The Rookie S06E10 Promo; Hawley, Fillion, Cox Tease Season Finale
Along with a promo for S06E10: "Escape Plan," The Rookie creator Alexi Hawley and Nathan Fillion & Mekia Cox drop some season finale teases.
It's not like fans of ABC & Alexi Hawley's Nathan Fillion, Eric Winter & Melissa O'Neil-starring The Rookie need more reasons to stress next week's Season 6 finale, S06E10: "Escape Plan." I mean, it's a season finale – and while you can occasionally find that "unicorn" season finale where everything gets wrapped up on a promising note, more often than not? It's a jaw-dropping cliffhanger that leaves fans obsessing for answers before the final credits have even rolled. Thanks to Disney's Upfronts presentation this week, fans were able to hear what Hawley, Fillion, and Mekia Cox had to share about the season finale – and they had some interesting teases to drop. In addition, we included the promo for "Escape Plan" (above) and the behind-the-scenes images from this week's episode, "Squeeze Play" (below).
In the first clip, Fillion & Hawley discuss what makes Monica (Bridget Regan) such a great "big bad" before confirming that we will see Bailey (Jenna Dewan) before the season ends. That led to Fillion discussing how much he's been appreciating the storyline with Nolan & Bailey, followed by Hawley confirming that Tim (Winter) "will come off the bench in time for the finale" – but notes that there will be some "obstacles" along the way. As for what viewers can expect from the end of the episode, Hawley teased that there will be "hope" – and then a "cliffhanger." Fillion added, "He [Hawley] likes to upset people with cliffhangers at the end of seasons. That's the fact."
Following that, Cox (Nyla Harper) discusses how her off-screen friendship with Alyssa Diaz (Angela Lopez) translates into their character's interactions. From there, Cox shares that the season's final episode will be "intense," with "a lot of action" and more (even an explosion?), noting that it's probably the biggest season finale yet – and teasing that a "familiar face" might just be showing up. Finally, Cox explains how much she has been enjoying being able to wear her hair the way that she's wanted to – and how being a detective on the show helped make that happen.
The Rookie Season 6 Episode 10 "Escape Plan": SEASON FINALE – Sgt. Grey (Richard T. Jones) helps the team prepare for their biggest mission yet. Meanwhile, Aaron (Tru Valentino), Lopez (Alyssa Diaz), Celina (Lisseth Chavez), Tim (Eric Winter), and Smitty (Brent Huff) discover a surprising connection in their case.
