Nyla: Hey, what’s up?

Bailey: The sky.

Nyla: No, I meant like, what are you doing?

Bailey: Oh, John.

John: *Highfives Bailey* Nice!

The Rookie timeline drives me bonkers.

Nolan and Bailey decided to try for a baby literally seconds after the Chenford break-up. But in this episode (6x7 which is only 1 day long), Nolan consoles Bailey that it’s only been TWO WEEKS.

But when Grey talks to Tim about his first day back on patrol, he says he’s been reprimanded for reckless behavior and broken up with his girlfriend WITHIN THE LAST WEEK.

This somewhat confirms my suspicion that the writers for Nolan and Bailey don’t talk to the writers for Chenford.

The Bailan team is dishing out love and happiness. The Chenford team is trying the dig the hole deeper each with each episode and enjoys watching their main characters struggle.

The Bailan team LOVES cheesy lines, awkward scenes, and sexy references that are anything but sexy. The Chenford team seems to be preferring soul-crushing breakups, a strong theme of dishonesty, and a focus on mental health.

It’s like watching two different shows that cross over each other occasionally.

Main Cast becoming Endgame

[chennsbradford]

Ok so I spent the last hour trying to figure out the rookie timeline. When you look at dates given it just doesn’t work at all but if you ignore that and go by amount of time we are told passes, like 6 month exams, time cards aka “3 months later” or “1 month later” stuff and births of children then it makes more sense so here it is:

Timeline:

S1-S4 ep1: 14 months. (Nolan extra month of rookie year, promoted to P2 4x1)

S1: 6 months, midterm exams s1 ep20.

S2 ep 1: 2 weeks after s1 finale

S3 ep 9: 5 1/2 months later, Lucy and Jackson become p2s

S3x9 - S4x1: all in 1 month, Angela kidnapped, Jackson dies, Nolan is a P2

S4 ep1: end of ep is 3 months later (time card is given, Angela rescued and skip to baby coming home after birth)

S4 ep2: We meet new rookie Aaron Thorsen

S5 ep2- S5 ep3: confirmed 1 month time jump. Lucy finished uc school, Nolan finishes FTO school, Aaron has been promoted to P2

S4 ep2-s5 ep3: about 13 months

S5 ep2: Leah is born

S5 ep3: New rookie celina introduced, we know she will graduate to p2 in 13 months.

S5 ep9: “a few months” into Celina’s rookie year she is implicated in the death of a suspect in her custody

S5 ep10: Chenford first date. Leah is confirmed 5 months

S5 ep12: Tim tells Grey him and Lucy started dating “a few weeks ago”. Angela finds out she is pregnant

S5 ep20: Tim confirms him and Lucy have been dating for “a few months”

S5 ep:22: Angela gives birth. Probably been about 6-7 months if she is about 10 weeks pregnant when she takes the test.

In simple terms:

So start of S1 - end of S4 ep 1: 17 months.

Start of S4 ep2 - S5 ep3: 13 months.

S5 ep2- S5 ep10: 5 months

End of S5 ep 9 - S5 ep12: 3-4 weeks

S5 ep12 - s5 ep22: 6-7 months

So the events of the rookie has taken place in about 3 1/2 years

Whew that was a lot but yea😭

John x Bailey Appreciation Post

The Hammer - S06 x E02

Yes, this is an appreciation post for Bailan. They had really cute moments in this episode that made me smile. Plus John was killing that Star Wars: Galaxy Edge t-shirt. That man can really fill out those tees...🔥🔥🔥

[chenford-fan]

Mel graced us with this beautiful video of the whole cast!

[hecckyeah]

[leslieseveride]

THEYRE NOT GONNA HAVE A BABY!!!!!!!

[chenford24-7]

**Spoiler Alert for Bailey/Nolan

Thank god Bailey will not be 🤰🏻

[rebelcaptain4life]

This show really needs to work on its pacing cuz the whiplash of going from chenford breakup to bailan baby making is insane

BAILAN WEDDING • BAILEY’S BACHELORETTE PARTY • CHENFORD DANCE • WOPEZ AND JAYLA • POSSIBLE AARON AND CELINA MOMENT OH I AM SEATED OMGGGG ‼️😍💯🙌🥰🎬🩷💜💙

[shelbbswrites]

It’s ALMOST time for Bailan’s wedding on The Rookie’s milestone 100th (!!!) episode.

