Sadly, Tim and Lucy’s relationship would possibly finish earlier than it really begins in The Rookie Season 5 Episode 19.

The earlier hour was one other installment into the present’s true crime documentary specials. And this time, the documentary crew (spearheaded by The Rookie creator and showrunner Alexi Hawley) had been filming an exposé on Jake Butler and Sava, aka Dim and Juicy (Tim and Lucy’s doppelgangers). Coincidentally, whereas interviewing the LAPD about Tim and Lucy’s earlier undercover work, Dim went lacking. And Aaron Thorsen later found Dim useless in a dumpster.

They’re nonetheless to start with levels of their romance, and it’s not unusual for exhibits to check new {couples}. Sadly, we received’t know if this newest hurdle will make or break “Chenford” till episode 19 drops.
