There’s been a lot of buzz surrounding one particular scene in the upcoming series finale of 'Blue Bloods.' Fans have been speculating endlessly about who might be leaving the show for good. The cast has hinted that they filmed a funeral scene for Season 14, and now CBS has finally released some photos of this pivotal moment, sending the fanbase into a frenzy. Everyone's trying to piece together clues to figure out who might be saying goodbye.

Warning: Spoilers ahead for the final episode of 'Blue Bloods'!

Who’s at the 'Blue Bloods' Season 14 Funeral?

The final episode of 'Blue Bloods,' titled “End of Tour,” is set to air on CBS on December 13, 2024. It’s going to be an emotional rollercoaster, and the funeral scene is just the tip of the iceberg. According to the images CBS has released, several key characters are present at the funeral. We’re talking about Frank Reagan, Henry Reagan, Eddie Janko-Reagan, Jamie Reagan, Danny Reagan, Erin Reagan, Mayor Peter Chase, Maria Baez, and Jack Boyle. In the background, you can also spot other members of the NYPD dressed in their uniforms, showing solidarity in mourning.

Now, just because someone isn’t in these specific photos doesn’t necessarily mean they weren’t there. These images are just a tiny peek into what’s coming in the series finale. It’s a safe bet that most of the main cast members will be safe and sound, but we can’t completely rule out the possibility of a secondary character meeting their end. If we take a closer look at the funeral pictures, we notice that Eddie is sitting next to the mayor. Interestingly, her partner, Luis Badillo, is nowhere to be seen. This has led many fans to speculate that he might be the one who didn’t make it.

The official synopsis for the episode reads: “It’s all hands on deck for the Reagan family as they race against time to stop chaos from erupting in the city. The gangs of New York have united, demanding amnesty for their imprisoned members and those awaiting trial. This historic series finale episode of 'Blue Bloods' will leave viewers on the edge of their seats.”

Clues About Which Character Might Depart

In one of the photos, there’s a floral arrangement in the background shaped like an NYPD badge. This subtle detail strongly suggests that the person who passed away was a member of the police force. It’s a heart-wrenching clue that’s left fans scratching their heads.

In the trailer for the final episodes of Season 14, we see the funeral attendees saluting the coffin. Mayor Peter Chase, who appears to be wearing a sling, places his hand over his chest during the ceremony. This indicates that the mayor might have been injured during the events leading up to the funeral. There’s even a promotional image showing Frank visiting the mayor in the hospital, which adds another layer of intrigue.

Additionally, there are photos of Eddie wearing a hospital gown and sitting in a wheelchair. Danny is by her side, offering comfort. It’s unclear if the mayor and Eddie were involved in the same incident that landed them both in the hospital. And, of course, the question remains: Was Luis Badillo part of this mix as well?
