The Rookie Season 4 Episode 22 Review: Day in the Hole (TV Fanatic)

And it's doubtful that the drug pin would expect them to be making out in front of him or something. It wasn't as if they had to go undercover for an extended period of time. The squad's reaction to the uncanny resemblance between Tim and "Dim" was priceless. If we're going to see that we're boyfriend and girlfriend we might have to uh... We had to stretch the lines of credulity to make sense of Nolan and Navar taking out six armed men with automatic guns with two Glocks and a forensic geek using tai chi. We need to talk about the elephant in the room. And with a bunch of gunmen with machine guns lining up outside the diner, you would think they'd have gone for cover sooner. By now, it must be a running joke, and they know how annoying this is but love messing with us for kicks. They could've and should've taken everyone out with ease without even walking over the threshold. Nolan knows how to make the best out of a punishment. It's not to say that the hour wasn't entertaining; it was, however, it was nothing like one would expect. When the guy came in with that bribe, he should've known things would escalate beyond his control.

The Rookie season 4 finale: Chen and Bradford kiss -- finally! (CarterMatt)

We knew that The Rookie season 4 finale was going to bring us a surprise on the Chen - Bradford front, but we didn't see that coming.

Once you do just that, be sure to keep coming back for updates on the show and what the future holds. We spent the majority of the episode watching Nolan down on his separate mission, and we wondered through most of that when we would be getting back to what was happening on the Chenford front. They need to do that in the event that anything can happen later on down the road.

Ratings: The Rookie Dips With Finale, Despite Big 'Chenford' Tease (TVLine)

Get the latest TV ratings for the "Equalizer" and "Rookie" finales, Billboard Music Awards and more.

The Live+Same Day numbers reported in our ratings column do not reflect a show’s overall performance, given the increased use of delayed playback via DVR and streaming platforms, plus out-of-home viewing. Steve Harvey is not a judge or lawyer and merely offers an alternative forum of dispute resolution. Fox’s numbers are as follows: Duncanville (560K/0.1), The Simpsons (940K/0.3), The Great North (780K/0.2), Bob’s Burgers (970K/0.3) and Family Guy (1.1 mil/0.3). Over on CBS, 60 Minutes drew Sunday’s biggest audience (6.9 mil). The Equalizer (6.6 mil/0.5) dipped in the demo with its sophomore finale, while NCIS: LA (5.2 mil/0.4) and SWAT (4 mil/0.4) were steady. Leading out of Weakest Link (1.9 mil/0.3), NBC’s broadcast of the Billboard Music Awards slipped to new lows of 2.1 mil/0.5. Opening ABC’s night, AFV (4.7 mil/0.6) and American Idol (4.9 mil/0.6) were both down — yet shared the Sunday demo crown.

The Rookie's Finale Gave Chen and Bradford Fans a Chenford Kiss (CBR)

The Rookie fans are more than ready for Chenford to be a couple, and the Season 4 finale gave them a game-changing Chen and Bradford moment.

Chen and Bradford both acted like the kiss was strictly professional, but it was clear to all parties involved that it was much more. Nolan arrested the man at the top of the ATF's most wanted list -- but the next morning, a whole band of baddies showed up and tried to bribe him to release the suspect. Bradford started with a quick kiss, but Chen laid it on him. After "Dim" sang like a bird, the LAPD had all the information about who he was delivering the drugs to. As a play on their names, Chen decided to call the duo "Tim and Dim." Viewers immediately began speculating that The Rookie was opening the door for Bradford and Chen to finally become a couple.

Billboard Music Awards NBC Broadcast Falls To New Lows; 'The ... (Deadline)

There were a number of winners at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards but the annual ceremony didn't take home any primetime prizes on Sunday.

The Equalizer was about two-tenths down and about 11% short in viewers from its October premiere (0.7, 7.47M). A stable NCIS: Los Angeles (0.4, 5.19M) followed and S.W.A.T. (0.4, 4.00M) concluded the evening. CBS – After 60 Minutes was the season finale of The Equalizer (0.5, 6.62M). The Queen Latifah-led drama, stable from its previous episode, concluded Season 2 with a violent cliffhanger that leaves Robyn’s fate unclear. Later in the evening ABC’s The Good Doctor reaches its finale. AFV and Idol were both stable from the previous week and gained some ground in viewers. Fans of The Rookie will get even more of the series, considering it will return for a fifth season at ABC. The broadcaster has also picked up the spinoff featuring Niecy Nash to series. Speaking of audience, CBS’ 60 Minutes (0.4, 6.99M) once again nabbed the night’s viewership crown. See the full winners list here. ABC – Following AFV and American Idol, The Rookie ticked down in its Season 4 finale (0.3, 3.46M). The ABC cop drama was at least stable in the demo and up in viewers from its Season 4 premiere (0.3, 2.80M in September 2021. FOX – Fox’s animation domination slate – Duncanville (0.1, 0.56M), The Simpsons (0.3, 0.94M), The Great North (0.2, 0.78M) and Bob’s Burgers (0.3, 0.097M) and Family Guy (0.3, 1.05M) – was steady from the previous week Monday primetime will be kind of an odd one with Fox’s 9-1-1 shows coming to season finales, while NBC airs Downton Abbey and ABC presents up. Taking home the night’s ratings prizes were ABC’s America’s Funniest Home Videos (0.6, 4.72M)and American Idol (0.6, 4.86M), which tied for Sunday’s highest demo. Per fast affiliates, the 2022 Billboard Music Awards delivered an average 0.5 rating in the 18-49 demo and 2.11 million viewers across its three-hour broadcast on NBC, slipping even lower from the previous year’s fast affiliates (0.7, 2.8M). Sunday’s awards ceremony, set at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, saw Rodrigo take home seven wins, Ye come in second place with six awards and Drake continue his streak as the artist with the most Billboard Music Awards of all-time.

Spoiler Alert. ABC. [Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for Season 4, Episode 22 of The Rookie, “Day in the Hole.”].

For viewers who have been waiting for the pair to get together, it’s definitely a victory of sorts as they shared a quick peck at first before going all out with an epic smooch ( relive both kisses here). The episode ends before their operation is complete though, making us wonder — is #Chenford actually a thing yet? To make matters more interesting, Bradford’s lookalike has a girlfriend who is the near-clone of Chen, pulling her into the undercover operation as well. But when Bradford’s alias is offered the chance at another gig, Lopez ( Alyssa Diaz) chooses to continue the undercover operation.
