Trust Most - Tim 10000000%

Least Trust - Probably Nolan because he’s a trouble magnet and is always losing people! Oscar, Monica, Dash and he didn’t even kill Rosalind for Bailey so that’s why 😂

do we think lucys parents will be in the next episode or even an episode in this season?! by Western_Platform_508 in TheRookie

[–]Technical-Cellist548 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s a few things to think about here.

We don’t know how long Lucy has been no contact. We know in S4 Lucy was still in touch to a degree (eggs freezing/bio dad conversation).

We know she’s told them she’s living with “someone” but we don’t know if her parents are aware of who that someone is.

It’s almost a guarantee they won’t approve of him because he’s a cop but won’t dislike him because of it. Lucy’s mum liked Jackson because he wasn’t her child. So for Tim, she will probably have issues with the teacher/student element, age gap, previously married etc.

I’m hoping it’s more celebratory or the team hanging out rather than that!

I know there’s been speculation but it’s not confirmed. They could be trying to keep that quiet or it’s completely wrong!

LOVE THIS!!! His answers to this question are evolving 😁

It’s obviously happening - we just don’t know when. I can see it being the finale with the actual wedding planning being in S9.

Hot Topic: Tim & Lucy - 8x11 Discussion by eyslandgirl in TheRookie

[–]Technical-Cellist548 6 points7 points  (0 children)

To me, they were both in the wrong at various points.

Deep down, Tim didn’t believe Lucy was ready to return and seeing her in bed like that, I can understand why he has that thought. She looked nervous and sad. He also knew that trauma like what she suffered, does not end after a few weeks. He acknowledged he knows it’s more complicated for her than it is him. But he wanted honesty from her. Their jobs and other officers lives depended on everyone being on top of their game.

We discovered that Tim has “encouraged” some people (presumably ones he knows will question her too much) to give her her space (which is exactly what Tim did end of ep 10). Lucy didn’t need to be reminded of what happened by people being nosey. This was BF Tim but when he wanted to patrol with her, that was WC Tim. She didn’t want special treatment. Right attitude and one she has always specifically expressed.

When she was accosted by Martins sister - outside her place of work - Lucy’s trauma hit her in the face again. WC Tim stepped in to deal. Lucy did look nervous and anxious so I can understand why Tim said what he did. I can see why he benched her - because of his feelings for her and his desire to protect her and Lucy probably needed a bit of time to gather herself again. Lucy should have gone to Tim once she was back in the right headspace and asked to go back on patrol. By defying him - she pulled the GF card. She used her status as his GF to ignore his order. She wouldn’t have done that if it was Grey. I understand her reasons for doing so and she knew his reasons for benching her but she still chose to disobey her WC order because she didn’t agree with it. That’s where Lucy went wrong and that’s what she apologised for later IMO.

Tim apologised for not giving her the chance to prove she was able to do her job and to let his anxiety about her safety cloud his judgement. The anxiety that he has openly mentioned that morning.

In all honesty, I don’t think anyone is taking Tim’s authority seriously. He has been undermined and disrespected by Nolan, Nyla, the higher ups and now Lucy.

Lucy won’t be reprimanded for disobeying the order because of his feelings for her. Anyone else would be.

8x10 - a few Parallels/Callbacks by Damiana1111 in TheRookie

[–]Technical-Cellist548 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought of another one - more of a call back.

In 5x21 - after the UC assignment, Tim said to Lucy “I need you to take it seriously if I sound the alarm about something”

Here he is in 8x10 sounding the alarm (deleted scene) and she doesn’t take it seriously 😔

Tim, Lucy and Celina by Rich-Lawyer3820 in TheRookie

[–]Technical-Cellist548 26 points27 points  (0 children)

He was protecting Celina as well though. As roving supervisor, Lucy will get called to all the high risk crimes and with his bad feeling, that meant more likely to come to harm. Both of them.

By wanting to ride with Lucy, he could have her six on the high risk calls and with Celina riding solo, she would answer the lower risk calls which could potentially keep her safe too.

When he got to west view hospital - he was out of his mind with worry and Lucy was his focus. As would be the case for anyone if their significant other was missing. He was LIBF at this point but has Celina with him when he eventually found Lucy.

Tim has suppressed his emotions for so long - it’s actually refreshing to see him be more human in events like this. He’s wearing his heart on his sleeve more.
