The Rookie‘s fall finale also left us with a second cliffhanger, in which Officer Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz) came home to find that her boyfriend Wesley (Shawn Ashmore), who has suffered from PTSD ever since a stabbing, had overdosed on a mix of anxiety meds and booze. “That’s the thing with relationships — we have the good, but we also have the hardships,” Diaz observes. “But that’s how we learn and grow and become better.”

Surveying Angela and Wes’ entertaining “Odd Couple” dynamic, the actress adds, “Everything about them is opposite, but I think their passion and their drive is what connects them.”

While one might worry that Angela will be distracted by her personal drama to help her colleagues search for Lucy, Hawley says that isn’t the case at all. In fact, Diaz excitedly reports that for one thrilling sequence she got to ride in a helicopter for the first time ever.)

“Actually, what has happened to Lucy ends up being something of a cathartic moment with Wes trying to help find her,” the EP teases. “It ends up being an emotional story for him, as well.”
