Domenic Toretti/Relationships

==Romantic Relationships==
Shelby Lane - Fiancée
:Shelby Lane and Toretti were not close or frequently talked to each other until he took part as a test subject during Shelby's K9 evaluations, where Toretti was injured after a K9 bit him through the bite suit. At some point, this relationship lead to them both agreeing to spend nights together, but not getting involved in any kind of relationship. After this, they started going out at night for "waffles", which meant sex. Initially Toretti thought no one would notice or find out, but after Gable revealed that he knew, everyone found out.
:Shelby and Toretti just spend the nights together, but it is unknown if Toretti wants more. Regardless, their casual relationship has led to Peach Chee nearly kill Shelby, after she got jealous and poured hot water on Shelby and the machines that kept her alive during her ICU stay.
:On May 15th, 2022, Kyle Pred found out from Chad Gable that Shelby and Toretti were sleeping together. Trying to confirm the information, Pred asked Shelby if the rumors were true, which she confirmed. This caused Pred to scream at Shelby and say he couldn't look at her the same way anymore.
:The revelation prompted Gunner, Pred and Peach to confront Toretti about his advances on Peach. Toretti mentioned that he had never flirted with Peach and never tried to move forward with her. Peach then gave him an ultimatum that was supposed to make Toretti choose Shelby or her. The ultimatum went nowhere, and eventually, everything calmed down. Afraid that she would lose her job in the PBSO, Shelby revealed that she was sleeping with Toretti to Sam Baas, and told him she was happy with Toretti, but that she didn't really have a relationship with him. Despite both saying that they didn't had a relationship or were a couple, they were really pretty much a couple without a label as they started being exclusive for almost a week and half before everyone find out, and Toretti had already moved in with her. Eventually they accepted that they had a relationship and started being more public about it.
Lily Pond - Ex-Girlfriend
:Toretti often referred to both Lily Pond and Ellis Pinzon as his favorite officers from the newer generation, for that reason Toretti pushed for Pond to become Senior and FTO. Initially Toretti only tried to support her and help her adjust to the new role, but after John Spartan annoyed Toretti when he tried to cut the line for the NoPixel Trading Cards at MRPD, Toretti wondered if Pond was happy with Spartan. This caused Toretti to start over complimenting Pond at any chance he got, and to ask people if Pond was still married to Spartan. This information eventually reached Pond, but she defended Toretti by saying that he didn't have a crush on her, and that he was just being supportive. When Spartan told Pond that Toretti was, in fact, trying to break up their marriage, Pond told him he would never do that and that she didn't even believe Toretti had a crush on her, but that if he was, she was totally fine with it and told Spartan to not worry about Toretti.
:For weeks, Toretti continued to compliment Pond every chance he had. Pond eventually realized that Toretti did had a crush on her, but still didn't cared about it, saying that it was just innocent. Spartan mad at Toretti, would often confront him, but after a meeting between the three of them, he told Spartan and Pond that he didn't had a crush. Both Spartan and Pond didn't believed it, but decided to move on.
:Pond would often try to stir the pot, by being nice towards Toretti and riding with him, but she often reassurred Spartan nothing was going on. When Toretti found out that they were renewing their vows, he was visibly shocked and upset. The wedding never came to fruition after Pond and Spartan separated. When Toretti found out he was surprised and happy, and began trying to get with Pond, but Pond didn't seemed receptive towards Toretti.
:After some weeks of flirting between the two of them, Toretti's luck seemed to change. On July 21st, Toretti had spent most of his day with the Hopper Sisters, during his day a Hopper threw him off a helicopter. Pond checking up on Toretti asked him if he was fine and started a conversation with him. During the conversation Toretti brough up, he still carried the pair of fluffy handcuffs that Pond had gifted him. Pond asked Toretti if he had a chance to use them already, to which Toretti answered he hadn't and was waiting to use them on someone special for him. Ending the conversation, Pond told Toretti if he needed someone special to let her know. Toretti, shocked that Pond had apparently expressed interest for him, screamed inside the locker room.
