One of the best things about ABC’s The Rookie is its ability to pair up characters in a way that feels comfortable, but also exciting and new. The procedural has been incredibly successful even after moving on from its original premise of John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) being a rookie officer in the Los Angeles Police Department. There have been several rookies that have joined the force and become skilled police because of the tutelage they have received from their training officers. This week’s episode switches things up by allowing one of its detectives to go back into the field with a rookie that still needs a lot of help. This creates a new partnership that feels familiar, yet still fresh.

‘The Rookie’ Throws Nyla and Miles Together on a Bank Robbery Case

We learned last week that Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox) has been demoted from detective because of her inappropriate conduct with serial killer Liam Glasser (Seth Gabel) last season. She is now being required to head back into uniform as a patrol cop, but to add insult to injury, she discovers at the beginning of Episode 9 that she’ll be working as a training officer once again. Her new rookie will be Miles Penn (Deric Augustine), who’s also fresh off disciplinary action from the department. Things are a bit uncomfortable from the start, as Nyla’s strategy to train Miles is to have him act as the training officer and offer guidance to her as if she were a rookie. Soon, they’re assigned to intercept two bank robbers, and this is when things get interesting.

The two bank robbers happen to be young women, both of whom have been shot. At the hospital, they learn one of the women has died from her injuries. Her girlfriend is in recovery, and Miles thoughtfully interrogates her (based on Nyla’s advice). She confesses that they robbed the bank because she’s over $200,000 in debt from student loans from Stanford. Miles and Nyla know there was a third robber, but aren’t sure who they are. The grandmother of the young woman arrives at the hospital when the police put the pieces together.

Meanwhile, a criminal we’re sick of returns for another heart-pounding episode.

The grandmother had actually robbed a bank back in 1983, and helped her granddaughter plan and execute this new heist. The elderly woman is arrested in front of her hysterical granddaughter, all the while insisting that the fact that the two girls couldn’t simply get ahead in life isn’t right. This is a fascinating case because the suspects aren’t your average bank robbers, and it’s even more entertaining because of Nyla and Miles’ new partnership. At the end of the day, Nyla accepts that Miles is her new rookie, and I’m excited to see even more scenes with these two characters working together.

‘The Rookie’ Season 8, Episode 9 Provides a Crossover with ‘Game Changers’

Episode 9 sees Nolan back with his old rookie, Celina Juarez (Lisseth Chavez). They head to the site of a different robbery, where they discover an improv comedy group has been robbed. This episode then becomes a crossover with Dropout’s Game Changer game show series, including an appearance by Sam Reich. The case actually offers plenty of comic relief for the episode, because the characters involved are intent on cracking non-stop jokes instead of helping Nolan and Celina solve the case. The cops discover that the criminal left his wallet while fleeing which jump-starts their investigation. Eventually, they learn that the wallet was lost inadvertently by an innocent man, and that Reich’s character actually set up a fake robbery for his show, which unsurprisingly turned into a real one. As someone who hasn’t seen Game Changer, these scenes were still silly and fun because of the actors’ commitment to the bit. The only loose end to appear in the episode is that Dash (Beckett Hawley), the drone kid from Season 7, shows up with the Game Changer crew. I don’t really have any idea why he’d appear in the episode, unless there’s a further storyline developing down the line.

There’s one other crime that gets investigated by the gang in this episode. Two people come into the hospital having been accidentally glued to each other. Lieutenant Wade Grey (Richard T. Jones) notices that they have firing pins from a handgun glued to their bodies, which leads the police to discover that they’ve been producing ghost guns. Celina and Lucy Chen (Melissa O’Neil) locate the criminals working on the ghost guns, as well as the epoxy that the couple used that led to their adhesion. They’re subsequently arrested, but it turns out that this extra case is not all that necessary to the episode’s overall narrative.

There’s More Relationship Drama in This Week’s Episode of ‘The Rookie’

Chenford does have a minor storyline in this week’s episode, where Lucy is chastising Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) about his failure to respond to his mom in their group chat. I’m not loving that Lucy basically comes across as a nagging girlfriend throughout this episode, and the conflict does feel a bit repetitive. I do appreciate that Tim’s mother is a callback to the prior episode.

The main relationship drama in The Rookie this week has to do with Wade and his wife, Luna (Angel Parker). Wade discovers that his wife is flirting with a new doctor at the hospital named Oliver Ashton (Charles Michael Davis). Wade even finds Oliver’s sunglasses in Luna’s car, which immediately raises his suspicions that his wife is cheating on him. Wade eventually asks Luna what’s going on, and she admits that while nothing has happened so far between her and Oliver, she does have feelings for him. This is a heartbreaking turn of events, but it is a nice change of pace to see Wade not completely in control of a situation like he usually is.

The episode wraps up with Nolan heading to comfort Wade, even though Bailey (Jenna Dewan) has come home from Washington D.C. for a quick 34-hour trip. I’m not excited to see Bailey back, and this split-second scene just furthers my opinion that her character doesn’t fit into the show’s narrative anymore. Despite this, the episode creates a nice balance of building up new partnerships while also still threatening some formerly solid ones.

