Another conflict between family and career comes into play as “Blue Bloods” returns on Friday.

As if belonging to a family of cops isn’t complicated enough, Danny now has to contend with a troubled relative.
“Entourage” alum Kevin Dillon has signed up as a guest star to play the role of Danny’s brother-in-law, Jimmy O’Shea.
