“The Rookie,” ABC’s police procedural inspired by the real-life story of the LAPD’s oldest rookie, returns with a new episode that tackles both a serial killer case and the lingering effects of personal trauma. In “Til Death,” the seventh season’s fifth installment, the lines between professional duty and personal struggles blur as the team confronts a chilling case while grappling with their own demons.

The hunt for a serial killer takes center stage, demanding the full attention of the team. But even as they pursue justice, their own lives are far from orderly. Nyla continues to deal with the aftermath of a recent attack, the trauma affecting both her professional and personal life.
