The Rookie Season 8 Episode 16 Preview: Out Of Time
The team has to protect Liam Glasser, of all people, on The Rookie Season 8 Episode 16, “Out Of Time.”
Understandably, that’s the promo video’s primary focus. It looks like all of this starts because of a drive-by shooting that endangers Glasser’s life. Therefore, Nolan and, presumably, being his rookie, Miles become Liam’s bodyguards.
In the promo, Nolan says, “We will be providing around-the-clock protection.”
That means Miles has to listen to Glasser’s inappropriate and weird thoughts about Nyla. She calls the team later in the promo video to alert them that the shooter has been identified. However, it looks like more violence ensues because of (or perhaps, entirely unrelated to) that person.
It’s possible that The Rookie‘s promo video isn’t cut to match the timeline of “Out Of Time.”
It certainly doesn’t reveal any details about Celina and Lucy’s lead, or Angela’s opinions on Wesley’s new job.
Alternatively, the photos tease that Wesley and Sean will be working together. They also suggest there will be more developments with Grey and the FBI task force because Monica is around. Plus, Tim’s mom will stop by the station.
Here’s everything you need to know about this episode, including the air date, cast, promo, and how to watch.
