John Nolan Decides How to Spend His 'Golden Ticket' - The Rookie

[@yohannjardiniano6726]

Honestly the golden ticket does more than just give him a pass to do the job he wants. It shows higher ups that his previous mistakes don’t put weigh the good he’s done. And him picking TO, which is arguably the most selfless choice someone could make, it shows the goodness of his character. Him using this doesn’t mean TO us all he’ll be. This could be the foundation that he creates his career on

[@JoybuzzerX]

It allows him to continue what the original captain wanted, older but fresher eyes and it allows him to teach the in others where younger cops would lack those ideals

Although if you ask me, they’re too strict with blocking people out with ONE reprimand as far as I remember Yes. Nolan made a mistake. But to me, if that blocked him being a detective, or from receiving promotions out of patrol officer, then it implies the higher ups don’t think people can learn from their mistakes. Which is frankly the WRONG mindset.

[@leocitywrestling7029]

If Nolan was any other rookie with a regular routine he would have taken Detective easy But given what he’s gone through before donning the uniform up to now, he knows how important a guiding mentor is having ridden with a multitude of TOs & Mentors as well as having met corrupted individuals in Stanton, Armstrong & the union president He now understands a TO can bring greater change to rookies when they start far greater than when they become established in the force Not to mention, he's a father which already makes him a natural 'mentor' as a TO Plus given the level of ‘excitement’ he goes through as a uniform, time in a suit won’t match up to it

[@blackdemonknight]

Yeah, in fact I think she sort of now thanks Armstrong for framing him which ended up blocking him from getting to become a detective because if he wasn't he may never have discovered that fact.

The sad thing is everyone was against him becoming a TO. He knew it was the right choice for himself and the department, not just himself. He wants to give the new rookies a better chance than what is available to them currently. Nolan is by far the most caring person in the department as it stands. He doesn’t seek glory and honor, he keeps a level head in so many stressful situations, and he will always have his team's back. He is far beyond deserving of that golden ticket and then some.

No...nobody's ok with that. But they can't get her right now...period. He knows that. But he also knows that means people are going to die. I'll guarantee he hates it...but dwelling on it and gnashing teeth and wringing hands over it isn't going to accomplish anything but making him worse at his job. It's not unlike Chess. You can't just pick up a piece and put it wherever you want to put the enemy King in Check. You make the moves you can make, until eventually you accomplish your goal. Today, Rosalind got her King out of Check. Now it's another game of moves until they get another shot at her. Blindly moving pieces all over in a vain effort to corner her would be counterproductive, and probably result in more deaths, not less. The point of telling Nolan that she'll lay low and only kill those who "won't be missed" is an effort to get him to not beat himself up over it and wait for the opportune moment to take her down properly. Because anything else will just make matters worse, not better.
