Note: The following story contains spoilers for “The Rookie” Season 6 finale, “Escape Plan.”
“The Rookie‘s” strike-shortened Season 6 came to a close Tuesday night with the action-packed tenth episode, “Escape Plan.” Plus, it might have nudged the door open for a step forward in the fan-favorite relationship between Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Tim Bradford (Eric Winter).
Though the duo didn’t re-spark their romance in the finale, which focused on the takedown of Monica (Bridget Regan) and Dr. Blair London (Danielle Campbell), there were still some major moments for #Chenford, as the fandom has lovingly dubbed the pair. Those moments included a heroic sequence for Lucy in the heat of action, as well as a quieter, more emotional elevator scene later in the episode, which series creator Alexi Hawley called “the most important step for the future.”
Before he looked toward what’s next, Hawley contended with the past.

The Rookie's popularity with viewers remains strong, which has earned the ABC show a renewal for a new seventh season. Pretty good news considering its spin-off, Feds, was unfortunately canceled due to the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes.
The strikes also affected the main series, as The Rookie Season 6 has only 10 episodes instead of the usual 20-22, so there hasn't been much content about our favorite members of the LAPD Mid-Wilshire Patrol Division, and next week we'll already see the finale.
And the closer we get to the end of the next chapter of The Rookie, the more revealing the events become. For example, after the last episode it became clearer who the mastermind might be this time. Only the fans were a bit confused, because the villains are getting more outlandish every season, and the regular cops are having to deal with those who are usually targeted by S.W.A.T.

With season finale time right around the corner and many of our favorite series coming to a close, it's time to be brutally honest.
The shortened seasons felt the full plight of the dual strikes. And you know what? It sucked.
Yes, the overall experience of having a shortened season has been a misfortune to diehard TV Fanatics.
But also, the quality of the seasons delivered to us has generally been any combination of disappointing, boring, unhinged, or perfunctory.
It's an unusual situation when we craved the return of our favorite series for so long but quickly realized they should've forgone a rush job to salvage the television season and given themselves time to cook up better, stronger full seasons.
At the risk of sounding ungrateful, this shortened season could've been an email for some series.
It's not the first time strikes have severely hampered the quality of an otherwise excellent series.

With only one episode left to go in The Rookie Season 6, we can’t help but wonder where it will leave the fan-favorite couple Chenford—Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) and Tim Bradford (Eric Winter)—after their breakup (his doing). The finale will leave them “in a warm embrace,” Winter told TV Insider on the Disney Upfront red carpet. “That’s sweet,” O’Neil said, calling it “symbolic and literal.” He added, “They are there for each other in more ways than one, and I think it’s a great reflection of how much they still really care about each other after everything they’re going through.” And hey, there may be a light at the end of the heartbreaking tunnel. “I think personally, it’s going to be exciting to see them evolve and grow and hopefully be better individuals,” said O’Neil. “Maybe they ...

For all its flaws, The Rookie remains an excellent procedural that continues to delight viewers with its balanced mix of police drama, action, and comedy. Based on the true story of an LAPD officer who joined the law enforcement in his mid-40s, the show centers on the department's oldest rookie, John Nolan (Nathan Fillion), who finally gets the chance to become a training officer himself in Season 5. Despite the fact that the ABC series receives mediocre scores from critics, it is very popular among audiences, earning The Rookie not only a spin-off, Feds (unfortunately canceled due to WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes), but also a renewal for a new seventh season.
But for now, we still have three episodes of Season 6 to go, and the plot continues to develop rapidly, providing viewers with intriguing storylines that promise to shock fans closer to the finale. As such, we saw a...

The first step in fixing a problem is acknowledging that there is one and getting help.
Tim Bradford is on the path to doing that after everything that has happened to him, and Blair is the person he's willing to turn to to get the ball rolling by the end of The Rookie Season 6 Episode 7.
But is that the best choice? It's one of many things worth discussing during this installment.
Overall, it was a genuinely pleasant hour! And that sounds a bit sardonic, but that's not the case.
One of the things that made "Crushed" so fun and intriguing was that all the characters were involved with the same case and approached it from different angles.
The Rookie is infinitely easier to follow during these instances when one specific case brings together all the characters we love.

