The Rookie is getting help from a very familiar officer in the Monday, February 2, episode. Tru Valentino returns as Aaron Thorsen; he exited ahead of Season 7.

The promo for Season 8 Episode 5, titled “The Network,” reveals Thorsen’s return. The logline reads: “Lieutenant Grey [Richard T. Jones] and the FBI task force enlist the help of an old colleague to uncover a criminal network; while Nolan [Nathan Fillion], Miles [Deric Augustine], Lucy [Melissa O’Neil], and Celina [Lisseth Chavez] respond to a mysterious officer involved shooting.”

The explosive promo reveals why Garza (The Rookie: Feds‘ Felix Solis) brings in Thorsen for the investigation. “My team has been chasing a private phone network used by the biggest heroin trafficker and a man you were incarcerated with,” he explains. “I would like for you to reconnect so we can bug the network and spy on all their calls.” But Thorsen warns that man is “a smart dude. He’s going to get suspicious.” And it certainly looks like that’s the case. Watch the video above….
