Summary: Tightly-wound captain Ray Holt takes over Brooklyn’s 99th precinct,
which includes Jake Peralta, a talented but carefree detective who’s
used to doing whatever he wants. The phrase ”I want to buy 2 movie
tickets for a girl who doesn’t like me” that Gina tells Boyle to search
does not give any results.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s cold open features

an undercover operative who’s been in
too deep, too long. Same old story, we’ve
all heard it before. Of course, this one’s
just a fuzzy cuddle bear nanny cam, and
its security footage is the key to solv-
ing an electronic store robbery. And with
that, Brooklyn Nine-Nine is off.
With the new captain’s arrival immi-
nent, it’s clear that the detectives are
hoping for different things. Jake Peralta
just wants someone who is laid back like
the last captain; who doesn’t mind if they
have fire extinguisher races. His part-
ner Amy Santiago would prefer a men-
tor, someone to be her rabbi and who will
hopefully train her to become a captain. What they get is Captain Ray Holt; a little stiff, very
by-the-book, and with strong opinions on ties and manscaping.
Sergeant Jeffords, aka former Terry Titties, gives new Captain Holt the lowdown on the de-
tectives in the precinct. There’s Charles Boyle, a clumsy detective who knows his way around an
expensive ham; Rosa Diaz, a tough detective with lightning quick temper; Amy Santiago, Jake’s
partner who is always trying to prove herself; Jake Peralta, a detective who has learned every-
thing but how to grow up. In addition to these characters there is Terry himself, a former badass
cop who lost his edge after having kids, and shot up a store mannequin, and administrator Gina
Linetti, who has no reverence for anyone in the precinct, and seems to like to mess with them all
equally.
The pilot sets up a few relationships to watch going forward. Dopey Detective Charles clearly
has the hots for loose cannon Rosa, and tries to figure out how to ask her out. While he manages
3
to wrangle a movie date with her, mentioning her opinionated nature leads to a brisk cancellation.
She does, however, reimburse him for the plethora of movie tickets he purchased, and admit she
likes his company. Jake and Amy have a back and forth as partners, and everything becomes a
competition - especially their crime-solving competition, which Jake is currently winning. Jake
also has an interesting relationship with Captain Holt, first ignoring his authority, then gradually
coming to respect him more, especially as he learns the challenges he’s put up with as a gay
police officer. And then of course, there’s Gina vs. everyone else.
Door duty serves as a brief glimpse into the quirky characters that inhabit the city, including
a young weed-smoker pretending that someone broke into his apartment and left both the weed
smell and a bong, Fred Armisen as an accented man who spells his name with the letter ”clay,”
and an old man whom Amy bet was going to be a bachelor. Another victory for Jake.
Although Jake is clearly one of the best at his job, he still has room to grow emotionally. And
that he does as he’s standing face to face with a murderer in a storage unit, realizing that the
reason Holt demanded a tie was as part of a uniform, because they’re a ”team.” And then together
as a team, they all take down the bad guy.
But rarely can a comedy just end on such a straight note, and following the arrest of the ham
thief/murderer, Jake informs Holt that the Speedo is now inside of him. Note to all you detectives
out there: remove the speedo BEFORE going to catch the bad guy. Alright, now that’s all sorted.

Season 1
Episode Number: 2
Season Episode: 2

Writer: Norm Hiscock
Director: Craig Zisk
Show Stars: Andre Braugher (Ray Holt), Andy Samberg (Jake Peralta), Joe
riz (Rose Diaz), Terry Crews (Terry Jeffords), Chelsea Peretti (Gina
Linetti)
Guest Stars: Dirk Blocker (Hitchcock), Joel McKinnon Miller (Scully), Michael G.
Hagerty (Captain McGintley), James Michael Connor (Deputy Commis-
sioner Podolski), Artemis Pebdani (Carlene), Michael Grant (Trevor),
Darlene Kardon (Grammy Nona Boyle)
Summary: Jake shows up late for roll call, so Holt assigns him to a graffiti case
that Jake thinks is below him. The case becomes a problem when the
suspect happens to be the Deputy Commissioner’s son. In the mean-
time, Gina’s psychic friend visits the precinct and gets into Charles’
head.
Captain Holt tells Peralta he is late as he

comes in. Peralta says he had a plumbing
problem — he threw his phone alarm into
the toilet.
Captain Holt calls Peralta out in front
of everyone — for more than just being
late. He has a big folder of mistakes Per-
alta has made, including mislabeling evi-
dence.
At their meeting, Sergeant Terry asks
about a drug bust and finds out 12 kilos
of coke are unaccounted for.
Peralta briefs everyone on a graffiti
artist who is painting penises on squad
cars. Captain Holt says he will go to
babysit him.
Gina brings in her friend, a psychic, to help them find the missing drugs. Charles tells the
psychic he believes in her, and she rewards him by telling him that the woman he loves (Rosa)
will never love him back.
Captain Holt is not thrilled that Peralta shows up for surveillance late. Holt tells him he will
be babysat until Peralta can prove that he will do his job correctly. As they argue, the graffiti kid
is spray painting their van. They chase him down and catch him.
Peralta tries to bribe the captain into laying off him, but when that fails, he promises to do
everything perfectly. Terry tells him he’s going to end up fired.
At the apartment of the drug perp, Charles panics. The psychic predicted finding the drugs in
something blue, and the cabinets are blue. If she was right about that, she might be right about
Rosa. He’s relieved when Amy finds them in the baseboard of the bathroom.
He goes to tell Gina she was incorrect.

