John Nolan Puts Himself Second - The Rookie

John (Nathan Fillion) gives some advice to a troubled teenager about finding a way to be better for the people who need you, but when Grace (guest star Ali Larter) tells him she wants to try staying in her marriage for her son, he's forced to live those words himself. Watch 'The Rookie' SUNDAY 10|9c on ABC.

Only Nathan Fillion can make a boring teachable moment endearing.

In this scene.
"Sometimes you have to put your needs and wants second. It's not easy, but for the people you love, it's worth it."
and then.
"Hey Nolan, I'm breaking up with you to put the needs of my son first."
"Damn you bitter irony to so thoroughly throw my own words back at me!"

Nolan keeps getting his heart broken, I feel so bad, Lucy, Jessica, and now Grace like dude come on give him some love

[jessica]

Grace was honestly my favourite out of all his love interests.She was smart, mature and absolutely gorgeous! I would love to have her back but I think the writers purposefully wrote her off the way they did, poor Nolan. Though I do think his new teacher is a potential interest.

[ToeTag]

I really like John's character and compass. Well written person who deserves his fake tv friendships and respect.

[Miss_christie]

It’s funny, because Nolan left grace to be a father to a son with his now ex-wife and now Grace is doing the same thing for the same exact reason.

[aliciam.g.]

I do not understand the writers of this series regarding nolan and grace and I explain:
They had an intense relationship in the past they break because they got their ex pregnant, 20 years later they meet again, it is obvious that the chemistry and the love between them still exists, little by little they get closer, and when they are together it turns out that he returns with his ex-husband for the son there are several chapters together to break. Why do the writers always screw up? They made a beautiful love story and it just so happens that in real life it happens ... I don't know if the writers did it this way to make fans of the series and of Nolan and Grace suffer or simply the actress leaves the series ... .

that's so sad love her and Nolan; Hope she's gonna come back in Season 3 (the show is gonna have a season 3 right ABC ? )

[ruggierip]

Great series hope another year and many more to come but guys John needs to feel that love ❤️ good guys can’t always come last pls

[Kenzie]

This broke meee. I loved them together 😟

[raephaelemasirnille]

A couple getting back together for the sack of their kid is so stupid. They broke up for a reason. It would make more sense to say we're still in love and want to reconcile. If the feelings are no longer there what is the point? Tim's girlfriend leaving town, yippee!!! Now Tim and Lucy can get together.

[RoyalMasterpiece]

Awwww man. I was shipping Grace and Nolan.

[shravanaragula]

Man one of my favourtie actora nathan fillion qhen he gets intense he is an awesome actor(great at comedy too)

[Em-fzeb]

Noo!! I understand that it's probably because of the actress leaving, but I loved Grace and Nolan. Hope John's next love interest actually sticks around for more than half a season this time, because I always get attached to these characters right before they leave lol

Don't stay in a bad marriage for the sake of the children. They're resilient and they'll bounce back especially when they are young.

[xlarissa]

I miss Grace! I hope she’ll come back one day

[CaliBoi]

Parents, never stay together for the sake of the kid/kids, it doesnt work and will only have resentment later in life when you realize you weren’t truly happy in the end.

[ciararyan]

I hope they get back together in the future

[brokenland]

I think that Tim and what's-her-face might be breaking up too, which if season three happens Tucy might be a thing!

I miss Grace, to me she was the best love interest for Nolan. She and him had a natural spark. I don't dislike Jena Dewan's character Bailey, she's fun in a way, but... I just don't feel her with him, plus the fireman side, meeeh. Soon enough they'll develop yet another spin-off about firemen rookies.
I wish Grace/Ali Larter to come back.
