Now, ABC (via TV Promos) has released a new trailer for The Rookie‘s upcoming April Fools’ Day special, which sees a Chenford hookup when Lucy arrives at Tim’s house. Later, it’s revealed the LAPD’s social media intern posted an April Fools’ joke that all crime is legal for the next three hours. This causes a crime spree to hit Los Angeles as the team deals with everything from petty criminals to a “potential mass casualty event,” which Tim speaks about over the radio. Check out the full trailer below:

A Potentially Game-Changing Special Episode
While April Fools’ Day means a rekindling of sorts for Chenford, the crime spree also means the characters in The Rookie will be dealing with their most dangerous night so far. The official social media account’s seemingly tongue-in-cheek post led to many criminals believing it to be true, with the trailer emphasizing the level of chaos in store. It’s a stark contrast to the more wholesome interaction between Tim and Lucy at the start, indicative of how quickly events are going to spiral out of control as the three hours carry on.
The episode comes in the wake of another problem, as a pregnant woman named Cassie (Molly McCook) on a hijacked bus in the previous episode was revealed to be working for Monica (Bridget Regan). The rogue lawyer is slowly closing in on the team, having orchestrated the hijacking in order to distract them from her goal of getting a law enforcement key card. Even though this event isn’t directly connected, it emphasizes the wild yet multilayered events happening to the LAPD, emphasizing their need for vigilance, especially during the new crime spree.
