“Blue Bloods” Season 8, Episode 15, “Legacy” sees Nicky take on a new job without using the “Reagan” last name because she wants to show she can get far in life without relying on being a Reagan. Her new boss invites her over to his apartment (she refuses to go in) and attempts to kiss her at the office. She winds up walking out with several other women following suit, and many fans thought it was a great episode that showed how women need solidarity to stand up to creeps like Nicky’s boss.
Around the time “Legacy” came out in 2018, Stop Street Harassment released a study finding that 81% of women experienced sexual harassment of some variation. Sadly, this makes the subject matter of the episode depressingly relevant, but many women thought the show portrayed Nicky well under the circumstances. @AndorianIP wrote on Twitter, “GO NICKI! course she shoulda kneed him in the groin! #bluebloods and then quit! and then reported him!” Meanwhile, @MaryKirkLowe1 offered praise for the episode at large, “What a brave woman Nikki..you showed those other women they don’t have to be treated like that for a job..#BlueBloods great show tonight.”
It’s only natural for Sami Gayle to feel nervous about pursuing such a sensitive matter, but it seems like her and the “Blue Bloods” team portrayed it well on screen. If even one woman watching it felt less alone, then it was worth doing.
