When she said it was the most important relationship in her life I literally gasped, because it's the most expressly open interaction they've ever had. The shyness they felt afterwards was so cute, but the smile on both of them at the end (knowing that they would start a future together) is one of the most beautiful moments I've seen in the series
I know!!!!! They were both shy and coy! They aren't used to being this vulnerable in a while! But it was like all the cards were on the table after she realized what she wanted! And then in 509, after knowing how she feels, Tim is much more confident about asking her out!
I just know that there will be lots of fights in the begining because of Tim being too protective over her and not wanting her to get hurt now that she is his, and Chen being the stubborn woman she is taking no shit from men.
Same. Chen laying all her cards on the table for the first time took my breath away. He was stunned, but what needed to happen for him to let his wall down. She knows him better than anyone and he’s still #1. I think he opened his eyes to how much she cared for him and realized it’s “worth the risk” because he feels the same. That’s his person.
@@heatherelf77bro i read in an insta rookie fan page about them getting back together and i binge watched ssn5in a day, took a holiday for that. The show is too good to be real.
This chat was her talking to tim about chris looking for houses for them to move into. The whole convo ended up having a double meaning for them. On one hand it sounds like shes talking about her and chris and that most important r/s thing either refers to her and chris or her and tim. The look is when they realise its actually referring to her and tim and thats when the convo switches from lucy asking tim what to do with the whole chris thing to them realised they have mutual feelings for each other and that while she likes chris, she doesnt love him the way she loves tim
I don't think romantic love is real or special, and I think romantic relationships are a bad thing. More than half of romantic relationships end in a breakup/divorce. I think humans should just ditch concepts like dating, marriage, and pair bonding. I feel like this world would be a much better place without romance than it is with it. Romance seems like an ugly thing. It does seem that nearly all fathers are hoping that their daughters never date or get married and remain single for their whole life. Romantic relationships seem like a bad thing since there is a lot of dangers when it comes to them. The overprotective father thing is proof that romantic relationships are a bad thing, and this world would be a much better place without them. If someday that the human race ditches the concept of romance and romantic relationships, and got rid of stuff like dating and marriage, fathers would be happy about it since they wouldn't ever have to worry about their daughters ever dating if that ever happened.
I’m still shaking. Tim’s face when she said “Yes.” !!! We haven’t seen him make that face since she woke up after he sat by her bedside all night in Day of Death, 2x11. She is everything to him, he is everything to her. She showed him how to smile again and he taught her what love is supposed to be, and I’ll never be over it.
@@jamk4974 Yes! And it is my favourite thing to watch ❤️ I cant even say how much I love seeing this...Tim might think she could have a crush on him , like when she start working as an UC and she joked she had feeling for him. He was taken by suprise or when he didnt ask her to be his gofer bc people might think he likes her. "Because I am a girl and you are a boy? A very handsome boy". BUT in the meantime Lucy stop having this kinda crush. And when they start working together under cover then it all hit him! He was the one who act as na akward teenager around her. He was the one who didnt want to stop any of their kisses first He was the one who discuss the topic with the other people or he was the one who address their "pretending" relationship first. I mean Tim Bradford head over heels in love is such a great thing to watch. Cant wait for their first real kiss .
That deep nervous breath he had to take before working up the nerve to ask her was everything. And that giant smile on his face when she said yes made my heart explode!
Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Melissa and Eric are as actors? The hesitancy and the hope at the same time, the happiness to finally admit their feelings to each other... I felt everything, during this scene! They're wonderful!
When Tim said no this isn't about me, it's about you. He wasn't even trying to ask her out after, he was worried she'd settle for someone she isn't really happy with and that was so cute. And his smile afterwards was like a little kid getting candy. These two are so adorable and get each other
Such a sweet moment for them. And Tim’s realization that he is Lucy’s #1. She will always put him first - something he hasn’t had in his other relationships. He never came first, with his wife, Rachel or Ashley and especially not with his father. To hear Lucy tell him she can’t risk losing him gives him the courage to tell her that the risk is worth it. I like how the writers are having them actually date and develop their intimate relationship. It’s cute how they are nervous around each other and yet certain of their love. The background music was perfection. Can’t wait until Jan 3. 😊
Dear ABC! I officially ask you not to screw them up. This is by far the deepest and longest relationship on the show, so don’t you dare make them suffer or separated. They deserve the best story ever. WE deserve them. Chenford is so marvelously played and lived. Keep them, cherish them.
Lucy’s reaction to “Unless it is” is just so wholesome. She wasn’t expected for Tim to ever turn over in the moment, without thinking about it. I love this scene so much!
Tim's reaction to Lucy's confession is wonderful, but what really hit me is her surprise when he said it is worth the risk. She is honestly shocked that Tim feels the same way about her. That moment of disbelief is so relatable and real.
Good job ABC, now don't do us or them wrong. Both of these characters already have the longest relationship on the show and have gone through a lot together. Nolan, Harper, Lopez found happiness with people they barely knew.....these two KNOW each other. They have been so well written and acted so well people have fell in love with them and this show......because most can't find this in the real world....and we don't need real life pain, we have enough so don't screw this up.
