Ep 6. Coming Home

In Rookie Blue season 3 episode 6, entitled "Coming Home," the officers of 15 Division are forced to confront the ghosts of their pasts as they investigate a series of deadly home invasions. The episode begins with a nervous Andy McNally (Missy Peregrym) returning to work from a week-long suspension, eager to prove herself to her fellow officers and make amends for the mistakes she made in the past.

When the first home invasion occurs, Andy and her partner Nick (Peter Mooney) are called to the scene to investigate. The victim, a single mother named Angie, is tied up and beaten but miraculously survives the attack. As the officers interview Angie and scour the scene for evidence, they discover that her troubled past and criminal connections may have played a role in the attack.

With the help of tech expert Chloe (Priscilla Faia), the officers are able to track down the suspects, a group of former gang members who have recently been released from prison. But as they close in on the suspects, Andy begins to have doubts about the case and wonders if they might have the wrong people.

Meanwhile, Detective Swarek (Ben Bass) is dealing with some personal issues of his own. His long-lost sister, who he hasn't seen in years, suddenly shows up at his doorstep. As the two reconnect and catch up on lost time, Swarek begins to realize that his sister may not be as innocent as she seems.

As the investigation heats up and tensions run high, the officers must confront their own fears and insecurities in order to solve the case and protect the innocent victims. For Andy, this means facing the consequences of her own reckless actions and learning to trust her instincts and her fellow officers.

In the end, the officers are able to bring the suspects to justice and close the case. But as they return to their daily lives, they are left with the knowledge that the past is never truly behind them and that sometimes, the only way to move forward is to confront the demons of the past head-on.

Overall, "Coming Home" is a tense and emotional episode that explores the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the power of confronting one's own past. With strong performances from the cast and gripping storytelling, it is a standout episode in an already great season of Rookie Blue.
