Nolan Vouches For Harper to Her Ex - The Rookie

Det. Nyla Harper's (Mekia Cox) ex is upset at her for taking their daughter during a bomb threat, but Sgt. Grey (Richard T. Jones) and Nolan (Nathan Fillion) defend her. Watch 'The Rookie' SUNDAY 10|9c on ABC.

Nolan always and i mean ALWAYS stood up for his people, he first stood up for Bishop towards CHEIF now Harper towards her ex. He is the best

[DramMusc]

Nolan came in to back up Harper the same way he stood up for Bishop. A true hero.

Even Grey at the end is like "Nope im out, cant be crying in front of my officers" 😂😂😂😂

I don’t care what you say Nathan Fillion is one of the most overlooked actors in Hollywood that man can deliver his lines like they weren’t written for him like it’s coming out of his mouth naturally

I like how in his defense of her Nolan makes mention of her arrogance just to make her aware of a noticeable flaw. Basically he was saying, "Despite you behaving like an arrogant prick I and every other officer will always have your back."

I really loved Bishop. Never thought Harper will fill her shoes so well.

Nolan earned Bishop’s respect by having her back. He earned Bradford’s respect showing up to work despite a hit called out on him in season 1. And now this. Which is why Bradford endorsed Nolan for Union Rep because he has the back of everyone in the department.

The depth of the characters backstory and the way each actor, main or secondary, impersonates his, are for me the biggest assets of this show. Can't get enough of The Rookie!

Lol Sergeant Grey was about to cry that is why he walked away so fast. Can’t tell if that was the intended reaction or the actor genuinely tearing up and the director choosing to keep the moment in the show.

What I like about harper is, she is depicted as a very strong woman, but not actually toxic. Stubborn, yes, but that is a flaw that makes her well written. She shed a single tear and instantly tried falling back behind her mask. When nolan was confused after learning bailey was married, harper didn’t sugarcoat it or smth, she was real with him and told him it was essentially a lie. But she didn’t push him to breaking up. Harper was always genuine and let him into her space. I miss bishop, but i am happy we got harper as replacement.

What I love bout this scene is both Nyla & Nolan are learning each others expertise

Nyla training Nolan to be a cop
Nolan helping Nyla to be a parent

And the last bit all 3 cops (Nyla, Nolan & Grey) are parents

[ryansaxe]

love how grey sheds a tear then walks away😭

[fivefive]

And this is why Nyla calls any other rookie “not Nolan”

[nbulav]

I think what I love about this scene the most isn’t just Nolan standing up for Harper, but the fact Grey is there as well, they know more than anything they’d do anything for their kids, they’re both fathers as well, they know very well

[darrenheadrick]

Time and time again, John has shown every other cop at Wilshire he's earned the right to be there wearing the badge. Including the Captain during the first season and SSgt. Grey.

Nice, standing up for his partner just like he did with Bishop in the previous season.

Sousa?!? What are you doing outside of S.H.I.E.L.D.?!?!?

[karenabusaleh]

Mekia Cox was awesome in this scene!! So believable!! So emotional and touching!!

[enjoyingmyvodka]

Nolan has a huge heart and I get her husband anger but he also seems to forget that it was her job and it’s demanding and the effect it has on those doing it is massive. Harper is a great mom

I just watched this episode just now as it just aired last night (Thursday February 20, 2020) here in the U.K.

Nolan is so the man because what he said came from being a middle-aged man who’s been through a divorce, had a kid and now his kid’s grown arse man and understands the importance of parents/children/family.

In short with age comes experience and I think he pieced together pretty quick what was going on because he found out what type of solicitor that guy his TO was talking to was.

I love the show and the best part was even Grey shed a tear can we just talk about that for a second.

The show just fucking rocks 🤘
