Jamie tries to help a homeless boy in Home Sweet Home
Season 5, Episode 12, "Home Sweet Home," really tugs at the heartstrings. The episode begins when Jamie and his partner, Eddie Janko (Vanessa Ray), encounter a homeless boy named T.J. (Matthew Miniero). After first trying to run from them, T.J. reveals that his mother is addicted to drugs, leaving him homeless after his aunt's suspected murder. Jamie hears his story and immediately wants to help him.
However, Danny and his partner, Maria Baez (Marisa Ramirez (https://www.looper.com/648028/the-transformation-of-marisa-ramirez-from-childhood-to-blue-bloods/)), find his aunt alive and discover she doesn't want to take care of him. Instead, she spent the money her sister gave her on a hotel and drugs because she doesn't feel T.J. is her responsibility.
The episode ends happily for T.J. since he finds a family willing to foster him, but being abandoned repeatedly is still a crushing circumstance for a young boy. As TV Fanatic (https://www.tvfanatic.com/2015/01/blue-bloods-season-5-episode-12-review-home-sweet-home/) points out, "it must be difficult to look at a 13-year-old kid who has nobody and not feel the need to do something." Plenty of "Blue Bloods" viewers must have felt the same way.
