The Rookie meets Dropout’s Game Changer in the Monday, March 2, episode of the ABC drama — and the humor in that is a nice counter to the drama for one of the show’s couples.
It’s in that crossover that Nolan (Nathan Fillion) encounters someone from his past. Meanwhile, guest stars Tyler Ritter and Charles Michael Davis play a suspect whose innocence is proven in that case and a doctor at the hospital with Grey’s (Richard T. Jones) wife, Luna (Angel Parker), respectively. Warning: Spoilers for The Rookie Season 8 Episode 9 ahead!
