Happy #Chenford week to all who celebrate!! If you don't know what #Chenford week is, check out Twitter, Tumblr and the FanFiction(ao3, Fanfiction.net, etc) websites. Basically it's the week between Eric and Melissa's birthdays where #TheRookie fandom pays homage to their characters with fun fan edit videos, tweets, FanFiction and more. It's a lot of fun, and it's great to see everyone's creativity shine. Melissa and Eric have recognized it as well.
This week, Kari and Jennifer join in on the #Chenford week fun, and talk about the Chenford parts in 1x07 and 2x03. After the episode discussion, they talk about their top 10 #Chenford moments, either before they were canon or after they became a couple.

The season finales have aired, and they brought the action and suspense. The Rookie, 5x22 left us on the edge of our seats, and gave us a double cliffhanger. While The Rookie Feds gave us more reasons why we love the partnerships and dynamics in the show, and we need more of it in season 2(which is yet to be announced).