There is SO MUCH to look forward to — familiar faces (Randy & Chastity?!), a Chenford dance, Wopez & Jyla, and MORE.

And I'm assuming there will be a bit of Chenford angst when their relationship is put to the test, per the episode's synopsis.

But The Rookie has proven that angst can be a VERY good thing for Lucy and Tim — individually and as a couple — in the long run. I’m excited!

John Nolan & Bailey Nune Wedding

Thoughts on The Rookie 6x02

This might include some repeats of things I've already said/posted, but I wanted to include it here just to get all of my thoughts in one place lol

Daddy Cop 😂😂😂😂😂😂

For a hot second, I thought it was the wrong episode

The choir showed up and then the guitarist. PURE GOLD I LOVE IT SO MUUUCCCHHH

Nolan was so pissed 🤣

Henry called Bailey. Too cute

Nolan literally had a jump scare seeing Randy 😂 He's so unhinged and I love it every time

Luna is always wonderful. She's close to everyone under her husband's command too

Tim shutting his office door with Lucy standing outside was so despondent :(

Yes, the angst is there, but so is the humor, and that, overall, out-weighed the angst. The humor on this show is always top tier. I'm always here for it

The scene between Lucy, Tim, and Angela is one of my favorites, tbh. Angela is such a chaos gremlin and I love her for it. And more Chenford arguing. It's not light hearted like it usually is, but I like to see the different sides to their relationship.

Angela: Let what go? Tim and Lucy: Nothing.

... Tim: Fine. Whatever. Lucy: Great. Angela: Maybe I'll go too. Grab some popcorn on the way for the show Tim: You're not funny Angela: I'm hysterical. Ask Wesley THIS IS WHY I LOVE HER

Gotta admit, Nolan and Bailey both trying to keep each other from finding out things to keep the other calm is pretty cute.

This DJ is so unhinged lol. Bailey shooed Nolan out being like "please don't arrest this guy and make our wedding even more difficult than it already is." First the switchblade, then a robbery, and the molly was the last straw 😂 Bailey's face said it all

Lucy being like, "ok, go ahead" and Tim saying "ladies first" I just-- 😂😂 They're so perfect for each other

Reason #95238 that Lucy Chen is amazing: "I have to look amazing in a dress tomorrow. Nobody care what you look like. He's huge. I'm not fighting him." Tim fighting this giant ass dude simply because his girlfriend asked him to will never not be hilarious and pretty adorable to me. And the fact that the only reason she didn't want to fight him was because she wanted to look good in her dress will never not be badass to me

The Hammer just THREW Tim into those cabinets, across a table, into a TV, over the back of a couch, and against a bed not once but twice. Tim HELD HIS OWN. I know it shouldn't have been, but it was really hot. Poor baby crawled to the coffee table for the ring. THEN, proceeded to hand it to his girlfriend while on one knee and bleeding. LUCY AND I ARE BOTH ABSOLUTELY FINE I PROMISE. He didn't realize it at first, but he definitely did once Lucy stood there stuttering at him. He tried to hand it to her and she just sort of froze. Her brain short circuited and he panicked, and it was all perfect. She still managed to compliment him on the fight though 😂

Lucy: Good job Tim: Yeah, thanks Lucy: You ok? Tim: Yeah, I'm great. *falls over*

It's too funny 😂😂

Angela and Nyla are bestie goals 😁🥰

I love the cuts between the bachelor and bachelorette parties 

Celina bringing up Lucy's future bachelorette party because she knows that she and Tim are a forever kind of thing 😩

Lucy scooted so far into Tim, oh my God. Bestie was practically in his lap

Lucy: I knew it! You just kill them?! Tim: Yes! Because they're bugs.

 I can't, they exasperated way Tim said 'yes!" was just hilarious to me

The little breath that Tim lets out before he says yes to loving Lucy was like, "Do you really even have to ask? Yes, of course I love you. There's no other option."

