The Rookie Season 8 Episode 6 Preview: Burn 4 Love
Valentine’s Day is here early thanks to The Rookie Season 8 Episode 6, “Burn 4 Love.”
The episode appears to get its title from a call to which Nolan and Miles respond. The promo video suggests that someone starts a fire as a result of something related to the holiday. That theory corresponds with the episode’s description that reveals someone “is setting more than hearts on fire.”
Elsewhere, Lucy is looking for “the perfect Valentine’s Day gift” she got for him. It’s challenging to decipher who she’s on the phone with in the promo video.

Maybe it’s Celina, and Lucy is trying to see if she happened to leave Tim’s gift there after moving out. Either way, Lucy’s persistence to find the gift will likely only be amplified by Tim saying, “You are gonna love what I got you.”
Meanwhile, things still appear rocky between John and Bailey after he definitively tells her that he doesn’t want to move for her job offer on The Rookie Season 8 Episode 5, “The Network.”
Plus, Angela is by Wesley’s side as the DA race gets more intense. From the pictures, it looks like “Burn 4 Love” will feature a campaign event (Wesley says, “I believe everyone deserves justice.”) that takes a dangerous turn.
Luckily, The Rookie‘s promo video makes it seem like Celina is among those who will step in when a man, wielding a knife, charges Wesley and calls him a liar.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
