The Rookie's new season kicked off last night.
Spoiler!
While it was a busy episode with more on Chen and Bradford under cover and their hard feelings for each other where they were actively going to cheat on their significant others.
And while they speed closed the whole John being denied his training officer test due to machinations by the Union that he pissed off and they closed it by giving him a golden ticket to do anything role that he wanted for his heroics at the end of last year. This whole episode was about the ongoing story of Rosaline Dyer. The serial killer genius who tried to kill Lucy and tormented her afterwards. Has a particular effection for John. And seems to be good at recruiting apprentices to do her work for her.
Dyer is just flat out great TV. She's everything that a serial killer should be. Brilliant, soft spoken, manipulative, and she see's nothing wrong with her particular style of evil. And she explained it well to her escort to court who later took a pen to the brain from Dyer's lawyer to aid her escape.
Quote:
Rosalind: Do you think I'm a monster, Deputy Suriel.
Suriel: It's not my job to decide. Do you think you're a monster?
Rosalind: No. I think I'm a genius. I just had to the misfortune of excelling in mutilation instead of music.

In the end Rosalid escaped, she murdered her lawyers parents to help her apprentice. Then tracked down and gruesomely slit Lucy's boy friends wrists and left him in Lucy's apartment. The discovery scene was exceptional as Lucy and Bradford were pretty much about to knock boots when we saw the boyfriend on the couch.
In the end Dyer in a private jet phoned Nolan as she took off, basically letting him know that she's not done playing with him.
she's just an awesome villain.
