As I was watching "Day of Death" a couple of weeks ago (as one does), I paused on this whiteboard to see what it said, and something stuck out to me.

On this whiteboard detailing the events of the night that Lucy was abducted, someone wrote this:

The board says:

hates cats (won't tell anyone)

sucks on lemons

This seems to be personal facts about Lucy that have been included with facts about the case. It's possible these points are about Caleb — maybe things that Lucy relayed to Tim while she was looking Caleb up on social media — but since it's stated repeatedly in the episode that they have "squat" to go on about him, it's more likely that these points are about Lucy.

I have two theories for why these bizarre points are on this board: an in-universe explanation (grounded in the story and the characters), and an out-of-universe explanation (grounded in reasons related to the actual creation of the show).

In-universe: Tim and/or Jackson, desperate to contribute to the investigation, were yelling out whatever they could think of to help build the case.

Now, I can't guess why anyone could have seen these particular tidbits as possibly relevant. But since they all had so little to go on, it would seem that they were throwing absolutely anything at the wall to see what would stick.

This theory mostly stems from the way that Tim was regurgitating every little thing he knew about Caleb the moment he knew that Lucy was missing. His wild spouting of facts is rather out of character: Tim is usually in control, focused on the job. But when Lucy is missing, logic flies out the window for him.

He tells Grey about the video of Caleb playing with a puppy, why?? Because it's all the information he has to offer to the case. Even if it's not really pertinent, he says it, because he doesn't know what could help Lucy. Also, he's not fully in control of his actions, and he's possibly suffering from motormouth.

I include Jackson as a possible contributor because he is probably the person who is second-most concerned about Lucy, plus one of the people who knows her best, and he has a history of babbling when stressed (I'm thinking of season 1, episode 13, "Caught Stealing," when he tells the Internal Affairs investigator about the gifted creme brulee completely unprompted lol). But in my Chenford shipper heart, I want to say Tim was the one to make these less than helpful contributions.

I can picture Armstrong writing out all this information about Lucy's whereabouts the night of her abduction, stating facts that they know, and Tim and/or Jackson blurting out personal details that might (somehow) give them a clue about where Lucy is now. Maybe Armstrong writes out the addresses of where she was on December 8th, then the stuff about other victims, and then he says, "What else do we know?" and then Tim and/or Jackson start wildly interjecting. They know literally nothing else that is relevant, so all they can say is random trivia about Lucy. And Armstrong, who can see that emotions are very high right now, writes it down to placate them? Or because he's like, "Irrelevant information is better than no information"? (I'm not sure how a detective would think in this scenario.)

Out-of-universe: Some of the set decorators or other crew were messing around, writing down whatever on the boards, and someone forgot to erase this. 😆

I like the in-universe explanation better, since the writing is rather large and this behaviour by Tim and/or Jackson would be consistent with what we see earlier in the episode.

i'm always a normal girl in my bedroom until i think back to lucy's face when tim was cradling her to his chest after saving her life.

I finally did it and wrote a One-shot about the Rookie!!!

How could he say that when he had just breathed the life back into her. How could he joke when the taste of her lips was still lingering on his and the dirt beneath his fingernails felt like glass shards digging holes into him.

Alright, I just need to ramble my love and excitement over the Rookie coming back! I’ve been obsessing over Chenford (Tim x Lucy) for the past few months. (Even started up this side blog!)

I’m not normally a cop tv show watcher so it’s been a different experience to binge the Rookie but my god, do I just really love this slow burn, emotional and physical, in-depth and heartfelt characters and relationship of these two. And of course, the hotness of them both plays a role. How can it not?!

There are so many goddamn tropes. The height difference? Grumpy vs. Sunshine. Enemies to Friends to Lovers. Undercover/Fake Relationship. Denial of Feelings. Forbidden Romance. Soulmates. Being at your lowest point and being brought back up. Literal white knight and damsel in distress (both of them!) while simultaneously kickass power couple. Lucy is just so smoll. Tim conveys so much with his eyes and micro expressions.

I'm still new to the Rookie fandom but I’ve loved binging this series after season five was already out so I knew Chenford was endgame. It made it an easy and fun watch to see these characters progress individually and together. Binging made me fine with seeing them in other relationships, as they took what they needed, realized what they didn’t have, and grew closer together.

So many chances for these two to have gotten together earlier (and I love those fics) but I’m glad it was five seasons of a slow burn. The build up was so worth it. To see Lucy completely break down Tim’s walls and help him see the good in the world. To see Tim push Lucy to excel, and then to show absolute faith in her as he acknowledges her skills and talents. They hit all the love languages. Anyways rant over, Chenford just makes me happy. I can't wait to watch my first canon couple in real time (also slightly afraid haha).

Also this fandom is so talented. Just wow.

