chenford are definitely getting back together
the moment lucy said that she was considering taking the sergeant exam i KNEW where this is headed. she would pass, they start dating again. and IT WOULD FINALLY BE A STABLE RELATIONSHIP. i think the reason the writers broke them up was so they can work of tim's personality, make him more emotionally available and secure. then have them get their happily ever after. cuz now tim is a MESS. he threw away his job and relationship to put a stop to ray. he never realized how much lucy's undercover career bothered him. but now we see he's improving! talking emotionally to people, being more honest with himself, smiling more (comparing s1 tim with s7 tim is completely different people), and even, and treating lucy right even if they were just coworkers. so yeah. CHENFORD WEDDING IN S8!!
