A more natural danger spreads in The Rookie season 7 episode 8, "Wildfire," and it's only a matter of time before the LAPD and the LAFD can take it out before the inevitable happens. Let's take a look if the first responders will be able to control the pressures.

In The Rookie season 7, episode 7, "The Mickey," Nolan and Eric Bradford have placed two criminals under their custody. During the process, the two seasoned officers exchanged a few words, and we learned that Chenford had more to do with Nolan and Bailey's nuptials. Tim might have lost Lucy (hopefully not), but he doesn't want the same for his friend and co-worker.

Bailey comes to terms with the fact that she was a victim of emotional domestic violence, and it took her years to accept her dilemma. She'll still have the trauma, but she's in a better position now with her husband entirely understanding her. It's difficult for people to come forward with their experiences, so having a partner who values their spouse and empathizes with them is a blessing

Here's what to expect in The Rookie season 7, episode 8, "Wildfire"

In The Rookie season 7, episode 8, "Wildfire," the police handle two major conflicts. The first one is being on the hunt for a serial killer who has been terrorizing Los Angeles. LA is not void of heavy dangerous crime, like most major cities, but if one more criminal is off the streets, it's better for the public.

Nyla wants to be the officer who takes down the killer, as she should, because it'll give her a strong screen presence. Most of her storylines this season were marital-based, and incorporating a strong character arc will distract from it.

In the second issue, a wildfire ravishes, which only adds to the stress. Additionally, the storyline hits on a personal level as in January of this year, Los Angeles experienced the Wildfire Disaster, its worst in history. The city is still financially and structurally recuperating after the losses.

Although "Wildfire" was written and filmed months before the actual fires, it wouldn't be surprising if the audience compared and contrasted the episode to the real-life events. As such, I'll be applying this mantra when watching the piece tonight.

ABC released both the promo and synopsis for "Wildfire" below.

"Nyla remains suspicious of Liam Glasser as a wildfire erupts, causing chaos in the city. Meanwhile, James tries to help a friend, and Seth makes a costly mistake, putting two of their own in danger. "