:The next day, during their ride-along, Toretti was close to finally say to Pond that he had feelings for her. When Bryce Miller started to hit on Pond, Toretti took him to the side and admitted it he was interested in Pond. Regardless, Bryce invited Pond for dinner, and also hid inside their police car, where he pretended to be the GPS. A couple of minutes later at the VU parking lot, Bryce acted as if the car had a self-destruct mode and it wouldn't turn off unless Toretti repeated what he had told him. Almost without notice, Toretti told Pond that he liked her, but it was so quick that there was no time for reaction. A couple of seconds later, he also asked Pond to not go with Bryce for dinner. When asked why he started to be shy and just said "for me". Shy and unsecure about himself, he went back on his word, which prompted to clarify that he meant he liked riding with her when Pond asked what he had said earlier at the VU parking lot. As Pond was leaving for the weekend for a vacation, Toretti promised her to see her before she left.
:Toretti wasn't able to visit Lily before she left, during her absence Toretti was promoted to Assistant Chief. When Pond returned to the city she met up with Toretti, where she congratulated him. During their conversation Toretti expressed he had been stressed the last days, which Pond told him she could help with that. When Pond was leaving for her apartment, Toretti asked her if she was leaving alone, to which Pond said she could be with someone. After his ceremony where he was sworn in as Assistant Chief, he spent the night with Pond.
:The following morning, Pond told Spartan about her and Toretti spending the night together. This led to Spartan confront Toretti and to have a fight with him at the parking lot. Pond, annoyed with Spartan, asked him if he was going to fight with everyone she had sex with. This led to an argument in the parking lot between Pond and Spartan, where it ended by Pond saying she was glad she had divorced him, after he suggested she was just doing it to get a higher position in the LSPD. Everyone was suprised by the event.
:Throughout the week, Toretti and Pond kept spending the night together, this led to Pond to offer Toretti to keep the key to her house and to bring clean clothes to her place. Pond has expressed to several people that she's just "having fun" with Toretti indicating that she sees nothing serious in the relationship, but Toretti's comments seems to indicate that he hopes for more from their relationship. This fact led to Toretti invite Pond on a double date with Dean Watson and Olivia Copper.
:Although Pond kept saying that it was nothing serious, Toretti and Pond kept showing feelings for each other. On August 3rd, 2021, Bryce Miller, hiding on Toretti's car, acted as a GPS and made Toretti to finally confess to Pond that he wanted to "be the only one in her DMs". Bryce also helped Pond, by asking her to dinner which made her realize that she couldn't do that since she was seeing someone and instead planned a date with Toretti. Although they never labeled themselves as dating they continued to be together and be defensive towards each other. When Pond was trying to arrest Sai Carter, he started to insult Toretti to which Pond didn't take lightly and warned him to stop. On August 8th, 2021 the double date with Copper and Dean took place at the Clean Manor where Tony Corleone prepared them some steak. Originally Tony and Tori Bologna where supposed to join them on a Triple Date, but this changed when Kyle Pred and Brittany Angel showed up uninvated to the Manor. During the date, Pond and Toretti struggled when they were called a couple, since they never had labeled themselves as dating. As Pond was on a wheelchair, Toretti had to carry her around during the tour around the manor.
:The date eventually moved from the Clean Manor to a private jet. The flight was supposed to showcase Los Santos, but after Dean and Yeager jumped from the airplane they had to make an emergency landing on Great Ocean Highway. During this moment Toretti finally told Pond that they needed to have a talk. After several interrumptions, Toretti finally was able to ask her if she would want to continously keep dating. Pond agreed and told him that she was fine by making the relationship official, finally labeling themselves as dating. When members of PD found out that they were dating they were suprised, among them Claire Everly who started saying that she had predicted the relationship. This lead to Toretti start to look for a nickname for Pond now that she was his girlfriend, asking everyone he could. Pond has told Toretti that he will figure a nickname some day and that she believes in him.
:Toretti and Pond continued their relationship, evolving over time from something new to caring for each other. Although Pond knows Toretti isn't the best to talk about serious situations, she also knows that she can trust him. Like when Marcus Jackson died, Pond told Toretti she was going to hang out with Spartan since he meant a lot to both of them, and although Toretti was visibly shocked, he understood her. There's trust between them, but Toretti is also insecure about himself.
