With some police procedurals, there isn't a chance to really dig into the characters' lives in a super deep way. The action moves fast, and in-depth character explorations go by the wayside. Last week on ABC's The Rookie, Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil) has a devastating experience when she kills a man in the line of duty. While this is tragic, I was excited to see how The Rookie would incorporate some of Lucy's past trauma with this new event. We do get a little bit of development into this storyline, but unless it gets picked up later on in the season, The Rookie wraps up Lucy's post-traumatic stress disorder-type symptoms in a way too neat bow in this week's episode. On the bright side, we do get to see more of one of The Rookie's best villains, which saves this hour.