Peralta runs the prints on the graffiti artist and finds out he is the son of the Deputy Com-
missioner. He pleads with Holt to let it go, but Holt insists he must see it through. Peralta briefs
the other officers on it and debates his options. He tries to get a vote.
The Deputy Commissioner arrives and asks for his son. He orders Peralta to let it slide and
takes his son away.
Rosa finds Charles in a chair, which he won’t leave because the psychic said he would be hurt
if he left it. Rosa punches him and tells him to make his own destiny.
Peralta shows his report to Holt, frustrated that he can’t touch this kid, who has a long, long
record. Holt says his father is doing no favors letting him get away with everything, and Peralta
understands suddenly why he is being so hard on him.
They go to arrest him. The Commissioner threatens him, and Holt, as they take his son away.
Holt begins the next briefing — and Peralta is right on time, since he slept in a tent in the
room.

Summary: Jake has a lot of unsolved cases on hand and the other detectives
are unwilling to let his losing streak rub off on them. Meanwhile, Amy
recruits Rosa and Gina for help when Holt asks her to run lead on the
Junior Policeman Program for at-risk youth and Boyle helps Jeffords
with a special case he’s unable to solve.
The gang debates the best cop movie of

all time. Peralta shows them a video of
Hitchcock getting kicked and then robbed
by a hooker.
Captain Holt asks Peralta about sev-
eral of his cases at briefing, but Peralta
has nothing solved. His employees accuse
him of being in a slump.
Later, Peralta has one case he is about
to close: a missing grandma named He-
len who went out for bagels and never
came back. An old lady was picked up
that morning matching her description.
Holt brings Amy Santiago into his of-
fice and asks her if she will head a com-
munity outreach program for him. She goes to Rosa and tells her she signed her up for the Junior
Police Program.
Peralta brings in the family of the old woman they found... but it’s not Helen. No one recognizes
her. Charles pulls an ID card from her back pocket and finds she out who she is. Peralta realizes
he is, indeed, in a slump.
He brings his friends into the break room and asks for suggestions on how to get out of a
”hypothetical” slump. Holt comes in and tells him that closing cases is usually the best way to
end one.
Amy begins the Junior Police Program. Gina comes to listen, offended that her help has been
rejected, and riles up the at-risk kids, turning them against Amy. Rosa takes over, thinking she
will appeal to them more. The kids make a quick autotune of her speech, and laugh at her.
Charles finds Terry building a doll house for his daughter, but struggling, and offers to help.
Peralta tries to switch cases with Hitchcock, who has an easy case to solve. Peralta notes that
will mean lots of paperwork, and gets the swap. He heads off to catch a drug dealer.
7
Peralta busts into the dealer’s apartment, but it’s just an old man playing the flute surrounded
by parrots.
Hitchcock comes in. A criminal came up to confess to him while he was on the street, and
turned in all his accomplices!
Peralta is peeing at the urinal when Gina comes in to tell him that evidence was mishandled,
and his last two cases were dismissed. She tells him he seems to be cursed, and the urinal sprays
him with water. He goes to speak with Holt, telling him he believes he is cursed. Holt pulls him
from casework until the superstition blows over, remembering a friend in the force who had a
similar problem.
Amy and Rosa debate over how to get the kids to listen to them. They settle on asking Gina
for help.
Peralta snores over paperwork, and tries to get himself onto Hitchcock’s murder case, but
Hitchcock won’t let him touch the folder. Holt brings over a rabbit’s foot that his friend who also
believed he was cursed had recommended.
Terry has been defeated by the princess castle for his daughter. It doesn’t help that Peralta
ran into it and knocked it over.
As Peralta types in data, he gets an idea. He’s not allowed to work on cases, so he makes
Charles meet him in the bathroom. He asks him to make calls for him.
Gina talks to the at-risk children and tells them they just need to find their passion. She
found hers. Gina dances for them, but it doesn’t reach. She tells them they never have to stop
at a red light and they can carry a gun. Eight kids sign up. Gina tells the ladies she took the
program as a kid and it doesn’t work.
Peralta brings the family of Helen into the bathroom. He accuses them of lying for insurance
fraud, and notes they’ve done the same thing in five different states. There is no Helen.
Holt praises Amy and Rosa, but Amy admits it was Gina. Holt makes her his personal assis-
tant. Gina isn’t thrilled by Holt’s praise, but Amy is clearly longing for it.
Peralta is pleased to have broken his slump, and realizes that sitting and letting his mind rest
rebooted it, and that was Holt’s plan all along.
Charles builds the castle for Terry, and tells him not to put so much pressure on himself. He’s
a good dad.

