The Rookie takes on its first Monday airing with familiar rhythms while testing just how much emotional whiplash one episode can deliver. This episode is an odd mix of lighthearted and devastating. Prepare for laughter and tears.


In “Cut and Run,” Bailey (Jenna Dewan) and Wesley (Shawn Ashmore) have some big decisions to make that concern their partners. Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) comes to Tim (Eric Winter) for help at work. A public hit has the team debating a motive. And Smitty gives a lot of people a big headache…



Character of the Week: Wesley Evers

Wesley is always determined to do the right thing and that is what makes him so admirable.


Ship of the Week: Wopez

While every ship gets equal time this week, Angela and Wesley’s communication in the episode is a highlight.


Dialogue Teases:

  1. “Wow, you really married outside of your league.”

  2. “Are these cases from the future?”

  3. “Operation Kill A Dream is a go.”

  4. “Smitty is a force of nature.”
