"That was the hardest part to decide, and we've gone back and forth from doing it right away, from doing it in the first episode to doing it in the season finale. And there is still going to be layers to it, because technically, Danny's accepting of the Boston badge over the New York shield, there's still a process to leave New York, which means he has to retire officially from New York."
""It's a very intense situation, and Danny jumps into action, knowing that Lena ( Sonequa Martin-Green) won't be able to help because it'll be a conflict," Wahlberg continues. "And so, he's jumping in and realizes if I have to be there for my family, my new family, it's going to take me to be a Boston cop to do it. And so, he makes the commitment and makes the change, and shows how committed he is.""
Danny Reagan officially leaves the NYPD to accept a Boston PD badge and become lead detective on the investigation into whether Jonah Silver shot Ronan Flaherty. The timing of the move was debated and involves a formal retirement process from New York. The case creates a conflict for Lena, preventing her involvement, and prompts Danny to relocate so he can be present for his new family. The decision demonstrates Danny's commitment to his new role and responsibilities. The move also places pressure on his relationship with Maria Baez, with her potential return teased in upcoming episodes.