(Uniformed Cop), Houston Rhines (Gabe), Martinez (Purse Snatcher),
Amanda Reed (Sue)
Summary: Jake flirts with an attractive medical examiner at a crime scene and
delays the autopsy report, only to learn that she’s more than he bar-
gained for. In the meantime, the sketch artist is out sick when Amy
takes on a purse-snatching case, but she discovers that Jeffords has
hidden artistic talents. Amy tries to determine why Holt is in a bad
mood.
Amy is on a date when her phone rings.

Peralta calls her and needs her back at
work... they have a lead on the Nightin-
gale Strangler. He describes Amy’s date.
He is sitting in the back of the restau-
rant, pranking her. He comes over and
his own date leaves, not interested in the
game.
At work, Peralta pulls ahead in their
bet by solving five felonies in one week.
Holt comes in to briefing to announce
that monthly crime stats are due, and all
paperwork on closed cases is due ASAP.
Charles gets assigned Peralta and
Rosa Diaz as his seconds on a case. Amy
warns him it can be rough.
Amy goes to Holt with a question, but he dimisses her sharply. She bows, making it worse.
Diaz asks Amy what her problem is, and reminds her that Holt is just impossible to read. Amy
is determined to connect with Holt, who she thinks is like her, and believes is bothered by
something.
The trio (Charles, Rosa and Peralta) go to the scene, where the fat victim is quite dead. Peralta
struggles not to take charge, but he cuts off Charles and calls it a natural cause death, running
over Charles.
Amy asks Terry to draw a perp for her, since their sketch artist is out sick. She wants to get
the case solved to suck up to Holt. The victim of the purse snatching comes in to try to describe
the man who took her stuff, but Terry isn’t doing well, stuck by details.
Rosa takes Peralta aside and tells him to hang back so Charles can do his job. Charles talks
to the victim’s wife.
A pretty blonde woman, Dr. Rossi, the medical examiner, comes in to look at the body, and
Peralta hones in on her.
9
He takes her on a date.

Charles wonders why the M.E. hasn’t dropped off the information from the case yet, and
Peralta admits to Rosa and Amy that he slept with her, and what happend between them was
weird... or sexy. Basically, she treated him like a corpse. He asks for their call and they say weird.
Rosa is annoyed at him for having sex while Charles does paperwork.
Terry is becoming a perfectionist with his perp sketches. Amy is determined to figure out
what’s bothering Holt.
Holt finds it unacceptable that the autopsy report isn’t in for the DOA yet, and goes to call the
M.E. but Peralta jumps in and volunteers to go pick it up.
Charles goes to Rosa with a problem. The DOA’s wife had said that the two were going on a
cruise, but Charles found she bought only one ticket. He tells her that Peralta went to get the
autopsy report, and she insists they go and pick it up.
They find Peralta in a freezer, half naked. He apologizes for slowing down the autopsy reports,
but it’s just a natural cause death. Charles says it may be a homicide now, but the M.E. hasn’t
gotten around to looking at the corpse. She says she can’t, since she gave her assistant the day
off when Jake showed up, but he volunteers to help her. It’s disgusting.
Amy has gotten her purse snatcher, who looks just like Terry’s sketch. Amy asks Terry to do
one more drawing... a flattering picture of the Captain. She presents the gorgeous oil painting to
Holt, but he’s annoyed. He didn’t like the picture of himself because it’s ostentatious, and now
she has wasted time doing that when she could have been putting paperwork in the system to
count toward their crime stats.
She tells him she already has it in the system, and he is pleased.
The M.E. tells Peralta that the cause of death is poison. Charles was right.
Amy thinks she has figured out why Holt has been so tense. He’s worried about their crime
stat numbers. She tells him they’ve stayed the same... a good sign, since they almost always get
worse when leadership switches. He thanks her.
Charles brings in the wife of the victim and arrest her for murdering her husband.
Terry agonizes over the painting of Holt, but Holt asks if he can bring it home for his husband,
a clear sign he likes it.
Rosa, Charles, and Jake go out for drinks, when Charles gets a text that he needs to send in
the paperwork for the crime. Peralta volunteers to go and do it, for once.

Barnbrook (Martha), Jerome Ro Brooks (Uniformed Cop), Makeda De-
clet (Calista), Annie Korzen (Estelle)
Summary: A detective from Special Crimes known as ”The Vulture” takes over a
murder case that Jake is close to solving and steals his thunder, so
Jake enlists the precinct to get revenge and find the murder weapon
before ”The Vulture” does. Meanwhile, Holt and Gina help Terry regain
his rights to carry a gun.
The group discusses the oldest arrests

