==Relationships==
Relationships of TJ Walker.
===BBMC===
Barry Benson - Father and Prime Minister
When TJ was a cop he met Barry during a 28-minute long police chase. This established mutual respect for each other and TJ and Barry developed a friendly rivalry. This led to Barry calling TJ about crimes he committed, only giving information that couldn't be used to incriminate himself; TJ worked to try and get Barry to slip up and confess but these attempts were met with no progress.
A few days after this exchange started, TJ reached out to Barry via phone call, having forgotten who he was (and the rivalry they had). Barry claimed he was TJ's father, saying he had slept with TJ's mom. While TJ was initially surprised to hear this, they both took to calling each other father and sonBarry tells TJ that he's his father. As the two became more familiar with each other due to this realisation of their father-son relationship, TJ learned that Barry was married to Dundee, making him TJ's step-father.
The two learned to grow together: Barry had difficulties trusting TJ in the beginning, due to his profession. Barry didn't want to risk the club while TJ just wanted the truth when something personal happens. They talked and resolved their problems, strengthening their bondBarry Promises To Stop Lying To His Son.
The relationship between Barry and TJ did change after BBMC shot TJ at point-blank. The established trust and friendliness disappeared, TJ was cold to Barry and had given him just one chance to make it rightTJ gives Barry one last chance. Besides that, TJ tried to remove the matching goldfish tattoo on the neck that both of them share and had it covered up. TJ wanted Barry to step up and fulfill the leader role in the club, while Barry struggled to balance punishment, being a part of the club and demanding respectTJ wanting Barry to be a leader. Even though TJ struggled heavily and treated his father differently, Barry never showed him the cold shoulder and supported him continuously.
Through time and conversations with BBMC, TJ slowly processed what happened. The separation had left him missing the interactions with them and TJ told his father that he wants the family backTJ wants the family back, this motivated Barry to help TJ to become part of BBMC. 
Barry is proud of his son becoming part of the "dark side" and the father son duo is closer than ever before. Both of them are working together, planning torture sessions for people they dislikeTJ and Barry talking about torturing someone, supporting each other when one of them wants to kill another personBarry being a supportive Dad and the business they created together is boomingBusiness is booming.
Channing Turner - Former Step-Brother and Patched Member
Chain got adopted by Dundee, making him back then TJ's stepbrotherChain tells TJ that he got adopted. Both have had a mutual respect for each other, talking and even exchanging giftsChain gives TJ a gift.
Chain was part of the members that were there when TJ got shot down, effectively breaking the mutual trust. In a talk after, it became clear that Chain has shut off his feelings, trying not to feel regret while TJ is worried about him.
Chain was showing TJ the ropes of being a criminal. Chain had commented that it's weird having a cop in the club, especially after what had happened, but the relationship was on its way to being more friendlier again. Nowadays, both of them joke around with each other in a brotherly manner but the topic of TJ's execution hasn't been touched until now.
Dundee and Barry separated on the 18th of August 2022, making TJ not Dundee's son anymore and Chain not TJ's step brother. Chain used this as opportunity to put some distance between him and TJ, because being too close with people has burned him before.
Jesse Reed - Husband and High Command
Even before TJ became a part of the club, Jesse supported TJJesse tells Barry "He's your blood, therefore he's our blood".

They immediately had an affectionate chemistry, joked around/teased each otherTJ and Jesse and have had always each others backs.

The two are a solid team, relying on each other and staying calm, even during battleTJ & Jesse Against Cops. TJ and Jesse told that they love each other on the 10th of MarchJesse tells TJ that he loves him TJ tells Jesse that he loves him.

Jesse has adopted Six as dog, since then TJ and Jesse are proud dog parentsTJ & Jesse discuss where Six sleeps. 
In general, Jesse's and TJ's relationship is a very healthy one. They talk with each other about problems, they are truthful to each other and they work together through club problems. Both are enjoying each other's company and see each other as anchor in the club, especially since the club is mostly action before thought while the two are more calm and collectedJesse: "A breath of fresh air".
After 6 months of relationship, TJ and Jesse were getting asked more and more if they are married. TJ responded that they don't need papers to say it and that they don't deny itTJ answers the question if he's married to Jesse.

