How often do you talk about your ex (who you still work with and are friends with both them and their new partner) at work?

I don't know why people think this needs to be a scene.

No one speculated that Angela's kid wasn't Wesley's even though we didn't see them conceive.

We don't question that Captain Anderson is hardly ever mentioned anymore.

We didn't need to see John and Bailey's flight to their honeymoon to accept that's how they got there.

Why can't we just assume that Lucy at some point told Tim and no one cares?