Tim and Lucy spotting each other across the courtyard and then again across the dance floor. They're always going to find each other whether it's buried alive in the desert or at a friend's wedding, which seems to be their thing now 😩

Aw Luna finishing her degree. I seriously love her and I love her and Grey together. He's so supportive of her, it's just so clear that they're a strong, loving unit

"Sit down, German" had me wheezing. Grey's delivery is everything 😂😂😂

Bailey's entrance was pretty adorable, ngl

A lot of people were saying how Bailey's vows were really beautiful and how it was so great seeing her say those things and mean it after she had been in an abusive marriage, and I couldn't agree more. She was right, what she said was simple, but it covered everything it needed to. And I think it was really beautiful in its simplicity. Nolan's vows were really great too. He's not normally great with words, but it was really sweet, and it's really obvious how much does cherish Bailey. 

Ah and Henry made it!! I miss seeing him. I do wish we got to see Abigail too though. I LOVED her. Plus, their relationship is adorable. 

The dance floor scene with everybody was so cute, omg!! I loved it. Everybody looked so happy and like they were having so much fun. Jenna even said it felt like a real wedding

Aaron and Celina watching Lucy look at Tim across the dance floor was amazing. They're so invested in their relationship, and I think it's hilarious. Chenford had groupies on screen too 🤭😂

I felt so bad for Aaron. He's not handling everything very well, and I do think he was kinda hyper-focusing on Celina a little. It's natural after a shared trauma like that. But he tried to kiss her and she shut him down. It was sad. I was really trying not to like them as a couple, but I kinda do now. IDK

Chenford rampage incoming:

It seems like they arrived separately, but they still sat together at the ceremony and honestly looked like they were enjoying themselves. So to me, that's just an other testament of how solid they are even if though they're fighting

Tim couldn't take it anymore and went pulled Lucy onto the dance floor. He knows they have more talking to do, but he wanted to be close to her. And her pulled her out to If I Ain't Got You of all songs. ARE YOU JOKING????? *squeaks* The way he looked at her when he walked over to her and the way Luna looked at Lucy AHHHHHH. Nope, Imma need a minute

Lucy dragged her hand down Tim's chest and looked him up and down and Tim leaning into her, looking at her lips like LET ME BREATHE

Lucy running her hand through his hair

AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME THIS WAS JUST A COINCIDENCE 

Lucy did not say, "We're gonna get through this. I love you." with this playing in the background just for the hell of it 

Some people want it all

But I don't want nothing at all 

If I ain't got you, baby

Some people want diamond rings

Some just want everything

But everything means nothing

If I ain't got you, yeah

IT WAS DELIBERATE BESTIES 

More thoughts on their fight. Highly recommend checking out the points @sylvies-chen, @morganupstead, and @sisterofficerlucychen made. Of course, my thoughts are also in there

When Lucy said that she loved Tim, in true Chenford fashion, and despite the serious moment, Tim couldn't help but argue (affectionate) with her saying he wasn't sure until he hooked her up to a lie detector. Lucy smacking him. Ugh I just love their banter so much

Aaron came up behind them and Tim was so caught off guard. His facial expressions were very on point for annoyed!Tim. Plus, Aaron was right. Chenford is solid. I'm not worried about them. Is there going to be angst in the future? Yes. Is it going to break them? Not a chance. Their relationship is strong. It's built on friendship and mutual respect. Tim has always respected Lucy, even as a rookie. Yeah, she annoyed him, but she had the guts to stand up to him in ways that no other rookie did, or would have survived doing

EXSQUEEZE ME where you y'all coming from that you came up the stairs together??

end of chenford ramage 

James offering to get everyone's go-bags and Wesley automatically jumping into help. They're helping their women and being good friends. I love it

"Sit you ass down and do some praying" This is why I love Tim 😂

Randy and Chastity being the responsible ones for once keeping Aaron occupied

Super random, but why does Nolan have police lights in his personal truck, but Tim doesn't? You'd think a Metro Liaison Sergeant having them would be more likely than a random training officer 

Celina, my love, this is why you bring backup when you go to meet CIs

Tim in a dress shirt and tie with rolled up sleeves. Dear God   🥵🥵

I was not expecting Nolan to just throw the guy out the window. He's the most laid back out of all of him, and he didn't even hesitate, just pushed him out of at least a second story window. I-- 🤨😂

Poor Bailey flopped on the bed just still in her wedding dress 😂
