Recap

Detailed recap of the episode which contains MAJOR SPOILERS.
The newly-appointed FDNY commissioner (Mira Sorvino) is furious when Mayor Chase does not attend the funeral of a firefighter in favor of a rally for migrants suspected of causing the fire. Frank tries to play mediator to no avail, but things escalate when Garrett receives intel that the mayor is planning to fire the commissioner outright rather than allow her to resign. Meanwhile, Erin is blindsided upon learning that Henry has agreed to testify for the defense attorney (which he is usually against) in a harassment case where the defendant is a former cop with a bad reputation and attitude. Henry does not tell Erin beforehand about his testimony, which serves to rightfully convict the former officer. Also, Danny and Baez investigate when human remains are found in a storage unit, soon realizing a serial killer is on the loose. Their initial suspect, a man with special needs that had the storage unit registered in his name, has been taken advantage of by his mother who had killed many women who felt uneasy with the man's attempts to befriend them. Elsewhere, Eddie and Badillo arrest a protester after he stomps on Badillo's hand and inadvertently causes a bicycle crash, but later discover he is set to donate his kidney to his girlfriend, the daughter of a former cop that used his influence to cut the man loose. When the man shows signs of backing out due to fear, Badillo uses reverse psychology to convince the man not to turn his back on his girlfriend.
