The Rookie Season 5 E12 Promo Chenford Fans-Approved; E14 Overview

Okay, before we get to our updated previews for ABC’s Nathan Fillion-starring The Rookie S05E12 “Death Notice” and S05E13 “Daddy Cop,” I just wanted to congratulate the Chenford fans out there. After nearly five seasons of following Tim (Eric Winter) & Lucy (Melissa O’Neil) and their evolving relationship, that faith & patience have been paying off in big ways this season. And it’s nice to see the show and the network acknowledge it (like the show’s Twitter account adding to its profile, “Also a #Chenford stan account”), and that’s especially the case with the following promo for next week’s chapter. Because as you’re about to see, nearly half of this clip is quality Chenford moments. So remember to drop a tweet to the show’s creators for showing the love…