This so far, has been the most important and revolutionary chenford moment in all of The Rookie history. More important than the 2 kisses, the awkward eye contact, and even Tim holding Lucy after she had gotten out of the barrel. THEY ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO IT!!! Watching this episode felt like a fairytale come true ❤❤❤❤
My whole heart melted. I’ve watched this scene like 9273553 times. Literally hits me in the feels every single time. Thank you Alexi, Eric, Melissa, Bella the director, all of you for making such beautiful art and finally giving us Chenford. It’s beautiful.
At first I had an impression that Lucy is less emotional than Tim's here. But when I watched it without music, only their voices, I was struck with her tone while saying that she is so scared to lose the most important relation im her life... Trembling, with chocked breath, but not over acting. Melissa did it so well; perfect partnering with Eric. My big big Thank You to Melissa O'Neil and Eric Winter. You have won our hearts forever.
i still can't believe this is real the 5 year build up has been so so worth it. they're perfect for each other🥺 so SO excited to see how their relationship develops
It was amazing but I'm so god damn glad I just binged watched the show recently coz I don't think I could've handle the wait 😂 I was alrd so impatient when I started watching it that I sighed at every relationship they had with other ppl 🤧 especially Lucy coz she rlly picked the worst 😭 A guy 20years older than her (no hate to Nolan but he's way better with Bailey), a coward that dumped her by text, a literal sycho that almost ended her life, and finally a guy that was pressuring her to move in with him when it was clear as day she didn't want it. She really knew how to pick them 😭 But in the end she picked up the best person ever so I won't complain
I think the best thing about this scene is that they didn’t verbally say the words, “I have feelings for you” to one another. After everything finally unfolded on the last episode of season four with their first kiss, they both concluded that they felt something for one another, and that them being in these relationships were ways to avoid these feelings, but as soon as Ashley broke up with Tim, I guess he realized they can’t avoid it anymore.
I love how he was talking about her staying in a safe relationship, like he didn’t do the same thing. I also love how she assumed he was talking about them taking a risk together, even though that’s not quite what he was saying. Either way, once he realized she was putting it out there, I love how he lit up. I didn’t know he could smile that much lol. It’s a very natural thing here and I really hope once they get together, they don’t break them up, because if they end on a cliffhanger, another season isn’t guaranteed and all of this will feel like a waste. They’re so cute and sweet together and I like how they’re finally done tiptoeing around all those long gazes. It’a about time. I expected him to be more hesitant so him saying he thinks it may be worth the risk was almost as surprising as the lack of hesitation on asking her out. All the cards went straight on the table
This is literally what I needed! I was expecting some kind of dramatic cliffhanger that left us just assuming things, but I am so damn happy they did this. It is so perfect! Every single line, every smile is just perfect. And more importantly, it is very Chenford. This is exactly how they would approach it! It felt so in-character and yet surprising at the same time. It was new, but familiar because that is what their relationship is. I am obsessed. The number of times I have watched this scene is ridiculous. I have it practically memorized!
OMG this was such a beautiful moment. So proud of Tim and Lucy for being brave and realizing that love is always worth the risk! I’ve loved them since their eyes met during roll call that first day, it has been a wonderful journey watching them & their relationship grow over the years not to mention their wonderful banter/humor. I’m sure they will continue to have obstacles but they will face them together because they truly are soulmates and I can’t wait to continue watching their journey.
What more can I say that hasn't been said? Just that I would like to thank the cast and crew for Chenford. And I would request the showrunners not to mess this ship up. Please keep them both ALIVE, SAFE, HAPPY and TOGETHER.🙏
My favorite moment of this scene (and I adored the whole thing), was that deep breath he took, straightening his shoulders, etc. Steeling himself to finally ask her out. To step right off that bridge into the point of no return. Because for better or for worse, things would change immediately and irrevocably the second he opened his mouth. And finally openly acknowledging to her as well as himself that he wanted to take that step. (She knew she was in love with him waaaaaay before he was open with himself about having feelings for her). Then that sexy seeeeexy (my gosh that man is fine) jubilant smile as she said yes. I love their dynamic and am terrified the writers are going to mess it up. They've been through SO MUCH together and he's so innately protective of her (and vice versa). Even when they're busting each others chops (which is hysterical to watch, especially since the actors have such great give and take chemistry with each other), they're very connected, very protective (and maybe a teeny bit possessive) of each other.
I just want to scream all out loud when this happens last night! It just makes me hope all this time so worth it to wait for ChenFord to happen! I hope this relationship goes as far as they can because they are made for each other. I just want to say thank you so much to the person who made this happen and I'm glad they are finally together. Please make them stronger in future episodes. I love you guys, Lucy and Tim!!!!
The fact that they both have known for a while that they want to be together, without actually talking about it until now, shows how well they know each other.
One of the best scenes I've seen on television, the interpretation of them is magnificent, the background music, really, I do not get tired of seeing it ..
