Tim’s promotion
We all saw the Eric’s spoiling Bradford’s promotion.
I just want to write down my opinion on it since I saw a lot of speculations and we are on a break anyway.
1: We know a promotion would have to happen eventually for Chenford to truly happen.
2: Tim wouldn't accept a promotion that would put a bigger obstacle to his relationship with Lucy because “it’s worth the risk”. We know he can refuse it if he wants to.
3:He’s happy with being a Sergeant and wouldn’t take a promotion that would put him in a bad mood. Lucy wouldn’t want that as well.
Which brings meta one of the theory floating around.
4: He won't take Grey’s job. We all saw how unhappy in 5x09 when he was in Grey’s role. He needs action, he needs to be on the streets. They told us that many times and Lucy knows that too. She won’t let him take a promotion he will be unhappy with only for them to be together.
5: He won’t became a watch commander in another station. In another Station, they would have to build a complete new set, have new roles and that would mean we would see way less of him. Logistic would be awful for them.
6: OR on another shift, P2 officier does sometimes works on night shift right?. So even if Tim becomes a Watch commander for the night shift, Lucy would sometimes fall under is command when she does night shifts. That wouldn't resolve their problems. Plus, the only time we would see them together is when they do work on the same shift.
7: While they are main characters they are not the lead, the show is still about Nolan. Would they transfert Tim, we would see way less of him at work and that doesn't mean we would see more of them in their routine, because they are not the lead. People wouldn't like to see less of him
So, I think they (perhaps Grey) will just open a new spot for him that require a new stipe and it will open a new line of command where Lucy won't fall under.
Ps: Some people are concern about Tru’s comments on Eric’s bird post about his absence. *where are you.. we’re waiting for you” (something like that). Keep in mind that we have no idea what’s going on behind the scene. They are showing us what they want to show us. They love to play with us. We barely had any Melissa and Eric’s BTS since the beginning of the year. Look where we are now.
