Danny's son Sean suffers a head injury while biking with Erin, Nicky, and Jack. He is taken to the hospital unconscious and the family is told it will take time for him to wake up. The timing couldn't be worse for Danny, as it happens while he is in the midst of investigating a sniper (Paul Anthony Stewart) who is shooting motorists that drive gas guzzlers. His ammunition consists of lead alternatives and he leaves trash from a green market at the crime scene. Danny and Kate track down the head of an environmental movement (Neal Huff), who points the finger at an ex-military sniper he believes committed the crime. Interspersed within the initial investigation, Danny visits Sean in the hospital and prays to his deceased brother Joe to intervene and help Sean recover. Danny leaves and he and Kate find the accused sniper dead from an apparent suicide. Danny notices the man appeared to have shot himself with his right hand, despite it being a recorded fact that he was left-handed. He was hence murdered and Danny comes to the conclusion that the environmental chief set them up. Realizing that his time is up, the environmental chief tries to flee from Danny on his bike, but is hit by an SUV (ironically, the same type of car that the sniper would have targeted) and incurs a broken leg, allowing him to be caught. Back at the hospital, Sean wakes up with Danny and Frank nearby. Danny then visits Joe's grave and says, "Thanks, kiddo."

Jamie must deal with the emotional consequences of his actions on the job, after he shoots and kills a man posing a potential threat to a park's neighborhood. The fatal shooting was the man's suicide by cop, revealing that he was of unstable mind and hiding a dark secret from his past. In order to deal with the aftermath of the shooting, Jamie must attend a trauma debriefing by NYPD psychologist Dr. Grace Meherin (Annabella Sciorra). Danny investigates the suicide in order to help Jamie overcome his trauma. Meanwhile, Erin questions Mayor Poole on the witness stand regarding an embezzling case involving his campaign consultant. At the family dinner, Frank reveals that Erin would be able to know if the mayor was bluffing if he scratches the back of his head, as Frank has seen this "tell" in poker games with the mayor. The Mayor continuously avoids being questioned on the stand, alerting Erin to the fact that he may not wish to lie under oath. Following the conclusion of the trial with the mayor's employee pleading guilty to the charges, Erin questions Mayor Poole, asking him if he had lied about withholding evidence. To this he replied 'no,' but after walking away scratches his head, revealing that he did lie to Erin. Later, Frank, Danny and Jamie sit around the kitchen table, contemplating the fact that they are all in the 10 percent of the 5 percent of police officers who discharge their weapons that end up killing someone — a group Frank says, 'that no one wishes to be in.'
56	12	"Framed"	David M. Barrett	Daniel Truly	January 18, 2013 (2013-01-18)	312	11.64^[16]
Linda asks Danny to obtain a chocolate cheesecake for the upcoming Sunday dinner from Wojcik's, a Polish bakery he used to visit as a child. At the precinct, Danny informs Sergeant Gormley that numerous assault victims in a case he and Kate are investigating had been using the same bookie, who was issuing warnings to pay outstanding debts. Kate adds that a black book the bookie uses to record all of his dealings would give them the break they need. Danny asks ADA Saul Ward (Thom Barry) for a search warrant for the black book. After work, Danny arrives at Wojcik's past its closing time, as the bakery's owner (Michael Kostroff) is cleaning the store. Danny reminds the owner of the Reagans' connection to the bakery, and the order gets placed. While Danny is driving home, he is pulled over by a police officer, saying his car matched a description of a vehicle involved in a drug deal. Danny is taken into custody when two kilograms of cocaine are found in the back of his Jeep. At home, Frank tells Linda that it is imperative that the Reagan family stay out of this case, as any involvement may jeopardize both Danny and their reputations. Henry secretly asks Erin's ex-husband Jack (Peter Hermann) to represent Danny in his internal affairs jam. At the precinct, Danny gets interviewed by IAB Investigator Captain Derek Elwood (Nestor Serrano), who doubts his version of events. Jamie confronts Mr. Wojcik, knowing that Danny's car was stopped after leaving there, but Wojcik nervously denies understanding anything. Meanwhile, Danny's off-duty weapon is stolen from his house and matches the ballistics involved in the bookie shooting. Danny initially suspects Kate after seeing her talking to Elwood and learns that she once worked for IAB. Frank asks DCPI Moore to dig into Elwood's background. Garrett infers to Kate that "one of our own" is setting up Danny. After the elusive black book is found, it is discovered that Captain Elwood owed a lot of money to the bookie. Danny is then exonerated from all of the charges, as Kate tells him that she's returning to IAB. At Sunday dinner, Linda asks whether or not Frank helped Danny out in any way. He, Henry and Jamie all humorously reject any involvement.

