Following the surprise return of Monica Stevens at the end of last season, which took the cast to Prague, the latest episode of The Rookie brings the action back to Los Angeles. The show is known for its dramatic scenarios, and this installment features several characters stepping into new roles and forming unexpected partnerships, both at work and in their personal lives. This shift raises questions about the future of Lieutenant Wade Grey, played by Richard T. Jones. The episode’s title comes from a hilariously inept criminal, Miles Penn, who attempts to become an informant, but ultimately plays a minor role in a story that’s full of both emotional depth and exciting action. It’s a strong start to the eighth season of Nathan Fillion’s police procedural.