At of all the couples on the show, they belong together the most. Their relationship was built on a strong foundation beforehand. I'm not saying people can't get together quickly and last, but this has got to be endgame. Tim deserves a deep love, especially with everything that happened to him as a kid and because of what happened with Isabel. He has a hard exterior, and I love that it didn't deter Lucy's desire to push through his walls, even if she didn't initially set out to fall in love with him. It was a true fall. I love how Lucy has softened Tim's edges a bit overtime, and this has only made his character more endearing. He's still so obviously masculine and is still a bamf, but he's actually pretty empathetic and emotionally supportive but in a different way than Lucy is. The point is that they bring out the best in each other. I'm so obsessed with them. Seriously, I might have a problem. #chenfordforever
Oh my God, they are SO precious! Tim's smile is like never ending since the beginning of this season (except for his breakup). I'm so glad he's finally admitting that he feels something for her and that she finally realized that Chris isn't what she want. Can't wait for the next episodes!
I binge-watched the 93 episodes so far for the first time in the last 5 days all because of chenford TikTok. That’s all it took. And this was the one scene I rewatched a billion times. I’m literally watching the show for them only and man to see them first date other ppl tested my limits so much but it made this moment all the more perfect. They finally realized that what they need and are looking for has been in front of them the whole time. Now 9 episodes after this moment with chenford as a couple….this moment is still my favourite. Maybe the song in the background is making me more emotional but the way Lucy just blurted out how her relationship with Tim was too important to risk without any prompt when they were only talking about her and Chris was awe-worthy, esp with Tim being so stunned after and realizing that their feelings were mutual without directly telling it to each other. But the best part was when he answered her "yes it is" with no hesitation about taking a risk…breathtaking. The fact that all the other couples have known each other for a shorter time before dating than chenford makes their relationship all the more precious. From cold trainer and rookie trainee, to sergeant and aid officer, to somewhat friends and finally to lovers…their love story is one for the ages. #chenfordforever
93 episodes in 5 days. That is 18.6 episodes per day when do you eat, sleep, wash, do chores or go out. Although personal self care and hygiene aside I’m quite impressed tbf that is a proper binge watch marathon 😂😂😂
@@rosiegiesler4705 Hardly slept is more like it 🤣 and literally the only breaks I took were to wash and eat, that’s how hooked I was!! Well mainly cause of Tim cause he’s so damn fine 🤤 I don’t think I’ve ever binge-watched 5 seasons like this so yea it’s a record for me too LOL
I was texting my co-worker about something completely different while watching this episode. When this moment happened, I had to tell her all about it. She's never heard of the show but in that moment she was who I was talking to and I had to share my excitement with someone. So now she knows all about Chenford, even though she still has no clue what the show is about 🙂
What I love about Chenford is that they have formed such an strong bond over the four seasons (not even romantically, just an overall meaningful partnership/friendship) that the simple question of getting dinner sometime has almost the intensity of a proposal ... I mean ... WOW!!
I just saw this episode last night & was fangirling! Tim is so handsome! He’s tough on the inside, but has always had such a soft/sweet spot for Lucy! Definitely what she needs💕
I;ve never seen this show BUT I LOVE THIS COUPLE! They're adorable together and it's so healthy---she wants to break it of properly with the other guy and not hurt anyone and take her time and he supports that. It's so healthy! And they make such an attractive couple! They are perfect for each other.
This is the first they talked about this path and its so amazing that they both have felt those undercurrents and chemistry with each other and how they kind of confessed about wanting to start a relationship without saying it out aloud first. ❤
I can't tell you enough on how much I rejoiced at this moment, I sincerely adore Chenford and had been waiting for this moment ever since starting the series! Love The Rookie and can't wait for more!
Those two deserve to be happy ,tim has been through a lot and built those walls around him, lucy also always ending up with relations "not worth the risk" but finally they found each other and they'll heal each other
Falling in love IS scary.. it’s the moment you realize “wow, this person could really break my heart” but Chenford is worth the risk!! 🥹 Tim is ready to jump in again even after being hurt because he knows it’ll be different with Lucy! She has consistently been in his corner even while he was tough on her as a rookie. This relationship was slow to develop but the best kind is born out of friendship and that’s definitely what they had. I love how passionately frustrated Tim gets in this scene when Lucy calls him out about dating Ashley because it doesn’t matter anymore.. he’s single and wants to be with HER now but they can’t go further until she cuts Chris loose, but despite of all that he NEEDED her to know that he’s done pretending and so in his most vulnerable moment he took a breath and asked her out to dinner because he very well couldn’t say date. Lucy’s revelation to Tim that he’s the most important person in her life catches him off guard because he’s never been put first in past relationships and she takes his beat of silence for rejection but he assures her they’re on the same page. They both have been fighting their feelings for so long that it had to be exhausting and now that all the cards are on the table they can finally be together
I thought his pause was shock at how clearly she just laid out her feelings, the first verbal confession ever. But also it wasn’t lost on him how to her he’s THE person, something he’s missed in every past relationship. Real love. Built on real time spent together and knowing him well. “Too well”
@@mwood6604I think so too. That it was surprise. Like “wow, did she just say what I thought she said?” Bc they’ve been dancing around it ever since their UC kiss.