:Toretti and Pond also continued to get invitations for double dates from couples like Andi Jones & Denzel Williams to Dante Wolf & Nancy Drew. Their relationship also matured with time, with Toretti finally had enough confidence and started calling her honey and babe, moving on from the awkward pet name phase. Time later, Pond bought an office near MRPD that she planned to convert into an apartment, and gave a key to Toretti inviting him to move in and live with her, which Toretti did.
:Toretti initially said to Andi Jones that he didn't know if he loved her, and that a relationship would help him know that. When Pond was shot and dumped at Grandmas by Irwin Dundee, Pond was in critical condition and Toretti was one of the first officers to arrive alongside Lydia Vale. When the doctor told Toretti that Pond was in a temporary coma, Toretti was shocked, while visiting her in the ICU room Toretti finally told Pond that he loved her, thinking she couldn't hear him. Toretti also spent the night at the hospital accompanying Pond.
:Unknown to Toretti, Pond actually heard him say that he loved her, but she wasn't sure if it had been real. This made her nervous to ask him if it was true. On September 24th, Pond asked Toretti if he had said anything important during her stay at the hospital. Toretti, scared to say anything, didn't tell her he had said the words "I Love You". When Pond realized Toretti wasn't saying anything, she was visibly sad and disappointed, and just said her good nights and left the room. While Pond was leaving the room, Toretti once again told her he loved her, but she wasn't able to hear him.
:The next day they continued to be around each other, avoiding the topic from the last night. They patrolled together and attended the Pet Event at the Casino. When they arrived together at the Casino, they found Balto Connelly who started asking Pond if she had gotten an answer (as he knew Pond wanted to ask Toretti if he had said "I love you"), but she hurried the topic. Once Toretti needed to leave, he said his goodbye, they hugged and Pond attempted to say "I love you" as well, but she couldn't, being as akward as Toretti. Everything was fine during that day until Dundee kidnapped Pond again.
:After torturing her in the Grapeseed torture room, Pond was found without tongue, without a couple of fingers, with an eye stabbed, and a knife in the knee by Jeffrey Bundy and Michael Rodgers. Taken to the hospital as soon as possible, the doctor stabilised her, but she still lost her eye, but her tongue got reattached. Pond was taken to an ICU room and Toretti was informed of her status.
:When Bundy visited Pond in her room, she woke up for a couple of minutes. She pointed her finger to Bundy's notepad and with difficulty and using all her strength wrote "Want Toretti". When Bundy asked who wanted Toretti, she wrote "Me". Leaving Bundy thinking that she just wanted him to visit, but others thinking that it actually meant that she wants to be with Toretti.
:The next day, Toretti claimed she spent the night in her hospital room as soon as Bundy emailed him. Toretti again arrived to Pillbox after Pond had to shoot down Mike Smoore and took her to their apartment. In there, they had a conversation (Pond writing and Toretti talking) that went from the torture to their future. The conversation led them to the outside of the apartment, since Pond was still going to stay awake and needed the keys to Theodore Tinker's mini-van that they were using as transpor. Before going inside their apartment Toretti told Pond "I love you", thinking that she might not hear it since he was from a far distance, but Pond actually heard him and ran inside the apartment and found Toretti asleep. Pond immediately texted Balto about it and told him he heard him this time say it.
:Balto and Pond had a small conversation at the Observatory where Pond told him that this time she had heard Toretti said that he loves her and also told Balto that she loves him as well. She expressed she wanted to say it back, but also wanted to say it instead of writing it on a whiteboard, as she was communicating at that moment.
:After another visit to the ICU and several revelations, on October 3rd, Pond had recently discovered that Baas had ocean dumped Dundee, with the help of Tony Andrews. Trying to find out if it was true, she asked Baas for the truth, but he denied the claims. Seeing that he might be lying, she texted Toretti with the message that she was thinking of quitting the police department. Toretti picked up Pond and drove around the city, while Pond explained Baas had apparently attacked Dundee and that's was the reason as to why she had been tortured. Toretti, not believing in Dundee's word, tried to say that Dundee was most likely lying, but while explaining his rage against Dundee and mixing some events, he made himself look like he knew about it and had helped covered it up. Pond, who for days had wanted to tell Toretti that she loved him, no longer wanted until she could figure out if he was an accomplice or not. She also thought that if Toretti was an accomplice, she would hand out her badge and end her relationship with him. Regardless, later that night Pond applied the same technique that Toretti did, since she told him "Love you" and ran into the apartment when he dropped her off at their apartment.
