Bradford Asks Lucy to Be His Aide - The Rookie

Tim Bradford (Eric Winter) finally asks Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil) to take on the job of being his aide. Watch 'The Rookie' SUNDAYS 10/9c on ABC.

What episode

[@babevane4104]

Dear Tim, you’re the one who is hoping for something else. 💛

[@captaindelta43]

Now the things are starting to look even more exciting .....

[@heatherelf77]

People might have read something into it when you ogled her at the wedding too, Bradford, but that didn’t stop you. They might read something into you sitting at her bedside all night long. They might read something into you letting her sass you like no other rookie you’ve ever trained. They might read something into you two openly flirt-arguing all OVER the precinct 😂. If anyone’s going to think you two are together, it won’t be because you’re riding together again. Newsflash - there’s probably already a betting pool for when you two will finally give in to each other. 😂

[@SpSot]

I am not a shipper, I admit I like to see their relationship as something between brother and sister but he certainly on the other hand, at the wedding, he didn't look at her in a very brotherly way.

[@heatherelf77]

@@SpSot yeah I think the brother/sister idea is out the window now, though I would argue that it flew out the window back in the middle of S2, if not earlier 😂. He’s been crushing on her for a while now. Eric Winter even said he purposefully played Tim as a little jealous of Caleb back in 2x10 when Tim snatched Caleb’s phone number away before Lucy could take it! 😂. Explains why he went completely off the rails to find her in 2x11, too.

[@NatalijaJ]

@@heatherelf77 I think that the first time Tim looked at Lucy diferently than just a co-worker/rookie/ friend is when she gave him that audio book she recorded for him to learn. I rewatched that episode today and the way he was looking at her like he realized she is special to him.

You know what?! When they finaly get together we better get them kissing each other all the time because for now the only one that gets to kiss constantly in this show is Nolan, not even Lopez and Wesley kiss anymore. Chenford deserve to be all over each other once Tim stops overthinking and finaly makes a move that he obviously wants!

Yeah I’m thinking season finale

[@kmaikeegarsona7689]

Coz I'm a girl and you're a boy... a handsome boy... (where's the lie tho?) hahahahaha! What I see in this scene? Chen wasn't awkward... she's just competitive... So it's Bradford who's kinda giving it meaning? Hahahah! Makes me think that if ChenFord's happening in the final season like in the very distant future, Tim probably will fall for her first than she will to him... Tho I feel she has a crush on him now. Tim, I think, is the kind of person who does not do crushes. He just falls for the girl. Hahahah! But I hope they keep it this way for now.. Don't bring them together yet but don't give them any love interest. Just keep them single and available for each other then offer us crumbs that will make our hearts flutter. I wanna see him get mad at her for being reckless coz he cares for her and she's being her same old competitive self; be an undercover couple for one season (is that possible now that he's sergeant?); or they can be just partners who secretly like each other but can't confess until the last season where they eventually get married... Hahahahaha!

[@germanbaitone7623]

👏👏👏👏

[@interstellar_1003]

I'm thinking this: 1. Get close, real close. 2. Get a promotion 3. Get together Tim would never get together with someone below him in his direct chain of command. But once she gets a promotion to somewhere else, like UC, he wouldn't be her boss anymore.

[@Sam19509]

she still has a thing for Nolan. Jackson and Nolan's friend Ben are the only two people in the show who know they were in a brief relationship before Bishop found out and warned Chen. Bishop got axed from the show but the feelings between Nolan and Chen are still there.

[@interstellar_1003]

@@Sam19509 I don't know what show or season you're watching but it's not The rookie season 4. Nothing that has played since they broke up has given any indication of her still carrying a torch for Nolan.

[@Sam19509]

@@interstellar_1003 she is always up in his business. I don't think the thing with Bradford is going to happen because he is still her superior even if she isn't his rookie anymore. And Bradford already regrets getting involved with someone from work in his ex-wife who became a drug junkie after years of working undercover.

[@interstellar_1003]

@@Sam19509 it's called being friends. If she had any feelings for him they'd show that but they don't. They haven't shown anything like that for seasona. Instead they showed the reaction of physical contact between Chen and Bradford. My prediction is that the writers will continue down on this path with the slow burn until he isn't her boss anymore. And that his not wanting to get involved with a coworker will be one of the hurdles they have to get over before actually getting together.

Contrary to popular opinion, I don't want to see a #Chenford. The series made it clear early on that girl gets branded when dating a cop, before she has proven herself...not sure how that has changed now!
