Det. Nyla Harper's (Mekia Cox) ex is upset at her for taking their daughter during a bomb threat, but Sgt. Grey (Richard T. Jones) and Nolan (Nathan Fillion) defend her. Watch 'The Rookie' SUNDAY 10|9c on ABC.
And starting from this point Nolan gained respect from Harper. So much so that next episode Chen become victim of Harper's antique calling her "Not Nolan"
I like how in his defense of her Nolan makes mention of her arrogance just to make her aware of a noticeable flaw. Basically he was saying, "Despite you behaving like an arrogant prick I and every other officer will always have your back."
I felt it was for authenticity, to show her ex he understood her issues better than he thought, and prove that he was talking to him man to man and not sucking up to his boss. Her honesty is not reliable, so having a third party speaking credibly changed the situation.
I don’t care what you say Nathan Fillion is one of the most overlooked actors in Hollywood that man can deliver his lines like they weren’t written for him like it’s coming out of his mouth naturally
The depth of the characters backstory and the way each actor, main or secondary, impersonates his, are for me the biggest assets of this show. Can't get enough of The Rookie!
Lol Sergeant Grey was about to cry that is why he walked away so fast. Can’t tell if that was the intended reaction or the actor genuinely tearing up and the director choosing to keep the moment in the show.
@Yellow Birb the scene was very well done especially Fillion's delivery of dialogue and both the kid and the actress who plays Harper's reaction. I think the actor who plays Grey felt genuinely emotional by the intensity of the scene because custody battles between parents over a kid is not a frequent thing just illustrated on tv but happens frequently in real life as well.
@Aspire Tenacity Gaming Kaley Cuoco was actually trying not to cry during the I love you scene in BBT. Naya Rivera actually cried during The Quarterback episode of Glee. Actors can and do actually cry during emotional scenes even if it isnt called for it.
From what I heard Sgt. is very sensitive & respectful in real life. He hated acting like I jerk Tyler Perry movie why did I get married 1 & 2. He would apologize to them women on set after every scene
What I like about harper is, she is depicted as a very strong woman, but not actually toxic. Stubborn, yes, but that is a flaw that makes her well written. She shed a single tear and instantly tried falling back behind her mask. When nolan was confused after learning bailey was married, harper didn’t sugarcoat it or smth, she was real with him and told him it was essentially a lie. But she didn’t push him to breaking up. Harper was always genuine and let him into her space. I miss bishop, but i am happy we got harper as replacement.
What I love bout this scene is both Nyla & Nolan are learning each others expertise Nyla training Nolan to be a cop Nolan helping Nyla to be a parent And the last bit all 3 cops (Nyla, Nolan & Grey) are parents
Nolan earned Bishop’s respect by having her back. He earned Bradford’s respect showing up to work despite a hit called out on him in season 1. And now this. Which is why Bradford endorsed Nolan for Union Rep because he has the back of everyone in the department.
I just watched this episode just now as it just aired last night (Thursday February 20, 2020) here in the U.K. Nolan is so the man because what he said came from being a middle-aged man who’s been through a divorce, had a kid and now his kid’s grown arse man and understands the importance of parents/children/family. In short with age comes experience and I think he pieced together pretty quick what was going on because he found out what type of solicitor that guy his TO was talking to was. I love the show and the best part was even Grey shed a tear can we just talk about that for a second. The show just fucking rocks 🤘
Time and time again, John has shown every other cop at Wilshire he's earned the right to be there wearing the badge. Including the Captain during the first season and SSgt. Grey.
Watching this episode now and it always gets me. Mekia and Nathan are magic together! I love the friendships of Nolan/Harper and Angela/Tim! So geniune!
Nolan has a huge heart and I get her husband anger but he also seems to forget that it was her job and it’s demanding and the effect it has on those doing it is massive. Harper is a great mom
Big fan of Nathan Fillion (Firefly_Serenity_Castle) but have NEVER watched a single episode of The Rookie - I recently got Hulu and stumbled across The Rookie and watched S1E1 _ two weeks later I was totally caught up through season 6! WTH How did I miss this ..what a great show!
At first, yes, but she is his TO so it is not possible for a romantic relationship there. Later on, no, Nyla storyline become a hot mess with ex husband, new boyfriend, new baby. Also there already a romantic relationship between TO and ex-boot (ChenFort)
i genuinely wait anxiously every week for this show, it quickly became the best show airing right now for me P.S.: and Yay, i guessed right, it was Enver Gjokaj
Nathan Fillion's voice lands on the natural "dead zone" where it's possible to attach any emotion from cold detachment to heartfelt compassion to towering fury all from the perspective of the listener and the scene in question, with him barely making any effort to change his voice at all. That's why its easy for him to make such a convincing scene from the watcher's viewpoint.
Its really too bad they ended the whole BIshop and Nolan team thing. They had great chemistry and could even seen and end series relationship but they ended the character because axed the actress over so called online bullying like Brie Larson and Now Gina Carano is getting
For a split second I thought that to. However, Blue is recessive. Human have two eye genes, one from each parent. Both parents could have a brown and blue eye gene, so only brown shows up, but if she got both parent’s blue gene, she would have blue eyes
@@Megumareta might as well also include albinism, rare genetic disorder, or new satellite or point mutation if we want to discuss how this fictional situation could occur. The rate of recessive blue inheritance and penetrance is lower than usual darwinistic pattern suggesting allelic linkage. So for a recessive carrier in an African American individual, it would be very rare. I really meant to discuss in terms of how pretty it was tbh.
@@ReportTheHackers In the end, it doesn't really matter what her parents have. She can be genetically influenced by any number of generations going back. It could come from a great-great-great grand daddy. We just never know.....
You know I respect the father's position in this scene. Just because we are rooting for Harper and want her to make things work with her daughter doesn't mean the father's position here is unjustified. If I were informed about a pending missile strike and couldn't find my daughter I'd be frantic and out of my mind. If I found out that my ex wife who is absolutely not supposed to have any unsupervised contact with our daughter was the one that took her, I'd be pissed too. That's good writing right there.