:Pond and Toretti's relationship began to have problems as soon as their relationship had stabilized and had the trust to say "I love you" to each other. Toretti's position in High Command usually kept him busy all day, neglecting Pond and her desire of spending time with him. Pond understood that Toretti's position demanded a lot of time, and understood that it meant that he would not always be around her, but still wished for a day for themselves at least once a month. Regardless of Pond's issues with Toretti, they proceeded as if nothing was happening. They continued to share a house and make plans together.
:As time passed, people still said to Pond that she could do better, and she believed it as people around her easily influenced her. She was also still scared of Toretti saying that she wanted to marry her. Pond, trying to spend time with Toretti, would often hide in his car or invite him to hang out off-duty, but Toretti never had the chance to do so. This lead to Sexton Hardcastle, Pond's partner in the Street Crimes Unit, to hang out with her more, which made Toretti jealous. As Pond started to hang out with Hardcastle, people often tell Toretti that Pond was cheating on him and that he would feel what Spartan had felt when he intervened in their relationship.
:Hardcastle and Pond continue to grow closer, being good friends and the only other person besides Toretti, that Pond fully trusted within PD. At that same time, rumors of a relationship between Pond and Hardcastle circulated. While at the beginning Toretti didn't believe in them, once multiple officers and civilians said it, Toretti started to believe the rumors, but Pond reassure him that nothing was happening.
:Pond continue to feel depressed and disappointed in Toretti, not spending time with her, but still loved him and wanted to make their relationship work. Around mid-November, Pond got drunk and texted Toretti that they were done, and she also told Hardcastle that she was mad at him, as he had been sleeping with Manuela Santos. Pond explained the situation with Toretti, saying that she was jealous of her friends having the relationship that she wished had with Toretti.
:Once Toretti started his run for Sheriff, his attitude changed. Toretti didn't allow people to disrespect him or mouth to him, and began to stand up for himself. This new attitude change was a welcome one to Pond, as she believed it was kind of hot. Toretti also began planning a date with Pond, but Pond believed nothing would happen as she knew Toretti would probably forget or keep postponing it.
:When Toretti was promoted to Sheriff of Sandy Shores, he immediately got into a fistfight with Kyle Pred and got into the ICU. While there, Pond told an unconscious Toretti that she would look for a place in Sandy. She also received the blessing from the Lost MC, as a gesture of good will, to move alongside Toretti to Sandy Shore. This given that the Lost MC wanted people living in Sandy Shore and Pond being Reed's old lady.
:While Toretti was in the ICU, the relationship began to crumble even faster. Since Toretti had insinuated that he wanted to marry Pond, multiple people had asked Pond what would she do if Toretti proposed to her. She would answer that either she would say no or be engaged forever, as she didn't believe in marriage anymore. Also, Pond had multiple grievances with Toretti because of his lack of attention to her.
:That weekend, Elizabeth Byrne kidnapped Pond from Windsong's festival and kept her captive at Grandma's. Pond's wishes were for Lizzy to focus on her and not on Hardcastle or Toretti, as they were the only people she cared for. When PD learned about Pond's disappearance, Jeffrey Bundy received a phone call where Pond revealed she had been kidnapped and also texted him to let Toretti know she loved him. The next day, Pond was rescued after a manhunt and Lizzy and her accomplices were sent to jail. Pond, scared that Lizzy would send someone for her, asked Hardcastle to stay at his place, as Toretti was still in the ICU. For two days, Pond stayed at Hardcastle's place. On the second night, Pond accidentally joined Hardcastle in his bed and hugged him, as she was having nightmares and she was used to having Toretti at her side in bed.
