The first season premiered on October 16th, 2018 and ended on April 16th, 2019. The Rookie Season 6 premiered on February 20th, 2024. Norcross, Hawley and Fillion are also the executive producers of The Rookie alongside Michelle Chapman, Jon Steinberg and Mark Gordon, etc.
What Happened In The Rookie Season 6 Episode 7?
The Rookie Season 6 Episode 7 is titled Crushed with Tori Garrett directing it from a script by Natalie Callaghan and Brynn Malone. It was released on April 30th, 2024, and showcased each character of this series working on a singular case and trying to decipher it.
A very funny scene in this episode involves John Nolan talking to the women over the radio. However, it’s more of a personal chat than a work talk. They talk about random things which is really funny to witness.
This instance showcases that Nolan might be preparing to be a father. We also see Bailey who is desperate and wants to experience motherhood. We also see a track involving Harper and Lopez. The duo is looking for a good nanny and interviews many people to find the most suitable one. A lot of other things also happen in the episode that make it exciting.
What To Expect From The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8?
The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8 is called Punch Card. It will showcase the police unit keeping an eye on a hospital since a major incident and death takes place before that. This death and the incident are widely reported and will be a major plot of this episode.
Meanwhile, we will see Celina and Lucy being tasked to go after this case and find out the people who orchestrated this incident. We will also see Aaron and Tim team up again for an exciting mission that will test their skills and bonding. A short promo of the episode glimpses what is to happen.
It starts with a fight happening near John Nolan as he contemplates to help. But a majority of the episode will take place in the hospital which becomes a hub for gang war after many people are admitted.
Overall, the episode will be claustrophobic since most of the action will happen in the hospital. We can expect some civilians to also get hurt amid many shootouts as well as gunfights due to the gangsters involved in the storyline.
Do We Have A Release Date?
The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8 will release on May 7th, 2024 on ABC at 9 pm (ET). The episodes can be also enjoyed on Hulu. Netflix also has the prior seasons in store and they can be viewed. This season will have ten episodes, much less than the 20 average episodes of earlier seasons, due to the Hollywood strike.
Conclusion
The Rookie Season 6 Episode 8 is going to be a very engaging episode and it has much buzz around it. Viewers can expect a lot of action in this episode that too in a hospital.