Everyone in this show is so mature. Talking about their feelings and communicating clearly. I keep expecting some poor decisions to be made in the heat of the moment! Betrayal and desire and regret that feels so good! And instead I’m left with these beautifully wholesome moments of hope and courage and fresh air…. I’m mean what am I supposed to do with that?
Enjoy it lol, I for one wanna see more shows showing healthy adult relationships instead of the toxic, drag on forever triangles and BS, the couples on this show are so refreshing
Been rewatching episodes and realized that the pretend kisses that these two shared were the most passionate in the shows history, I want the real ones to top it, lol.
That was perfect❤❤❤❤! I cannot express how beautiful is this whole scene🙌 looks like they're in a little Eden garden surrounded by flowers and taking the leap of faith ✨
See I’ve been wanting this since s1 but the way this was written is so magical it doesn’t seem real, I can’t get over it. I was expecting soemthing to happen in this episode but this took me for a surprise 🥺
As much as Nolan is a great character among others on the show I think Bradford's character is the most well developed. Tough but fair. Somewhat broken because of his past but, at least around Chen, he isn't afraid of being vulnerable and man does he ever have her back.
I LOVE this relationship between them!! I’ve been waiting for this since he pulled her out of that barrel. Please please do not mess this up. I can’t wait for more ❤❤
I’m so freaking excited. I’ve waited 5 seasons for this moment. He knew he loved her from the moment he saved her from being buried alive. Then over this past season they couldn’t hide or deny it anymore and then Tim finally ask Lucy out. The look on both their faces and the love between them is undeniable. I am content til they come back in January knowing we finally get Chenford story line 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"He knew he loved her from the moment he saved her from being buried alive." I actually don't think so. If he knew he loved her romantically at that moment, he would have taken the job as Sgt. in the North Hollywood division back in S2. That way he could have pursued a relationship immediately. But he didn't. (And he also was romantically involved with Rachel during S2. But I think this now with Lucy is on a whole nother level than what he had with Rachel to be honest.)
Great scene. He knows what he wants now and is going full force to get it. I like that he doesn't let her shy away but really asks her "what if it IS worth it?" This is the important step in this exquisite slow-burn that is Chenford. The writers just nail this couple. Whomever it is doing the writing is spot-on.
Some people will not understand their conversation bcs it's so indirect. There's no common words like I like you, Let's date and you're the most important to me. They know what they talking and what they really mean to say bcs they're so connected to each other. They have own love language. What I understand to their convos, Tim knew that Chen is not really love Chris, same to Chen, she knew that Tim is not in love to Ashley. When Lucy said " Of course I'm scared. If we do this and it doesn't work, I'll have ruined the most important relationship in my life." A confirmation for Tim that she likes him for a long time but she can't admit her true feelings bcs of that. "Do you want to get dinner sometime?" is equal let's date. Gosh I love them.
I was pleasantly surprised Tim was this open with Lucy and the one to ask her out- especially at work where they could be overheard. Lucy's feelings have always been obvious so it was nice for Tim to step forward. I kind of wish Lucy was able to break up with Chris in a way that just for her- no knowledge that Tim is waiting in the wings. The way Lucy was not a factor in the Tim and Ashley breakup- Ashley just out of the blue couldn't deal with Tim's job. I hope Chenford has a discussion about when they realized the change in their feelings. And the best part will be Tim getting to be unapologetically himself! Because Lucy accepts him exactly as he is! Tim staying loyal to Isabel and chasing after her was one thing (she was his wife after all), but considering moving to NYC with Rachel for a minute? Telling her father he will take on her illness and bending some of his work principles because she made doe eyes at him? Bending over backwards for princess Ashley by skipping work and making her think he is okay with never being married again or having a family when he so clearly wants that? He doesn't have to hide with Lucy. I can't wait for the date in 5×10!
@@lisarm100 maybe when they made out at the station?? Tim is against PDA in the workplace and Rachel kinda talked him into it cause of the missile threat
One of the best slow burns in the television history! Just seeing them growing from the TO and the rookie to right now the officer and her superior, plus, most importantly, the couple! I already spoiled some things for myself, so I expect to be heartbroken soon, but for now I just want to enjoy THIS! PS. Tim's relief and huge smile after Lucy agreed to going on a date with him, MY GOD! Also, him working up the nerve to ask her out. My boy is in love!
When this dropped, I screamed with❤❤❤ I was not expecting this so soon and for them to be direct as they never admitted their feelings, even though they both knew and also they were sure the other felt the same. Usual in shows, they prolong and play games, love how Chenford's storyline is progressing so healthily❤❤❤❤❤ Their chemistry omg❤😊
I'm rooting for #chenford, but I believe there will be many obstacles thrown in their path before they get to be together. I hope the writers handle this relationship realistically and maturely because I love both characters.

