Warning: SPOILERS ahead for Boston Blue Season 1, Episode 10!
Jonah Silver is determined to do what's right, even if that means going off the beaten path.
In the Boston Blue mid-season premiere, Jonah [ Marcus Scribner] is confronted with his own morals, as he finds himself caught between making sure justice is served, and doing what "he thinks" is right. In an interview with ScreenRant's Liam Crowley ahead of episode 10, Scribner shares how he's quietly becoming Danny Reagan's [ Donnie Wahlberg] replacement.
I think it's daunting, and it's something that Jonah doesn't deal with very well. He's got a very strong sense of justice, or his version of justice — of what he thinks is right. And I think he's generally a very chill guy. He's very passionate about things, he goes about things procedurally. But, he's starting to get a bit of Danny Reagan in him, where he's going off the beaten path to pursue what he thinks is right.
The show left viewers on a cliffhanger, making it look as if Jonah killed Ronan Flaherty [Jack Murray], the man who went to prison for killing his father. Ronan is released on a technicality, and Danny jumps into action, but the internal struggle for Jonah continues, as he battles between what's right and what's lawful. Dealing with grief — and anger — Jonah confronts his father's killer, putting family bonds to the test, and leaving the young Silver in a position where he ultimately feels "powerless."
I mean, as an audience member, and even myself reading the script, I was like, "Go Jonah! Go do your thing." But obviously, there's procedures to these things, and he's not quite handling things in the right way. It's very indicative of his character, and who he is. He's somebody who's going to ignore what he's being told if he doesn't think it's the right thing to do. He doesn't even see this as powerlessness, because he's like, "I'm just not going to do what you're telling me to do." And it might be entitlement, honestly, because he comes from Boston royalty, as far as being a part of the BPD, with his father being a judge, his mom being D.A. He doesn't deal with powerlessness well, at all.
As for what fans can expect in the back half of the season, Scribner told ScreenRant that the way Jonah handles the situation with Ronan is "very indicative of his personality going forward."
He's very hotheaded. He very much will jump into action if he thinks that something needs to be handled, whether he's in the right or he's in the wrong. If he thinks it's the right way to do it, he's going to do it. There's relationships developing. There's family conflict and dynamics. Obviously, he wants to prove himself, coming from such a family, he wants to prove that he is a good cop, and that he can do the right thing. He's not just his name. So, I think proving himself is definitely going to be a big factor in everything he does moving forward.
"There's some crazy, crazy storylines and set pieces that I'm excited for people to see," Scribner added.
