Tue Apr 22 04:10:00 UTC 2025: ## The Rookie Season 7 Finale to Feature Return of Fugitives, Unexpected Twists

**Los Angeles, CA** – ABC’s “The Rookie” is gearing up for a thrilling season finale, with executive producer Alexi Hawley teasing major developments for several key characters. The season, already renewed for an eighth installment, will conclude with the return of fugitives Monica (Bridget Regan) and Oscar (Matthew Glave), both of whom escaped at the end of Season 6.

Before the finale, viewers can look forward to a documentary-style episode, “A Deadly Secret,” airing April 22nd. Hawley promises “unexpected revelations” for Tim (Eric Winter) and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil), hinting at compromising footage captured by cameras.

Hawley confirmed Monica’s significant return in the finale, stating she’ll be back “in a big way.” Oscar’s reintroduction will also be a major plot point, though details remain scarce. The producer hinted that they are “up to no good” and did not confirm if they’re working together.

The adoption storyline for Nolan (Nathan Fillion) and Bailey (Jenna Dewan) will hit a roadblock, due to the inherent dangers of their jobs. Hawley suggests this path may prove unfulfilling, leaving their future uncertain for Season 8.

The upcoming documentary episode will explore a complicated missing persons case, forcing the team to confront differing beliefs regarding the supernatural. The episode will also feature the return of a familiar face, creating a divisive reaction within the precinct.

Lucy’s upcoming sergeant’s exam will also be a focal point, marking a crucial step in her career and potentially impacting her complex relationship with Tim.

The season finale promises a “big, splashy” episode, potentially reviving previously sidelined storylines and putting Nolan in significant danger. Hawley described the cliffhanger as “fun, unexpected, and hopefully will make people very excited about what’s going to happen in Season 8.” “The Rookie” airs Tuesdays at 9/8c on ABC.