New episodes of The Rookie air on Monday nights on ABC, with episodes available to stream on Hulu in the U.S.

This week, MrBeast’s reality competition show Beast Games is back at the top of Prime Video’s TV rankings with the recent conclusion of its second season. A game show that’s essentially an attempt to make a non-lethal real-life version of Squid Game, the series sees 1,000 contestants compete for a $5 million cash prize. The series has been pretty controversial and critically panned since it first debuted in 2024, but it’s also proven to be massively popular with Prime Video subscribers. However, in case you’re not one of those millions of fans, there’s still plenty of entertaining shows to watch on the streaming service. So, without further ado, here’s a look at three great shows that we think you should binge on Prime Video this week, including the perfect Bridgerton replacement for fans who are still reeling from that season finale.

‘My Lady Jane’ (2024)

In case the end of Bridgeton Season 4 has left you craving more gorgeous period dramas, My Lady Jane may be just what the doctor ordered. A historical romantasy adapted from the novel by Jodi Meadows, Brodi Ashton, and Cynthia Hand, the show was created by Gemma Burgess and reimagines the life of 16th-century noblewoman (and briefly Queen) Jane Grey, starring Emily Bader in the titular role. Edward Bluemel, Anna Chancellor, Rob Brydon, Jordan Peters, Kate O’Flynn, and more star in other key roles, with Oliver Chris narrating the story as the Author.

An imaginative and beautifully produced costume dramedy, My Lady Jane combines an exciting semi-historical story with fantasy elements, specifically shapeshifting humans called Ethians, which add further complications to its turbulent and unpredictable narrative. The show had its world premiere at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, earning critical acclaim, and was well-received by reviewers and audiences alike after its Prime Video debut, yet it was cancelled after just one season. Though the show may have been cut short ahead of its time, the one season it did get to do is a hilarious and entertaining watch, elevated by its performances, writing, and energetic rock soundtrack.

2

‘Reacher’ (2022–Present)

One of Prime Video’s most successful shows, Reacher is a crime series adapted from Lee Child’s Jack Reacher novels. Alan Ritchson stars as the titular hero, a former U.S. Army military police officer who travels the country running into various crimes and conspiracies that he thwarts using his formidable strength, skills, and intellect. The show also stars Malcolm Goodwin, Willa Fitzgerald, Maria Sten, Serinda Swan, Anthony Michael Hall, and more in notable roles.

Reacher’s first season debuted to great reviews and record-high viewership in 2022, and it’s been wildly popular ever since. Beloved by new audiences and novel fans alike, Reacher is a pulpy and entertaining series anchored by Ritchson’s charismatic lead performance. The show has had three hit seasons so far, faithfully adapting the novels Killing Floor, Bad Luck and Trouble, and Persuader, and a fourth season inspired by the novel Gone Tomorrow is currently in the works. A spin-off series focused on Maria Sten’s Frances Neagley is also currently in the pipeline and expected to be released sometime this year.

‘Chloe’ (2022)

Created by Alice Seabright, Chloe is a British psychological thriller miniseries starring Erin Doherty as Becky Green, a lonely young woman who’s obsessed with her estranged childhood friend’s suicide. Assuming a fake identity to investigate, she creates an exciting and addictive parallel life that’s better than her real one in every way, until she risks losing herself completely. Besides Doherty, the series also stars Billy Howle, Pippa Bennett-Warner, Jack Farthing, Akshay Khanna, Brandon Micheal Hall, Lisa Palfrey, and more, with Poppy Gilbert as the titular Chloe.

A gripping mystery thriller with themes of obsession, deceit, identity, and grief, Chloe was widely acclaimed during its original run, particularly for Doherty’s performance. While the plot can get a bit uneven, the series is an excellent and timely thriller overall, carried by the layered and entertaining central character. It’s a smartly written, brilliantly performed, and highly suspenseful story told over six bingeable episodes.

General Hospital 2-week spoilers for March 02 – 13, 2026 expect Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) make a major confession and Kristina Corinthos-Davis (Kate Mansi) absolutely rage.

General Hospital Spoilers: Monday, March 2nd: Chase Faces Consequences and Kristina Questions Fairness

On Monday, March 2nd, Brook Lynn Quartermaine (Amanda Setton) and Harrison Chase (Josh Swickard) find out something really upsetting. This could be about his future at the PCPD or possibly about their adoption plans. Nathan West (Ryan Paevey) talks to Brook Lynn and Chase up at General Hospital, and those two look very worried.

This may be about the PCPD situation. Ned Quartermaine (Wally Kurth) updates Chase on his heart condition, and he’s glad Ned is making his health a priority. Then he asks Chase about his priorities, and Ned thinks Chase’s loyalties lie with Willow Tait (Katelyn MacMullen) instead of his wife Brook Lynn. Chase is shocked and tells Ned he deeply regrets what he’s done and is going to fix it.

