‘Blue Bloods’: An Offer for Erin & Frank’s Mission in Season 13 Premiere (PHOTOS)

Look who’s coming to family dinner! The Reagans have another special guest for the weekly gathering that rarely includes non-Reagans in the Blue Bloods Season 13 premiere: Archbishop Kearns (Stacy Keach).

That coveted invite is going to come as “Keeping the Faith” sees him and Frank (Tom Selleck) go on a mission to avail themselves to an unfiltered look at the city. The logline for the premiere also reveals that Erin (Bridget Moynahan) receives a surprising offer from her ex-husband, Jack Boyle (Peter Hermann), regarding her run for District Attorney. Is that what we’re seeing in the photo above? But as more images from the premiere show, it won’t be strictly business for the two.

As for the police work in the premiere, the job takes a dangerous turn for the Reagans when Jamie (Will Estes) and Eddie (Vanessa Ray) deal with a domestic violence case associated with an investigation led by Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Baez (Marisa Ramirez). If the family dinner takes place at the end of the episode, we don’t have to worry about Danny, Jamie, and Eddie, given that they’re all pictured. (Plus, Danny’s smiling, so Baez has to be safe as well.) But if it’s at any other point, just how dangerous might this case get?

Scroll down for a look at “Keeping the Faith,” including Will Hochman back as Joe Hill, the family dinner, and more.

    Thank you, Blue Bloods, for bringing back Stacy Kerch as Archbishop Kearny. he is a great actor and really adds to the issues presented to Frank.

      Carole Clarke  Stacy Keach played one of the Wright brothers decades ago. Lord, we were all young then...

    Love that Jack is appearing.  He and Erin still have chemistry! Nice to see Joe back as well.  Now we need to see Nickie and Jack (college) all at the dinner table as well!

    Super excited about the new season! It’s my all time favorite show.  How about an episode or two with Sean doing something besides just family dinner??

    I love the show and the entire cast. Can't wait for the upcoming season. I watch all the reruns too.

    It’s a woman thing…

    But I think it’s past time for Erin to get a new hair style. She’s really outgrown the college hair cut.

    For once, I'd like to see Frank wear just a suit jacket and pants.  I know he idolizes Teddy Roosevelt, but does he have to dress like him??

      Either that or lose about 30 pounds so his belly doesn’t seem to be bursting from his vest.

        FRANK LOOKS WONDERFUL IN HIS VESTED 3 PC. SUIT.    HE LOOKS VERY DIGNIFIED AND HAS A VERY REFINED CHARACTER PORTRAYAL.

        PLEASE DO NOT JUDGE PEOPLE ON THEIR WEIGHT.  ITS OFFENSIVE!!

          Allison Williams

          Just get a suit that fits.

          Please don't SHOUT.

          and remember some of us remember him in a Hawaiian shirt and cut off jeans so it is a bit of a struggle to see him stuffed into a three piece suit
