‘Blue Bloods’ Season 9 Episode 3 Latest Spoilers: Frank Raises ‘Code Red’ Alert; Danny Deals with Suicidal Homicide Suspect

Police Commissioner Frank Reagan (Tom Selleck) will raise the “code red” alert on “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3. Meanwhile, Danny (Donnie Wahlberg) will be working on a tricky case with a suicidal woman who is also the prime suspect in a homicide case.

The official title for “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3, “Mind Games,” could have something to do with Danny’s upcoming homicide case. According to the synopsis for next week’s installment, he will be investigating the untimely death of a man.

Nothing much is revealed about Danny’s upcoming case. But teasers for “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3 say the suspect is the victim's wife, who insists she shot her husband while she was drunk. In the brief preview for the next episode, the suspect is seen standing on the edge of a building. She prepares to jump while she cries about killing her husband.

In another snippet featured in the “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3 trailer, Danny is visibly frustrated while saying that “something’s not right” about the pieces of evidence he has. All these clues already hint at an unexpected twist to this homicide case.

Danny reportedly believes that there is more to the story than what the grieving wife claims. Does this mean they should be looking for a different angle and another suspect? This is, for sure, one of the puzzles to be solved in “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3.

Meanwhile, Frank is also featured in most of the “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3 preview. One of his men tells him that “code red” alert is in effect. Then the situation seems very serious when even Frank needs to confirm his identity through a palm print authentication.

However, the “Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3 synopsis clarifies that all these commotions are just part of Frank’s “emergency drill for his inner circle.” The precautionary exercise will likely lead to the unveiling of a top-secret facility. Frank and his staff are seen entering a place he describes as their only refuge “once everywhere else is a no-go.”

“Blue Bloods” season 9 episode 3 will also give a glimpse of how Jamie (Will Estes) and Janko (Vanessa Ray) adjust to their “changing work-life dynamic.” “Mind Games” will air on Friday, Oct. 12, at 10 p.m. ET on CBS.
