The extra scenes can be found by heading to the Extras tab on <em>The Rookie<\/em>&#8216;s Hulu landing page. <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/the-rookie-season-8-episode-10-recap-review-zombie-horror\/\" target=\"_blank\">This particular episode<\/a> features an abandoned hospital that gets filled with zombie-like people who have been accidentally poisoned by a chemical agent. John Nolan (<a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/tag\/nathan-fillion\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Nathan Fillion<\/strong><\/a>), Lucy Chen (<strong>Melissa O&#8217;Neil<\/strong>), and Nyla Harper (<a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/the-rookie-season-7-mekia-cox\/\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Mekia Cox<\/strong><\/a>) are chased through the grounds by these incredibly dangerous people (who seem intent on killing anyone in their path). <strong>The scene that Hawley extends in the unreleased footage features Harper noticing a body on the ground in the hospital<\/strong>. She starts to approach the body, but <a href=\"https:\/\/collider.com\/best-horror-movies-widescreen-space\/\" target=\"_blank\">the new scene features a wider shot<\/a>, so it appears that someone is actually watching Harper. This leads to an even greater feeling of unease for the viewer. Harper looks out the door frame into the darkness, right when a person comes flying out at her. This slight change makes the episode feel even creepier. But this scene with Harper isn&#8217;t the only addition to the original episode.<\/p>\n<div class=\"w-display-card-vignette\">\n<div class=\"cq-quiz\">\n<p>  <!-- STEP RADIOS --><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s0\" checked=\"checked\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s1\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s2\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s3\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s4\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s5\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s6\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s7\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-s8\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-step\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-step\" id=\"cq-sR\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <!-- ANSWER RADIOS --><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q1\" id=\"cq-q1a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q1\" id=\"cq-q1b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q1\" id=\"cq-q1c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q1\" id=\"cq-q1d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q1\" id=\"cq-q1e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q2\" id=\"cq-q2a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q2\" id=\"cq-q2b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q2\" id=\"cq-q2c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q2\" id=\"cq-q2d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q2\" id=\"cq-q2e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q3\" id=\"cq-q3a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q3\" id=\"cq-q3b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q3\" id=\"cq-q3c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q3\" id=\"cq-q3d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q3\" id=\"cq-q3e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q4\" id=\"cq-q4a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q4\" id=\"cq-q4b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q4\" id=\"cq-q4c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q4\" id=\"cq-q4d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q4\" id=\"cq-q4e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q5\" id=\"cq-q5a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q5\" id=\"cq-q5b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q5\" id=\"cq-q5c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q5\" id=\"cq-q5d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q5\" id=\"cq-q5e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q6\" id=\"cq-q6a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q6\" id=\"cq-q6b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q6\" id=\"cq-q6c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q6\" id=\"cq-q6d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q6\" id=\"cq-q6e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q7\" id=\"cq-q7a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q7\" id=\"cq-q7b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q7\" id=\"cq-q7c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q7\" id=\"cq-q7d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q7\" id=\"cq-q7e\"\/><br \/>\n  <input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q8\" id=\"cq-q8a\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q8\" id=\"cq-q8b\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q8\" id=\"cq-q8c\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q8\" id=\"cq-q8d\"\/><input class=\"cq-ans\" type=\"radio\" name=\"cq-q8\" id=\"cq-q8e\"\/><\/p>\n<p>  <!-- HEADER --><\/p>\n<div class=\"cq-slides\">\n<p>    <!-- INTRO --><\/p>\n<section class=\"cq-slide cq-sl0\">\n<div class=\"cq-intro-hero\">\n        <span class=\"cq-eyebrow\">Collider Exclusive \u00b7 Universe Personality Quiz<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"cq-main-title\">Which <em>Iconic Universe<\/em> Do You Belong in the Most?<\/span><br \/>\n        <span class=\"cq-subtitle\">Star Wars \u00b7 Lord of the Rings \u00b7 Harry Potter \u00b7 Game of Thrones \u00b7 Star Trek<\/span><\/p>\n<p>        <span class=\"cq-intro-body\">Five legendary universes.