they’ve ever made. Charles doesn’t un-
derstand the game and says he had sex
with a 68-year-old in his 20’s.
Briefing time. Peralta goes to tell ev-
eryone about a murder. He is convinced
the wife did it, though he has yet to find a
murder weapon. Holt reminds him it’s an
important case and to take all the help he
needs.
Rosa and Amy go to offer assistance,
but he turns them down in favor of
Charles, who will not steal his thunder.
Holt asks Terry to come to a gun
range with him. He needs some pointers,
though Terry has still not fired a weapon
since the ”mannequin incident.” Terry admits there was also a pinata incident. He used to be the
champion marksman, but has lost it. Gina wants to come along to get certified.
Peralta and Charles go to the apartment building of where the man died, and make the
rounds. Rosa calls - the marks on the victim look similar to a case she had a while back. She
doesn’t think it’s from a knife, it was a corkscrew in her case. She tells him he’d better get back
immediately, and he goes back to the precinct to find ”The Vulture,” an officer from Major Crimes
who swoops in and solves cases that are almost solved. Holt blames it on Peralta for not involving
everyone else sooner in an attempt to steal the glory. He tells him to turn over the files.
The gang goes out for a drink, mourning how Major Crimes unit tends to sweep in at the last
moment and steal the show. Peralta decides they need to come up with a revenge plan.
Terry struggles to assist Holt and Gina with their gun training. Finally, frustrated, he takes
the gun and fires shots. Gina counts them. Terry realizes they’re trying to sneakily have him
11
recertified to carry a gun. If he makes 8/10 shots he can once more. He has shot seven times.
He tries to calm himself to take his final shot, but panics and forgets how to breathe.
The winning idea for the revenge plan is to cover The Vulture’s motorcycle with plastic wrap
and then melt it with a hair dryer. They go to his house and wrap the bike, but Peralta is surprised
to find the girls don’t just carry hair dryers around with them. Jake calls Gina, who does have
one.
Holt overhears, and tells Perlata it’s his fault. If he’s upset, next time solve the case. Peralta
decides that is the perfect revenge plan. They need to band together and go solve the case before
The Vulture can.
Since they’re drunk, they take the bus. Peralta goes over the facts - the husband was having
affairs, it was clearly the wife who killed him. Peralta admits he wanted to be the best, and he
should have involved the rest of the team.
Terry still can’t take a shot.
Peralta goes over the apartment and explains what happened for the murder, and they look
for the corkscrew murder weapon. They role-play trying to decide where the corkscrew went. Amy
wonders if the corkscrew was magnetic... and stuck when it was thrown down the trash shoot.
They try to lower Charles down, but another police team comes in.
Holt gets the call for that little fiasco. He tells Terry he has to get the team straightened out.
Holt is taking heat, and Terry goes to step in, but Peralta admits it was his fault and goes to talk
to The Vulture.
Luckily... Charles has the corkscrew. Peralta takes it in to the detective and pretends that The
Vulture solved the case... thereby making him stop chewing everyone out.
Holt writes up everyone on the team... except Peralta says he was the only one there. Holt is
at least pleased that Jake is starting to be part of the team.
Terry has been recertified... Gina inspired him with her talk of staying in the office all day and
being her bestie.

Summary: On Halloween night, a busy time of the year for any precinct, Amy,
who hates the holiday, is not happy that she has to wear a costume to
go undercover on the street with Charles. Meanwhile, at the precinct,
Jake bets Holt that he can steal his Medal of Valor before midnight,
which leads to him bringing out his own costumes.
Amy hates Halloween - drunk people with

fake guns, and slutty girls in revealing
costumes.
The holding cells are full. Holt sends
out Charles and Amy to go undercover at
a party.
Jake has his first arrest of Halloween.
He marvels at the stupidity of perps. He
speculates if he were to commit crimes,
no one would catch him. They challenge
him. Holt’s medal of valor, his most valu-
able item in his office, goes on the line.
Peralta vows to steal it by midnight. Terms are drawn, and Holt shakes on it.
Rosa brings in a man in a nun costume who was mugged. Terry talks with her, and decides
she’s really a big softy underneath her hard exterior. He finds out she didn’t graduate Catholic
high school, but she won’t tell him why and he becomes determined to find out.
Peralta goes to suck up to Gina to find out when the Captain won’t be in his office.
In costume, Amy and Charles go to a party to spy, but Amy draws her badge out early and
alerts everyone.
Peralta climbs into the ceiling of Holt’s office, waiting, but Holt is onto him. He locks his medal
in his safe and goes to a meeting. Peralta falls through the tiles.
Amy and Charles return to the station, having been egged. Everyone teases Peralta about how
he is going to lose the bet. He dons a janitor costume and tries to get close to the safe, but again
Holt catches him.
At another big party, Charles is having a good time dancing, but Amy still hates Halloween.
They notice a drug deal go down, and chase. The man ditches the drugs, and Amy has to crawl
on the disgusting floor to find them.
13
Holt calls someone to fix his ceiling, and notices feathers coming in through his vent. He finds
Peralta trying to shove pigeons into his air conditioning vent.
Amy pays Hitchcock to hide in her costume and replace her for the rest of the night. Charles
confronts her, upset that she wanted to get out of working with him. He wanted this opportunity
to get closer to her as a friend.
Peralta tries a confusion tactic to get Holt’s keys, and manages to get them, but Holt finds
him in the office and demands them back.
Terry calls Rosa’s school and finds out Rosa transferred on her own violation. She admits she
went to ballet school; she was a classical dancer. She got kicked out, however, for beating up
other ballerinas.
Amy comes in and tells Holt that Peralta has been arrested, he was spotted scaling the side of
the building with a blowtorch. Holt goes to talk to him in the interrogation room. He is disgusted
by Peralta’s failure... or is it?
Peralta rewinds back through the day’s events, revealing that his team was on his side the
entire time, and assisted him in an elaborate crime to steal the medal. Holt opens the door to
find Charles holding the medal, with twenty seconds to spare.
Jake admits that he bribed his friends, with a promise to do all of their paperwork... because
in losing the bet, the Captain now has to do all Perlata’s paperwork.
Charles is called into one of the rooms, where everyone is in costume, including Amy, who
apologizes for being terrible to him. They’re going to the bar to celebrate Halloween. Holt reluc-
tantly fulfills the rest of his bet, and announces to the room that Jake is an amazing detective.

