“This is a relationship on[[The Rookie]that I really like as it is indeed solid. It’s not rocked with drama and tribulation. Certainly, life throws curveballs, and you have to face those tribulations, those trials. You have to face them as a team. but I think Nolan and bailey are a fantastic team. I think they have found happiness with one another, and I think it’s a strong relationship,” Nathan Fillion just told TV Insider of his character’s marriage … and now the Monday, january 26, episode (the first after a major schedule change) leaves things very much up in the air when it comes to their future.
Bailey’s (Jenna Dewan) old captain, Russ, meets with the couple to discuss a new possibility: He’s putting together a think tank at the Pentagon, focused on updating battlefield medicine, and she’s the first person he’s asking to be part of it. At first, she seems fine with passing on the opportunity, which would mean relocating to D.C.; she agrees with Nolan that their life’s perfect as is. However, as Nyla (Mekia Cox) and Angela (Alyssa Diaz) make him realize, that’s not exactly 100% true. “It might be a non-starter for you,but I guarantee your overachiever of a wife is seriously thinking about it,” Nyla tells him. She also has experience in D.C. from her joint ops days and doesn’t paint a pretty picture of what a transfer to D.C.police would entail: Being a cop means a lot of crowd control around government offices.
Russ then stops by to appeal to bailey one last time (while Nolan’s at work). While she may not be a doctor or a scientist, he knows that she won’t rest until she’s looked at a problem from every angle twice before
