When she said it was the most important relationship in her life I literally gasped, because it's the most expressly open interaction they've ever had. The shyness they felt afterwards was so cute, but the smile on both of them at the end (knowing that they would start a future together) is one of the most beautiful moments I've seen in the series

I can't believe Chenford is finally happening. Every second of the last five years has been worth waiting for.

When she said their relationship is the most important one in her life and he realizes it's the same for him

[heatherelf]

I’m still shaking. Tim’s face when she said “Yes.” !!! We haven’t seen him make that face since she woke up after he sat by her bedside all night in Day of Death, 2x11. She is everything to him, he is everything to her. She showed him how to smile again and he taught her what love is supposed to be, and I’ll never be over it.

[Meggyys]

The way he takes a deep breath before knowing what he’s about to do. HE’S SO IN LOVE YALLL 🥹

[hawaiianbabe]

That deep nervous breath he had to take before working up the nerve to ask her was everything. And that giant smile on his face when she said yes made my heart explode!

[averyhazen]

Can we talk about Tim’s face for a second?!?! HIS FACIAL EXPRESSIONS absolutely GOOZED love and adoration!!!

[nanas]

Can we take a moment to appreciate how good Melissa and Eric are as actors? The hesitancy and the hope at the same time, the happiness to finally admit their feelings to each other... I felt everything, during this scene! They're wonderful!

[sabine]

When Tim said no this isn't about me, it's about you. He wasn't even trying to ask her out after, he was worried she'd settle for someone she isn't really happy with and that was so cute. And his smile afterwards was like a little kid getting candy. These two are so adorable and get each other

[maryburrows]

Such a sweet moment for them. And Tim’s realization that he is Lucy’s #1. She will always put him first - something he hasn’t had in his other relationships. He never came first, with his wife, Rachel or Ashley and especially not with his father. To hear Lucy tell him she can’t risk losing him gives him the courage to tell her that the risk is worth it. I like how the writers are having them actually date and develop their intimate relationship. It’s cute how they are nervous around each other and yet certain of their love. The background music was perfection. Can’t wait until Jan 3. 😊

Lucy’s reaction to “Unless it is” is just so wholesome. She wasn’t expected for Tim to ever turn over in the moment, without thinking about it. I love this scene so much!

I've watched this 300 times since it aired and I will do nothing else for the next week.

[NatashkaZen]

Dear ABC! I officially ask you not to screw them up. This is by far the deepest and longest relationship on the show, so don’t you dare make them suffer or separated. They deserve the best story ever. WE deserve them. Chenford is so marvelously played and lived. Keep them, cherish them.

[singtrue]

Tim's reaction to Lucy's confession is wonderful, but what really hit me is her surprise when he said it is worth the risk. She is honestly shocked that Tim feels the same way about her. That moment of disbelief is so relatable and real.

[hi.adri]

This so far, has been the most important and revolutionary chenford moment in all of The Rookie history. More important than the 2 kisses, the awkward eye contact, and even Tim holding Lucy after she had gotten out of the barrel. THEY ACTUALLY ADMITTED TO IT!!! Watching this episode felt like a fairytale come true ❤❤❤❤

[ashleighk]

My whole heart melted. I’ve watched this scene like 9273553 times. Literally hits me in the feels every single time. Thank you Alexi, Eric, Melissa, Bella the director, all of you for making such beautiful art and finally giving us Chenford. It’s beautiful.

[farim]

FINALLY!!!! I love them so much and there are so many things these two can still do together. Their chemistry is just perfect

[MacyIG]

His face when he was saying that it was actually worth the risk and his smile after she agreed to have dinner - I can watch these moments forever❤

[lucychens]

i still can't believe this is real the 5 year build up has been so so worth it. they're perfect for each other🥺 so SO excited to see how their relationship develops

[aviannacodner]

The way he said "yeah?"... My heart😍😍
