Summary
Tim may not have a major in psychology like Lucy, but he had gone through a traumatizing childhood and more than one round at war, not to mention the many years in patrol. He was able to see, first hand, the crazy things people could normalize in their heads and actually get used to. Some of them, although horrible, get stuck with you to the point where you can never fully go back.
He was now learning that the same could happen to not-at-all-horrible stuff as well.
Like kissing Lucy Chen, for example.

Summary
Finally, he turns back to the bar, wordlessly pouring her a shot of tequila. He slides it across the counter toward her, lifting his own glass in a silent gesture of cheers before downing the amber liquid in one fell swoop.
Lucy questions momentarily if maybe this isn’t the best idea — if adding alcohol to the intensity of the anger and grief and resentment that is still radiating off of him will result in anything other than regret.
But again, she opts to stay quiet. If this is what he needs in this moment, this is what she will give him.
She follows suit, wincing as the harshness of the liquor slides down the back of her throat.

Summary
*COMPLETED*
“So, what?” Jackson asked. “We make them hang out outside of work? How do we force two people to go on a date?”“Oh, no… you don’t,” Nyla answered. “Bradford and Chen on a date that they know is a date? At this point, it would be the most awkward thing in the world. We trick them into going out.”
A competitive and exhausted group of coworkers begin a bet to see who can plan the outing that finally pushes Lucy and Tim together.

Summary
Lucy burst into laughter, and Tim couldn’t help but smile reluctantly at the sound of it. It was a beautiful sound, her laugh, the way it bounced around the shop and made him feel more calm and lighter. Made him feel like he had achieved something by making her laugh, like he deserved a trophy to memorialize his success.
But less so when she was laughing at him, which she was definitely doing right now.

Summary
As much as Lucy wants to rearrange the world to make this easier, she knows the only thing she can do right now is be here for him—so that's exactly what she does.
(A continuation of THAT Chenford scene in "The Rookie" 4x09, "Breakdown"; fulfills the "holding hands" prompt on my Chenford Bingo 2021 card.)

Summary
She's walking and talking like Lucy, most of the time. She's laughing and joking. But then, somehow there's an odd energy to her he doesn't think was there before.
Tim/Lucy, on reciprocity in all things.

Summary
“And I pushed her right at him.”
Angela stares at him for a second, emotions flickering across her face. He recognizes most of them: frustration, annoyance, sympathy, and then something that looked like understanding and surprise; but can’t figure out what she’s thinking as she reaches forward and rests a hand on his arm.
“You weren’t looking for this, Tim. No one would have expected him to turn out a kidnapper. Lousy date, maybe, but we can’t always save each other from those.”
Lucy doesn't show up for work, and Tim knows it's all his fault.

Summary
“Were you watching me sleep?”
He doesn’t immediately answer. It’s Tim for yes.
She’d fallen asleep holding his hand and woken up with him again and it isn’t the morning after the worst day of her life anymore. It feels like what she’s been waiting for. It feels like permission.
OR - Tim and Lucy (really convincingly) fake date, fall for each other, and attend a wedding. Maybe not in that exact order.
