to hate it. They’ve watched so many WWII movies that Sean hated going home. He needed a break from his dad.
He was afraid to ask him to move out. Jonah gave him the idea of Sean leaving the apartment. His roommate moved in and he needed a new one. Sean could be that roommate. He could leave his apartment to his dad. This way he knows his dad has a place to stay. And Sean doesn’t have to worry about his dad going into his room when he’s not there.
Sean sadly learned that his dad trying to be there for him made him an unique case. He spotted an elderly and confused man on the street during patrol. They had to help him get back home.
They also saved his life when he tried to fix the tv antenna on the roof. The man needed help. He luckily has an adult son. Who quickly took him home with him when he learned that his father was getting forgetful. Sometimes pride shouldn’t stop a conversation. Danny was about to offer to move out when Sean gave him his apartment instead. He was going to take Jonah up on the offer to be roommates.
Sarah also convinced her mom to charge Kyle Ferguson’s parents with manslaughter. They knew their son was dangerous. He’s been kicked out of several schools.
He was given medication that he never took. He openly discussed hurting the teenagers that he eventually killed. His parents knew all of this and they still took him to the gun range because they claimed they wanted to be responsible gun owners. Their son was mentally ill. And their lock box was not secure if he knew the code to it.
But after getting so close, it hurt Lena when she couldn’t find the paintings or return them to the museum.
THE END!
