The Rookie - The Thinker - Preview: Big Wins and Losses

29 Mar 2026

Share on Reddit


This week on The Rookie, Bailey (Jenna Dewan) asks for Nolan’s (Nathan Fillion) help with her new trainee when they all are taken hostage. Meanwhile the team at Mid-Wilshire tries to recruit after a surprising event.


“The Thinker” is a more character driven episode. Wesley awaits the DA race results, Tim and Lucy get closure, and Rodge sings some new songs.


Character of the Week: Bailey Nune

It is rare when we see Bailey in a position she’s not proficient in. It’s a nice change of pace.


Relationship of the Week: The Team

Sometimes we are reminded of how close everyone at Mid-Wilshire is. They’re a family that supports each other no matter what.


Dialogue Teases:

  1. “My love life is as cold as a frosted frog.”

  2. “We’re rich, bitch!”

  3. “We are “first day of the rest of our lives”ing it.”

  4. “I could hear you cursing from outside the station bathroom.”

  5. “I knew you secretly wanted to be me!”

  6. “I got really excited when I realized Celina rhymed with zebra and subpoena.”
