Alexi Hawley: I think it has.

I think that’s a road, sadly, with a lot of low points for them.

But I think that’s also a reality for lots of people.

The part, [especially], where they couldn’t have a kid biologically was very recognizable.

ScreenRant: They are both danger magnets.

Alexi Hawley: They really are, which is why the show works.

The Rookie follows John Nolan, a small-town man who embarks on a new career as an LAPD officer after a life-changing event. As the force’s oldest rookie, Nolan faces skepticism from superiors who view his pursuit as a midlife crisis.

If they were less danger magnets, the show wouldn’t be as fun.

Nolan brings her to Angela and Wesley’s wedding, although the event takes an unforgettably tragic turn.

The couple decides to expand their family and consider IVF treatment before landing on adoption.
