Shouldn The Job have frowned on Bobby and Dianes marriage? What about all the current squad romances?
While romantic relationships between cops who work in the same precinct are taboo, the show has always danced back and forth over that official line. Lesniak, for instance, was transferred into the One-Five after an intersquad romance went sour, but it was always implied that Fancy knew about Bobby and Diane’s relationship but chose not to do anything about it. The first time the show directly addressed the question of what Fancy did and didn’t know, ironically, was in the first episode after Bobby’s death, when Danny Sorenson asked Fancy why Bobby and Diane were allowed to work together; “The Job was never officially notified,” was Fancy’s simple response. When Andy started openly dating Connie at the same time John was openly dating Rita, the writers apparently decided that good bosses like Fancy and Rodriguez only enforce that particular rule when it starts stirring up trouble with the job. You could look at Lesniak’s transfer, for instance, as the result not of her relationship wit