Tim's reaction to Lucy's confession is wonderful, but what really hit me is her surprise when he said it is worth the risk. She is honestly shocked that Tim feels the same way about her. That moment of disbelief is so relatable and real.
I know eh! She was like, what? Did I hear that right? You feel the same way AND admitted it too??
Good job ABC, now don't do us or them wrong. Both of these characters already have the longest relationship on the show and have gone through a lot together. Nolan, Harper, Lopez found happiness with people they barely knew.....these two KNOW each other. They have been so well written and acted so well people have fell in love with them and this show......because most can't find this in the real world....and we don't need real life pain, we have enough so don't screw this up.
In your words you gave - my thoughts. Thank you, because I would not do it better.
Yesss. I just witnessed the 100 seriously screw it up. Can't go through that again😂
Yes!!! Well said!
Yah dont screw this up
Wow, this was so well said. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
This so far, has been the most important and revolutionary chenford moment in all of The Rookie history. More important than the 2 kisses, the awkward eye contact, and even Tim holding Lucy after she had gotten out of the barrel. THEY ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO IT!!! Watching this episode felt like a fairytale come true ❤❤❤❤
His face when he was saying that it was actually worth the risk and his smile after she agreed to have dinner - I can watch these moments forever❤
My whole heart melted. I’ve watched this scene like 9273553 times. Literally hits me in the feels every single time. Thank you Alexi, Eric, Melissa, Bella the director, all of you for making such beautiful art and finally giving us Chenford. It’s beautiful.
SAME
The way he said "yeah?"... My heart😍😍
At first I had an impression that Lucy is less emotional than Tim's here. But when I watched it without music, only their voices, I was struck with her tone while saying that she is so scared to lose the most important relation im her life... Trembling, with chocked breath, but not over acting. Melissa did it so well; perfect partnering with Eric. My big big Thank You to Melissa O'Neil and Eric Winter. You have won our hearts forever.
i still can't believe this is real the 5 year build up has been so so worth it. they're perfect for each other🥺 so SO excited to see how their relationship develops
It was amazing but I'm so god damn glad I just binged watched the show recently coz I don't think I could've handle the wait 😂 I was alrd so impatient when I started watching it that I sighed at every relationship they had with other ppl 🤧 especially Lucy coz she rlly picked the worst 😭
A guy 20years older than her (no hate to Nolan but he's way better with Bailey), a coward that dumped her by text, a literal sycho that almost ended her life, and finally a guy that was pressuring her to move in with him when it was clear as day she didn't want it. She really knew how to pick them 😭 But in the end she picked up the best person ever so I won't complain
I think the best thing about this scene is that they didn’t verbally say the words, “I have feelings for you” to one another. After everything finally unfolded on the last episode of season four with their first kiss, they both concluded that they felt something for one another, and that them being in these relationships were ways to avoid these feelings, but as soon as Ashley broke up with Tim, I guess he realized they can’t avoid it anymore.
They perfectly nailed this scene. So classy and beautiful. I am very happy with the way they’ve developed this relationship.
My Chenford heart is so full right now🥺❤️
I love how he was talking about her staying in a safe relationship, like he didn’t do the same thing. I also love how she assumed he was talking about them taking a risk together, even though that’s not quite what he was saying. Either way, once he realized she was putting it out there, I love how he lit up. I didn’t know he could smile that much lol. It’s a very natural thing here and I really hope once they get together, they don’t break them up, because if they end on a cliffhanger, another season isn’t guaranteed and all of this will feel like a waste. They’re so cute and sweet together and I like how they’re finally done tiptoeing around all those long gazes. It’a about time. I expected him to be more hesitant so him saying he thinks it may be worth the risk was almost as surprising as the lack of hesitation on asking her out. All the cards went straight on the table
AAAHHHH THIS IS FINALLY HAPPENING
I'm sooo happy, because they are perfect for each other and deserve to be happy together
This is literally what I needed! I was expecting some kind of dramatic cliffhanger that left us just assuming things, but I am so damn happy they did this. It is so perfect! Every single line, every smile is just perfect. And more importantly, it is very Chenford. This is exactly how they would approach it! It felt so in-character and yet surprising at the same time. It was new, but familiar because that is what their relationship is. I am obsessed. The number of times I have watched this scene is ridiculous. I have it practically memorized!
I've been patiently waiting for this moment! I want them to hold onto the friendship as well, no matter what. But they're SO meant for each other!
OMG this was such a beautiful moment. So proud of Tim and Lucy for being brave and realizing that love is always worth the risk! I’ve loved them since their eyes met during roll call that first day, it has been a wonderful journey watching them & their relationship grow over the years not to mention their wonderful banter/humor. I’m sure they will continue to have obstacles but they will face them together because they truly are soulmates and I can’t wait to continue watching their journey.
What more can I say that hasn't been said? Just that I would like to thank the cast and crew for Chenford. And I would request the showrunners not to mess this ship up. Please keep them both ALIVE, SAFE, HAPPY and TOGETHER.🙏
This is such a beautiful, powerful, pivoting moment in their relationship! I’m surprised it doesn’t have over a million views yet.
