Blue Bloods - Hall of Mirrors

Finally, Blue Bloods returns to Australian television.  We didn't even get to the end of the first season when it was first on!  Thankfully, they have started exactly where they left off, and this episode is an excellent example of why this show is so good.
I liked that the title of the episode is reminiscent of the storyline where not everything is as it appears.  Firstly a man is shot dead in Central Park and the Commissioner gives the job to his son, Danny, to investigate because he is the only one he can trust with the real story behind the investigation.  The dead man was an undercover cop who had infiltrated a terrorist cell who is about to unleash a bio-terrorist attack on New York in just 48hrs.  Danny must not only find out who the killer is, but also if the cop has been compromised, because there is a second undercover cop.  If the first cop was compromised, then they need to pull out the second but then years of work will be undone and a terrorist attack may not be able to be stopped.  Against his better judgement, Danny cannot tell his partner that the dead man was an undercover cop and she is wondering why he is doing so much on his own.  Why was he really killed and will the terrorist attack be stopped in time? 
Also, Danny brother, Jamie, who is a cop on the beat, gets called to a woman's apartment who believes someone keeps coming in and moving things around.  She thinks she is going mad.  Instead of seeing her as a crazy person, Jamie believes she is telling the truth and discovers that someone is getting in and moving things around and more importantly why they are doing it.
In the background of this show is the story of the death of another brother, Joe, who was murdered.  There have been small tidbits about secret groups within the police force and that Joe was investigating people in that group, perhaps even his own family.  Another small piece of the puzzle has a Detective Molevsky come up to Jamie and tell him he used to work with his brother and he says ominously "It can be dangerous out there."
Another excellent episode.
