Preview of The Rookie season 7 episode 3

The logline for the upcoming episode reads,

"Ahead of Bailey's return home, John looks for clues to locate Jason Wyler; Tim and Lucy swap rookies; a friendly face resurfaces at the station; Wesley feels unsettled over Angela."

As seen in the promo, the central storyline in episode 3 will address Oscar and Bailey's ex-husband Jason's escape from prison. As revealed towards the end of season 6, their escape posed a threat to Bailey and Nolan, and the upcoming episode's promo builds up on that arc.

There are shadows seen outside Nolan's house, and he requests backup. The next scene features a worried Celina who says that she can't find Nolan anywhere. The episode also features Bailey's first appearance this season.

Talking to Parade about the upcoming episode today, Jenna Dewan said,

“We come back strong, because right away, Jason is on the run and looking for Bailey and threatening our lives and our relationship. I’m right away dealing with that and how we’re going to protect ourselves and capture him.”

She further adds,

“What I love of how the writers and Alexi have created Bailey as we’ve gone along is she’s really capable. She is an independent woman who is very capable to handle herself. But at the same time, what I also love is the vulnerability of we don’t want to be here doing it all ourselves. You want to be able to have your partner and someone you love who protects you and is there with you through all the ups and downs.”