It about time we waited 5 years for this
4 years. Year 1 was Nolan. Lol
My favorite moment of this scene (and I adored the whole thing), was that deep breath he took, straightening his shoulders, etc. Steeling himself to finally ask her out. To step right off that bridge into the point of no return. Because for better or for worse, things would change immediately and irrevocably the second he opened his mouth. And finally openly acknowledging to her as well as himself that he wanted to take that step. (She knew she was in love with him waaaaaay before he was open with himself about having feelings for her). Then that sexy seeeeexy (my gosh that man is fine) jubilant smile as she said yes. I love their dynamic and am terrified the writers are going to mess it up. They've been through SO MUCH together and he's so innately protective of her (and vice versa). Even when they're busting each others chops (which is hysterical to watch, especially since the actors have such great give and take chemistry with each other), they're very connected, very protective (and maybe a teeny bit possessive) of each other.
I’m so freaking overjoyed at this!!! I absolutely adore Chenford 🥰🥰🥰
I just want to scream all out loud when this happens last night! It just makes me hope all this time so worth it to wait for ChenFord to happen! I hope this relationship goes as far as they can because they are made for each other. I just want to say thank you so much to the person who made this happen and I'm glad they are finally together. Please make them stronger in future episodes. I love you guys, Lucy and Tim!!!!
I don’t even watch this show and I’m obsessed with these two. 😍
The fact that they both have known for a while that they want to be together, without actually talking about it until now, shows how well they know each other.
The way Lucy lights up when she says, “ Ask me again.”😁 and I am very surprised that Tim is letting his wall down!
I threw my hands in the air after this episode 🎉 FINALLY
Episode?
One of the best scenes I've seen on television, the interpretation of them is magnificent, the background music, really, I do not get tired of seeing it ..
Five years later and finally something we all have been waiting for
CHENFORD !!!!!!!!!!!!
At of all the couples on the show, they belong together the most. Their relationship was built on a strong foundation beforehand. I'm not saying people can't get together quickly and last, but this has got to be endgame. Tim deserves a deep love, especially with everything that happened to him as a kid and because of what happened with Isabel. He has a hard exterior, and I love that it didn't deter Lucy's desire to push through his walls, even if she didn't initially set out to fall in love with him. It was a true fall. I love how Lucy has softened Tim's edges a bit overtime, and this has only made his character more endearing. He's still so obviously masculine and is still a bamf, but he's actually pretty empathetic and emotionally supportive but in a different way than Lucy is. The point is that they bring out the best in each other. I'm so obsessed with them. Seriously, I might have a problem. #chenfordforever
TEARS OF JOY!!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 We love you #ChenFord!!! ❤😍🥲
Awe Lucy lights Tim up like a Christmas Tree!!!🎉🎉🎉😍😍😍❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 #SoulMates 🥰😘
The music playing made it all ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Chenford 1:19 they both know but can’t express it as much as they’d like to
Oh my God, they are SO precious! Tim's smile is like never ending since the beginning of this season (except for his breakup). I'm so glad he's finally admitting that he feels something for her and that she finally realized that Chris isn't what she want. Can't wait for the next episodes!
I love that Tim was willing to take the leap!
I binge-watched the 93 episodes so far for the first time in the last 5 days all because of chenford TikTok. That’s all it took. And this was the one scene I rewatched a billion times. I’m literally watching the show for them only and man to see them first date other ppl tested my limits so much but it made this moment all the more perfect. They finally realized that what they need and are looking for has been in front of them the whole time. Now 9 episodes after this moment with chenford as a couple….this moment is still my favourite. Maybe the song in the background is making me more emotional but the way Lucy just blurted out how her relationship with Tim was too important to risk without any prompt when they were only talking about her and Chris was awe-worthy, esp with Tim being so stunned after and realizing that their feelings were mutual without directly telling it to each other. But the best part was when he answered her "yes it is" with no hesitation about taking a risk…breathtaking. The fact that all the other couples have known each other for a shorter time before dating than chenford makes their relationship all the more precious. From cold trainer and rookie trainee, to sergeant and aid officer, to somewhat friends and finally to lovers…their love story is one for the ages. #chenfordforever
93 episodes in 5 days. That is 18.6 episodes per day when do you eat, sleep, wash, do chores or go out. Although personal self care and hygiene aside I’m quite impressed tbf that is a proper binge watch marathon 😂😂😂
@@rosiegiesler4705 Hardly slept is more like it 🤣 and literally the only breaks I took were to wash and eat, that’s how hooked I was!! Well mainly cause of Tim cause he’s so damn fine 🤤 I don’t think I’ve ever binge-watched 5 seasons like this so yea it’s a record for me too LOL
I did the same the past couple of days also took me 5 days, sleep eat watch
Yep me too
I was texting my co-worker about something completely different while watching this episode. When this moment happened, I had to tell her all about it. She's never heard of the show but in that moment she was who I was talking to and I had to share my excitement with someone. So now she knows all about Chenford, even though she still has no clue what the show is about 🙂
the way i keep coming back here to rewatch this scene! i can't get enough of it!!!
