    Question of honor

    Although both SVU and Law And Order prime had episodes involving sex crimes on college campuses, I did like this Blue Bloods episode and how it was handled here. Again as in the other stories the issue is how the colleges deal with it when the victim decides to pursue things internally. The victim Alexandra Socha is a friend of Sammi Gayle's and she sees Bridget Moynahan privately three months after the incident happened. That in itself makes it hard to deal with from a law enforcement perspective.

    Donnie Wahlberg and partner Marissa Ramirez face a crisis of conscience. Watching this part of the story I remember the movie Fort Apache and how John Wayne tells his commanding officer Henry Fonda that his word even to a 'breech clothed savage' means something to him. It does get handled a bit differently here, this question of honor.

    I liked both ends of this Blue Bloods story.
