In Season 3 with officer Willie Gillis now gone and replaced by new officer Chris Owens, how was Gillis' departure explained? Does anybody know? I believe seeing way back then an episode where Webster was telling someone that Gillis had gone back to talk to some guys and they had beaten him up and that he had suffered from the beating! But I'm not sure if this is correct! If someone knows how exactly was this explained. Just wondering!

According to Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rookies), Ontkean decided to leave the show and it doesn't mention how this was resolved, plotwise.
shareIn epi #1 of Season 3,Danko and Webster are reading a letter from Gillis,where he tells,that he went back in his hometown to work there as a cop and that he enjoys having a better relationship to his father and met his former high school love interest!
shareYes that ep just aired today on Decades. They handled his departure plus introduced Bruce Fairbairn quite smoothly.
