A new bad boy is in town The Rookie season 7, episode 7, titled "The Mickey."

In addition to his flirting with the law, Mickey also appeals to the women officers of the LAPD, and it might distract them from doing their jobs accordingly. It'll be challenging, but like with the handling of all the criminals who crossed paths with the LAPD, the officers will get the job done for the city's protection.

More so, after the incredible and much-needed Chenford hook-up in The Rookie season 7, episode 6, "The Gala," it gave the fans the push for more Tim and Lucy, and could the plotline be a foreshadowing of the couple patching things up to renew their relationship? One could only hope.

While relationships are near the center of the exciting ABC drama, crime is first and foremost. There have been some interesting developments, but I'd be lying if they didn't stream into the officers' personal lives and cause some chaos.

Officer Nolan and his wife Bailey hit a speedbump in their marriage when she went behind his back while trying to pursue her fugitive ex-husband in her own hands. The ordeal landed Bailey in the hospital, and Nolan debated whether he could trust her again.

It appears that that will be issue in "The Mickey," and it's going to require some hard personal therapy to get past it.

What to expect in The Rookie season 7, episode 7, "The Mickey"

"The Mickey" will finally introduce us to Ricky Whittle's character, Mickey, whose good looks and charm could be a cover-up to his nefarious activities. Of course, that doesn't stop Celina from taking a peek.

In another plotline, Seth is given an extra chance to prove himself as an officer, seeing how his training wasn't up to the standards, and he was about to be discharged. When his cancer returned, Lucy had a change of heart and gave the young officer another chance, even if he didn't know about his near-firing from the force.

Check out the synopsis and the promotional clip from The Rookie season 7, episode 7 below!

"On Celina’s last day as a rookie, John gives her one final test. Meanwhile, Bailey makes a new friend, and Lucy places her faith in Seth for an undercover assignment."
