3:42 & 3:51 - their conversation is low on PURPOSE because the background music was clashing with the piano. I’m sorry! PLEASE KEEP READING FOR FULL ANALYSIS

In this first half of season 5, episode 5 has to be my favorite so far! What’s your favorite episode so far? Comment down below. #Therookie #Chenford

0:17 - Lucy was so much in a hurry to come and see Tim and thought he was alone but she was caught off-guard when she saw Ashley so she says “looking for bad guys” but she was actually coming to check on Tim.

0:20 - Tim is relieved to see Lucy and didn’t want her to go so he asks something that’s OBVIOUS (that’s why Lucy said we’ve been cops for more than 10 seconds) because he wanted to make her stay somehow.

0:30 - Lucy is SO worried that’s she’s trying to look at the tablet to see if she can get a glimpse of what’s going on.

01:09 - Lucy is not comfortable with the idea of the surgery and she’s trying to use her eyes (something they usually do) to express how deeply concerned she is and that’s why Tim also glances at her, expressing his worry.

01:18 - Lucy wants to talk more about her concern about the surgery but Ashley sits so Lucy excuses herself because she felt like a third wheel and she got jealous.

02:12 - Lucy is touched and surprised that Tim didn’t want her to worry.

02:24 - Tim realizes that he slipped up a little (he loses control around her and this season we see him struggling with that) and he quickly tries to retract his statement.

02:33 - Lucy knows Tim is right but doesn’t want to give him the satisfaction of him knowing so she turns to the side so he doesn’t read it on her face.

02:38 - Tim is so proud her and couldn’t help but show it with the soft smile of satisfaction on his face because he knew she could do it and didn’t want her distracted by the news of his condition (he’s her biggest cheerleader)

03:00 - Tim lied about Ashley but he was saying truth because he wasn’t talking about Ashley’s exhaustion on a literal level. It was metaphorical. Ashley WAS exhausted with his lifestyle which is due to his career.

There are so many beautiful moments that I tried to highlight. You’ll notice those moment are brighter and slower. I love how the show continues to incorporate parallels. It’s so beautiful! I can analyze this episode forever! The writers did a great job.
