Blue Bloods’ Danny Should End Up With Baez (Even Though He Doesn’t Deserve Her)

Maria Baez is Danny Reagan’s best bet for a series-ending romance in Blue Bloods, even though he doesn’t deserve her.
Although Danny is one of Blue Bloods’ best characters, he often caused unnecessary problems in his marriage to Linda during the first seven years of the show because of his hot headness, stubbornness, and over protectiveness.
Linda died off-screen between seasons 7 and 8, and Danny has been grieving the loss ever since, though in season 14 he decided he was ready to date again after realizing he was holding back out of fear of suffering another devastating loss.
Although Danny has not dated anyone significant since Linda’s death, he has worked closely with Maria Baez since season 4, and in recent seasons their interactions have sometimes implied deeper feelings for one another.
Since Blue Bloods only has eight episodes left before it ends permanently, there is little time remaining for Danny to enter a new romantic relationship; however, romance is possible between him and Baez even though she is better than he deserves, considering the way he treated Linda when she was alive
