If you could choose 5 Chenford scenes to rewrite, which would you choose, and how would you rewrite them?

At first glance this seemed easy, but as I started to think about it more, I realized a lot of scenes I might want to rewrite bc maybe I disagree with something they do or say, are the scenes that largely contributed to their character growth in the end.

I would start with 5x20 ending scene, because the same way Tim always said to Lucy that she needs to listen to him if he sounds the alarm, that was her sort of sounding an alarm. She shared something vulnerable with him and in turn he didn't meet her halfway. If he'd opened up during that scene, and it was such a lovely set up, I think they would have avoided the whole fight in s6 (but I love that fight so would I really rewrite it? See my problem?)

One of the big ones and this is gonna get me banned from the fandom probably, I'd rewrite their getting together. Replace the ridiculous doppelganger storyline and instead have them come together in a more organic less forced way. I realize I'm alone in this, but I'm not the biggest fan of the whole early s5 storyline, leading us to think that if Tim and Lucy never found their doppelgangers, they would never have realized they love each other? Get outta here. This coming from the writers who said they didn't want chenford to get together because it would be unrealistic for a former t.o. and rookie to be in a relationship.... 😕

As much as I love Tim and Lucy working together and riding together, I think it would be sort of interesting to explore what would have happened post Jackson's death and the events at the almost wedding and at Tim's place if Lucy didn't become Tim's gofer. I think Lucy was too afraid to lose Tim bc he'd become too important to her, and he figured this was her drawing professional boundaries after they almost kissed in his living room, but what if that hadn't happened.

This isn't really a scene I'd rewrite, but more like add in, I will forever advocate for the necessary presence of Tim in 4x17. He should have been there. He would have been there.
