Blue Bloods Season 12 Episode 20 synopsis: The return of Joe Hill

The synopsis for the upcoming episode of the crime drama show reveals that Joe Hill (Will Hochman) will return in this episode, joining the Reagan family at the dinner table. He will also assist his uncles Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) and Jamie Reagan (Will Estes) in solving a complicated case involving a trafficked teenage girl.

The official synopsis for the episode reads:

"Danny and Jamie join forces with their nephew, Joe Hill (Will Hochman), when Jamie and Joe’s search for an undocumented, trafficked teenage girl converges with Danny and Baez’s investigation into the murder of a woman in witness protection. Also, Frank and Erin butt heads when Frank calls out the district attorney’s office for instituting a new rule that classifies armed robbery as a misdemeanor, a mandate that has immediate ramifications for Eddie and her partner, on the 12th season finale of the CBS Original series."

One can conclude from the synopsis that Episode 20 will be packed with action. It will feature multiple intersecting plotlines and a very interesting investigation involving Joe Hill. The final episode will also see Pinckney Community High School graduate Margaret (Maggie) Shirk in the guest role of a surgeon. She happens to be a Michigan native just like Tom Selleck.
