Hey there, fans of Blue Bloods! As the show nears its final episodes, rumors are flying about which beloved character might not make it through to the end. Vanessa Ray, who plays the fantastic Eddie Janko-Reagan, has been teasing what's in store for her character in the closing chapters of the series. Trust me, it's going to be emotional, intense, and unforgettable.
Vanessa Ray Spills the Beans on Her Final Scenes
Vanessa recently opened up about the final episodes in an interview with TV Insider. She revealed that Eddie will have a standout scene with Luis Badillo, portrayed by the incredibly talented Ian Quinlan. If you've been following the show, you know these two have built a deep, complex relationship over the years. Vanessa described this scene as one of her top-five favorites from the entire series. Can you believe that? This is clearly something we don't want to miss.
What Makes This Scene So Special?
Vanessa went on to explain how unique and memorable this moment was for her. "She’s got a really good one with Badillo," she said during the interview. "It’s probably one of my top-five favorite scenes I’ve ever shot with him." She added that working with Ian Quinlan was such a rewarding experience, and the complexity of the scene made it even more exciting. The team had to film it in multiple ways to ensure they got the perfect take for the final edit. "It was cool to shoot it because we had to shoot it about four different ways," Vanessa recalled. "So that was really fun."

Family Focus in the Final Episodes
Of course, the Reagans are all about family, and Vanessa hinted that the final episodes will emphasize just that. "And then it’s a lot of family. It’s a lot of being with the family," she said. If you're a fan of the tight-knit Reagan clan, you're in for a treat. These final episodes will bring the family together in ways we've never seen before, making for an emotional farewell.
The Mystery Surrounding Badillo's Fate
With only two episodes left, fans are on the edge of their seats wondering if Luis Badillo will survive the series finale. CBS released teaser photos for the final episodes, and Badillo was notably absent from a funeral scene that has everyone buzzing. Now, I don't know about you, but this omission has me questioning everything. Is Badillo in trouble? Did something happen to him? We'll have to wait and see.
A Troubled Past for Badillo
Let's not forget the drama that unfolded in season 14, episode 16, when Badillo was caught smoking weed. Jamie Reagan, played by the incredible Will Estes, tried to help Badillo by suggesting he go to rehab to save his job. But Badillo refused, leading Jamie to file a false report against him. In the end, Jamie was the one who got cited. This incident highlighted the tension and loyalty between these characters, setting the stage for what could be a dramatic conclusion.

Eddie's Perspective on Badillo's Situation
Vanessa reflected on Eddie's feelings about Badillo's past struggles and why she might not have pushed him toward rehab. "No, I don’t think she thinks that he needed to go to rehab, but I think that she was, anything that could be done to clear his name and to clear any sort of questioning of—She wants him to look, not just to look good, but to be safe and be protected," Vanessa explained. She emphasized that Eddie views Badillo as a lifelong friend, almost like a brother. Their bond is unique, free from any romantic tension, and rooted in pure loyalty. "It’s such a different relationship between her and Jamie and that there’s no romance, none of that. It’s just, ‘Oh, my dumb brother did something and I wanted to do the right thing.’”
Eddie's priority is to ensure Badillo's safety and well-being. "She’s just like, ‘What can get him out of trouble? I don’t want him to be in trouble. And he was going through something.’ So I think she’s like, ‘OK, you need to talk to me, buddy.’” This scene will likely highlight Eddie's protective instincts and her deep care for those she holds dear.
The Countdown to the Finale
The penultimate episode of Blue Bloods airs on December 6, setting the stage for the series finale on December 13. Vanessa hinted that Eddie and Jamie's relationship will face its toughest test yet. "I don’t think people are really ready for what’s going to happen in the next two episodes," she teased. "Everything is happening. It’s all happening all at once." Fans, brace yourselves for an emotional rollercoaster as the Reagans face their final challenges together.
