The smooch came after the pair were sent undercover as a couple - and taking to Twitter to discuss, one person wrote: "The face of a man who just realized that he can no longer hide his feelings for Lucy," while another joked: "OMG SLOWED IT DOWN SO WE CAN OVER ANALYZE EVERY FRAME."

A third fan added: "'I found you so hot that we hooked up while they were still searching the building.' Tim’s entire brain just short circuited thinking about kissing and having sex with Lucy." Another fan posted: "No but we don’t talk enough about Tim’s first little kiss though?? The cuteness?? His little look afterwards??? Like was it good?? He looked proud of it!!! He’s such a softie inside."

Nathan Fillion, who stars in the series, also couldn’t resist weighing in one the relationship after sharing a series of snaps from set ahead of the finale, writing: "As I’m sure you know, tonight is the season four finale of @therookieabc. 

"What you may not know, is how lucky we are to have so many incredible guests bringing back their brilliant characters. You know them, you love them, you miss them. They’re back. And will Tim and Lucy finally do something about all this tension?? Jeez, right?? Don’t miss it. You won’t get another fix for a while."
