The Rookie Season 5 Episode 13 Review: Daddy Cop

The issues we do for these we love…

Among the finest installments are after they lean closely into the dynamics and the way this glorious group of characters has develop into a household.

And there have been so many Household Feels in The Rookie Season 5 Episode 13 that it made you smile.

Celina is a type of characters who has been on the polarizing aspect. She’s what you’d confidently name an “acquired style,” along with her quirks and unorthodox manner of doing issues.

However the extra time we spend along with her, the higher they’ve managed to around her out. It is even higher after they change up the individuals she will get to work together with and introduce new dynamics that convey out totally different sides of her.

Celina and Gray paired up had been one of many highlights of the installment, though the Celina and Tim interactions had been endearing as effectively.

Gray is such a dad and a mentor. He is gotten a lot softer than within the early days when he got here throughout as a hardass.

It might have made her and Nolan nervous after they discovered she’d be spending the day with him, however in actuality, he needed to see what she was like within the area and assist her work on a few of her weaknesses.

And Gray was 100% proper when he referred to as Celina out on her incapability to ask for assist. She’s new to the gang, so it is comprehensible that she’s nonetheless looking for her footing and place.

But when she hadn’t discovered already, she’s gotten the message; they’re all a household, and he or she’s a part of that, too. It is no disgrace in letting individuals in, in search of them out, and asking for assist.

Mentioning her background once more and introducing us to her mom was a stunning manner of peeling again these layers to her character, reminding us of what Celina has endured and what impressed her to be there within the first place.

Celina’s quirks are nice for a number of laughs or an annoyance to some. Nevertheless, it is higher once we set a few of that apart and concentrate on the extra susceptible facets of her character and job competence.

As a result of Celina is an effective cop, she’s already grown a lot. It was an excellent installment to test in along with her character and showcase that effectively.

Nolan is a protected house for her to take pleasure in her astrology and different such issues unapologetically, and that is nice. She and Nolan have developed a candy bond, which he comes throughout as paternal.

Gray: You have endured unimaginable loss, and you’ve got carried that weight alone, however now you might have a brand new household of brothers and sisters. Do not forget that.
Celina: Copy that, sir. Subsequent time I need assistance with one thing, I will not hold it to myself.

However when she would not get wrapped up in issues like that, we get to see how her hunches and instincts are sturdy. She captured these looters effectively and made some wonderful calls when Gray put her in command on the scene.

However her heroic second of the hour was rescuing that lady from the drug den and almost shedding her life within the course of. Whereas there wasn’t a worry that they’d kill off this new character so shortly, her moments of unconsciousness after falling sufferer to these fumes had been nerve-wracking.

You can really feel the worry and fear from Nolan, Gray, and Thorsen, particularly Nolan. He was beside himself with fear.

It hit house how shut he is develop into to Celina and the way a lot he genuinely loves and cares for her. He feels chargeable for her, and that is why T.O. fits Nolan so effectively.

Celina: Hand.
Nolan: What’d you say?
Celina: You are crushing my hand.

He is on this for all the correct causes and genuinely cares. As his first rookie, Celina will all the time have a particular place in his coronary heart. They’ve completed effectively build up the bond between these two since Celina’s arrival.

Celina is a courageous soul, nevertheless it makes you marvel how lengthy she will go on downplaying what she does and deceptive her mom.

The poor lady misplaced one daughter, consistently fears she’ll lose one other, and is so afraid of the surface that she will not step foot away from her house.

Celina has fairly a narrative and an advanced background and relationship along with her mom, and it was good that we obtained to discover that once more extra severely. She additionally obtained to merge her new household with the one she has now.

You can see how touching it was for her that Tim not solely ensured that she obtained to do a wellness test on her mom, however he knew easy methods to deal with her mom and assist her there.

So, with installments like this, once we get to see this aspect of Celina extra, is she extra tolerable for these of you who’ve points along with her? Inquiring minds need to know, and hopefully, you may hit the feedback along with your ideas on the matter.

The theme of household is carried out in different methods too. It was hilarious and valuable that everybody confirmed up at Nolan’s home as a result of he was the one one with energy.

The whole thing of them barging in with youngsters and gear, making their place their very own, was what you’d count on from members of the family.

They even had an entire group chat going. Nolan could not have denied them if he needed to, and it supplied various nice scenes and moments.

It was significantly hilarious when Tim confirmed up there and puzzled why Nolan behaved so surprisingly, and everybody else was there and hadn’t informed them.

Lucy enlisting the assistance of Harper and everybody else to get Tim a greater place was the cutest. You’ll be able to by no means say she will not do something for the person, and it is even higher that she managed to orchestrate all of this with out taking any credit score for it.

Harper was the most effective particular person she might strategy for recommendation on the matter as a result of she knew the interior workings of each division and easy methods to get round issues effectively.

Nyla: Did you test your textual content?
Nolan: I did not.
Nyla: Our energy is out, and it’s too sizzling for Leah to sleep.

The clear board of easy methods to transfer individuals round like chess items for what fits their very own curiosity, in addition to Lucy’s and Tim’s, was, frankly, the most effective. And right here I assumed they’d be taking part in some {couples} sport or one thing.

Metro is a greater match for Tim than the courtroom liaison, even when he is nice at his job there. It offers him the kind of motion he loves, retains him lively, and permits him to work with the opposite characters continuously.

The metro introduction was cool, and the lady in cost was fascinating. I’m wondering if she’ll be round extra, and that is who Tim must work with usually.

We should always positively get extra motion for Tim with this new task, and the instances will probably be intense, too. We obtained a style of that with the one Angela was working.

Smitty: I will admit, I have been lax about cleansing it.
Lucy: How lax?
Smitty: Both Clinton or Bush was the president.
Lucy: Which Bush?

Angela will all the time be a badass, and he or she dealt with herself so rattling effectively whereas going undercover on the pharmacy. She kicked all types of ass, too. When is not Angela the very best?

It is nonetheless regarding that she’s pregnant and has a job that consistently places her in jeopardy like this, however all we are able to hope is that nothing horrible occurs.

The hour was a good way of showcasing the sturdy forged and the dynamic among the many characters. Many of the instances felt like they took a backseat to that, with Lucy’s freezer physique and different bits falling away because the installment progressed.

The opener with the storage band was enjoyable, and I will be buzzing Daddy Cop for the foreseeable future as a result of it was manner too catchy.

Angela and Wesley organized one thing of worth with Knuckles, prompting that bust was nice.

However total, the non-public parts of the hour shined via finest. And any installment with some enjoyable Smitty antics is price appreciating, too.

Lucy requiring a hazmat swimsuit to scrub his trailer was a enjoyable strategy to finish the hour. Godspeed, poor lady!

Over to you, Rookie Fanatics.
