For me personally, a big distinction that needs to be made with this episode is... Lucy isn't all alone. She may feel alone, but we absolutely do see people other than Tim surrounding her, albeit in small ways, as dictated by the circumstances. Reminder that there are protocols to be followed in this situation (there's an officer posted in her room for a reason).
Bailey telling Nolan that Lucy was "an absolute badass out there" and mentioning that they're waiting to hear news
Aaron specifically says, "I came to see if there's any news on Lucy's shooting." So while we don't see him with her, he's clearly in her corner.
Celina is paying close attention to the situation too, albeit from a distance (again, protocols)
As Watch Commander and Assistant District Attorney, Grey and Wesley are following the appropriate guidelines for the situation. But even so, we see Grey making a dude wtf face when Wesley mentions about "should he die from his injuries at a later time"
(I certainly wish we saw Angela and Nyla's involvement in the aftermath, but I'm running with the assumption that they're dealing with the case still?)
“she doesn’t want to give up her position, smart girl” SEE THIS IS THE NYLA AND ANGELA AND LUCY DYNAMIC I KNOW AND LOVE YES THANK YOU they restored what was once good and pure and beautiful about this show thank god
okay but the breath of relief angela let out after lucy put her hand up to signal to her and nyla that she was okay, someone please explain to me why they're not as thick as thieves after 6 fucking seasons???? they're the og girlies from the very beginning!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
They were all business. They didn't play favouritism or try to console her with having her work the case. Lucy didn’t make a detective fair or not. That's the reality.
She is a patrol officer, so they dealt with her as such. she wasn't the responding officer, Nolan was, so it wasn't fair to take her in. They're no longer teaching her for the position.
Bradsen together is comedic gold! Can't wait! Hope Aaron gets the help he needs. Also, peep the 180 Tim does from talking to Wade to talking to Aaron.
There are so many people asking about where's Lucy? in The Rookie's comments and throwing out injury speculations. She doesn't need to be in every single clip. Tim would not be this calm if Lucy was in trouble. And neither would Grey, Harper, et.al.
