My posts seem to suggest that there are only a couple of characters on Rookie Blue. Actually, there are many and each could be the subject of a good post.

Case in point: Staff Sgt. Boyko [played by Aidan Devine]
His most compelling scene [in my opinion] occurs when he is discussing a family violence/break and enter situation that spun out of control - with Andy right in the middle of it.
____________
A confrontation between a man and his stepson. The stepson just fresh out of jail, and looking for family jewelry to sell...for drugs.
____________
Staff Sgt. Boyko, a seasoned officer, discusses the case, in his office, with Andy. His instincts tell him that there is still a missing piece to the puzzle. Finally, Andy admits that she had forgot to load her gun at the beginning of her shift. [I do recall that during the crisis, Andy did notice that her gun did seem slightly lighter]

With this admission, the tone of the scene changes. Boyko drops some papers on his desk, and we hear compassion in his voice.
"It happens...that's why you have a partner."

The last scene image is of Andy. Quiet. Eyes glistening.
