The Rookie Season 5 - Blog Posts

Lucy's hand resting on Tim's heart!😍🫶

This is the exact post that The Rookie's 'X' then known as Twitter account had shared prior to the renowned 5X12 episode!😍

First appearance of them together in 2023

Last appearance of them together in 2023

"In a world of boys, he's a gentleman"

Tim Bradford is the kind of man Taylor writes in her love songs!😌😍❤️

In this very moment, Tim Bradford became absolutely sure that he wanted Lucy Chen to be the very first person with whom he wanted to share every single precious event of his life.😍 Thus, deciding she is IT for him.😌 Just look at the expression of content on his face.🥹

A year has gone when Lucy Chen "pretend" kissed her future husband, Tim Bradford and invited him in her apartment, by doing these she has inevitably altered his brain chemistry forever!😌 Since then little Tim-Tim has been a goner for his future wifey!🤭

"Basic Biology" and "What happens undercover, stays undercover" my ass!!!!😈

This domestic Chenford kiss always gives me butterflies.😍 They appear to be so blissfully content at this moment.🥹❤️

"I can watch you with unflinching eyes"

The way Tim looks at her, like she is the centre of his whole existence!🥹😍

Oh, this hug of theirs!🥰

It feels like they had been holding their breath until they could hear each other's heartbeat in their embrace!🥹

I guess I'll never get over this scene!🥹

The way Tim just knows what Lucy needs and just comforts her by hugging her and holding her close to his heart!🫶 And then the kiss on top of her hair is just 🤌

Nothing feels more romantic than taking a stroll with your partner's arm in your hands. This is a genuinely underappreciated form of affection.😍

Tim Bradford is definitely a 'thigh guy'!😈

I want to end the Chenford week on a happy note. Hence, here are a few beautiful domestic Chenford moments. Just the fluffy ones, because I am a fan of fluff.😌

Also manifesting the following parallels for these scenes in coming seasons❤️

1. The baby boots will be out again in Season 7/8, when Lucy is Mrs Bradford and she reveals her pregnancy news to Tim.🥹

2. A similar scene but for the next time they are cuddled up in her/his bed.🥰

3. When Lucy makes detective and Tim proposes her at the same time to make the moment even more special.😍

4. This time getting interrupted by the loud barks of Kojo who wants his parents' attention.🥹

Chenford + Lucy's apartment

I will never get over the fact that Tim went from not crossing the threshold of Lucy's apartment to possessing a key of his own for the same.🥹😍

PS: They have such beautiful scenes in her apartment. Domestic Chenford in Lucy's apartment is just 🤌

When two people get married they not only get married to each other but also become a very important part of each other's families. Thus the way Lucy recognises Tim's childhood trauma and comes to his aid by helping him coach his nephew's little league. As well as Tim agreeing to look after Tamara in Lucy's absence are so married couple moves. These are also forms of 'act of service' which is a very Chenford love language.😍🥹

Tim so meant it when he said, "Lucy is different."😍

Lucy is nothing like any of his exes. In the past, we have seen him struggle to give gifts to his exes. But with Lucy his heart just knows her so well that it becomes easy and he chooses the perfect gift for her.🥹🥰

This scene will always stay my favourite. Everything about this scene is just perfect.❣️

My girl here has already started planning grandkids, cause she just knows that she has found her soulmate. And Mr. Tough guy, doesn't object because he just knows that she is it for him.😍🥹

Okay, this view of mine is a tad bit controversial and super unpopular-

I am one of those who doesn't want the Rookie showrunners to make Lucy's character pregnant anytime soon. I guess 3 accidental pregnancies are enough for one show. I know that those storylines were included because Alyssa and Mekia were pregnant in irl. So, more power to them and it was very progressive of the Rookie to include their pregnancies rather than hiding. But those two characters were quite settled career-wise when they got pregnant. On the other hand Lucy is just trying to find her footings. She needs to move forward in her career before she starts a family and she is pretty young, maybe 30. And only because she and Tim have a very active sex life doesn't mean she would get pregnant accidentally. I mean we live in the 21st century with access to proper protection. Also, I see Lucy as a planner so it will be very OCC of her.

Moreover, I also want Chenford to have a proper beautiful wedding with no mishaps and then a romantic honeymoon before they take up the responsibilities of a child. I want them to discuss and plan having kids which is definitely going to ensue plenty of comedy and teeny tiny angst.

However, it's just my view and most of us live in a free world where everyone is free to express their own views. So, please don't hate me for mine.

Thank you.😊

So, the 100th episode of the Rookie will be Bailan's wedding. I have no issues if we get a Chenford dance as a couple and they end up kissing each other while dancing.

And I will literally die if we get Lucy/Tim looking at Bailen and saying "I want this someday and look at the other." Where the other person gives them a knowing smile.

I am definitely writing this!😎

As we are sure to get a Season Six, my only request to The Rookie showrunners is to give me a screencap similar to this. Except this time Tim should be dressed in a tux and Lucy should be in her white gown. The background can be either a beach or the Mid Wilshire police station's decorated parking lot. And of course all their friends surrounding them.😍

Aaahhhhh.... Not sure how I feel about this! My poor baby Lucy.😭

But loving protective Tamara. All hail to detective Tamara!😍

Oh, there was a time when I had given up hope and thought these two would stay and I 'd never get my Chenford.😭 But then The Rookie showrunners gave us episodes 5X05, 5X08 and 5X09. I couldn't be more grateful.🥹😍

My goodness, these three Rookie goddesses are not only pretty faces but also girlbosses!😍💪

I guess for Chenford's it will be

"Lucy, you deserve someone who's worth the effort."😍❣️

Awwww... Mel and Lisseth are so cute!🥰 They have such pretty hands.😍 I just love them.❣️

Now, I am scared! I once read a tweet speculation that maybe Tim & Isabel had a baby he doesn't know about. Maybe, she had given her for adoption or something but as she is clean maybe she got custody! I mean they have been foreshadowing kids since the last few episodes!😨😱

Hopefully I am wrong. Please let me be wrong. I really don't want to see any Tim kid that is not Lucy's.😭

Never thought I would hate Isabel but I do, oh I do.😒

NGL, I'm a tiny bit scared!🫣

However, they both look really good in this clip.😍 And Lucy is finally getting her much deserved promotion 🎊🎉🥳

What if Lucy invites Noah to her and Tim's wedding where he meets Genny and they hit it off. These two will make such a beautiful couple!😍

I will surely write this fanfiction someday.😌

So the angst era is here! Just hoping they don't break up and talk it out like they have done till now!😔

I'm pretty sure Tim and Lucy will have triplets just like Hicks, the metro sergeant before Tim. They will have 2 boys and a daughter. Their daughter will have Tim wrapped around her tiny fingers whereas their boys will be mama's boys.😌😍❣️
