The Rookie season 5 episode 10 recap
The show’s previous episode saw Tim and Lucy figuring out their outfits for their first date. Neither could decide what to wear, but they still showed up and ended up having a fight with knives in the restaurant. In the end, they finally shared their first kiss.
The new couple struggled to tell their coworkers that they were dating and were especially paranoid about Sergeant Grey, who asked them for help to not let Aaron Thorsen and Celina Juarez date since they worked together. In addition, all Aaron and Celina were doing was just playing Dungeons and Dragons together.
On the other hand, a heist crew stole a list that contained the names of undercover FBI agents. This angle continues in The Rookie: Feds Season 1 Episode 10.
Angela Lopez and Wesley Evers discussed having another child but ended up delaying the plan. Later, Nyla Harper and James Murray asked the couple if they could take care of their daughter, Leah, if anything happened to them, to which they happily agreed.
