Long Island is protecting Connecticut from New Jersey.

At least I knew the borough thing was all wrong

Ahh, gotcha. Your version of the tri-state area would make sense for people from South Jersey, were they have a lot of interaction with Philadelphia. Honestly the phrase is very relative, but in terms of the show they probably mean NY/NJ/CT.

As someone who grew up in PA (Philly side), I consider the tri-state area to be PA/NJ/DE. Whenever you watched the local news, that would be the regions highlighted as well. But I agree, it is going to be relative to where you are located.