Recurring Role: Dirk Blocker (Hitchcock), Joel McKinnon Miller (Scully)
Guest Stars: Scott ”Kid Cudi” Mescudi (Dustin Whitman), Andrew Friedman (Gil),
Jamal Duff (Zeke), Paul Mabon (Officer Lou)
Summary: Jake has 48 hours to collect evidence on an arrest he made with-
out much proof, or the ”perp” Dustin Whitman will go scott-free. After
an unsuccessful interrogation, Jake forces his co-workers to spend
the weekend helping him solve the case. With the team stuck at the
precinct, Charles judges a pie contest between Gina and Rosa, while
Holt helps Terry look better for his in-laws.
Jake goes to talk to the Captain. He

thinks he knows who hit a jewelry store -
someone he put away a few years back re-
cently got out, and the break-in matches
his M.O. exactly.
Unfortunately, he has already ar-
rested the man, Dustin Whitman, with-
out sufficient evidence. Now he only has
48 hours to find the evidence to put him
away or he has to be released.
Amy comes into briefing, all made up
for a date later. Holt tells them what Per-
alta has done, and that they need to find
evidence or they’re opening the depart-
ment up to a lawsuit. They all have to stay
and figure things out, effectively ruining their weekend plans.
Holt asks Terry if he’s unusually tired. Possibly because Terry fell asleep while going pull-ups.
Terry won’t go home, however.
Gina and Rosa debate visciously over who has better pie in the city. They consult Charles but
he refuses to take sides.
Whitman gets to have a chat with Peralta. He insists he is innocent. Peralta pretends he has
all the time in the world, but Whitman is aware he has 48 hours only.
The crew is stuck overnight, and everyone is exhausted. Peralta goes over what little break in
the case he has - not much, and everyone is still angry at him.
He goes to Holt and asks him to let the others go home. Holt asks if he is sure Whitman did
it, and Peralta insists he did. So everyone must stay.
Amy is mad that she’s still there and missing her date. Jake tells her to schedule for that
evening, he’ll get her to her stupid date. Everyone buckles down, trying to get the case solved.
15
Gina comes in with a pie from each place she and Rosa debated, for Charles to test. Terry
joins.
Making fun of Amy for her thick glasses, Peralta suddenly thinks he has the key to solving the
case. He points out that Whitman’s debit card was used right near the jewelry store right before
the robbery. Whitman says it was his wife on their joint account.
Dressed back up for her date, Amy finds out it won’t be happening. Then she sits in pie.
Holt cannot get Terry to go home, so he orders that he take a nap. Terry confesses his giant
brother-in-law is staying with them and makes him feel small and weak.
The lawyer has been called in, and is also furious to be called in on a weekend. He tells Peralta
that Whitman has an alibi - he was in a night club in Jersey all evening.
Charles admits to Gina that her pie is better, but he wants Rosa to like him. Amy and Peralta
go over video footage from the scene, but can only find a random guy with a soul patch. Peralta
decides that’s Amy’s future husband.
Scully returns from the nightclub in Jersey, with proof that Whitman was there all night.
The deadline is closer, and nothing is going well. Holt admits they’re on their way to a lawsuit.
Feeling bad, Jake calls Amy’s date and convinces him to go out with her again. Amy says
something about being locked in together for 48 hours, and Peralta runs into the office where
Whitman is threatening a lawsuit.
Peralta remembered the face of a guy walking past the jewelry store on footage as the cellmate
of Whitman. He and his cellmate planned the heist while in prison.
Charles brings in the best pie in NYC after finally admitting to Rosa that he lied. She and Gina
try the pie and admit is is amazing.
Case solved, Peralta offers drinks on everyone but they want to go home. He offers instead to
pick up one shift for each of them.
As Terry is insulted by his brother-in-law, Holt overhears and makes up an excuse for him to
get away that leaves the huge man in awe. Terry, grateful, goes to sleep on Holt’s couch.

