Rookie Blue: Difference between revisions

* [[Funny Background Event]]: Nick and Gail stake out a beach to catch kids in a [[Scavenger Hunt]] (they're after the big pink umbrellas there). Nothing happens while they're there, but at the end of the episode they get drunk and kiss - and in the background a group of kids can be seen rolling one of the umbrellas away.

* [[Genre Savvy]]: During the 'scavenger hunt' exercise Dov realizes that the key part of undercover police work is to get a criminal to trust you and then being able to betray that trust to make an arrest. He does this in a very straightforward manner while Andy and Traci spend a lot of time creating new personae for themselves.

* [[Good Guy Bar]]: The Black Penny, where all the cops hide out after each episode.

* [[Interrupted Intimacy]]: {{spoiler|Sam and Andy}} get interrupted by his boss. Since he's undercover working for a very nasty drug dealer, this is not played for laughs.

* [[Meddling Parents]]: Superintendent Elaine Peck. She's actively trying to manage her daughter's private and professional life.

* [[New Old Flame]]: The new detective, Jo Rosati, that Andy has to work with the season 2 opener. Turns out she's {{spoiler|Luke's}} ex-partner, in more ways than one. At the end of the episode, she joins the 15th.

* [[Once an Episode]]: During Season 1, near the start of the episode there's a scene in the squad room, at the end of which the officer in charge says "Protect, Serve and (plot significant statement the rookies will not follow)". By the start of Season 2, it seems they are doing this off and on.

* [[One Dialogue, Two Conversations]]: When Dov and Chris promise to openly compete for everything, Chris is obviously referring to future promotions/transfers etc. Dov seems to have [[Love Triangle|something else]] in mind.

* [[Rescue Romance]]: Ensues between Dov and his new bomb-disposal squad girlfriend when she rescued him from a bomb-trigger trap.

* [[Sexy Mentor]]: Sam for Andy.

** The quote is actually from Andre Malraux, a French author and politician.

* [[Slice of Life]]: Despite the official genre being labeled as drama, it falls more into this category due to the fact that several episodes end on quite optimistic notes.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]: Andy has shot and killed a man, been shot, been spattered with the blood of a victim standing next to her, had to suspect her own father of murder, almost witnessed a suicide and much more, just months out of the academy, but has had no counselling beyond her friends and colleagues.
