'The Rookie' Officially Returns to What Made the Procedural So Good With This Fan-Favorite Character | Review

Editor's Note: The following contains spoilers for Season 8, Episode 14 of The Rookie.At first glance, Episode 14 of ABC's The Rookie seems like it's going to be a light-hearted romp. Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) has souped up one of the shops so that he'll be riding around as Watch Commander in style. But then, the series does something that allows it to put out an excellent episode — it actually highlights one of its best characters. Even though the episode also returns to a storyline with an old character (which has been happening in nearly every episode this season), The Rookie still soars when it goes back to its heart.