Summary: Jake spends a day with a former crime-reporter whom he respects,
but finds out that remarks about the precinct were considered on the
record. Terry and Charles work with Rosa to help her appearance on
the witness stand.
The group works out ways to remove

Scully’s smelly shoes as he naps. They
manage to snatch them, and blow them
up outside.
Jake is excited because a reporter,
Jimmy Brogan, is there speaking to Holt.
He is the author of ”The Squad,” a book
that inspired Peralta to be a detective.
Peralta and Amy go in to talk to him.
Holt explains he is doing research, and
will be following the two as they look into
an Internet ID thief.
Terry runs a seminar on courtroom
demeanor for Charles and Rosa. She is
due on the stand for an important case
and they’re worried she will blow it for them.
Peralta goes in to meet with Amy and the reporter, as she explains how they’re planning
to catch the ID thief. He has rubbed ash tray residue all over himself in an effort to be more
interesting. The reporter naps through their boring case work.
Charles explains to Rosa they need the jury to like her. He and Terry go through what she can
do to be more appealing. They pick her an outfit.
Peralta goes to Holt and asks for a more interesting case so the reporter would be more
involved with him. Holt reminds him that the story, written in the 1970’s, is riddled with sexism
and racism and most of the stories are written about Brogan’s drinking buddies.
From this Peralta takes that he should go drinking with Brogan.
He’s hungover the next morning. Amy reads off the texts he sent her last night. Brogan comes
in, perfectly fine after drinking two bottle of Scotch. Holt notices he is violently hung over, despite
having been warned he couldn’t let Brogan distract him from his work. He makes Jake drink the
entire glass of egg yolks Amy brings him.
17
Feeling moderately better, Peralta manages to track the stolen card numbers. They go to
the man, who leaps out the window. Amy chases him down and takes him out. Peralta is too
hungover to do much. Brogan notes he is ”old school,” and he has lots of quotes about Holt to
put in his article.
Santiago wonders what he has done.
Diaz goes on the stand. Charles and Terry try to coach her, but it doesn’t end well.
Peralta gets e-mailed the list of quotes he said, and he realizes he said terrible things about
Holt. Amy tells him to fix it. He goes to find Brogan and asks him not to print it. Brogan refuses.
Peralta goes back to Amy and says he punched Brogan and made it much worse.
Rosa is being destroyed on the stand. She finally takes Terry and Charles’ advice to not be
nervous - go to her ”happy place.”
Holt calls Santiago in to congratulate her on catching the ID perp, but she admits Peralta
figured it out. She ends up telling him what happened between Brogan and Peralta. She reveals
Peralta asked Brogan nicely, and he agreed to not print the quotes. However, then he insulted
the ”homo” Holt, and that is how he got punched.
Rosa has done well on the stand. She reveals her happy place - a cabin, where she can beat
the crap out of the D.A. She invites Charles to a thank you dinner... and mentions her boyfriend
is coming as well.
Santiago reads the article that Brogan wrote about Peralta. Holt tells him to ignore that
garbage. He is a good cop.
They blow up a copy of ”The Squad” outside.

Summary: Amy hosts a Thanksgiving dinner at her apartment for everyone at the
precinct, with the primary purpose of asking Holt to be her mentor,
but he and Jake leave early to catch a perp who stole money out of
the evidence locker. Everyone else detests Amy’s cooking and end up
in one mishap after another, leaving Terry in a hunger-induced rage,
Rosa to relish the chaos, and Boyle scrambling to save the night.
Charles come in and tells everyone

”Happy turkey day!” They explain to him
that they’re playing Boyle Bingo, and they
can cross that one off.
Amy tells Jake to dress up for her
Thanksgiving party, but he resists. She
nervously approaches Holt and invites
him as well, and he says he will be there.
Gina and Rosa realize Amy is throwing
the party purely to impress Holt.
Terry is mad at Charles for leaving the
fridge open and ruining all of his food. He
asks Sully where his secret stash of food
is, but Sully won’t break. Terry says he
needs 10,000 calories a day.
Jake struggles to find a case to distract him, but Holt tells him he needs to be at Amy’s dinner.
Everyone makes fun of Amy’s apartment while they wait for Holt to arrive. He shows, and Amy
makes everyone say what they’re thankful for. Amy starts to read her speech, but Holt gets a call
and has to go back to the station, someone stole money from evidence. Jake decides to join him.
They review the tape and see someone with a hoodie grab the cash. Jake decides they need to
talk to all the perps released that day.
Terry gets impatient and begins eating. Amy is a terrible cook. Scully overflows the toilet...
flash to everyone dumping their food in the toilet.
21
Holt and Peralta go to each of the perps to have them sign a form, since the perp on the video
was left-handed.
They find him - a brother who came to pick up his brother from jail that day, who threw a
roll left-handed. He admits his bookie has all the cash. They go to find the bookie at a Chinese
restaurant.
The squad group goes to the bar. Amy is told to act out, so she throws her shot glass, and
breaks all the bottles at the bar. They get kicked out.
Terry is getting desperately hungry. Scully finally admits he has a secret stash of food, and
they open a ceiling time to find it. Rats fall out.
Charles is determined to save Thanksgiving.
Holt and Jake break into a back room and fight with the bookies. Case solved. Holt says they
can go back to Amy’s, but Jake refuses. He hates Thanksgiving, his parents left him alone and
he only would watch the football game. Holt says as adults they can make new family.
Amy tries to talk to Holt, but fails. He, however, has a copy of Amy’s speech, given to him by
Gina. She is thrilled by his mild mentorship. She thanks Gina for helping.
Charles brings in Ethiopian food, and everyone sits and eats. Jake comes in, dressed nicely.
He toasts to his family. Charles cries and Jake gets bingo.

