Heads up: Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 8 is almost here, and the show is coming off a busy hour with suitcases, senators, and side hustles. If you need the quick lowdown (and when to set your DVR), I got you.
When Episode 8 drops
Boston Blue Season 1 Episode 8 airs Friday, December 12, 2025 on CBS. It is a straight-up broadcast premiere, so plan around the time zones:
- Eastern Time: 10 p.m. ET on Dec 12
- Pacific Time: 7 p.m. PT on Dec 12
What went down last week (Episode 7: 'Baggage Claim')
Detective Lena Silver zeroed in on Senator Lowell, who she thinks ties back to an old, unsolved murder of a sex worker. Then a new body turns up: Claire, found stuffed in a suitcase. Lena links Claire to that cold case and pushes after the Senator again. Danny Reagan, doing the voice-of-reason thing, keeps telling her to make moves based on facts, not fury. Their digging pays off with key evidence that points to whoever killed Claire.
Meanwhile: Sean and Jonah take down a drug crew with an assist from Eddie C, a pickpocket who puts his skills to unexpected use. And Sarah teams up with her grandfather to confront a domestic abuser who targeted a cop's sister. Packed episode.
Where to watch
Episode 8 airs on CBS. If you need the refresher: CBS started as a radio network in 1927 and grew into one of the biggest TV broadcasters in the U.S. These days it runs everything from morning shows and late night (CBS Mornings, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) to daytime soaps (The Bold and the Beautiful) and live sports, including major NFL games.
So what exactly is this show?
'Follow NYPD officer Danny Reagan as he takes a position with Boston PD. Once in Boston, he is paired with detective Lena Peters, the eldest daughter of a prominent law enforcement family.'
Small note for the continuity nerds: the official show description calls her Lena Peters, but last episode (and a few others) refer to her as Lena Silver. Either the character changed her name, or someone in the writers room needs a fresh whiteboard. Just flagging it so you do not think you are missing something.
