The Rookie Season 5 has focused on John Nolan but Crossfire reveals another character will take center stage for the rest of the season.
The Rookie has zeroed in on Officer Nolan. While Harper hd her baby and there is always the occasional Chenford tease But Season 5 has made a point of refocusing on Nolan as the series main character. The season reintroduced Rosalind Dyer who tried to turn Nolan into a righteous murderer. Then Nolan received his first assignment as a Training Officer and audiences have followed that plotline.
While Nolan will always be a major part of the series, The Rookie has evolved over the years into more of an ensemble show. Fittingly the season has started to widen its focus to include other characters. Season 5 Episode 7 Crossfire handed Wesley Evers a storyline that is seemingly going to have a huge impact on the rest of the season.
Back in Season 3 Detective Angela Lopez made friends with a drug queenpin known as La Fiera. They had a number of interactions as Angela tried to take her down. In the Season 3 finale she escaped from prison, took a pregnant Angela captive and fled the country. La Fiera wanted Angela's baby as repayment for the son she lost. During the Season 4 opener Angela is husband Wesley Evers put everything on the line and contacted a man named Elijah Stone to try and find his wife.
Elijah was a drug lord, career criminal and all around bad guy. He agreed to track Angela down, but Wesley had to agree be Elijah is personal lawyer. It wasn't long before Elijah came calling and made Wesley do several questionable things. Elijah was eventually arrested for drug smuggling later in Season 4. Now it appears that The Rookie will not only revisit Wesley is problematic storyline in Season 5 but make it the season's main plotline.
