A brief recap of The Rookie Season 7, Episode 13
In The Rookie Season 7, Episode 13, titled Three Billboards, Nolan becomes the target of a smear campaign when billboards questioning whether he is a "dirty cop" appear throughout the city. The situation affects Nolan and Bailey's plans to adopt, as their social worker deems their professions too dangerous for parenting.
Meanwhile, during a routine traffic stop, Nolan and Officer Lucy Chen witness a motorcyclist throw a grenade into a car, killing the driver, Viggo Nash, who has a criminal past in Las Vegas. The investigation leads to Nash's associate, Mack Wheeler, and uncovers a plot to assassinate football star AJ Knox under the guise of a home invasion.
The LAPD thwarts the plan, arresting those involved. Eventually, it's revealed that serial killer Liam Glasser orchestrated the billboard campaign to discredit Nolan and other officers ahead of his trial.
Preview of The Rookie Season 7 Episode 14
The logline of the upcoming episode reads:
"Tim receives a strange message, launching a larger investigation into the dark web. Meanwhile, Celina works to take down a popular podcast."
In a recent episode of The Rookie, Lucy is revealed to be taking the sergeant's exam, which could level the playing field with Tim. In the teaser for episode 18, Angela questions Tim about his relationship with Lucy and whether her taking the exam is to potentially revive their relationship.
This hints that Angela sees through Tim’s attempt to downplay his feelings. Meanwhile, Bailey’s past collaboration with hitman Malvado resurfaces as he returns and kills a suspect linked to Nolan. This could put Nolan in a dangerous moral bind: stay silent or risk exposure. Bailey asserts that Malvado has no reason to come after them, but the couple is visibly scared.
In an interview with Collider dated April 9, 2025, Jenna Dewan said the following about Nolan and Bailey,
"The great thing about both of them is that they continue throughout the episodes coming up to keep taking accountability for their side of things."
