Are they hinting at a Lucy and Bradford romance? I like Bradford but I don't want their student teacher dynamic messed up. Plus I liked Lucy with Nolan more than the Heroes double ice chick or Shaw from POI.
Why do all people in all movies/tv shows run when they hit/knock down the bad guy instead of keep hitting him to make sure he doesn’t get back up?
A trained cop with both physical and mental training and quite some time of experience on the job chooses to run like a scared untrained person instead of using anything at hand to keep hitting him, pull his eyes out, stab him with a piece of chair in throat, take his gun, anything?
The problem with putting a series regular in peril is that we the audience knows that they can’t die. Yes, they killed a regular last season, but I don’t see The Rookie going all Game of Thrones on its regular cast. Given that, the tension in the episode was low as the stakes were low. Sure I was happy to see Lucy back alive and I am hoping they use this episode to build Lucy’s character and show her trying to recover from the horrors of what happened to her. Other than that, I was checking my watch throughout the episode because I already figured that Lucy was going to live by the end of the episode.
2 idiots got kidnapped by serial killer .. lucy a trained cop who had the chance to use something sharp like that chair she broke to escape and hit the guy a fatal blow but she didn't... the detective who went with a serial killer to try and save the girl who probably dead .. but he did trust on serial killer word ... and the most idiotic thing is that LAPD doesn't have a K9 unit to search for someone.
Happy it's back! Still one the more fun new shows.
That was… dumb. Excessively so!
I don’t know what was most laughable, but two things that come to mind are
1. only the usual peeps went looking, didn’t bring anything to dig with or even water for Lucy if they’d find her, and spread out super far in no time at all apparently BUT managed to come running in a minute after Tim CALLS out… and then they dig around the lid of the barrel. I just… WHY?!
Also
2. there are barking dogs everywhere in this show (albeit admittedly fewer this season) and still they omit the dog that would have been logical - the K-9 unit? Ffs…
Oh… and an honourable dumbfuckery: the hints that Tim and Lucy will get romantically involved. I do hope I am wrong, but I doubt it. And btw, burgers and fries smell a LOT so she shouldn’t have been all surprised. And why weren’t they cold? How did he know that she’d wake up? Is it “because he knows her so well…” #vomit
What I DO love about the episode is Wesley’s monologue about asking for help!
So many shows have had buried alive episodes. They are cliche but are intense and do keep your attention throughout. Especially this one.

This was a solid mid-season premiere. I'm glad Lucy is okay, well, as far as still being alive is concerned. Realistically, she wouldn't be okay, and I hope that is showcased for an appropriate amount of episodes instead of being brushed off too quickly. One thing that stood out to me was the quieter-than-normal eeriness throughout the episode. This show has always been upbeat and easygoing with a lot of music and the occasional "more tension-filled, suspenseful, serious moment", and noise, in general. Yet in this episode, not only was there barely any music but hardly any background noise, either. I think that added to the suspense and tension. Maybe it's been a little too long since the previous episode, and it's always been like that, I don't know. But regardless, I'm glad the show is back, and I'm looking forward to watching it again, week-by-week.