What I love about Chenford is that they have formed such an strong bond over the four seasons (not even romantically, just an overall meaningful partnership/friendship) that the simple question of getting dinner sometime has almost the intensity of a proposal ... I mean ... WOW!!
I just saw this episode last night & was fangirling! Tim is so handsome! He’s tough on the inside, but has always had such a soft/sweet spot for Lucy! Definitely what she needs💕
Love how they both acted so giddy with each other like they just met.❤️😂
That soft yeah at 1:27 is so perfect. He was nervous
I;ve never seen this show BUT I LOVE THIS COUPLE! They're adorable together and it's so healthy---she wants to break it of properly with the other guy and not hurt anyone and take her time and he supports that. It's so healthy! And they make such an attractive couple! They are perfect for each other.
This is the first they talked about this path and its so amazing that they both have felt those undercurrents and chemistry with each other and how they kind of confessed about wanting to start a relationship without saying it out aloud first. ❤
I can't tell you enough on how much I rejoiced at this moment, I sincerely adore Chenford and had been waiting for this moment ever since starting the series! Love The Rookie and can't wait for more!
THANK YOU!!!!!! Chenford is the best part of the show!
Can I just say…FINALLY!! 🎉😂❤ chenford forever :)
“IT’S WORTH THE RISK”
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Those two deserve to be happy ,tim has been through a lot and built those walls around him, lucy also always ending up with relations "not worth the risk" but finally they found each other and they'll heal each other
Falling in love IS scary.. it’s the moment you realize “wow, this person could really break my heart” but Chenford is worth the risk!! 🥹 Tim is ready to jump in again even after being hurt because he knows it’ll be different with Lucy! She has consistently been in his corner even while he was tough on her as a rookie. This relationship was slow to develop but the best kind is born out of friendship and that’s definitely what they had. I love how passionately frustrated Tim gets in this scene when Lucy calls him out about dating Ashley because it doesn’t matter anymore.. he’s single and wants to be with HER now but they can’t go further until she cuts Chris loose, but despite of all that he NEEDED her to know that he’s done pretending and so in his most vulnerable moment he took a breath and asked her out to dinner because he very well couldn’t say date. Lucy’s revelation to Tim that he’s the most important person in her life catches him off guard because he’s never been put first in past relationships and she takes his beat of silence for rejection but he assures her they’re on the same page. They both have been fighting their feelings for so long that it had to be exhausting and now that all the cards are on the table they can finally be together
I love your analysis of the situation. Perfectly described
@@gabrielle6015 thank you 😊♥️
I thought his pause was shock at how clearly she just laid out her feelings, the first verbal confession ever. But also it wasn’t lost on him how to her he’s THE person, something he’s missed in every past relationship. Real love. Built on real time spent together and knowing him well. “Too well”
@@mwood6604I think so too. That it was surprise. Like “wow, did she just say what I thought she said?” Bc they’ve been dancing around it ever since their UC kiss.
Best scene ever! Been waiting for this for so long ! This made me so happy. They both want this so much
Everyone in this show is so mature. Talking about their feelings and communicating clearly. I keep expecting some poor decisions to be made in the heat of the moment! Betrayal and desire and regret that feels so good! And instead I’m left with these beautifully wholesome moments of hope and courage and fresh air…. I’m mean what am I supposed to do with that?
Enjoy it lol, I for one wanna see more shows showing healthy adult relationships instead of the toxic, drag on forever triangles and BS, the couples on this show are so refreshing
I literally screamed when she said if we do this without realising….and my parents were just staring at me.I ship them so hard🫶🫀
Can't believe I was shipping them ever since I started watching this show. Started fanboying over them and got so excited when Tim asked Lucy out
FINALLY !!! CHENFORD HAS RISEN !!! ❤😍🔥
Been rewatching episodes and realized that the pretend kisses that these two shared were the most passionate in the shows history, I want the real ones to top it, lol.
I have loved these two as a couple from the start, their connection and energy together was always so good❤
Bradford, Chen said "Ask again later." But don't wait too much longer.
I love that Tim and Lucy taking a chance with each other .❤❤❤❤
That was perfect❤❤❤❤! I cannot express how beautiful is this whole scene🙌 looks like they're in a little Eden garden surrounded by flowers and taking the leap of faith ✨
See I’ve been wanting this since s1 but the way this was written is so magical it doesn’t seem real, I can’t get over it. I was expecting soemthing to happen in this episode but this took me for a surprise 🥺
I was YELLING when I watched this. 4 long years of waiting😭
dude i dont even watch this show, why am i so obsessed with this couple
"Unless it is..." 🫠🫠🫠😭💘 THIS moment. This line. Their looks 😭😍 ALL the feels. It has been worth waiting!!! Love love love them. #Chenford 💕
Nobody: “how many times have you watched this”
Me: “Yes?”