Will Brook Lynn Doubt Chase?

Tracy Quartermaine (Jane Elliot) talks to Brook Lynn, maybe about the Chase and Michael key incident, and asks if she knows for sure or just wants to believe it. Will Tracy have Brook Lynn doubting Chase’s innocence in planting it? Also, Kai Taylor (Jens Austin Astrup) gets an offer. Willow may want him to work for her like he did for Drew Cain Quartermaine (Cameron Mathison).

Also, District Attorney Justine Turner (Nazneen Contractor) tells Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Nathan the last lead was a bust. The key incident makes it nearly impossible for them to keep looking into Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) as a suspect, and Chase made the PCPD look bad.

Kristina was excited about Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) getting the job, and now she’s been passed over for Willow.

General Hospital: Laura Looks at Ezra

Laura Spencer (Genie Francis) sees a different side of Ezra Boyle (Daniel Cosgrove). Look for recast Patrick Lewis to take on the role of Ezra short term. He and Laura have another chat, and she may see Ezra’s just as trapped and under Jenz Sidwell’s (Carlo Rota) thumb as she is. The usual actor was stuck in an ice storm and couldn’t get to LA to film, so they needed a fill-in.

Laura asks Willow if she plans to use her position to settle her own scores. I’m sure she tells Laura no, but come on, of course Willow’s planning on that. Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) makes a choice, maybe about finalizing divorce from Portia Robinson (Brook Kerr). Trina Robinson’s (Tabyana Ali) parents come together to see her and they look tense. Curtis and Portia might be breaking the news to Trina that their marriage is one hundred percent over.

Wednesday, March 4th: Britt’s Vulnerability and Lulu’s Private Moment

On Wednesday, March 4th, Britt’s vulnerable and Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) sees. Britt might be really shaken. She may get an update from Lucas that they couldn’t get her meds. Britt’s under so much stress, she may crack wide open.

Lulu Spencer (Alexa Havins Bruening) and Nathan’s private moment is witnessed. Does someone see them kissing? Ava Jerome (Maura West) assumes the wrong thing, maybe about Sidwell or Lucas. Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy) grows suspicious. Of Carly? Josslyn may see her at Wyndemere.

Thursday, March 5th: Jason Supports Britt and Carly Gets Shocked

On Thursday, March 5th, Lulu makes a realization. She might realize she and Nathan were spotted. Jason is there for Britt. She’s got new hope with Lucas helping, but Jason’s going to dip out in a few weeks and won’t be around. But it’s not by choice. Reportedly someone takes him.

Jack Brennan’s (Chris McKenna) frustrations grow, maybe about Ross Cullum (Andrew Hawkes), Sidwell, or not finding Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart). Carly’s shocked. Is this at Wyndemere? It may concern her scheme with Valentin. Brook Lynn and Chase come up with a plan. This might be about their adoption dream.

GH Spoilers: Friday, March 6th: Brennan Demands a Favor and Maxie Makes Her Feelings Known

On Friday, March 6th, Josslyn needs to see Jason. This may be about Cullum, but could be about Carly. Brennan demands a favor. I bet from Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros). He may want payback for deleting Willow footage. Maxie Jones (Kirsten Storms) makes her feelings known. Is this about Nathan and Lulu?

or about the Deception ladies cutting a deal with Sidwell while she was comatose that’s bad for the company? Nathan’s completely honest with Liesl Obrecht (Kathleen Gati). I’m sure about the Maxie issue, but maybe about Lulu feels too. Trina gets a new opportunity that she embraces. Is this something to do with her parents?

General Hospital Week Two: March 9th-13th Spoilers – Willow Loving her New Power

During the second week, Willow revels in her new power. She hates being under Sidwell’s thumb, but Willow has no choice, so she’ll make the most of what he gave her. Michael’s going to be stunned and worried what this development could mean for him and the kids.

Lulu worries about Maxie’s reaction to her and Nathan. Will one of them tell Maxie like they planned, or does someone beat them to the punch and blab? Obrecht pushes back on Nathan. Liesl’s very stubborn and wants the Nathan and Maxie reunion.

Britt’s desperate to find her meds. She’s losing hope and will be devastated and scared when Jason vanishes. Marco is conflicted. He wants to help Lucas but is afraid of his father, Cullum, and Pascal. Lucas is in danger. Sidwell and Pascal are already prepared to kill Lucas. One of them might strike soon, especially if they think he’s manipulating Marco to turn on them.

Jason Leaving GH soon

It’s almost time for Jason to disappear. He’ll be back this summer—should be onscreen in July—and our leaker said he’s kidnapped by someone other than Sidwell or Cullum. Drew’s in deep despair. Between Willow and Sidwell, he’s completely trapped. But if Kai’s around working for Willow, he might help Drew.

Sonny wants to get closer to Justine. She’s fighting her feelings hard, but if Sonny kisses her again, she might not slap him. Trina and Portia rebuild their relationship. Trina’s getting excited about the baby.
