Since then,Aaron hasn’t been mentioned, not giving the character the exit that he deserved.

Both Oscar and Monica are still in the win.

Meanwhile,episode 4 was a highlight ofThe Rookieseason 7.

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.

However, in episode 4, the team learned that Harrison is a serial killer targeting young women.

They were able to arrest Harrison, who later showed the LAPD where he buried his victims' bodies.

So, another serial killer was on the loose, and he was formally introduced in episode 5.

Meanwhile, season 6’s overflow of forgettable antagonists bumped it to the bottom of the list.

So, it’s easy to see how much villains affect the story.
