Couldn’t see the return of Monica Stevens coming that not only closes out Season 7 but also opens a new problem to deal with going into Season 8.

We’ll have to wait and find out in early 2026 then…

Miles’ date gone wrong while mentioning a bit about Lucy to Bradford 

First of all, Miles, Miles, Miles – don’t talk about Bradford’s private life with the newest Sgt. Lucy ever.

Thank god he’s okay when Lucy and the “Dream Team” night shift officers (acting bored on her first night shift out) saved him from being kidnapped & potentially killed by that mob group, who clearly hates the LAPD and also has deeper ties with his ill-fated date Rina. 

That piece of “7” jewellery she wore he discovered while chatting to Rina called Celina right away at the back of house kitchen – looks like luck didn’t go his way with a group of mob guys out there waiting to kidnap him onto the trunk. 

Don’t forget that Rena also has a criminal record too. 

But again, don’t mess with Bradford & Lucy, Miles – they’re having a difficult time sorting their own busy lives. So leave it alone as double punishment for you.

Another catfish scam to husband by the wife???

While Miles and Bradford caught the husband Julius robbing the bank with $$$ in order to fund his online girlfriend’s heart transplant, it turns out that picture of her seems to be AI-generated according to Catfish “co-host” & detective Angela.

But what’s even more shocking is his wife Heidi was somehow behind all of this who hid his money away after she thought Julius emptied her savings account to pay for his girlfriend’s medical expenses.

That way, she can get her fair share of the divorce payment he sent to her while Julius robbed a bank – unbelievable.

And guess what, that ex-hubby has been catfished by the ex-wife.

Officer John Nolan’s mission with Nyla to Las Vegas to hunt for Oscar  

Now this was more of an uphill battle when Officer Nolan drove all the way to Vegas with Nyla to try and catch that suspect Oscar Hutchinson. 

Things went from bad to worse though when Oscar tasered Nolan from behind while Nolan was buying a can of soda from the vending machine who later threw him on back of the vehicle – at least Nolan is okay thanks to Nyla and that Drone kid.

For Oscar though, he’s nowhere to be seen now having escaped in a helicopter when his gang tried to shoot Nyla’s car from above, as there’s nothing they can do to catch him from there. 

The Aftermath…but maybe not in more ways than one

According to state police when Nolan, Angela and Wesley arrived at FBI HQ, the pilot & door gunner were dead because Oscar couldn’t pay for his escape. 

Then there was the news as said earlier that is going to shock everyone by surprise, Monica is back and these guys will have a lot of thinking to do. 

Wondering what that new problem will be when Monica will be right on LAPD’s radar next time?

For now, it’s been great having The Rookie back at the mid-season mark earlier this year to finish things out. Time will tell whether or not the show will have a Washington State spin-off but maybe for later 2026 to early 2027 if not, ABC will probably just forget it.

It’s been quite the entertainment this week on The Rookie as the season finale is just around the corner in around five days: John Nolan is on a mission to catch Oscar Hutchinson with a huge twist in Las Vegas while Bradford has to be mindful when it comes to boundaries with his partner in-crime and the newest sergeant on the LAPD payroll Lucy.

All about Randy

That Randy guy from Germany with some nice clothes, personality and a Rolls-Royce convertible was so funny, although he needs to be careful sometimes with his shenanigans next time. I mean, Chasity was almost killed if he didn’t meet those $15-20 million ransom demands by the hit man, as fortunately Nolan and his LAPD guys stopped this at an abandoned mall.

I was wondering how he did earn all those deep pockets? But you know, that’s so Randy and glad (Tim) Bradford got to spend a few hours with the guy Randy arranged for his meet and greet after he paid him in the region of $100K in charity.

And if the stunts aren’t for Randy, maybe he should try being an athlete whether if it’s a team sport or as an individual at a boxing ring, who does have the tall reach to beat down anyone like how he defended two men threatening to stab him with a knife at one time.

Ruth’s house in danger?

More of the Sopranos like episode or maybe like a short scripted version of Catfish from MTV, Nyla’s mom Ruth was given an eviction notice by surprise thanks to that scammer Priscilla Robins.

We thought her house was in danger following Ruth’s misunderstanding of the fine print but again her bestie Emilia played undercover mom and guess what? 

Priscilla has been caught under arrest when Emilia the Lopez mom opened the front door and the daughters Angela and Nyla showed up to take her in.

Mr Burns’ gang v Wesley and Sean

Mr Burns? Not the Simpsons one but Colin Burns – one of the suspects of murder.

There was a gang tried to turn Wesley’s head to drop his charges or else Sean’s son Logan will be in trouble. Now Logan may be shot following a drive-by shooting but glad he’s okay and there will be no more trouble to the Del Montes family.

Sergeant-elect Lucy Chen

Congrats to Lucy on passing her sergeant exams which she is now in charge of the night shift by the LAPD and yes Bradford, Lucy is a Typical A-student – how good!
