Is there something off with Seth in The Rookie Season 7? Speculations explored 

The Rookie Season 7 introduced two new rookies in the police procedural, Patrick Keleher's Seth Ridley and Deric Augustine's Miles Penn.

While new cast member additions are always welcome, there was something unusual about Seth, which the fans have noticed.

Since his introduction, Seth has shared multiple sob stories about his past, which makes one wonder if he is down on luck or if he is cooking these stories to gain sympathy from Lucy and the team.

Earlier, when he threw up at a crime scene, he revealed how his girlfriend died of an overdose. But later, when investigating a car wreck, Miles jabbed him about a mistake, and he again had a story that his girlfriend died in a car accident.

The latest episode saw Lucy finding something about Seth, but is this it, or is it just the tip of the iceberg, and the team is about to learn a dark secret about Seth's past?

More on Lucy's discovery about Seth in The Rookie Season 7 in our story.

Lucy finally digs deep into Seth's past in The Rookie Season 7 Episode 5

Lucy quickly noticed the discrepancies in his stories, but he explained that they were two different girlfriends. In addition, Seth has also told the squad that he had cancer, which is now coming back.

Still, the discrepancies in Seth's stories about his two girlfriends tipped Lucy off and she went to his high school to dig into his past. After talking to his guidance counselor, she learns that Seth never even had two girlfriends, let alone with such tragic backstories.

This was enough to make Lucy suspicious, because why would anybody lie about such specific details about their lives? On confronting him, Seth reveals that those stories were indeed lies because he is a pathological liar, who lies when put under pressure or when he makes some mistake.

This explanation seems genuine because all of his stories came at a time when he made a mistake. He promises Lucy that he is working on this problem and she will not have to worry about it in the future, but how can she trust him again?

Is Seth hiding a dark secret in The Rookie Season 7?

Since his introduction in The Rookie Season 7, fans have noticed something unusual about Seth, which finally caught up to Lucy too.

Many fans on Reddit believed that he is a compulsory liar who lies because he does not want to be accountable for his mistakes, which is partly true from what Lucy found out in Season 7. While this does not seem too harmful for now, Seth might be a danger for real.

Earlier, fans also believed that he was in witness protection or working on some secret project for the Academy, which is why he could not get his stories straight.

Lucy's hunch was right in The Rookie Season 7 as she dug out something about him, which also poses questions about Seth's illness. As he told the squad earlier that his cancer is coming back, one might wonder if that is the case or if it is another sob story cooked to cover up his inefficiency.

Episode 5 has surely opened the gates for Seth's storyline, and Lucy will have a hard time trusting him now. Since she has shared her fears with Tim now, likely, he will also team up with Lucy to find out if Seth is hiding some sinister secret.
