She stopped herself because I really believe it was the first time she has even admitted it to herself, and she realized it just before she finished it. These writers and actors are so spot on......love these two.
YEA!!!!! I agree with you 100 %!!!!!!!! AND I do think, as she said, "FEAR" was what kept her from being honest with herself. I said somewhere else, even in the "REAL WORLD", often others can c that 2 ppl have feelings for the other b4 they do!!!!!!! Tbh a part of me is mad at Chris more than Ashley, though I was MAD & couldn't believe how selfish she was, to break up with Tim right after a major surgery. I still remember Tim's disbelief when he said, "Are u breaking up with me. I just got out of surgery." AND I also felt she was selfish, when after Tim is out of surgery, she couldn't suck it up. Tim could c something was bothering her & asks her if she's alright. AND she says, "No." I thought REALLY, you're making him console you right after a major surgery. NOW don't get me wrong, BUT I was ALSO THRILLED that she was gone, when Lucy came. I JUST don't quite get how Chris could be SO DENSE & see that Lucy & Tim had feelings for each other. I just honestly, didn't feel overly bad for him. AND how he was treating Tim ALL DAY was weird. Wesley was so much better!!!!!!!
Hope we have more new season of the rookie because how we seen future of Chenford relationships as couple etc. Hope the casts don't leave the shows because fews shows I seen there were cast (actors and actress) left the shows....
"He's just not YOU." I know there were bigger moments than this scene but I can't stop thinking about it. The problem was, Chris isn't Tim. It's just a little off-hand comment, barely a sentence but it packed a punch. At least for me. Nobody she's dated has been good enough because they weren't HIM
IT TOTALLY DID FOR ME TOO!!!!!!!! I was surprised that Tim didn't realize that Lucy just admitted why she DIDN'T love Chris?!?! When she said, "HE'S JUST NOT...." She looked RIGHT AT HIM, when she left out the YOU!!!!! BUT...Tim was looking straight ahead at that moment.
0:31 This aligns very well with Lucy's character development from S1. Starting with the serious (her words), but short-lived relationship with Nolan. She said in S1E4 that _"being a cop is the first thing I've ever been serious about. And you were the second."_ So she was never serious about any relationship before (all 3 were reportedly "really bad"). It tracks that she would concentrate on her training, that she'd treat the relationship with Emmett with a lack of seriousness, and also was just looking for a companionship and a companion in Chris rather than a passionate or romantic relationship.
Anyone else feel that In that scene she was saying “he’s not you”. The way she looked at him after saying “he’s not” totally gave away what she was feeling.
OMG this is so beautiful - brilliant editing - you got me very emotional. I love everything about it especially how you showed Lucy putting in the effort with Tim because they both deserve someone like that. I’m so happy that they both decided to be brave and realise that love is always worth the risk and what a beautiful love they share.
By the way, I thought the giant Stop sign behind Chris’s shoulder when he was speaking to Lucy about their relationship and asking her to move in with him was hilarious. And then there was a circular sticker right by the letter P so that it read like this: Stop. That had to ne intentional. 😂 I feel like it was a shout out to Chenford fans. lol
Oh my God, I looked at the stop sign because it was big and didn't interpreted it like that. But now I can totally see what you're saying and I love it 😂
Can you imagine if one day, they have a kid and they tell their kid how they met ? It would be like; “When we first met, your dad was my training officer.” Etc. 😂 Love Chenford ! ❤
@@melissaisloud7404 LOL!!!!!!! YEA....I don't think Lucy is going to tell Tim that for some time. One clip I watched, was how, that's NEVER BEEN BROUGHT UP EVER ON THE SHOW since season 1 & then ONLY Bishop knew!!!!!!!! Jackson DIDN'T EVEN EVER KNOW!!!!!!!
YES...BUT mom can BRAG HOW SHE SAVED DAD ON HER 1ST DAY!!!!!!!! AND...was a BAD ASS shooting & pulling him too safety!!!!!!! How mom helped Dad score 8th out 140 I think was the # of ppl who took the Sergeant's exam!!!!!! Or how she stole his money, b/c he told her to think like a criminal & Dad was left hanging, as mom said, "maybe you can do some dishes. AND oh...glove up!!!!!!!" ALL he pranks she played on him!!!!!! ❤😂😂🤣❤
No you're NOT alone!!!!! I too had to come clean. AND from the looks of things, there's plenty of us!!!!!! "Hi my name is Tammy and I am a Chenford Addict." I must say I go from confessing to saying, SCREW IT!!!!! SAY IT and WEAR IT PROUDLY!!!!!!! 😂♥️🤣🥰
@@tammyboon6259 Hi, Tammy!! I'm Effie, I'm a Chenford addict & watching Chenford fanvids is my guilty pleasure!!🤗 It has got me through multiple hiatus & winter breaks throughout these years! There...I said it!! 😁😁 (Your comment made my day!!👌)
YES...and we KNOW there's many out there, BUT are still in some denial!!!! LOL!!!!! 😂 We UNDERSTAND!!!!! How a new clip comes up & you tell yourself, you're gonna to just watch one. But then find another to click it on. OR you watch a clip & tell yourself that you're ONLY gonna watch it once!!!!! BUT...soon you've watched it over and over and over SO MUCH that you lost track of how many times!!!!! It's OKAY!!!!! YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!!!
Hahaha I was the same!! Only really binge the entire series this Sept/Oct! But shipped them from a far for years! Definitely give the show a watch! It’s worth it. Great characters overall, and the best ship on TV!
