Warning: Spoilers
I'm not sure if this episode just jumped the shark (or another shark), but I know it failed Nolan and his sworn duty as a police officer. John swore an oath to "protect and serve". That means protect the lives of innocent people, and serve justice when appropriate. In this case, Bailey was that innocent person. Only instead of being physically held with a gun to her head, while her attacker "threatens" to kill her, she was LITERALLY being murdered right in front of John's eyes. Nolan had a gun pointed directly at an ACTIVE murderer, and did nothing. He failed his oath, and he failed his duty. And if he can't fulfill those two things, then he shouldn't be a cop. I'll say it again, Rosalind was LITERALLY killing Bailey! Shooting Rosalind WAS the correct thing to do in that situation. They can spin it anyway they want to; so can viewers. But in my opinion, the show just let John Nolan down.
