[Whimsy]

Quote

A mysterious caller threatens to reveal a leaked list of undercover FBI agents if a prisoner is not released. After an exposed agent is mortally wounded, the team identifies the caller and heads to the Port of Los Angeles to secure the release of the prisoner. Later, Simone enlists John Nolan to help her remodel Cutty’s garage into a living space; and Brendon, ready to confess his feelings to Antoinette, discovers she has feelings for someone else.

Some Highlights from the Crossover Event:

The Rookie: Killing Nemo

The Rookie Feds: Assault with a deadly bedpan.

I am not sure how all these questionable "watch list" people can easily go back and forth across the U.S. border to buy serious weapons.

Man, I was so rooting for the undercover guy to make it!! That was so sad he didn't. I'm very glad they got all the bad guys though.

It's really too bad they made Tracy so hatefully, backstabbingly evil in the beginning, cuz I like the actress but it's hard for me to get past that.

Come on! Garza gets released like a day later??? Insane!!

Yes, I found Garza being released so soon after heart surgery suspect but heck, hospitals aren't necessarily known for keeping people long.

I've known a few coworkers who had heart surgery, and one day is ridiculous. 
Maybe that was supposed to be comic relief???

I don't think it was comic relief.  I think it was just standard TV laziness and not following how things tend to work in the real world which is pretty much TV/movies in general.

Nobody thought of sending the rebel affiliated lawyer in to the prison to make him an offer for the codes that couldn't be refused? The premise that he felt safe in prison as if a hit couldn't be contracted there has been dead for almost 100 years.

As a new show needing to introduce things like the antagonist SAC the episode dragged compared to the mothership's tighter manhunt. It might have played better on different nights than sticking around for the two hours. Especially when the loose end was "shockingly" taken out by a pick up truck moments into the episode.
