[Warning: The following contains MAJOR spoilers for\u00a0Boston Blue<\/a><\/em> Season 1 Episode 10, \u201cHard Truths.\u201d]<\/strong><\/p>\n Marcus Scribner<\/a> sees his Boston Blue<\/em> character<\/a>, Jonah Silver, as a \u201cyounger Danny Reagan,\u201d thanks to his proclivity to leap into action while on the job at the Boston Police Department. When working with his fellow rookie cop, Sean Reagan<\/a> (Mika Amonsen<\/a>), Jonah often feels like \u201cit\u2019s OK for me to go off and do my own thing, but you should follow the rules,\u201d Scribner tells TV Insider. That\u2019s why, when Sean saved Jonah from a murder charge in the Boston Blue\u00a0<\/em>midseason premiere, Jonah wishes he hadn\u2019t put himself in danger.<\/p>\n Boston Blue<\/em> Season 1 Episode 10 debuted on Friday, February 27, on CBS<\/a>, and it revealed a mystery about Ben Silver\u2019s murder that was eventually solved. As it turned out, the man who was in prison for murdering the judge didn\u2019t actually kill him. The real killer was a hitman hired by a powerful man in Boston. That same hitman killed the fake killer, who was recently released from prison, and then tried to kill Jonah. Sean saved him in the nick of time.<\/p>\n Here, Scribner breaks down the episode and explains why he thinks Jonah and Danny have so much in common and explains the different ways in which the Silver siblings are processing their grief. Plus, he teases what it was like to have Blue Bloods<\/a><\/em> star Len Cariou<\/a> on set for an episode later this season<\/a> and have Bridget Moynahan<\/a> direct an episode of the spinoff.<\/p>\n This episode\u2019s a big episode for Jonah. Why does Jonah struggle to see that his sisters are helping<\/strong> him on the case and not treating him like a kid, do you think?<\/strong><\/p>\n Marcus Scribner:<\/strong> When you\u2019re in that deep [in grief] and it\u2019s hard to really reason or see, it feels kind of like it\u2019s only happening to you for some reason, in a weird, selfish way. And of course, his sisters are going through it, but they\u2019re not visually expressing it as deeply as he is. And I think that\u2019s hard for him to deal with. It didn\u2019t happen that long ago. It was within the year of where we\u2019ve picked up [at the beginning of the series], so it\u2019s still very fresh. He\u2019s still angry about it, and he\u2019s misplacing his anger on the people around him, the people who love him, and the people who want to help him because he feels helpless. He\u2019s lost his father. He can\u2019t get that back, but he wants justice, and he feels like people aren\u2019t trying as hard as he is to get it.<\/p>\n Brendan Adam-Zwelling \/ CBS<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Does Jonah trust Sean more after Sean lies about seeing the killer, or does he think that was unwise?<\/strong><\/p>\n Jonah definitely trusts him more after it, but he knows it was unwise. I feel like he\u2019s under the mindset where he\u2019s like, \u201cIt\u2019s OK for me to go off and do my own thing, but you should follow the rules.\u201d That\u2019s the way that he sees the world. And I think he\u2019s unhappy with it for sure, but I think it definitely grows their bond. Sean is really risking it all there for him, and he knows that. He just wishes that he hadn\u2019t.<\/p>\n At the beginning of this episode, does Jonah feel like his sisters don\u2019t understand his grief? If<\/strong> so, why do you think he feels that way?<\/strong><\/p>\n People have different ways of expressing grief, obviously. It takes me a while. For some reason, things hit me weeks after. And I know a lot of people deal with that, where it\u2019ll happen, and you feel almost numb in a weird way. And then you\u2019re like, \u201cWhy am I not feeling what I should feel?\u201d And then all of a sudden, on a random Tuesday, everything hits you, and it comes crashing down, like, \u201cOh, wow, there it is.\u201d<\/p>\n [Jonah] is handling his grief very viscerally. He wants to take action. He knows that he could do something about it, but maybe it\u2019s not the right way to handle things; he\u2019s going to do it anyway. Whereas Lena and Sarah want to go through the judicial process, which is the right way to do things, and he\u2019s not cool with that. Seeing them taking things slow, in his eyes, feels like a lack of passion and a lack of care when really they\u2019re just trying to do things the right way.<\/p>\n Does he ever doubt being in this line of work, knowing firsthand how dangerous it can be?<\/strong><\/p>\n I don\u2019t think so. He is the type of person who is, to help somebody, he\u2019s willing. It\u2019s exemplified in our first episode. He runs into a burning building off duty. He doesn\u2019t really think about that. Obviously, number one goal as an officer, from what I\u2019ve learned, is to get home safely. So he\u2019s not going to go out there guns blazing, jumping around a corner, drinking Jason Statham<\/a> style, but he is willing to do what is necessary to help people. I think that\u2019s his number one goal. He doesn\u2019t want to arrest people, tackle criminals, do whatever. He wants to make sure that people are safe and well, and see a positive example of what a police officer can be. And he wants to prove to himself that he\u2019s more than his name and the legacy that the Silver family offers.<\/p>\n Talking about the Silver family, has his grandfather, Reverend Peters [Ernie Hudson], become a surrogate father for Jonah since his father died, would you say?<\/strong><\/p>\n I think your father is irreplaceable. I think he, in a way, is less of a surrogate father and more of a mentor, someone he can confide in. I think to Jonah, it just still doesn\u2019t feel real. He still feels like he can go home and talk to his dad or call his dad up. The Reverend is stepping up, definitely a positive male role model, I would say. Father figure in a way. You\u2019re definitely right. I don\u2019t want to completely take away from that.<\/p>\n
