Officer Callahan and Officer Powell are together and have been for years. Like 1980s gay men’s version of married. They are “roommates”. They had a coworkers to lovers beautiful love story on the force. They are already together when we meet them. Callahan was incredibly proud of Powell when he got promoted to chief - he is canonically very defensive of him about it. In episode 6, they have a conversation in their car of “See that, Chief? Openly defying us!” “Stay calm”. Very married couple. Callahan calls him “chief” at every opportunity because he is so proud and also the way Powell says “stay calm” is very ‘we’ve done this before’ and their whole energy is very old married couple.
