Editor’s Note: The following contains spoilers for The Rookie Season 7, Episode 12.There are some folks who ride hard for April Fool’s Day, planning the most elaborate pranks. Now that social media has gotten in on the holiday, there are even more shenanigans that take place on this day every year. You would think that the Los Angeles Police Department would take themselves so seriously that no one would participate in the antics, but let’s just say that the Mid-Wilshire precinct in The Rookie is definitely the victim of some foolishness on April 1. While some of these pranks are fairly harmless, one does lead to a citywide crime event, à la The Purge. Despite the spree, this episode gives us another chapter in the Chenford romance, which makes all the April Fool’s pandemonium worth it.
