We don't see him for a few episodes, and then he pops up, and then he's gone again. "Joe doesn't offer anything to the show," u/mal0980 said. Responses to the post were mixed, but some commenters were supportive of the user's harsh words. This becomes a major point of contention for the family when Joe Hill suddenly reappears unannounced in the two-part Season 11 finale. While most members of the Reagan clan are kept in the dark about his mission, Frank and Jamie (Will Estes) are kept up to speed. He appears in the first three episodes of the season before suddenly departing for an undercover operation with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF). After his debut as the character, Hochman returned to the role over the course of five episodes in Season 11, per his IMDb profile.
#BLUE BLOODS SEASON FINALE SERIES#
While Joe Hill (Will Hochman) is welcomed to his first Reagan family dinner in the Season 10 finale, the actor has not become a series regular and only appears intermittently.
Unsurprisingly, his son, also named Joe, has followed in the Reagan family tradition and is now a highly decorated New York City detective. These pivotal events occur before the first episode of Season 1, when we learn Joseph is already dead. One of the biggest surprises in "Blue Bloods" history came in the Season 10 finale when Joseph Reagan, the late son of New York City Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck), is revealed to have unknowingly conceived a child before his death.
