The Rookie Season 5 Ep. 16 Preview: Comparing Valentine’s Day Notes

With the team facing a nasty combination of a militia group named the Army of Freedom, a mobile drug lab that’s become a ticking time bomb, and a potential Ebola exposure, tonight’s episode of ABC’s Nathan Fillion-starring The Rookie isn’t exactly lacking in action & drama. But did we also mention that it’s Valentine’s Day… and it’s Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) & Tim’s (Eric Winter) first. Which would explain why he seems a bit on edge in the following sneak preview for tonight’s chapter. Of course, that whole “mobile drug lab” might also have something to do with feeing a little impatient regarding V-Day small talk…

Here’s a look at a sneak preview for this week’s episode of ABC’s The Rookie S15E16 “Exposed,” followed by a look back at the overview, promo, and sneak preview that were previously released. But before we get to that, just a quick heads-up that S05E17 is (ominously) titled “The Enemy Within” and is listed for February 28th (though there is still no official overview yet).
