‘The Rookie’ Boss Previews Chenford’s ‘Cathartic’ Season 8 Premiere

To take down high-value targets, the LAPD has to trust the last person they want to in The Rookie Season 8 premiere on Tuesday, January 6: Monica (Bridget Regan). But hey, at least there’s some good news for Chenford fans!

Last we saw on the ABC drama, Monica made a deal using intel she had, and now, in the first episode of the new season, titled “Czech Mate,” the LAPD, FBI, and Interpol head to Prague with her to go after high-value terrorists operating both in and out of the U.S. Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey (Jenna Dewan) will be dealing with Monica in Prague, while others in Los Angeles have their hands full as well. Meanwhile, Tim (Eric Winter) made it clear he wants to move forward — and in together — with Lucy (Melissa O’Neil), but she was asleep and didn’t quite hear that … meaning that needs to be addressed as well.
