"You’ve been a great fake brother to a real fake doctor, yes the best fake brother a guy could ask for," sang Nick, as he rocked a straw cowboy hat and aviator sunglasses.

With a smile on his face, Nick continued: "Maybe years down the road, we can change our roles, and play real lovers. So long my great fake favorite brother."

Jesse left the show during season 10

"To create this hour drama week after week has been a labor of love by everyone who touches the show. I will always be proud of my time as Det. Jay Halstead."

He shot his final scenes as Jay Halstead in episode three when the detective turned in his badge, telling his wife, Hailey Upton, that he was relocating to Bolivia with the Army for eight months.
