When Tim broke up with Lucy, he believed he wasn’t good enough to be with her. However, after their split, Tim has been attending therapy in The Rookie season 7 and working on bettering himself. These kind of changes don’t happen overnight, though. As a result, it might still be a while before Tim and Lucy rekindle their romance in the ABC show (despite the events of “Wildfire”).
Tim Confesses He’s Still In Love With Lucy In The Rookie Season 7, Episode 8
The Ex-Couple Almost Dies In A Wildfire
Although they are broken up, Tim and Lucy share an iconic moment in The Rookie season 7, episode 8. They get trapped between two wildfires, and rescue can’t get to them fast enough. So, Tim and Lucy grab a foil fire blanket from the squad car, lay on the ground, tuck themselves under the blanket, and brace for the flames. As most fictional characters do while on the brink of death, Tim then makes a heartfelt confession. He tells Lucy he’s still in love with her (which shocks no one, including Lucy).
Of course, the memorable moment between Tim and Lucy in The Rookie season 7, episode 8 isn’t like most love declarations in TV shows and movies. The writers make sure that the scene remains true to the characters, resulting in one of the best, most Chenford-coded moments in The Rookie‘s history.
A love confession underneath a foil fire blanket won’t magically solve [Tim and Lucy’s] issues.
Tim says that he has to tell Lucy something. She tells him not to, though, because she already knows what he’s going to say — he’s in love with her. Tim asks if she feels the same way, but Lucy claims it doesn’t matter, to which he responds, “So that’s a yes.” The dialogue is chaotic, rushed, desperate, sarcastic, and everything one would expect from a Chenford scene, which is why it’s one of their best.