is assigned by the chief to be Holt’s protection detail, allowing Jake
to monitor Holt and boss him around. Amy tries to make the perfect
Christmas card to give to Holt with Gina’s help. Terry sees a therapist
for a psych evaluation so he can go back into the field.
Jake and Charles break up a fight be-

tween corner Santas, collecting dona-
tions on each others’ turf. It turns into a
big fight when one pulls a knife. Children
watch in horror as the two take down the
Santas.
At the station, Amy has six presents
wrapped for Holt — one for each lesson he
has taught her. Holt comes out of his of-
fice and announces no gifts for him under
any circumstances. He calls Jake into his
office. Holt has gotten numerous death
threats. He needs to have a security de-
tail with him at all times, and he chose
Peralta.
Charles talks to Gina. He’s going on a
single’s cruise, even though he loves Rosa. Rosa, however, has made it very clear that she’s not
interested in him.
Amy pulls together the group. She wants everyone to dress up and do a Christmas card for
Holt. They refuse.
Terry has his psych evaluation to determine if he is ready to get back out there. It’s not going
well.
Holt tries to escape the hovering Peralta, but he finds him and chases him down. Holt says he
chose Peralta because the threat is not real, and he didn’t expect Jake to take it seriously. Jake
says he will, however. He offers to take him to his mom’s apartment so he can work quietly.
He brings him to his ”mom’s apartment,” which is actually a safe house. When Holt tries to
flee, Jake handcuffs himself to him.
23
Gina helps Amy make a Christmas card on the computer, putting everyone’s face on orna-
ments on the tree. The only problem is they don’t have a picture of Rosa smiling. Hitchcock tries
to help by tickling her, but gets damaged.
Jake makes Holt hang out with him, but there is a knock on the door. It’s Charles. Holt texted
him requesting him to bring him to his old precinct. Jake realizes he was planning to investigate
the threats on his own. Charles panics and handcuffs himself to Holt’s other hand.
The go over the threats. Jake gets a theme of swimming from the threats, and Holt realizes it
is the Freestyle Killer, who once killed a whole swim team. Holt insists he finds this guy, Haims,
alone. He was a brash, rude detective back in the day, and he taunted the Killer. He doesn’t want
anyone else to get hurt for his foolishness.
Rosa realizes that Amy and Gina are trying to get a picture of her smiling.
Everyone gets involved in the Haims case. They track him to the rail yard. They go there, and
flush out the killer, Charles missing his flight. There are gun shots heard, and Jake and Holt run
toward them.
The Killer corners Holt and Peralta, but is tackled by Terry.
They get a call on the radio. Charles is down; he took a shot in the butt to save Rosa.
At the hospital, the nurse lets them know Charles will be fine. Amy says she’s so glad Terry
was cleared, but he admits that Gina pulled him out of the room before he was cleared, and he
went off to help Holt. Holt thanks everyone for saving him.
Charles tells everyone he’s happy to spend Christmas with them, and Amy gets a photo of
Rosa smiling.

Summary: Jake and Rosa try to catch an infamous car thief with the help of a
perp and supposed witness, Doug Judy. Holt tries to find a home for
two puppies. The rest of the precinct struggles to accommodate an
injured Charles when he returns from being wounded in action.
Charles has been released from the hos-

pital.
Rosa has picked up a man named
Doug Judy on counts of identity theft.
Doug wants to speak to Peralta about the
Pontiac Bandit, Jake’s nemesis. Doug de-
scribes him, and he matches the compos-
ite Jake has as an Asian man. He agrees
to help them catch the Bandit for a deal.
Holt has two puppies he is trying to
find homes for. Amy offers to take one,
even though she is violently allergic. She
needs her epi pen.
Rosa and Jake debate over making
the deal with Doug. Jake promises to do
1,000 push-ups if he’s wrong. They go to Doug’s mom’s house so he can get the phone he used
to contact the Pontiac Bandit. They text him and set up a meeting.
Everyone gives Charles special treatment, even letting him order terrible food for lunch, but
he’s abusing their assistance.
Jake, Rosa, and Doug wait. The Bandit, Bill, doesn’t come, instead sending someone else.
He is suspicious. They wait, and Peralta gets a text with a new location. He and Rosa fight over
whether this is a good idea. Jake wants to send Doug in with a wire, alone, since the Bandit is
clearly spooked. Jake ups his push-up stakes to 2,000.
After Amy has to stick her hand down Charles’ butt to get a lot pen, she retreats to a closet
Gina has set up as a Boyle-free zone.
Doug goes in with his wire, but nothing happens except that Doug talks about cars. Finally
they go in, and find the Bandit... only it’s not the Bandit, he’s a barber. Doug has fled out the
back... because he is actually the Pontiac Bandit.