That, "He loves you" came across more like, "I love you" This is, by some way, the most non-work-related, lovey-dovey, interested Tim-and-Lucy-in-the-car, conversation.ive seen to date. Also, there's something off about Chris. From the get-go, I wasn't sure what it was, and I'm still not sure but something isn't right with that guy
Hmm!!!!! Well...he sure had a chip on his shoulder when talking to Tim!!!!! It was when Tim told them where Juarez was. AND Tim said what room & that Nolan was with her. Chris is jerk how he speaks to Tim, when Tim was the acting Sergeant ALL DAY!!!!! He then told Chris, it was b/c Nolan was also the UNION REP & that was why!!!!!! Chris still had ATTITUDE...& said, "Isn't that a conflict of interest." Tim is remaining calm BUT he's also NOT gonna let Chris just be an ass. AND...again, Tim tells him, that's not his decision to make, under his purview, it's IA & explains again that it is IA's decision to make, & not his. AND that IA cleared this!!!!! I think even Wesley noticed it!!!!!! By the end, I didn't care that Chris was hurt. I'm surprised a little by some diff rxns. ONLY b/c I saw a clip of a # of the ride scenes together from episode 5x8, and Lucy is VERY SAD & I think Tim was WORRIED!!!!!!! Tim ACTUALLY talked more than Lucy!!!!! She was sad, unhappy & stressed that whole day. BUT...the irony is that Chris pressing them to not only move in together BUT to also buy a house completely STRESSED HER OUT!!!!!!! That I think it was good that Tim could see that Lucy didn't love him & was quite unhappy!!!!! DEEP DOWN I think Chris knew that Lucy was ultimately in love with Tim!!!!!!!
If anyone grow up watch silk stalkings then you know that tim & Lucy is really Chris & Rita love story. It took them 5 season to declare their love for one another. I just hope that when Lucy get pregnant with tim baby , that he will not be killed off the show like Chris.
I'm worried about Fillion, only because of him I began to watch. He needs to leave the show urgently. His character is getting more and more boring. While not quite old yet, you need to look for a more interesting role.
I found this storyline cheap and distasteful. Dating someone while liking someone else is not fair to that person, especially when you drop them the moment your real crush pays attention to you. If they wanted to get these two together, they could have done it in a better way. Poor Chris.
"Dating someone while liking someone else is not fair to that person," Well yeah. But that's also only half the story. When both Lucy and Tim started dating Chris and Ashley respectively there was no "liking someone else" (meaning conscious romantic feelings for each other). That changed. That's why Lucy realized that she wasn't honest with herself about her feelings towards Chris and also realized it's not fair to Chris to stay in the relationship. Hence the correct decision to break up with him. What else do you want her to do or what do you think is the right thing to do in real life when you realize you started to develope intense feelings of romantic love for someone else??? Not breaking up and doubling down? That's fair to that person in your view? This may be distasteful to you, but it is human and therefore not cheap (writing) at all. I always liked that despite the goofyness of the series sometimes the show wasn't always 'clean' and the characters aren't perfect (except maybe Bailey LOL). Perfect example for me is when Lucy has this argument with her father in the hospital and they didn't resolve that conflict and still haven't.
@@Cliohna I don't want to spend too much time debating on a fictional character's motives but, to say she only realized her feelings afterwards would be incorrect. Did you watch the show?. She was weird with Ashley and tried to sabotage her. She was happy when they broke up. They kissed using undercover as an excuse. She came home and, if Chris wasn't bleeding out on her couch, what do you think would have happened if she had succeeded inviting him in. To use your argument, when she realized her feelings, she should've dumped Chris right away. That would have been the fair thing to do. She should not have strung the poor guy along (He thought they were going to move in together) and only dumped him when the person she actually liked asked her out. I on/off like "The Rookie". I mean sometimes the show feels more like a social commentary than anything made for entertainment. There are ways to critique societal issues while still being good tv, and "The Rookie" falls flat with that a lot. This show gets more and more cringe. At this point, it's more a fixation (curious about how much worse it can get), while still hoping for the occasional good episode, than anything I actually enjoy watching. And I can't abide storylines like this. It comes too close to cheating, heck it is cheating since she being undercover was just an excuse. Still, to each his own. Enjoy your ship.
@@charliebone8335 You totally misread my comment. What are you talking about ships? "to say she only realized her feelings afterwards would be incorrect." That's not what I said. Please don't misrepresent what I wrote. Both characters didn't have conscious romantic feelings towards each other when they started dating Chris and Ashley respectively. That's correct. "Did you watch the show?" Yes. "She tried to sabotage her. She was happy when they broke up." Well, that is not what happened. Did *you* watch the show? "when she realized her feelings, she should've dumped Chris right away." That's what she did. After she realized two things at once (she doesn't love Chris like Chris loves her, and she admits to herself the romantic feelings she has towards Tim), she first broke up with Chris and then took Tim up on his question to go on a date. It's not like after what happened during the UC operation that they tried again. On the contrary. They acknowledged through their behavior that if something had happened, that this would have been a mistake. Lucy handled it like it was a mistake (the invite for Tim), not that her relationship with Chris was one. She didn't question her relationship with Chris yet. That came later. "He thought they were going to move in together" Since this was the thing that opened up the character's eyes about her relationship, it would be fair to mention that he sprang this topic on her. She said 'let's talk about it' and not 'okay, let's do this', and he immediately said 'okay, I'll look for listings right away'. At that point she didn't fully realize she was "stringing him along", she was struggling to come to terms with this whole situation. And that's normal even in real life. Rarely does someone flip a switch and immediately break up. Look. What you misread is, I was not arguing that this was totally morally correct behavior. I argued that the writers made her behave like a normal human being. Realizing something [in regards to feelings] almost always takes at least a little bit of time. No one figures things out immediately and acts on things immediately or rarely. This storyline was messy, but human. That's all I'm saying. " I can't abide storylines like this" And you don't have to.