:On December 6, Toretti finally woke up from the ICU. As it was his first day as the Sheriff of Sandy Shores, he had been busy almost the entire day with meeting and talking with officers wanting to join his department. While talking with Silas Grimmer, Pond tried to talk with Toretti, but as Toretti didn't know what had happened to Pond, asked her to wait. Once Toretti found out that Pond had been kidnapped and tortured, he tried to call her, but it was too late. Pond began thinking that Toretti considered his job more important than her. Once they had a talk about both Pond's weekend and Toretti's day, Toretti found out that Pond had been staying at Hardcastle's house, annoyed, but accepting that she wasn't cheating on him, told Pond that it was okay. Everything appeared to be okay, but not in the greatest terms. While talking, Pond and Toretti set up a date for December 10, once the date was set, Toretti asked for a private moment with Serge Cross, Jenny Hall and Lance Malton, Toretti revealed them he was considering asking Pond to marry him during the date. On the other hand, Pond didn't get excited for the date because she knew Toretti would most likely forget about it.
:As the day passed, Toretti and Owen had a minor altercation that ended with Toretti running to the LSIA and saying an apology to Owen, in front of the entire PD, that squashed any grievances they had. Pond was mad when she saw that, as she considered Toretti had done nothing close to that romantic moment between Bros with her. While driving with Hardcastle, Pond said that she didn't have any hopes for the date as it would most likely not happen, also told Hardcastle that they had never had a date alone, and that she was worried that Toretti's new position would leave no time for her. Hardcastle continue to press the scenario of what would happen if Toretti proposes and Pond reaffirmed she would say No, and that the rejection would most likely mean the end of their relationship as she couldn't see Toretti, who had called her the love of his life, continue to be with her after that. She also told Hardcastle that maybe she would spend once again the night at his place, as she was upset with Toretti. Despite this, Pond went home to find that Toretti had cooked dinner and lit the apartment with candles. They both ate dinner and then made up the time they lost when Toretti was in the ICU.
:After Toretti got sent to the ICU again, Pond wasn't informed at all about it and when she got home she didn't find Toretti, which made her go out and hang out with Hardcastle and Ruger Daniels. Once they were all drunk, they went together to Hardcastle's place. In there, each of them ended up passing out, and Pond passed out next to Hardcastle in his bed and almost made out with him. The next morning Pond found out that Toretti was in the ICU and felt guilt for almost cheating on him with Hardcastle. For that reason, she sought Jenny's advice on the topic. Jenny recommended her to end the relationship with Toretti if she's no longer interested in him or if they both are looking for different things. Pond confesses that she almost kissed Hardcastle, and that she had thought of breaking up with Toretti a few weeks before. Pond says that if she breaks up with Toretti, she's just going to have fun without committing to a serious relationship. She also knows that Toretti wants to propose, and she feels it would just be a bandaid in the problem, as she sees it as something Toretti wants to do to anchor her to him and to show that he wants to spend time with her. She tells Jenny that she will talk with Toretti first, before doing anything with Hardcastle. Once their conversation was finished, Pond left with two choices, either break up with Toretti or try to fix the relationship and move it to another direction that both would want.
:Pond also confessed to Hardcastle what had happened last night, as he didn't remember it. She also told him she would talk with Toretti first and wouldn't mention what had happened with him. Hardcastle also invited her to keep crashing at his place if she didn't feel safe at home, to which Pond said she would if Toretti didn't wake up from ICU.
:On December 9, everything ended. When Pond informed Toretti that she had spent the night at Hardcastle's because she didn't know he had been released from the hospital, Toretti walked away from her. When Emma Dupont learnt all this, she took Pond to Sandy Shores Office to finally talk with Toretti. In a mediation that included Jenny Hall, Reed Dankleaf, Rocko Columbo, Emma Dupont, Tracy Martell, William Gunner, and Serge Cross, Toretti and Pond started airing their grievances. Explaining to each other what they wanted and the issues they had. Toretti tried to fix the relationship, but he didn't seem committed to do it and instead he was saying he would try to be better. When Pond expressed she didn't know if his new position as Sheriff would leave time for her, Toretti told her he would leave the position for her. Pond, already knowing that Toretti would not change or things would eventually return to the same position as she was at that moment, decided that it was better to break up at that moment, instead of hurting themselves more in the future. When Toretti heard that, he just walked away and left, saddened he cleaned out his stuff from the apartment and left the engagement ring he had to Pond.
:Some time after Pond broke up with Hardcastle, Pond and Toretti started seeing each other again, but this time they both agreed that it would just be about sex and no relationship would ensue. Originally, Toretti wanted to hide the fact they were seeing each other again, but eventually everyone found out.

