Season-to-date, the Nathan Fillion-led ensemble series has been averaging more than 6 million total viewers and a 0.6 demo rating (with Live+7 playback), down just a hair from its Season 5 numbers — and while in a tougher time slot, now serving as the “hammock” between Tuesday’s new leadoff hitter, Will Trent, and the final season of The Good Doctor.

Out of the half-dozen dramas that ABC has aired this TV season, The Rookie ranks No. 3 in both measures (trailing only 9-1-1 and Will Trent in audience, and 9-1-1 and Grey’s Anatomy in the demo).

The Rookie, currently on a(nother) break until April 30, has four episodes left to air during this strikes-shortened season, leading to a finale that cast member Eric Winter told TVLine is, as is tradition, “big.”

“We always throw everything into a finale,” Sgt. Tim Bradford’s portrayer shared with a laugh. “There are a lot of reveals, and as far as Tim and Lucy (played by Melissa O’Neil)” — who when last we tuned in went through an abrupt and ugly break-up — “they get some fun stuff together” involving “another great action sequence.

“Everybody’s out for the team and supporting each other,” Winter continued, “and it ends in a really nice way. And as far as Tim and Lucy, it leaves a nice sort of, I wouldn’t say closure or a guarantee of anything, but it leaves it in a place where there’s stuff to talk about” in Season 7.
