The Rookie

Previously, on "the rookie"...

Who's this? I'll be there in 20.

- What's going on? - I got to go.

- Just wait. - I can't.

I'll call you when I can.

What the hell are you into that's making you so crazy?

- I can't tell you. - Why?

Because even knowing about it will put you

at risk with the department.

I have a group of friends at school,

and they're getting a place together.

And I was thinking of joining them.

- You're moving? - Kinda.

You violated procedure and roped in two other officers?

I'm required to notify your Metro commander.

What she does with it is up to her.

Lucy, I've been lying to myself for a long time.

I can't just go back to the way things were.

Are you breaking up with me?

I'm sorry.

What's happening?

I think we should have a baby.

I haven't even had a cup of coffee yet.

Maybe we table this till later?

Having a kid has been the greatest joy in my life,

so why would I want to deny her that?

It's all about temperature.

That is the best indicator about whether or not

I'm ovulating... that and cervical mucus.

I did not know that.

Thank you for that tidbit and for the ride.

Hey, time is not on our side.

We need to get serious about maximizing our chances.

Agreed. Yeah.

- You let me know when the... - Cervical mucus.

Is optimal, and I will be there.

- Morning. - Morning.

Hey, you got your coffee.

I was hoping we could stop at revolution after roll call.

We still can.

I'm gonna need four more shots, minimum.

Ooh, bad night of sleep?

No, just still trying to get pregnant.

Poor you.

Constant sex with your gorgeous wife?

You should take a day off to take a break.

Ok. Fair enough.

But turns out, it's not quite as much fun

when she has you on a tight schedule.

Real tight.

What time are you getting home at today?

I couldn't say.

I'm so far behind.

Speaking of, I got to go.

Bye.

And I'll be home at my usual time.

So somewhere between 6:00 and midnight?

That's the one.

Bye, honey. I love you.

Take good care of your sister.

What the hell is a gun doing in your purse?

It's for protection.

I have a permit.

Not in my house, you don't.

Hello, mom. Are you free today?

Because I just fired my nanny.

How did I end up with so much stuff?

I used to live out of a backpack.

Hey, listen.

If you are overwhelmed, you could always delay

by a few days or a few weeks.

Do you need me to stay?

I mean, I know you've been going through a lot

with the breakup.

No, no, I... no.

I wasn't saying you should stay for me.

I... I was just

you know, if you're not ready, then you have options.

Thanks, but I am ready.

Great.

I made a reservation at that fancy Thai restaurant

for your going-away dinner.

7:00 tonight.

I'm not going away. I'm moving 3 miles.

Girl, I am going to shower you

with love at a fancy dinner, and that is final.

Yes, ma'am.

Did Tim really get kicked out of Metro?

Yeah.

It just goes to show, it's all downhill

after the pinnacle of you.

First day back on patrol.

Yes, sir. Yeah.

Happy to be back.

I know I have a lot of work ahead of me.

And rebuilding our trust won't be easy,

but I'm ready to do the work.

That's good to hear.

First step, I need you to take Dr. London on a ride-along.

I'm... I'm sorry.

You asked the department shrink to babysit me?

Well, she's not there to babysit.

She's there to observe.

You mean evaluate.

Listen, sarge, with all due respect,

I know you're... you're worried about me, but

within the last week, you've been bounced back to patrol

for reckless behavior,

and you broke up with your girlfriend.

Both things make me question your judgment.

Sir, breaking up with Lucy

has nothing to do with the ray situation.

Trust me.

Listen, Tim, if you really want to regain my trust,

this is where it starts.

Now, I can make this an official thing

and assign you mandated counseling,

which will go on your record, or you can entertain

Dr. London for the day, and we see where we end up.

I'll... I'll take the ride-along.

That's what I thought.

If you get into any trouble, I'll be on patrol, too.

I'm riding with chen.

Evaluating her?

No, just observing.

Right.

You still taking bets on the breakup?

You know it.

100 bucks says Tim cheated.

You sure?

- It's running 5 to 1 against. - Yeah.

Bigger risk, bigger reward.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I... I was never even here.

Are you taking bets on my breakup, smitty?

No, I would nev.

"Lucy found out about Tim's secret child

"with Isabel, 5 to 1.

Lucy is sleeping with Aaron, 3 to 1."

How are the odds that I'm cheating with Aaron,

but you know what?

That's not the point.

This is inappropriate.

I'm sorry.

You're right. I'll shut it down.

Thank you.

- Hey. - Hey.

Lucy.

Ok, wait, she brought a gun into your house?

- I know. - With your children there?

- I know. - And you're a cop.

She knows.

Well, good luck finding a replacement.

I scheduled three nanny interviews last week.

Two of them were hired by other families

before I could even meet with them,

and then the third one flaked.

I thought you had someone you liked.

Yeah. She can't do full-time.

And James is expanding the community center,

so I need to find childcare in two weeks,

or Leah comes to crime scenes with me.

Any leads?

I have an interview later on today.

You want in?

Weeding through applicants together

could be a lot less painful.

Send me her background check,

and I'll start brainstorming questions.

Blair?

Dr. London? What are you doing here?

- Ride-along. - With who?

Dr. London.

I'm sergeant Bradford. You've signed all the waivers?

- I have. - Great.

Officer thorsen, you're riding with us.

Great.

I mean, yes, sir.

Go get the war bags.

Yes, sir.

Interesting, bringing Aaron along as a buffer.

Classic avoidant attachment style.

Avoidant what?

It means you prefer surface-level relationships

to deep intimacy.

It's a defense mechanism that can develop

when a person is raised by an overly strict

or domineering parent.

My guess is father.

All right.

Just so we're clear, I'm not a fan

of this or therapy in general,

so don't expect me to over share.

Like I said, surface-level.

But it's not my intention to make you feel uncomfortable.

In fact, I'm hoping we can enjoy a nice, boring day

on patrol together.

No such thing.

I know you're worried about me, but I