As much as Nolan is a great character among others on the show I think Bradford's character is the most well developed. Tough but fair. Somewhat broken because of his past but, at least around Chen, he isn't afraid of being vulnerable and man does he ever have her back.
I haven't even watched The Rookie (can't get it over here), but I know who Chenford are! Glad they're moving forward.
The chemistry between these two ❤️🔥
I LOVE this relationship between them!! I’ve been waiting for this since he pulled her out of that barrel. Please please do not mess this up. I can’t wait for more ❤❤
These are the best characters on the show I can’t have them break up 😩 please
I feel like the gif from the office of screaming "OMG! It's happening! It's happening!" would be appropriate here :)
I’m so freaking excited. I’ve waited 5 seasons for this moment. He knew he loved her from the moment he saved her from being buried alive. Then over this past season they couldn’t hide or deny it anymore and then Tim finally ask Lucy out. The look on both their faces and the love between them is undeniable. I am content til they come back in January knowing we finally get Chenford story line 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
"He knew he loved her from the moment he saved her from being buried alive."
I actually don't think so. If he knew he loved her romantically at that moment, he would have taken the job as Sgt. in the North Hollywood division back in S2. That way he could have pursued a relationship immediately. But he didn't. (And he also was romantically involved with Rachel during S2. But I think this now with Lucy is on a whole nother level than what he had with Rachel to be honest.)
Im in love with these two! Cant wait until the next episode
Grinning ear to ear ❤❤❤❤
It's been years but FREAKING FINALLY! THERE WE GO WITH OUR CHENFORD SHIP AYE AYE
Great scene. He knows what he wants now and is going full force to get it. I like that he doesn't let her shy away but really asks her "what if it IS worth it?" This is the important step in this exquisite slow-burn that is Chenford. The writers just nail this couple. Whomever it is doing the writing is spot-on.
We did it Chenfords! We did it! We made it y'all!
ayes we did❤❤❤😊
My heart can’t handle this! It’s finally happening 😊😊😊
Tim is a by the book kind of guy ! So for him to risk it all for Lucy shows that he cares about her and she’s worth the risk !
Some people will not understand their conversation bcs it's so indirect. There's no common words like I like you, Let's date and you're the most important to me. They know what they talking and what they really mean to say bcs they're so connected to each other. They have own love language.
What I understand to their convos, Tim knew that Chen is not really love Chris, same to Chen, she knew that Tim is not in love to Ashley.
When Lucy said " Of course I'm scared. If we do this and it doesn't work, I'll have ruined the most important relationship in my life." A confirmation for Tim that she likes him for a long time but she can't admit her true feelings bcs of that.
"Do you want to get dinner sometime?" is equal let's date.
Gosh I love them.
Been waiting since season 1 episode 1 for this, but i’d say it’s worth the wait! ❤😊
I was pleasantly surprised Tim was this open with Lucy and the one to ask her out- especially at work where they could be overheard. Lucy's feelings have always been obvious so it was nice for Tim to step forward.
I kind of wish Lucy was able to break up with Chris in a way that just for her- no knowledge that Tim is waiting in the wings. The way Lucy was not a factor in the Tim and Ashley breakup- Ashley just out of the blue couldn't deal with Tim's job.
I hope Chenford has a discussion about when they realized the change in their feelings. And the best part will be Tim getting to be unapologetically
himself! Because Lucy accepts him exactly as he is!
Tim staying loyal to Isabel and chasing after her was one thing (she was his wife after all), but considering moving to NYC with Rachel for a minute? Telling her father he will take on her illness and bending some of his work principles because she made doe eyes at him?
Bending over backwards for princess Ashley by skipping work and making her think he is okay with never being married again or having a family when he so clearly wants that? He doesn't have to hide with Lucy. I can't wait for the date in 5×10!
When did he bend work principles for Rachel?
@@lisarm100 maybe when they made out at the station?? Tim is against PDA in the workplace and Rachel kinda talked him into it cause of the missile threat
One of the best slow burns in the television history! Just seeing them growing from the TO and the rookie to right now the officer and her superior, plus, most importantly, the couple! I already spoiled some things for myself, so I expect to be heartbroken soon, but for now I just want to enjoy THIS!
PS. Tim's relief and huge smile after Lucy agreed to going on a date with him, MY GOD! Also, him working up the nerve to ask her out. My boy is in love!
I love the parallel of Tim in previous episodes refusing to admit they are in a relationship.
Where is there parallel?
What? Please explain. I’m confused.
When this dropped, I screamed with❤❤❤ I was not expecting this so soon and for them to be direct as they never admitted their feelings, even though they both knew and also they were sure the other felt the same. Usual in shows, they prolong and play games, love how Chenford's storyline is progressing so healthily❤❤❤❤❤ Their chemistry omg❤😊
I WENT NUTS❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ it’s finally happening and I am so freaking in love with Tim&Lucy❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm rooting for #chenford, but I believe there will be many obstacles thrown in their path before they get to be together. I hope the writers handle this relationship realistically and maturely because I love both characters.
