The Rookie Trio Ponders Tim's Next Move ('He's Whipped!'), Fights Over Season 7 Highlights — WATCH

The following contains that spoiler from The Rookie's Season 7 finale, now streaming on Hulu.

A small, friendly fight broke on the the Disney Upfront's blue carpet when TVLine asked three stars of ABC's The Rookie to single out a favorite Season 7 episode, scene or guest star.

Deric Augustine, who joined the light procedural this season, emerged unscathed by showing some love for the episode that introduced his character, rookie officer Miles Penn.

Eric Winter and Richard T. Jones, however, grappled for dibs on guest star player Kiké Hernández, the pro baseball player who recently cameo'd as himself/a celebrity "gift" given to Sergeant Bradford by a suddenly rich Skip Tracer Randy.

Next up, I invited Augustine to name his favorite country-fried saying of Miles', and the Opelousas, La. native had one ready on the tip of his twisted tongue.

Then, with The Rookie's season finale airing hours later, I had to of course pick Winter's brain on what Tim's next move will be, after asking on-again/off-again girlfriend Sergeant Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil) to move in with him... only to realize she snoozed through his pitch.

Press play above for not just Winter's POV on #Chenford's future, but Jones' advice for madly-in-love Tim. (The Rookie returns with Season 8 in... early 2026.)
