In a recent episode of “Blue Bloods,” the show paid tribute to the late actor Treat Williams by bidding farewell to his character Lenny Ross. Lenny Ross, portrayed by Treat Williams, was a close friend of Frank Reagan (played by Tom Selleck).

The episode delved deeply into Frank Reagan’s struggle with how to properly honor his dear friend. Frank ultimately decided to support Lenny’s daughter, Tess, by introducing her to a defense attorney who could assist her with her legal matters. This act of kindness and support was Frank’s way of keeping Lenny’s memory alive and helping his family in their time of need.
Throughout the episode, the emotional weight of losing a friend was poignantly depicted, showcasing the strong bond between Frank and Lenny. The episode culminated in a touching scene where Frank’s family gathered for dinner, sharing stories and reminiscing about Lenny Ross. This scene beautifully captured the sense of loss and the importance of remembering loved ones who have passed away.
The tribute to Treat Williams was a fitting and respectful way to honor the actor’s legacy, both on and off the screen. It highlighted the impact he had on his colleagues and fans, as well as the enduring memory of his character in the show.
