‘Boston Blue’: Marisa Ramirez Returns as Danny-Baez Romance Heats Up
Spoiler Alert
[Warning: The below contains major spoilers for Boston Blue Season 1, Episode 3, “History.”]
The Boston Blue co-creators are making good on their promise that Blue Bloods’ Maria Baez will make multiple appearances on this first season of the spinoff. In the third Boston Blue episode, this Friday’s “History,” Marisa Ramirez reprised the character again as the romance between Baez and Danny Reagan (Donnie Wahlberg) advances.
The episode starts with Det. Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green), Danny’s new partner, catching him taking a selfie.
“Didn’t take you for the selfie type,” she comments.
“Well, sometimes I make exceptions,” he explains.
“You do? For who?”
“Somebody back in New York.”
To that, Lena gasps. “Somebody special?” she says.
“I think that’s all I’m gonna give you,” Danny responds, grinning. “For now.”
But onscreen, we see Danny is texting the selfie to Baez, of course. “Next Boston date?” he captions the pic.
“Perfect!” Baez texts back. “I pick the hotel this time.”

And at the end of the episode, Baez strides into Danny’s Boston Police Department precinct office in a floral dress.
“Well, hello there, beautiful,” he says.
“Hey,” she replies with a smile. “I shoulda known you’d be working a case.”
“I just punched out, so I am all yours all weekend.”
Baez asks if she can meet Danny’s new partner, but he says she’s “busy right now” as the two of them spy Lena getting cuddly with her partner-turned-date, Det. Brian Rogers (Ryan Broussard).
“Is that her old partner? Did he ask her out?” Baez says.
“Mm-hmm,” Danny replies. “And I think she said yes.”
Danny and Baez step into an elevator, and he says, “Oh, God, I missed you.”
And as the elevator doors close, he pulls her into a romantic embrace.

And a third user wrote, “Danny and Baez! That was every Blue Bloods [fan’s] dream come true.”

Absolutely the worst show on tv; fashion model DA, teenage Chief of Detectives, black father in law, white children, Sunday dinners, police headquarters that look like Morgan/Stanley reception room, All the power people in Boston are related. Who writes this crap. Unwatchable.

Your passion is refreshing. Do you notice any compliments offered to this show are due to its connection to Blue Bloods? Without those frequent reminders in the script this show would really be struggling.It is a very ordinary CBS cop show with a pretty contrived foundation.

Why are you so worked up about this? If you don't like, don't watch it. Just like I don't watch many shows that seem to be universally loved -- like SNL and Abbott Elementary.

Why did Baez not greet or say hello to Sean as she was walking in to the squad room and he was walking out. The same goes for Sean. It stands to reason that she would not know the rest of the crew but Sean & Maria should be well aquainted to each other from New York as Maria was his father's police partner for a good long time. I think she even came to dinner once at the Regan family table for Sunday Dinner.

I thought the exact same thing when I saw it on TV. I am not liking Boston Blue after these first few episodes. Bring back Blue Bloods & their characters...it was much better!!!

Orson Wells VOICE was used on MAGNUM, CBS should consider using Tom Selleck voice talking with Danny or Sean🤔

I really liked Blue Bloods so I was excited to see it continue, in a way, as Boston Blue. I've seen 3 episodes and it seems a little light or somewhat silly. They're continuing family meals but it seems fake. I didn't watch Blue Bloods from the first season so maybe it took awhile to get in the groove. But I don't feel like Boston Blue is being serious about real police work. I'll keep watching but something's missing . . .

I like the program so far but still not liking it’s filmed in Canada. Anybody else catch the reference to his home town Dorchester lol?

I will not be watching anything that has to do with Boston. Thanks to the Canton Police Department and state troopers. It looks like corruption runs rampant in Massachusetts at least in the Boston area.
And I really did enjoy Blue Bloods with Danny and Baez

First of all, we're only three episodes in, so maybe, give the show a chance to develop! Blue Bloods took some time to get going and it had all big name stars! It does seem a bit of a stretch in the family dynamic, but I'm curious as to how it will work? I like the fact that the family is blended and represents a more inclusive bloodline. It's been good so far, and I look forward to the character development and always liked Ramirez hookup idea anyway! They teased it in Blue Bloods, let it rip here!

I love the fact that they ended up having Danny and Baez together finally!! I started watching this show because of Danny Reagan starting a new phase in his life after Blue Bloods. I would love if Baez became part of the show as his girlfriend and eventually his wife🤞🤞🤞🤞
