This article contains mentions of drug overdose.
Officer Holt suddenly disappears after an incident in On Call‘s episode 3, making it hard not to wonder what happened to him. Introduced in the Amazon Prime Video detective show‘s opening episode, Holt is portrayed as a rookie officer in the Long Beach police department. Unlike Troian Bellisario’s Officer Harmon and Brandon Larracuente’s Officer Diaz, he is not one of the primary characters in On Call. However, he plays a crucial role in making Diaz a little concerned about his collaboration with Harmon by spreading rumors about Harmon’s involvement in another officer’s termination from the police force.
Throughout On Call‘s first three episodes, Holt also appears time and again as Harmon and Diaz deal with the day-to-day crimes in their neighborhood while trying to find Delgado’s killer. However, Holt’s journey reaches an abrupt end in the final moments of the show’s episode 3 when an unexpected confrontation during an investigation takes a violent turn. Since Holt does not appear on-screen after On Call‘s episode 3, his absence raises many questions about what happened to him.

The Attack On Officer Holt Shakes Up Diaz
In On Call‘s episode 3, Diaz and Holt return to the homeless camp they had previously visited to acquire new leads surrounding Delgado’s murder. However, this time around, they navigate the location at night, which significantly reduces their visibility and makes them more vulnerable to potential dangers. They use flashlights to ensure nothing catches them off-guard, but before they can react, a man suddenly emerges from one of the tents in the camp and attacks Holt.

Alex Diaz and Traci Harmon’s enemies target Diaz’s imprisoned brother in On Call, making it hard not to wonder why he was arrested in the first place.
The man quickly disappears after Holt fights back and Diaz arrives to his rescue. However, as soon as Holt gets up, Diaz notices a needle sticking out of his neck. He asks Holt not to panic, but to his shock, Holt suddenly falls to the ground, and his mouth starts foaming. Despite growing increasingly anxious and worried about his fellow police officer, Diaz makes the wise decision of giving Holt a Naloxone shot to reverse the effects of the overdose from the syringe. Moments later, other police officers arrive at the location and ensure Holt immediately gets the medical attention he needs.

Holt becomes one of the first few people Diaz befriends after he arrives at the police department to begin his training. The rookie police officer also advises Diaz to call for backup whenever he is unsure about the dangers of a situation and asks him to stay away from trouble. He also warns Diaz to be careful about working with Harmon, claiming that she previously got an officer fired. However, after making many appearances in On Call‘s initial episodes, Holt does not show up again after the episode 3 incident.

In episode 4, however, On Call reveals that Holt’s tests confirmed he did not get HIV from the needle, but his head was still messed up from the overdose. Given how Holt does not show up till the ending moments of On Call after episode 3 and is not even mentioned after episode 4, it would be safe to assume that he remained off-duty for quite some time while recovering at the hospital.
On Call follows veteran training officer Traci Harmon and rookie Alex Diaz as they navigate the aftermath of a fellow officer’s death and the complex politics of modern policing in Long Beach. The series highlights the challenges and dynamics within the department and on the city’s streets.
