Spoilers

ABC’s 'The Rookie' Season 3 finale was to end with a somewhat spontaneous wedding, but following a good finale recipe, the ceremony did not go as smoothly as we hoped for.  Pregnant bride-to-be Angela went missing on her and Wes' big day, not long after arch-enemy Sandra De La Cruz aka La Fiera’s prison transport was intercepted, with its dangerous occupant now on the loose. La Fiera was shown to be nabbed by an undercover Chen, whose cover was on the verge of being blown after meth cook “Nova” was introduced to and seemed to be familiar with the ascendant lady crime boss. After watching the anxiety-inducing Season 3 finale, millions of viewers are still waiting to see Angela and Wesley tie the knot after their big day was interrupted.