Danny and his new partner Candice "Mac" McElroy (Megan Boone), an 86th Infantry war veteran, investigate a man being dumped out of a cab after a rat is found gnawing on him. Meanwhile, Erin is asked by society "goddess" Sophia Franza (Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) to head a cancer charity during a fund-raiser that is soon overcome with rats. The two instances become linked as Jamie learns the rats were deliberately released by the cab victim, who confesses to have made a deal with Franza. Meanwhile, bigoted radio show host Curtis Swint (Mark Moses) is in town to make a speech, and wishes to meet with Frank to get his support on the First Amendment's freedom of speech issue. Swint condemns New York City's diverse citizens and assumes Frank would be supportive because he is white. He asks Frank to ensure security at his upcoming speech at a Manhattan theater. Frank says he supports Swint's right to speak, but in response, makes sure Swint's security detail is entirely composed of non-white police officers led by a large African American male sergeant.
58	14	"Men in Black"	Alex Chapple	Teleplay by : Ish Goldstein & Ian Biederman Story by : Ish Goldstein	February 8, 2013 (2013-02-08)	314	11.24^[18]
Solomon (David Margulies), the Grand Rebbe of the Morganthal family, is on his deathbed. He confides to his friend Henry that he is breaking with Hasidic tradition in asking younger son Levi (Yuval Boirn) to be the head of the family, as Levi is the most ready. Custom states the role should fall to elder son Jacob (Stephen Kunken). However, Levi is fatally stabbed shortly afterwards. Henry asks Danny to solve the case and fellow Hasidic Detective Wolf Landsman (Luke Kirby) assists Danny on the case since the people don't allow outsiders in the community. Levi's widow Rivka (Melissa Errico) offers no clues nor help on the case, as she is protected by Asher Lefko (Darren Goldstein). It is revealed that Levi had a mistress, Karen Waters (Susan Misner) and that Rivka wanted a divorce. Evidence leads Danny to believe Asher is the killer. They arrest Rivka to trick Asher into confessing. Meanwhile, Henry reveals to Frank that he had a brother who had died of leukemia after only 18 months. Frank's parents kept the secret from him all his life, but Frank had learned his brother's name, Peter Christopher, even if he waited for the truth from Henry. Henry then gives Frank a photo of Peter. Also in this episode, the former mayor pays Frank a visit after his spoiled daughter Rebecca and her friend get arrested by Jamie and Vinny for smoking marijuana in the park. Rebecca's disrespectful attitude continues in court (since she believes her father will help her out of it), but he tells the court that she needs to learn to have some respect for the law, and Judge Angioli sentenced her to pay a $500 fine and perform 1000 hours of community service at a rehab center. Note: Cameo appearance by Fyvush Finkel as a shtreimel maker.

Danny investigates the shooting of 10-year-old Devon (Christopher Martinez) in a building filled with drug dealers and gang members. Letitia (Victoria Cartagena), Devon's mother, gives him the name of Tiny Martinez, who later admits the "hit" was intended for Letitia. When she later wonders who would want her dead, Danny asks about Devon's father. She mentions Daryl being angry that he lost custody of Devon but is in prison for manslaughter. Danny learns Daryl had been released a week prior to the shooting. He then receives a call that Daryl has just taken Devon from the hospital. Danny and Sgt. Gormley deduce that father and son are about to leave town by bus. Eventually, Daryl hands the gun and his son over to Danny. Concurrently, Danny's reaction to a 10-year old getting shot lands him in anger management classes. Meanwhile, Garrett and an uncomfortable Frank attend a charity banquet. There, Frank meets Turkish musician Isabelle Nasser (Sheetal Sheth), who informs him that she cannot return to her native country. Isabelle has had sex with an American conductor, thus disgracing her family who will have her killed. Frank is told to turn her over to the State Department and stay out of it. The State Department, citing no hard evidence to support Isabelle's claims, orders that she must return to Turkey. Ultimately, Frank uses his connections to get Isabelle a job with the New York Philharmonic. The work visa allows her to remain in the United States.

A basketball game gets ugly as a fight breaks out, forcing Danny to arrest a friend who punched an opposing player for pushing him around and calling him "fat". Jamie later learns the assaulted man, a friend of his from law school, has hired an "ambulance chaser" and instigated the fight in order to get money. Frank is interviewed by a TV reporter who brings up a condemning quote about him that is revealed to have come from a colleague. When Garrett admits to making the statement back before he really knew Frank, he tries to get it edited out even though Frank is okay with it being aired. Erin is approached by Nathan Anderson, who hopes she can solve his murdered daughter Jenny's cold case from 1998. Nathan strongly feels his daughter's boyfriend Richard Roark, a very rich and powerful man, should be the prime suspect. Erin enlists Danny's help. Nathan gives them Jenny's necklace which has blood on it. The blood sample was too small to test in 1998, but Danny states that DNA testing has advanced greatly in the last 15 years and has it tested again. The lab work leads the detectives to Richard's father, Preston. Richard confronts his father, assuming he killed her because he thought Jenny wasn't good enough for his son.

