How Chenford Navigates Being Back Together on ‘The Rookie’

[Warning: The below contains MAJOR spoilers for The Rookie Season 8 Episode 2 “Fast Andy.”]

Chenford settles into a new normal in the Tuesday, January 13, episode of The Rookie. They’re back together, they’re living together, and both have new jobs at work. But can they find the right balance?

With Grey (Richard T. Jones) accepting the position with the task force, Tim (Eric Winter) is the new watch commander, and Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) is the roving supervisor. But before their shift officially starts, Lucy stops in Tim’s new office as “Girlfriend Lucy,” or rather, LIGF, “Live-In Girlfriend Lucy,” with a couple of things to say: “Good luck, you’ve earned this, and you’ve got this.” Then, LIGF Lucy clocks out, and Sergeant Chen takes over. Tim finds it weird, but Lucy explains, “Our jobs are too important to let our relationship interfere. We really need to be professional.”
