ABC’s The Rookie commemorated its return to Tuesdays with at least the occasion “Chenford” followers have lengthy waited for: Lucy and Tim’s first date. Did the couple’s assignation go off and not using a hitch? And may there be a Round 2?
As signaled from go — beginning with a montage during which each Lucy and Tim tried on Date Night outfit after outfit after outfit, after which there was approach an excessive amount of small speak about bread and who ordered sea bass — the night was teeming with nervousness. Which is to be anticipated. As Tim awkwardly famous, this was their first meal collectively the place presumably getting shot at within the line of labor wasn’t on the desk, however “naked time” may be. Though Lucy made clear that she doesn’t need them to hurry into mattress.
Alas, simply as the primary date jitters began to quiet, Tim clocked a commotion within the kitchen between an unruly buyer and the chef, whose hand bought sliced through the argument. Tim and Lucy leaped to motion and apprehended the client. Though now their jitters had been over colleagues presumably responding to the 911 name and recognizing them collectively!
At the station the subsequent morning, Tim and Lucy had simply started sketching out a canopy story — in case the incident report or a witness had famous they had been eating collectively — after they got a chance to check it on Nolan. But he merely wished to choose their mind on his concept that Celia and Aaron have a office romance summering.
An on-edge #Chenford then bought known as into Gray’s workplace, the place the sergeant launched right into a spiel about his views on officers courting one another. Assuming their very own jig was up — whereas I kinda wished it to be that Gray is just that observant — Tim and Lucy nodded alongside dutifully. Only to appreciate that, sure, Gray additionally suspected that Celia and Aaron had been hooking up. And he needs Chen and Bradford to speak to them in regards to the potential pitfalls!
Lucy pawned off her task on Nolan, whereas Tim confronted Aaron himself. Neither heart-to-heart went properly, suffice to say, with each Celia and Aaron responding with a model of “none of your bee’s was.” Though later, Celia made clear they had been merely D&D buddies. After all, Thorsen is a Scorpio yada yada.
And as for that Chenford date? At episode’s finish, they did a Take 2, foregoing one other go to to “the most romantic restaurant in L.A.” (?!) to as an alternative hit a meals truck. And have Lucy allude to tales they’ll sooner or later inform their grandkids! And have Tim pull Lucy in for a correct, first “real” kiss, to cap their second first date.
Elsewhere within the episode, and arguably as candy because the Chenford stuff, Wesley felt out Angela concerning perhaps making one other child. He was an solely baby, whereas she got here from a home of rambunctious brothers, so their POVs differed. Plus, Angela is hesitant to pause her detective profession once more so quickly. Ultimately, they agreed to revisit the subject in six months (or two years) — simply earlier than Nyla and James swung by to ask them to be Leah’s godparents!