Danny and Maria investigate a string of shooting murders that appear to be random, and try to find a connection. Their investigation leads them to suspect a prosecutor, who is mentor and colleague of Erin's, when it is revealed that all of the shooting victims beat previous murder raps or served very short sentences. Jamie tries to figure out why a young boy ran to him in the street for protection, and discovers the boy comes from a troubled household. Meanwhile, Frank meets up with long-time friend Col. Peter Seabrook, a former astronaut, and learns his friend has not been forthcoming and may have a serious drinking problem as well as being divorced from his wife.

Erin's excitement over being named Deputy Trial Bureau Chief is tempered when she learns that the Chief of the Manhattan District Attorney's Trial Bureau Amanda Harris (Amy Morton) who gave her the promotion had ignored video evidence in a previous rape case that might have exonerated the suspect. Danny and Maria witness a shooting in a drug-deal-gone-bad that kills one person and badly wounds another. Danny goes to the hospital needing "30 seconds" to get the name of the shooter from the wounded man as he is being rushed into surgery, but Linda refuses to violate hospital procedure and tells Danny he must wait until the man is out of surgery. After the victim dies on the operating table and the shooter takes another life, Danny appears to blame Linda, leading to a heated argument at home. The shooter, Tommy Banks, is eventually arrested, but not before he fights with Danny, causing considerable injuries. Meanwhile, Jamie helps Sean build a soap box derby car to compete in an annual race, with a grudge against a rival family of FDNY firefighters, the Bonniellos, that goes back four generations at stake. After Frank discovers Henry tinkering with the car, and learns that maybe all of the Reagan victories against the rival family may be tainted, he and Jamie take measures to relevel the playing field.
65	21	"Devil's Breath"	Alex Chapple	Siobhan Byrne-O'Connor	April 26, 2013 (2013-04-26)	321	10.46^[25]
Danny and Maria investigate the strange case of a man found outside a hotel covered in blood, which turns out to be the blood from his murdered girlfriend. The man has no recollection of the events from the previous night, starting from having a drink in the hotel bar, and his blood work confirms that he was under the influence of a drug called "devil's breath". Concurrently, while off-duty, Officer Peter Grasso, who had just left a retirement party, foils an armed robbery-in-progress without any shots being fired. When Jamie smells alcohol on the officer's breath, he tries to help the man cover up the fact that he had been drinking, but the two are caught by Jamie's commanding officer. Meanwhile, Nicky faces suspension from school when she is found to be organizing a protest against random locker searches, and Erin intervenes. Frank decides to disregard the recommendation to fire Officer Grasso after his hearing, and gives him a 30 day suspension and one year of probation.

Vinny and Jamie answer a call that leads them to the Bitterman housing project, where Vinny grew up and which the locals call "The Bitter End". A young woman who wants out of gang life commits suicide in front of Jamie and Vinny, killing herself and her infant son. Danny blames himself for her suicide because he had made a promise to her and her sister in the wake of their parents' deaths almost 13 years earlier that he would protect them. Meanwhile, Santana (Kamar de los Reyes), leader of the Los Lordes gang that terrorizes The Bitter End, declares war on the department, later killing Vinny in an ambush attack. Concurrently, Frank butts heads with Erin and the D.A. over their unofficial policy of dropping cases involving residents of the Bitterman project when witnesses choose not to testify. (Part 1 of 2)
67	23	"This Way Out"	Peter Werner	Kevin Wade	May 10, 2013 (2013-05-10)	323	10.30^[27]
In the aftermath of Vinny's murder, Mayor Poole holds a town hall meeting at the Bitterman Projects. The meeting doesn't go well, with multiple people criticizing the NYPD's failure to provide adequate policing in the projects. When Poole takes the microphone and tries to pacify the crowd, he is shot and critically wounded by Hector, a mentally retarded resident of the projects. Grace Newhouse takes over as acting mayor while Poole is recovering in the hospital. Newhouse threatens Frank's job unless he cleans up the Bitterman Projects. Jamie believes Hector is being badly treated by the interviewing detectives and/or other police officers, and takes his complaint to Frank. Jamie, using information from Hector's father on how he thinks, is able to get Hector to reveal that the people who gave him the gun were Los Lordes gang members, who told him it was just a toy, and that firing it would be seen as a harmless prank. Nona, Santana's girlfriend is arrested with his drugs, so to try and cover his tracks he orders a hit on her in prison. This attempt fails, and Danny persuades her to testify against him. With the necessary evidence and warrants now in hand, Frank organizes raids on the Bitterman Projects where Santana and over 40 members of the Los Lordes gang are arrested. The season finishes with Linda asking the entire family to take a beach vacation on Long Island, which they all agree to attend. (Part 2 of 2)
