Officers West and Chen Celebrate - The Rookie

Officer Jackson West (Titus Makin) is congratulated by his T.O., Angela Lopez (Alyssa Diaz) and Officer Lucy Chen (Melissa O'Neil) exchanges gifts with her T.O., Tim Bradford (Eric Winter), but Officer John Nolan (Nathan Fillion) still has a month left before he moves on. His T.O., Nyla Harper (Mekia Cox) takes him out to keep his spirits up. Watch 'The Rookie' on ABC and Hulu, streaming and on demand.

Didn't like Harper at first but she quickly grew on me, love how she knows Nolan is upset seeing Lucy and Jackson move on without him and "forces" him to tag along for dinner to help distract him

[@KS-xk2so]

I felt like they've really earned the friendship that is now developing between Nolan and Harper. All through Season 2 Nolan and his optimism just kept infecting Harper and softening her out a bit. Loved when she said in the beginning of the episode to Nolan "I thought we were tight?" and when Nolan was surprised and answered "We are?" she looked offended, lol

[@mrdurva9532]

@@KS-xk2so she came off as a hard ass but given what she did before taking on the role of T.O I can't really blame her for the stuck up attitude she had. However I'm so glad that Nolan rubbed off on her. It helped open her up to trusting people, and definitely helped with getting custody of her daughter again. I would love to see these two continue riding together after Nolan finishes his last 30 days

[@AdeptKing]

She didn’t know him at the time but he won her over in time. He did that with Bishop before.

[@jones2277]

agreed. she really grew in me too.

[@architbansal8416]

Harper is one of those characters that nolan always needed while he was a rookie. The level of experience nyla had in her kitty, really helped nolan integrate his experience in every field he has worked for into his job as a cop in the lapd. Bishop could have never been able to help him with that. She was a bit too inexperienced. That lack of experience is what nyla's character has been developed to fill.

[@alassolqueiroz1837]

I think it's funny because Tim is not gulible and yet Lucy always finds a way to mess with him.

[@becky5212]

I can’t put into words how much I adore #chenford. The way Tim looks at Lucy in this scene, the boy is in LOVE.

[@ornage1031]

Chenford/Tucy shippers hear me out!!! I don’t think that they want to give us Chenford too soon because then it’s kinda like where do we go from here? Especially since Angela and Wesley are already the “constant” couple (fingers crossed nothing happens to them). I think if they get together too early on in the series then it’s hard for the writers to continue writing storylines without it being too forced/it makes it hard for them to grow the plot of the series maybe? Just my “theory” and I think something has to happen to Lucy when she does UC work for Tim to be like oh shoot I care for her more than I thought and can’t lose her. Hoping they’re endgame though!!!

[@ChelseaLeshay98]

It took 5 seasons and a near death experience for both Jamie and Eddie on Blue Bloods to realize that they were meant to be and they couldn't wait any longer to be together. They both knew the other had feelings for them, but didn't want to act on it because they knew they wouldn't be able to ride together. Most shows absolutely love slow burn romances, and I honestly think that's what the writers are doing with Chenford. They're trying to make it a slow burn, which is awesome. My guess is that in a few seasons they will probably end up together, hopefully.

[@patel.preenz]

i agree.

[@ornage1031]

@@ChelseaLeshay98 Exactly!!! And the writers/producers know what the fans want so they’ll probably make Chenford happen at some point just not right now! If you look at all the posts on KZbin or on social media, Chenford content usually (if not always) gets the most likes/comments/interaction/views! I hope that with Tim’s next rookie they show a different dynamic as well not another “will they or won’t they end up together” if it’s a girl rookie because then that’s just boring and annoying LOL maybe introduce a character and have them be his 12th rookie to wash out to make it more realistic? Or someone who Tim sees as a little brother or his younger self if it’s a guy rookie. I digress LOL but chenford has to be endgame!!

[@Jasonslittlesister1]

I think it would be interesting if something happens to Tim, not Lucy. Though we got that with the virus episode, i think that'll be interesting to see because so much happened with them since season 1.. We got Lucy in that barrel and after this episode 3x09 i think Lucy's the one who has to come to the right conclusion? She seemed to be so clueless... Like maybe... Tim being stalked. Tim being with her undercover. Tim being drugged and spill his heart out XD Maybe something sweet like jealousy on both sides? Or Tim being his wonderful full self when hanging out with Kudjoe? Help each other because of the Emmett and hopefully Rachel breakups? Something like doing the gift thing and date thing together for the Wopez wedding - as for Lucy being the best gift giver and helping him being the best man of honor for Angela and Wes? Seeing him with the Wopez baby will do the magic ✨?... I hope for something extraordinary :D I feel some kinda smacked though because of Lucy's reaction. It's like the writers are laughing at the Chenford fans for thinking that way because Lucy seemed to be so... I can't really describe what's bothering me with her way to cope with her being nasty... Sooooooo, I still hope for Chenford to happen because I think Tim is on for the sail at our ship, but we have to see about Lucy now... Maybe they'll end up like Lil and Scotty from Cold Case- it's been what, ten years?, and I'm still not over these two XD

[@Jasonslittlesister1]

Come one, like they will give us Chenford now. If it did happen now, people will think Lucy got where she was because she was sleeping with her boss, it would be unethical. It will happen everyone, but gradually. They might have feelings but it will slowly build up and may in another season it will happen but Lucy will need to be on equal footing, no longer a rookier or a rookier patrol cop.

[@LauraLoFer24]

The thing is will they ever be on equal footing? 🤷🏽‍♀️ I don't know. My guess is Tim is going to take over Grey's possition when he retires (during/at the end of S4), placing Bradford again as Lucy's superior, and although starting a rs with someone with a higher rank than yours wouldn't be against the rules that would be unethical too. Even if Chen is promoted to detective/starts working as an IC and technically she's on a different department, Tim would always be seen as an authority figure in the precint and Lucy's co workers will always be questioning her value as a cop