Together they oversee the Los Santos Police Dispatch and Civilian wing of the PD, as well as cadets and FTOs in the department. Toretti rarely questions Angel's decisions which make him easy to work with. Although people like Kyle Pred think Angel needs someone better than Toretti in the division or that she could run it by herself, she has stated that she's lucky to have Toretti with her and that he's very important within the division.

Although Toretti wants Byson back in the LSPD, he follows Bob's orders of gatekeeping Byson. When Toretti found out that Bob was stepping down from his position as Chief of Police, Byson was one of the first people Toretti approached to hear his opinion of him being the future Chief of Police, confused Byson answered he would be a good Chief, and asked Toretti if there was something wrong with Bob to which Toretti replied everything was fine.

Bob Smith - Mentor
:Toretti has known Bob Smith since his cadet phase, (2.0) and considers him a mentor. When Bob returned to the city, they initially were arguing with each other, but after Olivia Copper made them stop and apologize to each other, they complimented their respective work. When Bob decided it was time to step down as Chief of Police he informed Toretti that he was his choice to be the successor as Chief, pushing him to make a bid for the position once he was gone.
:After learning that Bobby was leaving the position, he became depressed and cried every time someone mentioned Bobby. Toretti often referred Bobby's belongings as "memorials" making people think that Bob had passed away. When people confronted him for Bob's whereabouts he told people he was totally fine and nothing was happening in the department, trying to hide the fact that he was stepping down. After the launch of the NoPixel Trading Cards Toretti began carrying a card of Bobby with him at all times, often displaying it around saying "He's my Chief, Praise Bob".
:On May 30th, 2021, Bobby announced his departure from the Chief of Police in a public news conference. After the ceremony, Bob told Toretti to prepare for the Chief of Police election and reminded him he was his choice for the next Chief of Police. Toretti visibly depressed and saddened by the event, was also told to not disappoint him, which increased Toretti's fear and pressure. The next day, Toretti submitted an interest form for the position of Chief of Police, starting his campaign for it. On July 25th, 2021 Toretti was announced as the next Assistant Chief of Police. After losing the Chief of Police position to Senior Deputy Sam Baas, Malton continued to remind Toretti that he had failed Bob and that he would probably be disappointed in him.
:When Bob returned to the PD, he was shocked to hear that Sam Baas had won the Chief of Police position. When he confronted Toretti, he expressed his dissappointment on him and called him out for ruining his chance to be Chief of Police. When Bob found out that Toretti had a girlfriend, he was shocked and told Toretti how it was possible that someone had interest on him.
:The day Bob left town for Tijuana was a very emotional day for Toretti. He couldn't believe what was happening, and he often cried in front of and behind Bob's back. Despite his feelings towards Bob, he thanked Bob for everything he did for him and said goodbye to him. Later, Bob would leave a voicemail for Toretti telling him that he sometimes felt that he was too mean to him, but that he was proud of everything he had accomplished.
Cleo Shaw
:Since her beginning in the PD, Cleo Shaw has been compared to Toretti, especially since both of them went thru a phase of constantly getting kidnapped during their cadet phase. Because of this, Toretti always understood Cleo and tried to help her when she had any concerns about PD. Their relationship got stronger once Lily Pond broke up with Toretti, who started to flirt with Cleo, who at the time was in a relationship with Bryce Miller. Unknown to Toretti was the amount of issues and problems Cleo was involved. This led to Cleo to doubt herself as a cop. As she saw a lack of camaraderie between deputies, trying to help with her insecurities, Toretti allowed her to transfer to the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office.
:The two of them grew closer, with Cleo saying Toretti was one of the few people in the city to actually listen to her and that she could trust him. People within the Police Department, started to notice their closeness, which lead to several officers warn Toretti to stay away from her. When Nicholas Simone and Michael Simone started to hunt Cleo and her close ones, she snapped and stabbed Nick. Cleo would eventually confess to Jeffrey Bundy and Jenny Hall about stabbing Nick and was fired from the PD against Toretti's order. When Toretti found out that Cleo had been fired despite his wish to speak with her first, he was upset. Reuniting with Cleo, he asked her if she really wanted to quit, which she didn't know. During their conversation Toretti told her he would support whatever decision she takes and that he only was concerned for her safety and happiness. Cleo told Toretti that she was glad to have him as a friend and that maybe in another universe they could've been together.
