In this week’s episode of ABC’s The Rookie, titled “The Watcher,” the LAPD team trades high-octane pursuits for community policing while simultaneously hunting a vigilante who’s taken justice into their own hands.

As the team pounds the pavement, getting to know the locals and their concerns, they also try to uncover the identity of the masked crusader lurking in the shadows. Meanwhile, rookie Celina Juarez finds her instincts put to the test as she tackles the nuances of community relations.
