The family dinner scenes on "Blue Bloods" have become crucial for the Reagan family to check in with one another amidst their busy lives. The dinners serve two purposes, either discussing work problems for a new perspective or providing a lighter moment in dramatic episodes. In Season 6, Episode 11, titled "Back in the Day," the family discusses their favorite cop movies. Despite the serious events happening, this lighthearted conversation helps relieve tension and ends with a touching moment between the grandkids and Henry.