:Their friendship was eventually forgotten and after Toretti tried to re-educate Cleo, she decided to get revenge and stabbed Toretti. Now Cleo claims Toretti tortured her and got Matt Rhodes and Tessa Lamb to investigate her allegations, which Toretti didn't took lightly.

:Toretti has a soft spot for Dante Wolf. When Dante started to be around the city more Toretti was excited to see him around. They don't patrol together often, but they always catch up when they have a chance. Toretti helped Dante buy his own CVPI and supported him after he was found guilty of Felony Obstruction of Justice, accomplice to Assault and Battery, and accomplice to Kidnapping for the Meowfurryon situation. During the process, Dante realized he wanted to change departments and told Toretti about it. Toretti, happy to hear it, told Dante to get an expungement as soon as he could and then he could transfer to LSPD. When Dante got his expungement and told Pred he wanted to switch, he was initially denied since Pred considered "wanting a change" wasn't a real motive to switch departments. Toretti called Divine so he could deal with Pred. Divine convinced Pred to let Dante switch and he payed Dante's debt to the BCSO.
Denzel Williams
:Denzel Williams met Toretti after he crashed his car near Power street. There they had a talk where they bonded on their rivalry with Lauren Forcer. Unknown to Toretti, Denzel's "rivalry" with Forcer was more than that, with him actually attempted to murder her some years before. During Denzel's campaign for mayor, Toretti was one of his supporters. When asked if he could convince LSPD officers to vote for him, he told Denzel that he could do that, but he never did. Instead of convincing them, he publicly supported him during PD meeting where Kyle Pred often invited Abdul AlRahim to campaign. During a situation with T.J. Mack, Denzel called Toretti, asking him to stop Mack from harassing him. When Toretti arrived, he made himself clear that if he was in the situation, he wouldn't charge him with anything serious or not able to be proved, but left Mack to make his own decision.
:This situation made people believe that Toretti was in Denzel's pocket. Many thought that the LSPD closeness to Denzel was a sign that a department was corrupt. Denzel eventually won the mayorship, and he constantly contacted Toretti to hear opinions about PD related situations. When Denzel decreased the PD salary, Toretti got blamed for it and was forced to do EMS duty, after PD learned EMS had a pay increase.
:Mayor Denzel was the one that conducted the swearing-in ceremony for both Sam Baas and Toretti. During the ceremony Denzel swore in Baas as the Chief of Police and Toretti as the Assistant Chief. Although Toretti doesn't know, Denzel assisted in the murder of the Deputy Mayor Basem Shahin, when Kyle Pred learned that both Denzel and Andi Jones may had something to do with his death he ordered to not involve the LSPD given their relationship with both of them.
John Copperton - Adopted Son
:Toretti's biggest supporter, John Copperton, is a cadet within the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office that admires Toretti. He often defends Toretti against everyone, including criminals, civilians and officers alike. John hates racers, so he often escalates and gets aggressive against civilians and criminals in race cars, which leads to Toretti to often de-escalate the traffic stops they found themselves in. Some members of the PD refer to John as Toretti's son.
:John Cop would do anything for Toretti. He even tried to kill Cleo Shaw after she stabbed Toretti.
John Spartan
:Toretti and John Spartan initially were on good terms, but after Spartan tried to cut the line for the NoPixel Trading Cards at MRPD and was disrespectful towards Toretti, he began a grudge against him. Toretti started to ask people if Spartan was still married to Lily Pond, implying that he was interested in her. When Spartan learned from Amber Gold that Toretti was trying to destroy their marriage, he tried to confront him, but Toretti ignored him and continued with his day. Toretti's actions and comments led to Spartan made comments about Toretti being found buried in the ground, implying that he could kill him for trying to break their marriage.