TJ had always had a very good relationship with him, joking around and protecting each other. For example TJ manifested a new BBMC rule to never let Jordan drive, since Jordan's driving style had been stressing him out. Additionally, TJ's first murder was a woman that had stabbed JordanTJ's First Perma.

Their relationship was friendly, with some differences: for example when TJ was too hot headed about Francis or the time Baas ocean-dumped DundeeTJ Walker Gets Sam Baas To Admit To Ocean Dumping Dundee. He did notice that TJ was not in a good place after he got kidnapped and shot by BBMC and was worried for his adoptive grandson but still didn't find the time in 28 days to talk to him, which motivated Walker even more to leave the PD. Baas isn’t happy that TJ left and is currently angry about him shooting a cop.
They met up and talked but Baas tried to "Baaslight" TJ about the incident: He didn't let TJ talk or explain and told him how to feel about everything. In TJ's mind Baas justified with this behavior the resignation of TJ from PD because Baas didn't listen and wasn't ready to see any other side besides his own.
Whenever they meet nowadays the interactions are more hostile, with TJ insulting Baas and even pointing a gun at himBaas is Chang Gang and TJ wants to shoot him.
TJ still holds Baas in high regard because of their long friendship, even if they didn't see eye to eye in the end.
Irwin Dundee - Former Step-Father and Former Prime Minister of the BBMC
Dundee had been unhappy with TJ as step-son and had never accepted himDundee discovers that TJ is his son. The main issue between them had been always TJ's profession since Dundee never even thought about getting close to a cop, even if the cop would be his step-son. They did have their differences: In the past Dundee beat up TJ and C4d him once. They tried to make an effortDundee Makes Amends with Son TJ but the whole relationship broke as after a shootout BBMC decided to let out their anger on cops and went on a hunt for them. They found TJ, kidnapped him and Dundee gave the order to shoot him. This broke all the established trust TJ and BBMC had.
After the incident TJ and Dundee ran into each other: Dundee told TJ that he will never care about him and that TJ is a disappointment to himDundee Accidentally Runs Into TJ.
After TJ proved his loyalty through shooting a cop, Dundee recognized him as son. Dundee was teaching him how to be a criminal, how to be a part of the club and is acknowledging TJ as full member of the club. He even used TJ's PD knowledge to teach the club useful information.
Dundee seems to enjoy having TJ around, is including him in criminal activities and is relying on him while doing them. After being a part of the club for almost two months, their relationship has been the best it has ever been. Dundee told TJ he loves him on the 20th of March 2022Dundee tells TJ he loves him.
Due to TJ's difficulty with authority, feeling without any direction and being the Financial Chief of BBM, both of them had conversations and arguments, but in the end their relationship improved and they saw the other's side better. Dundee even ended up apologizing to TJ for shooting him in JanuaryDundee apologizes.
Dundee and Barry separated on the 18th of August 2022, making TJ not Dundee's son anymore and Chain not TJ's step brother. Dundee currently still calls him son and treats him like nothing happened. 
Dundee being dead and stuck in Purgatory is concerning TJ. He went above and beyond and made a deal with Norman Bones to get Dundee back. When TJ became a Patched Member of the BBMC, he drove to the place he saw Dundee last to show him his new JacketTJ shows Dundee his Patch. In the past, Dundee was one of the first ones in the club who were for patching TJ.
On the night of the return of Dundee on December 16th, 2022 - TJ ended up having an altercation and shooting then BBMC High Command member, Junior Meats, which was a result of Dundee, alongside gang leaders Benji Ramos and Marty Banks, showing up to the Billabong to meet with Junior. Said incident was a key factor in TJ's decision to fly out of the city for a period of time. 
Since TJ's return to the city in late January of 2023, he has not had much, if any, interactions with Dundee. TJ has stated that he stands in full support of his father and the club in their choice to remove Dundee from the club. In March 2023, in a conversation between himself and his stepfather Marlo, TJ indicated that Dundee was his former stepfather and he now wanted nothing to do with him, implying he no longer saw him as family anymore
Olivia Copper - Ex-FTO and Mentor
Copper and TJ go a long way back. Copper brought TJ on his first ride-along back in the day. They were great partners on shifts. 
