Sgt. Gabriel confessed to Deputy Chief Johnson in the second season that he and Detective Daniels are dating; Brenda initially did not receive this well, but she seems to have mostly come to terms with it. In the third season, Sgt. Gabriel has expressed an interest in going into politics, and he deftly provided a solution to avoid budget cuts and loss of a member from Priority Homicide. Despite being told he is Deputy Chief Johnson's favorite, Sgt. Gabriel has become confrontational with Brenda in a case regarding a former gang member turned politician and from beating a confession out of a suspected pedophile. The latter event caused Brenda to suspend him for 10 days without pay.
Friendly and polite, Gabriel is one of the few detectives who was kind to Deputy Chief Johnson when she first joined the LAPD. He is highly organized, ambitious and extremely intelligent. Although Gabriel is eager to please Deputy Chief Johnson now that she is his superior, he's extremely outspoken and not afraid to tell her exactly what he thinks. Sgt. Gabriel can be polite and loyal to a fault, and many of the other detectives accuse him of being a "suck-up". He doesn't take criticism well, and he craves constant reassurance and recognition from his superiors.

Gabriel admires Deputy Chief Johnson's interrogation skills and looks to her as a mentor, although he accuses her of not complimenting him enough. He goes above and beyond to please the Deputy Chief, whether that means driving her around Los Angeles or caring for her cat's newborn kittens while she's out of town. [1]