:The two of them would eventually have a confrontation with Pond present, during the conversation Toretti tried to gaslight Spartan, saying that everything was fine and that he wasn't interested in Pond. The rivalry became physical when Toretti tried to visit Pond in the ICU, Spartan annoyed that Toretti was in the room asked him to leave, Toretti acting as the LSPD command member tried to obtain information of her status, but Spartan still wanted him out of the room. Toretti ignored him to which Spartan threw him out of the room and called Matt Rhodes so he could reprimand Toretti for being there. Unbeknownst to both Toretti and Spartan, Lily Pond's emergency contacts included Toretti to which he returned to the hospital and visited her. After making sure she was okay, Spartan and Toretti had a conversation where Toretti once again gaslighted him and told him he hoped she was okay. He also recommended some days off so he could spend them with her. Spartan still mad for the prior situation told him to never pull rank on him when it came to personal business, but Toretti didn't hear it since a shootout had broken out outside the hospital.
:Some weeks after, Spartan and Pond broke up, but this didn't ended their animosity towards each other, with Spartan thinking that Toretti is not a competent officer. On July 21st, Spartan saved Toretti's life after he had being kidnapped and was about to be experimented on. During a shootout with the kidnappers, Spartan got shot, which caused Toretti to run towards him and start to hold pressure on his neck wound. He continued to hold him until EMS arrived. At the hospital, Toretti was relieved to see Spartan again on his feet after almost seeing him die.
:When Spartan found out from Pond that she was sleeping with Toretti, he was shocked and annoyed with both of them. With Pond because she had told him during their marriage that nothing would ever happen with Toretti, and with Toretti because he had split up their marriage. After confronting Toretti, Spartan then beated down Toretti with Kyle Pred's permission. When Pond found out, she became upset with Spartan and had an argument outside of MRPD with him, where she told him she was glad she had divorced him after he had suggested that she was only doing it for a promotion.
:Spartan also started questioning Sam Baas, asking him why he had chosen Toretti as his Assistant Chief. Baas told him that Toretti excelled at other areas in which he lacked skill. Spartan still told Baas to be careful with him and to not trust him or the Tripod. Although Spartan tried really hard to create a rift between the Chief and the Ass. Chief, Baas didn't seem to be concerned about it.
:Toretti is often blamed when his personal life becomes public, but this time Spartan has been the one telling everyone what's happening between Pond and him.
Pilbis Toretti - Adopted Son
:Originally, Pilbis Shonley was just Toretti's friend, he used to call him asking for a ride-along and also chasing after him so he could hang out with him. Toretti, for his part, is fond of NBC, the gang to which Pilbis belongs. The friendship with Pilbis grew over time, although Toretti frequently says that Pilbis is very needy and that he does not want to be near him. His friendship even led Pilbis to ask Toretti to be his best man at his wedding with Mercury Frost. After a while, Pilbis began to say that Toretti was his father, which Toretti initially denied, but eventually Toretti accepted and adopted Pilbis. He frequently refers to him as his son, and that he can't be involved in serious situations with him since he could be considered bias.
:Pilbis is somewhat protective, especially when Toretti is attacked by other people. When he found out that a woman had stabbed Toretti, he threw a Molotov cocktail at her, killing her. Although Toretti did not ask Pilbis to kill or harm her, he did gave Pilbis the address of where the woman was. During the hearing, Toretti defended Pilbis saying that he was a good son who had only acted in defense of his father.
==Deceased==
Cody Sharp
:Cody was one of Toretti's most loyal officers. Cody Sharp would often try to protect Toretti from any attacks, be it from criminals or fellow officers. During Toretti's campaign for Chief of Police, Sharp was his Secret Service bodyguard and would often stop anyone from interacting with him, being overprotective. When the Senora Desert Sheriff's Office was created, Cody was one of the first to join the department and continued to support him even to the distaste of his adoptive father, Matt Rhodes.
Tracy Martell
:Tracy Martell regardless of her rank often gives Toretti HR points. They don't patrol together often, but when they do, they have a good dynamic between themselves, which some considered a crazy and chaotic dynamic. When Martell felt overlooked and unappreciated by BCSO High Command, Toretti told her to switch departments. When Kyle Pred took the HR department from her, she decided to switch to LSPD.
:During a conversation between Bob Smith and Toretti, Bob told him he was going to step down as Chief of Police and that Toretti was his pick to be the next one. Hoping that Toretti would win the election, Bob told him he should start to look out for a replacement for his position in the Personnel and Training Division. When Toretti went to Chumash Pier to reflect on the information given by Bob, Martell appeared and told him if something was wrong. Toretti followed Bob's advice and talked to Martell to see if she was interested in hiring and training.
