“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