There are some high expectations for The Rookie Season 6 Episode 7 as we're left to wonder about the state of Chenford and how Lucy and Tim will interact with one another since their controversial breakup.

Hopefully, we can anticipate that the upcoming episode will pick up where The Rookie Season 6 Episode 6 left off or close to it, and we can face the aftermath of the various events that have seriously impacted Tim Bradford's life.
As mentioned in the promo, Sergeant Grey doesn't mince words to remind Bradford that within the past week, he's dealt with a demotion from his position at Metro due to his misconduct and also broke up with Lucy.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Rookie Season 6 Episode 6 “Secrets and Lies.”] Chenford fans were delivered a crushing blow in the latest episode of The Rookie when Tim Bradford (Eric Winter), after spending much too long lying to Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil)—for her own good, he stressed!—about what he was up to when his military past came back from the dead, dropped a bombshell on her in the final moments. After lying to Ia, Tim arrived at a heartbreaking conclusion. Though Lucy said he was in an impossible situation and she would’ve done the same thing in his place, he argued she never would’ve been in that place and put her self-interest over her team. “You thought you could handle it. You were wrong but you made it ...

Did anyone have Nolan and Bailey considering parenthood on their Bingo Cards?
We just got past the Bailan wedding, and now, thanks to sweet baby Anna on The Rookie Season 6 Episode 5, the pair may have to consider their stances on parenthood and what type of future they have together in that regard.
The hour also introduced us to a multi-episode arc involving Tim Bradford's past, which threatens to challenge him and Lucy and his position on the force.
There was so much great content within the hour, and there's only a promise for more.
The hour also did a decent job of juggling many characters with storylines.
Offhand, since my colleague was musing about how Elijah Stone is a great villain, the Oscar Hutchinson deposition has been mildly interesting.
The biggest issue with this deposition that came out of nowhere and seemingly led to nothing is the belief that there's far more to it.

What a way to bring it home in the final ten minutes of the hour.
Mostly, The Rookie Season 6 Episode 4 was a relatively underwhelming hour, hovering on uneventful and laissez-faire.
But then, they packed all the action and excitement into those final ten minutes where Lucy Chen became a complete and utter badass.
While those final scenes didn't ultimately make up for everything else, they livened things up and introduced some potentially interesting angles and moments of development for Lucy.
The hour also saw Aaron Thorsen returning to active duty after leave and the dynamic duo he and Bradford are together.
There were many odd tones in this installment.
One of the most notable was the team getting sucked into this case that they thought involved a serial killer that we had never even heard about before this.
You had a crappy day. You had them before, you'll have them again.

These days, it seems like almost everyone aspires to be famous at some point. In light of this, it makes sense that a large number of people are curious about how wealthy celebrities get. Of course, this is a topic of great interest because some TV stars have made at least $1 million a season. For example, fans of Alexi Hawley’s police procedural crime drama series The Rookie are curious to know about the income of the cast members.
And it seems that the leading face of the series, Nathan Fillion, is no ‘rookie’ when it comes to earning big bucks in the TV industry. According to Celebrity Net Worth, the Canadian-American actor, who portrays John Nolan, the oldest rookie, is said to be raking in a whopping $100,000 per episode for his work on The Rookie.

Television shows often contain plot holes that eagle-eyed fans catch, and The Rookie is certainly not immune to these mistakes. Most of the time, episodes have minor errors that can be easily forgotten. But every now and then, writers overlook major elements that completely contradict their storytelling. And unfortunately, one of Lucy Chen’s central storylines in The Rookie Season 5 contains a significant plot hole.

After Lucy was promoted to Police Officer II in The Rookie Season 3, she became interested in undercover work. Nyla Harper, who previously was an undercover police officer, took Lucy under her wing and helped her with her first operation. Lucy proved to be a natural at it, much to Tim Bradford’s dismay.
Lucy went undercover again in the season 3 finale to help take down La Fiera.

Lucy went undercover again in the season 3 finale to help take down La Fiera.
