A brief recap of The Rookie season 7 episode 16
In The Rookie season 7 episode 16, The Return, the LAPD faces a series of personal and professional challenges. Seth Ridley returns to Mid-Wilshire after suing the city for wrongful termination, claiming his previous dismissal was based on a misdiagnosis of cancer by a corrupt doctor.
Despite skepticism from his colleagues, he is reinstated into the rookie program under Nolan's supervision. Others find it difficult to trust Seth, particularly after he spends his settlement funds purchasing a promise ring for Tamara.
But in a raid to catch a fugitive, Seth redeems himself by being shot while protecting Nolan and getting his leg amputated. This rescue earns him some respect even if his future as a law enforcement officer is still uncertain.
Meanwhile, Wesley and Angela investigate social media influencer Tulsa, who orchestrates a protest campaign against them. The situation escalates when Angela is harassed by Tulsa's fans at a park.
The harassment subsides after Tulsa's girlfriend leaks footage of him mocking his followers, effectively ending his influence and clearing Wesley and Angela's names. The episode also highlights Lucy's preparation for the sergeant exam and her evolving relationship with Tim, adding depth to the personal dynamics.
