The Best Family Dinner Scene In Blue Bloods Season 4

There are plenty of memorable family dinners in "Blue Bloods" Season 4, but few stand out as much as the one in "Justice Served." When the Reagan family is uncharacteristically quiet during the proceedings, given how no one can really talk about current events, Nicky (Sami Gayle) breaks the tension by saying how she also has a secret. She then "reveals" that she got a tattoo, much to the shock of her family. She then lets the cat out of the bag that she was just kidding.

The moment stands out so much for the silliness it provides in a rather serious episode with high stakes. It gives both the characters and viewers a chance to breathe a little easier and laugh alongside Nicky. We clearly weren't the only ones who enjoyed the joke. In a CBS list of the best Reagan family dinner moments, Nicky's joke made the cut. It also appears on a list for Pop Culture for best family dinner scenes.

Seeing how "Blue Bloods" tends to be a tense show, it's nice when the series can interject some levity into the proceedings. Nicky's joke certainly falls into that category, and it's all the better seeing how the dinner occurs about halfway through the episode, allowing the audience to relax a little before getting into more tense altercations.
