The Rookie is back tonight with season 7, episode 3, titled "Out of Pocket." It will be a dangerous mission for Officer Nolan as he investigates the whereabouts of one of the escaped convicts. The criminal at large has a personal connection with the seasoned LAPD cop, and as such, Nolan is determined to get him off the streets before he destroys lives.
To clarify, Nolan's wife, Bailey, is returning, following Jenna Dewan's maternity leave. The convict that her husband's after is her ex-husband, and it wasn't a good marriage, as he was abusive and a felon. It's a horrible situation for anyone to be and the storyline hits home for many.
With that in mind, let's see what else is up on The Rookie tonight!
Previewing The Rookie season 7, episode 3, "Out of Pocket"
Last week, we discovered that the new rookies had well-guarded secrets that Tim and Lucy cracked. Seth revealed that he has an illness that has caused him to perform poorly in his officer training. Meanwhile, Miles was basically homeless and living in his car. Apparently, living in your vehicle is illegal in Los Angeles, and Tim makes a very argumentative point about the situation. Luckily, Miles secured a home, and while it might not be the fanciest place, it'll do for now.
Will things look brighter for Miles and Seth tonight, or will the spiral continue? Having the issues these men have will place stress on anybody, and when you add in police training, that requires a lot of mental and emotional building blocks in the game, the personal problems intermingle with work, and that makes them even more challenging.
Prior to the the airing of "Out of Pocket," ABC released the synopsis, which further elaborate the episode.
"Ahead of Bailey’s return home, John looks for clues to locate Jason Wyler. Then, Tim and Lucy swap rookies; a friendly face resurfaces at the station, and Wesley feels unsettled over Angela."
.The teaser looks very promising on the Chenford side of the story. Tim and Lucy continue their sizzling angst, with the latter denying that she wants to be in a relationship right now. We also get the first appearance of Bailey's long-awaited comeback, but the reunion between her and Nolan might not be joyous, given that he's on the track for the escaped con, Jason.