When she found out that TJ left PD she called him and they had a long conversation: She thought he could've made it far in PD and felt him becoming a criminal is a wasteCopper thinks TJ leaving PD is a waste. On the other side, she saw that his leadership in PD has failed him and thought TJ was thinking similarly to her past self. She wanted to ruin his life for leaving the PD because she sees it as betrayal.
Since then they're calling each other here and there, trying to get information from each other without revealing any, like a cat and mouse game.
Jeffrey Bundy - Ex-Colleague and Superior
Bundy saw TJ as a good friend on the force and genuinely cared for him. With the act of shooting an officer TJ broke the relationship and destroyed any outward semblance of care Bundy had for himBundy's opinion.
Directly after TJ's first arrest, Bundy was cold to TJ. TJ was mirroring this and countered everything with sarcasm. It took some time, but after a while their relationship changed back into a friendlier one: When they ran into each other the mood was lighter, not as spiteful and resentful as it had been.
Bundy had commented that he saw TJ still as family, even though he put his badge on the desk and walked awayIf I learnt one lesson from TJ. They were calling each other and were talking about their lives, TJ was one of the few people Bundy had a relationship with outside of the PD. They gave each other advice and were there for each otherTJ gives advice to Bundy.
Although this was just for a short while: After some time Bundy started to distance himself from TJ, not answer his calls and giving excuses. Bundy discovered that TJ is the bomb connect for Michael Simone, a terrorist that shot Bundy in the head and effectively took his eye with that, and that broke the trust between them. Bundy tried to entrap TJ with that information and was successful with itTJ's and Bundy's relationship. But nothing followed after, no arrest of TJ and no interrogation. He also told TJ directly that he doesn't trust him much anymore. 
The combination of entrapment and the direct statement of Bundy changed TJ's opinion of Bundy. TJ sees Bundy almost as hostile and he came to the conclusion that he can't trust Bundy at all. Additionally, TJ disliked Bundy being so close to BBMC, while being a cop and while entrapping TJ.
Both were playing some kind of 5D chess gameBundy/TJ playing games with each other, Bundy was trying to find out if he can trust TJ while TJ was trying to keep Bundy away and TJ was trying to figure out what Bundy's goals and ambitions were with the BBMC.
In the end, Bundy distanced himself from BBMC, which justified in TJ's mind to not trust him.
Pez/Cody Speedwagon - Ex-Founding Member of BBMC
Pez was there when TJ got shot. This led to the two of them having a long conversation, getting to know each other as person and telling their stories. 
After Pez found out that TJ had been a criminal before becoming a cop he told TJ: "Let’s be honest. Look at you right now: You’re not a cop. You never were. You’re a criminal playing dress-up."Pez talks with TJ. They both found many similarities in their lives and Pez shared with TJ that he's not just Pez but Cody in the body of Pez.
Cody was supporting TJ fully and was protecting him from the PD as soon as TJ got blooded in. The trust between cracked a bit, after Cody acted multiple times against TJ or the club's will, which made TJ suspicious of him.
Cody's relationship with Cleo was also bringing drama and unnecessary conflicts to the club, which was why TJ took even more of a step away from him. After finding out that Cody lied to the club and just acted in his own interest, TJ didn't trust Cody at all anymoreWho trust Cody. TJ was done with the drama and is of the opinion that Cody made his bed and now can lie in itTJ's opinion on Pez/Cody. Cody being bled out of the club left in TJ a bittersweet feeling.
TJ has fully disconnected from him since Cody became a Police Officer.
Cleo Shaw - Acquaintance
Cleo contacted TJ after he left PD to hear his side of the story. She was contemplating leaving PD and wanted a different perspective on things. TJ spoke with her twice per phone call and tried to help her but Cleo was a mess and TJ was unsure how to help her or if he would even be able to help her at all.
Cleo was hanging out more and more with BBMC. TJ was starting to get a better understanding of her as a person, but he still kept her at arms-length and thought Cleo can't be trusted.
After she became Collin's daughter and caused a lot of drama in the BBMC, his opinion of Cleo just became worse and worse. He was not speaking at all with her and avoided her like the plague. She was shot on sight for BBMC members, since she was a big influence on Pez leaving the club and even wanted to retaliate against the club.
TJ didn't grieve her death, he didn't mind her passing away at all.