No me busques en una tumba, en una urna, en un panteón. Tu bien sabes que nunca me gustó el encierro, y ahora que mi cuerpo ya no es prisión soy para siempre tuyo y del viento.

Búscame en la simpiterna de octubre, pintando de morado el cerro, búscame en los 400 pétalos del cempasuchil, tú qué sabes cuánto amaba las flores, los olores y los colores.

Búscame en una mañana llena de niebla, escondido entre los cedros y las chacas, bajando por el manantial de agua fresca, surcando el cielo con las garzas.

Búscame cuando el sol de mediodía te envuelva entre sus rayos haciéndote buscar la sombra de un guayabo, recuérdame ahí con su aroma.

Búscame una tarde lluviosa en la taza de café que tú corazón reconforta, en los momentos felices que pasamos juntos, en nuestras plática más inverosímil.

Ya no me llores porque me afliges, se que es duro ya no poder vernos, pero aún podemos sentirnos, acompañarnos, y sobretodo amarnos, porque se va el cuerpo pero el amor es eterno y no entiende de materia, tiempo o espacio.

Así que me quedo aquí, contigo, y con todas las cosas que ame y que cada día me hicieron sentir vivo, y también me quedo dormido, en el pecho de la muerte piadosa, liberadora, incomprendida y a veces repudiada, pero tan nuestra como la vida misma, tan serena y tranquila que nadie lo creería.

Te espero aquí, y te acompaño cada día, camina a tu ritmo, no hay prisa, yo ya estoy contigo, esperando cada día ver tu sonrisa, verte explotando cada segundo, cada minuto, cada maravilla que nos regala tu mundo, y cuando vengas aquí te espero, para tomarnos un mezcal y brindar por lo maravillosa que fue la vida.

Chenford + DOD tattoo

It happens involuntarily.

One moment, Tim is stepping up behind her and sliding his arms around her torso as he buries his nose in her hair, and the next, she’s inhaling sharply and flinching away from his touch.

Tim jerks as though he’s been scalded, arms flying away from her as he takes a large step back and slams his elbow against the refrigerator in the process.

“Lucy.”

“Sorry,” she mutters.

“Did I hurt you?”

She shakes her head, but she still has her back to him and she’s clenching the edge of his kitchen counter so tightly her fingers are white, so he’s not exactly convinced.

She’s taking deep, measured breaths, Tim notices, so he focuses on the rise and fall of her shoulders and attempts to synchronize his own breathing with hers. He’s not entirely successful, but by the time Lucy finally turns to face him he’s feeling marginally less panicked.

Her left hand rises to press against her ribs, and Tim instantly realizes his mistake.

“Shit,” he breathes. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay.” Lucy takes a step toward him as she speaks, her right hand gently lifting to rest on his arm as her left slowly falls to her side. “You just caught me off guard.”

“I should have…”

“No,” she interrupts before he can finish whatever he’s planning to say. “You shouldn’t have. I never asked you not to touch me there.”

“But…”

“No,” she says, more determinedly this time, because she needs him to understand her. She places both hands flat against his chest, not pushing him away, but not a gentle caress either, and it serves its purpose as he falls silent. “Tim, listen to me. It happens. Not as often as it used to, but it does, and I can’t deal with your guilt every time. You’re not the one who tattooed me. It’s not your fault.”

Rationally he knows what she's saying is true, but rationality isn't always enough to quell the feelings of guilt that sometimes overwhelm him. And though he knows he didn't hurt her just now and he knows her reaction isn't his fault, he can't help but feel awful that his touch was the trigger.

But she's right; this can't be about him.

thinking about "i-i pushed her right at him" and how guilty tim felt about giving lucy the advice to go out with caleb, and how he is going to feel like he's responsible for putting her in the hospital again if it really is this person from his past who targets her.

#*carly catalogs #the rookie #the rookie s6 #day of death #tim bradford #lucy chen #chenford #otp: you know me so well #t: 'she went out with caleb because i told her to' #a: 'you couldn't have known' 🥺💔 #YOU COULDN'T HAVE KNOWN BABYYYYY 😭😭😭😭😭😭 #to quote hen from 911 'psychopaths don't generally announce that they're psychopaths' #god he's gonna crumble so hard if that's really the case #he's gonna be kicking himself so hard like 'this is all my fault. how could i have done this to her again?' #and then he's gonna go rogue bc 1) no one gets away with betraying tim bradford #and b) more importantly you hurt the woman i love and now i'm gonna pull you inside out #GIMMIE THIS FUCKING EPISOOOODDDEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Moreover, the “sting” of death has been removed as Christ, the “seed” of the woman (Gen. 3:15), crushes the serpent’s head and defeats evil, even if that defeat is still working itself out in time. ~ Cole Hartin
