The best thing about this episode is that it wasn't the season finale.
I have issues with cop shows. Mostly in the form of generalized copaganda but I also now have issues in the post BLM era attempts to respond to BLM. The Rookie is one of the few cop shows I've watched consistently and I've had this issue since Season 1. What I will say is that even with that context. This might be one of the best episodes I've seen of this show. Even in terms of copaganda and post BLM response its *mostly* reasonable. Across pretty much every story line this episode worked. Most impressively I finally care about the Brandon Routh storyline. I definitely give them points for bringing him back as a racist cop who was unfired now THAT is true to life. Even if everyone being against him from all the chiefs to everyone in whatever department Jackson and Nolan are in and yet he's still "just a cop" didn't. In this episode he comes back and it's such a good plotline that it almost makes up for the random "new cop is racist" storyline that preceded it.
I am so TIRED of this show and its constant background track of barking dogs. Having to pause the show to get my own dog to chill out during half of the episodes isn’t what I find a relaxing pastime. I give up.
