Erin's method of catching Pablo Torres was dubious at best

The seventh episode of "Blue Bloods" Season 1, titled "Brothers," showed just how seriously Erin Reagan takes her job. For some time, she and her department had worked tirelessly to bring a dangerous gang member named Pablo Torres (Francis Capra) to justice with no success. Thus, she decides it's time to call on Pablo's clean, law-abiding brother Esteban (Max Arciniega) to testify against him in court. Not only is this a pretty morally obscene course to take, but it causes issues for both the Reagan and Torres families that extend far beyond the courtroom.

After consulting Pablo about the position Erin has thrust him into, Esteban testifies, prompting the authorities to apprehend his brother. However, when they attempt to do so, they find Pablo dead in his home via murder, which raises the stakes significantly. Erin and her brother Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) now have to work together and try to figure out who did it before they can get to Esteban. Thankfully, before any harm could come to him, the Reagans find the man responsible. Sadly though, without Pablo's money to fund it, Esteban had to close the doors of his community learning center for good.

Overall, "Brothers" wasn't Erin Reagan's finest moment on "Blue Bloods." Her desire to get Pablo locked up resulted in his death and almost that of his brother and even shut down a valuable community asset. Sure, illegally-obtained funds may have kept it alive in the first place, but the least she could have done was try to find a way to keep it around as a way to repay Esteban for the trouble she put him through. Regardless, this case is long over and done, and hopefully, Erin has learned from this situation in the years since.
