Amongst the chaos, events seem to push Avery (Phillipa Soo) and Tristan (Sean Teale) together, although Avery’s decisions about her pregnancy remain undecided. As for Brooke (Adrianne Palicki) and Billy (Kurt Yaeger), the show teases the possibility of their return to the show at some point in the future with Captain Massey (Don Johnson) impressed with the young man’s quick thinking under pressure and the chemistry between Max (Joshua Jackson) and Brooke acknowledged but still not yet acted upon.

  • IMDb: link

That officer’s name was Xavier Quinn (Brian Tee).
