Everyone Prepare Your Clown Makeup

Everyone prepare your clown makeup 🤭

With the finale right around the corner, what are your wildest predictions for the episode? Feel free to clown as much as you want. 

And if you could have one scene in the finale, anything you want with any of the characters, what would it be?

Clown around, huh? Hmmm...

Okay, my most ridiculous but plausible suggestion for the Big Bad Boss is Nyla. She would make an amazing criminal mastermind. I know it isn't her, but I could even see her rocking super heroine style full body spandex well. A super, super villain. Am I right?

Slightly more realistically, the Big Bad could be Bautista's wife. She plays the fashionista by day and is a criminal mastermind by night. But her husband has no idea that she's doing any of it.

Le Fiera and Abril and Rosalind were all great villains, but they're all dead, so I guess those aren't good options.

It would be a fun twist if Ray was also working for the Big Bad or was the Big Bad Boss. Ooooo.... Or Greer who started all the dominoes in motion for Tim's fall/breakup/emotional implosion and then skipped town with no consequences. What if Greer was the Big Bad? Hmmm...

Not clowning - I think Elijah is most likely, but I want it to be Primm. And I want him to be caught and for everything he's done to be critically analyzed, including the detective's examinations.

I'd like to see Celina screw up (like she's been doing all along), and for there to be actual big consequences. She needs a push to start following the guidelines/protocols better, and Nolan needs to see he's not that good of a TO.

I'm looking forward to the Tim/Lucy action scene that we've seen snippets of so far. I hope it leads to an open, honest conversation about their feelings. I don't think they should be totally back together yet, but I'd like some actual conversations and honesty and forward progress.

Well, I've got 6 hours and 15 minutes to go until it airs at my house. Decent chance none of the things I mentioned above will happen. But it's fun to guess.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I am definitely not the one in charge around here.

What are your thoughts????

Happy watching!

Did anyone else think that Nolan’s scenes/story/lines were much better in 6x9? He was a real cop actually investigating without corny or fluffy or ridiculous lines or behaviors.

Any thoughts on why?

Coooooould it be that he didn’t have any scenes with Bailey? Does their lack of chemistry and forced-feeling relationship bring down his character? I suspect this is a good part of it.

Nothing against Jenna. They just don’t have good on screen chemistry. IMHO.

With the announcement of season 7 not airing until January, I may just be stuck right here in this moment for the next 8 months.

I love how Eric/Tim closes his eyes to just relish this moment, to memorize it. He just melts into her shoulder. He’s needed this hug for WEEKS (But his own self-hate and self-destructive behavior has been the only thing keeping it from him.)!!

“Are you okay?”

“I am now.”

😲🤯🫠🫠🫠🫥

I am *not* okay now.

Seriously. How am I supposed to wait 8 more months??? I REALLY hope that episode 10 delivers something more for those of us Chenford foreverers to hold onto for EIGHT FREAKING MONTHS.

I’m afraid I can’t make up my mind to any of these questions - hence the daydreaming.

The boss big bad? I really want it to be Elijah. He’s so good at being evil.

But, if he’s the boss, then wouldn’t Monica have asked him to look I to who was trying to kill her? They’re at the same jail.

I would also love to see Monica put in jail. But that may just be a pipe dream.

Other possibilities? Primm. Man, I would also love to see Primm be the big bad. Then so many other things would be called into question.

I’ve seen a lot of talk about others, including Pine who I think is less likely.

Thanks for taking the time to answer, Susie!

So many things could happen in the finale. I kept finding myself daydreaming up possibilities instead on focusing on the task as hand.

Soooo… I’m going to continue to distract others, too. Here are some questions you consider answering.

1- What do you think the cliffhanger will be?

(My only hope is that it doesn’t involve Tim or Lucy. They’ve both had a rough go of it this season)

2- What do you think the trilogy is that Max Geo has teased about for Chenford?

3- Do you think the BOSS Big Bad will be revealed? Any predictions for who it is??

Asking the hard hitting questions Virginia??

I very nearly didn’t answer, as I’m not very good predicting Alexi and co. But I’ll give it a shot.

2. I can only think of a third first kiss for Chenford, perhaps after the thrill of the chase our battle couple succumb to the feelings they’ve held back for weeks in the heat of the moment? That’s what my sad little romantic heart needs any way. It obviously won’t fix everything, and S7 hopefully will see a permanent resolution

1 & 3. I actually believe the identity of the big bad will be the cliffhanger. Unfortunately I also think it will be Elijah since Monica is obviously an instrument of evil, not a mastermind, and they have a connection to each other as well as hatred for Mid-Wilshire Division.

Now back to you? What have you been dreaming up in this regard?

Thanks for the ask, and I hope the distraction is only temporary, we need your wonderful fics to continue 💜

SPOILER for the The Rookie 6x10

I’m sure I will have more thoughts on my rewatch.

1- I need to stop ‘prepping’ for episodes. I get so disappointed from the cast’s teasing/promos/interviews leading to pretty average scenes. I hate that feeling of disappointment.

2- I’m happy that Tim and Lucy are talking. He told her he was in therapy and it was helping. Excellent progress. He told her he would spend his life trying to repay her kindness. Very good. But I was honestly expecting a little bit more because of bullet point #1. Yet again he left the conversation without letting her have her say. Let’s stop the one-sided conversations, please.

3- Their action scene was great. Not quite as awesome as 5x22, but Lucy’s jump was epic. Her risking her life to save his is 💯 on point for their relationship.

4- That was the least dramatic cliffhanger ever. I will NOT be on the edge of my seat until January over that. But thank the heavens that it wasn’t Tim or Lucy in peril of some sort. That was my one wish that came true for this episode.

5- Still no reveal of the Big Bad Boss? They just keep introducing new characters (and killing them off) to make this complicated web of evil, and we still don’t know who the true brains behind the operation is.

6- Geeeeez. Monica is in the wind, so we’re going to have to deal with her dominating the scenes again at the beginning of season 7. 🤨🙄

7- If I were Oscar, I would TOTALLY have picked Elijah as my muscle over Jason. Elijah has muscle AND money (on the outside). What does Jason really have to offer Oscar once they’re outside? He’s just a liability.

Now I’m going to go watch it again with my husband and I may be back with more thoughts. Sending out love and virtual hugs that this is the last new episode for 8 months. 😢🫶🏻🥰
