John Nolan’s pursuit of Jason Wyler takes center stage in the upcoming episode of “The Rookie,” aptly titled “Out of Pocket.” As Bailey’s return home draws closer, the urgency to apprehend Wyler escalates, pushing Nolan to dig deeper into the investigation.

This week’s procedural twist involves a rookie swap, with Tim and Lucy trading trainees, a move sure to generate its share of both comedic and dramatic friction. And to further stir the pot, a familiar face reemerges, potentially altering the dynamics within the precinct. While the specifics of this character’s return remain under wraps, it’s a safe bet their presence will tie into the larger narrative, perhaps even impacting the Wyler case.

Meanwhile, Angela’s relationship with Wesley hits a snag, leaving Wesley feeling a bit off balance.

With multiple threads weaving together – the Wyler hunt, the rookie swap, a returning character, and relationship drama – “Out of Pocket” aims to deliver a dense episode for “The Rookie” faithful.
