Episode Summary & Review

Summary

An April Fools’ prank on LAPD’s social media leads to citywide chaos. Meanwhile, John’s T.O. skills are tested, Wesley is assigned a challenging case, and Tim and Lucy play a joke on the team.

Our Take

A rare episode where the comedy actually lands instead of feeling forced. The prank fallout gets genuinely absurd in a fun way, and the Tim and Lucy bits are a nice payoff for longtime fans. Wesley’s storyline drags a bit and feels like filler, but the rest moves fast enough that you barely notice. Lighter than usual, but a solid, easy hour.
