Reverend Edwin Peters (Ernie Hudson) saved the day in Boston Blue‘s return on Friday, April 3. The episode made a bit of an action hero of the 80-year-old Ghostbusters star, and powerful scenes with onscreen daughter Gloria Reuben made it Hudson’s biggest episode of the Blue Bloods spinoff so far. Peters family secrets came to light in Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 13, “Beautiful, Broken Things.” Warning: Spoilers for Boston Blue ahead.

A visit from Mae’s (Reuben) sister, Jill (Holly Robinson Peete), inadvertently led to the truth about the nature of their mother’s death being revealed. Edwin revealed earlier this season that his wife died by suicide when their daughters were young. All this time, Mae believed that her mom had died in a car accident when she was hit by a drunk driver. Episode 13 revealed that it was suicide, and even more tragically, that it was Jill who found her.
