Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green) learned the truth about her biological father and nearly met him in the Friday, May 1, episode of Boston Blue. The mystery of her absent dad has been teased all season long, and the truth came out when Edwin (Ernie Hudson) urged Mae (Gloria Reuben) to tell Lena everything before he went into surgery. But the truth came with unexpected details that changed everything. Here, Reuben explains the big twist and teases what’s next. Warning: Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 17 spoilers ahead.
Dexter legend Erik King made a surprise debut as Chris Williams in the episode (Blue Bloods star Bridget Moynahan also returned as Erin Reagan). Chris, whose full name is Christmas (named after a famous Bostonian from the Revolutionary War), was one of Mae’s first loves, but he was involved in criminal activity that landed him in jail. Two weeks after his arrest, Mae found out she was pregnant with Lena. She told Lena that Chris never knew about their daughter. King’s first scene, set in Mae’s Boston home, revealed that this was only true for a time. Eventually, he found out and wanted to be in Lena’s life, but Mae wouldn’t allow it. The reasons for that are still to be revealed. Chris has been watching Lena grow up from afar all this time.
