The Plot:
There’s no official synopsis for The Rookie Season 8, we do know some details about the new episodes. As announced at SDCC, the team, John and Bailey, are moving to Prague. They’re on a mission to catch Oscar with the help of Monica, our not-so-favorite lawyer. And we hope they succeed and we can move on, honestly. That said, we don’t quite understand Bailey’s presence in a police operation, but we hope the show will explain it.
In addition to this, this season will be key for Chenford. At the end of season 7, Tim opened his heart…while Lucy was asleep. Now that they’re both sergeants and have conflicting shifts, they need to have that conversation once and for all—with both of them awake this time—and work from there.
