From history, ABC has NBA finals during june, pre-empting summer shows for a few weeks, so they start Rookie Blue on the penultimate week of may so the 13-episodes season can finish on the 2nd week of september (with a July 4th rerun when applicable).
With Rookie Blue starting July 17, without interruption, the season will end Oct 9th... Probably giving more maternity leave time to Scandal's Kerry Washington. On another note, sept-oct episodes will run against CBS football...
