The episode also has to juggle several storylines, such as Frank's clash with the mayor, Erin's own battles against the district attorney, and Danny's unexpected partnership with a British investigator.

Tom Selleck - New York City Police Commissioner Francis "Frank" Reagan

Frank refuses to accept Mayor Chase's request to drop charges against an ex-cop (Lieutenant Cooper) who was heavily involved in a brutal fistfight at a local bar.
He believes that it was wrong for the mayor to intervene, mainly because it unravels a corrupt system that could grow even further if no one else speaks up.
Frank gives a brief yet empowering line to the mayor, saying, "Loyalty is one thing, but proximity to power shouldn't be a get-out-of-jail-free-card."
Selleck is best known for his roles in Magnum P.I., In & Out, and Three Men and a Baby.
