Matt Roush

Matt Roush says...

What a rookie move it would be if fans have to wait until next season for Tim (Eric Winter) to propose to Lucy (Melissa O’Neil). While waiting for him to spring the ring on his beloved, the LAPD crew gets caught in the crossfire while transferring international crime boss Everett (Jeffrey Vincent Parise) to a downtown courthouse. Given that ABC has renewed the show for a ninth season, a cliffhanger isn’t out of the question.
