Henry made a mistake way back when that he continues to agonize over

The fifth episode of "Blue Bloods" Season 11, titled "Spilling Secrets," focused on exactly what its title promised. During a meeting with a tax professional, Frank learns of unexplained transactions coming from his father's bank account. Worried someone has hacked into Henry's savings, Frank approaches him about it, but the former NYPD commissioner oddly puts an end to the discussion. Upon prying further into the matter, Frank learns the truth about these withdrawals and why Henry has authorized them for so long without letting anyone else in the family know.

While he was still on the force, Henry and his partner wound up in a confrontation with a supposedly suspicious individual. The partner believed he saw a gun on the man's person, so he shot him, which paralyzed him for the rest of his life. They never recovered the gun Henry's partner claimed to see, thus rendering the situation even more avoidable than it already was. Ever since, Henry has felt immense guilt over it all, so he has transferred money to the man as a form of coping and apologizing. The man has died at this point, so Henry holds out hope that his family has collected the funds instead.

Henry may not have fired the shot that put an innocent man in a wheelchair, but he harbors plenty of regret for putting him in that position, to begin with. It's generous of him to try and make up for the pain he and his partner caused, though one has to wonder how much of a difference it really made for the victim. Nevertheless, it stands to reason that this was Henry Reagan's biggest mistake on "Blue Bloods."

^^^ To me, Henry's biggest mistake was during a season four episode when Danny discovers Henry's involvement with an illegal poker game. A former cop ends up getting killed while getting the book that Henry's name would've been found in if the book had found its way into the hands of the authorities.

God bless you always!!!