(Deputy Chief Gerber)
Guest Stars: Merrin Dungey (Sharon), Jess Allen (Delivery Guy), Mel Cowan (Doctor
Nash), Matthew Isaac Harris (Perp), Armand Vasquez (Photographer)
Summary: Jake plans the ”worst date ever” for Amy after pulling a last minute vic-
tory over her to settle their bet, but when they are called to a stakeout
during their date, he reevaluates his relationship with her. After injur-
ing himself further during his Medal of Valor ceremony, an increased
dose of pain medication causes Charles to drop painfully honest ”truth
bombs” about his co-workers. Holt tries to save face with Terry’s wife
regarding Terry going back in the field only to have his foot in his
mouth.
Charles is receiving a Medal of Valor for

getting shot in the butt. He accepts his
medal alongside another officer... a horse
named Peanut Butter.
Jake and Amy’s bet ends. The one
with more felony arrests wins the stakes:
Jake’s car vs. a date with Amy. The score
is currently tied up.
Holt announces to everyone that he
is going for drinks afterward to celebrate
Charles. Jake corners Holt and asks for
more cases to try and win, but Holt
knows about the bet and won’t give him
any extra assignments.
Charles has had to up his pain meds
after falling off the stage (so Peanut Butter could get a better photo). His filter is gone and he’s
saying weird things to everyone. Holt tells Gina to babysit Charles so he doesn’t offend anyone
and get punched.
Amy comes in with an arrest, thrilled she won... except that Jake busted a prostitution sting,
and is up ten. Jake wins the bet. He prepares to take her on the worst date ever.
He picks her up in a suit top and cargo pant bottoms. Amy is wearing a terrible 80’s prom
dress, as per request.
At the bar to celebrate Charles, he is still blurting out truths to everyone. Gina steps in and
takes him aside. Holt meets Terry’s wife, and tells her Terry is also a hero, and she finds out he
is back in the field... something she did not know. She’s not happy.
27
Jake comes in to announce his date. Amy goes to the bathroom and Jake explains his plan to
Charles — the absolute worst date ever. Charles tells him that this elaborate teasing is because
he likes Amy. He suggests he sit down and have a conversation with her.
Gina finds Rosa avoiding Charles. She’s trying to get away from his truth bombs, but she
knows she has to be nice to him since he took a bullet for her.
Jake makes Amy do an unprepared jig with her. Holt calls him aside... he got a call and he
needs Jake to go on stake out. Not negotiable. Jake says he’ll have to bring Amy.
Terry tries to placate his wife and tells her it was an impulse... as Holt comes up and tells her
he’s sorry, but it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision. She storms off. Charles comes in and
manages to smooth things out with his truths.
Jake and Amy change back into normal clothes and go on the stake-out. Jake wants to get
their bust done soon so they can get back to their terrible date. The two go on a roof to watch
their mark, and Jake explains that the reason he loves the car so much was that it was the car
he caught his first perp against. They talk bad dates, and throw snack nuts at each other.
Holt calls and tells Jake he is relieved, but Jake decides to stay. The truck they’re waiting for
pulls up and they go down to the street. They pretend to be a disgruntled couple to get close, pull
guns, and manage to get their perps.
Charles finally corners Rosa and tells her he didn’t know who he was protecting when he took
the bullet. He only saw a fellow officer. So stop being so nice to him.
Amy gets praised by Holt for turning down the relief team... which she did not realize. A
stripper Jake forgot to cancel comes to ”thank” Amy for the date.

Guest Stars: Eddie Pepitone (Leo Sporm), Matthew Willig (Brandon Jacoby), Joseph
Aviel (Vladimir), Ron Gilbert (Spencer)
Summary: While investigating a steroid traffic operation in a gym, Peralta and
Boyle recruit Sergeant Jeffords, formerly nicknamed ”The Ebony Fal-
con,” in order to infiltrate the organization and detain the responsibles.
Meanwhile, Captain Holt orders Santiago and Diaz to research about
a theft his assistant, Gina Linetti, suffered at her home.
Peralta briefs Holt on their gym infiltra-

tion, where their mark, Brandon Jacobi,
can possibly link them to a black market
steroid operation. Jacobi will only speak
with trainers, so they want to bring Terry
in on the investigation.
Holt worries about Terry panicking in
the field, but Jake assures him every-
thing will be fine. Terry is on board with
the plan, reminding them of his old nick-
name: The Ebony Falcon. They agree to
meet at Terry’s house to brief later.
Gina asks Holt for help - her apart-
ment was broken into and some items
stolen. She doesn’t want her co-workers
on the case, she wants it to go higher, though Holt keeps it local. Amy and Rosa go with Holt to
Gina’s apartment to investigate.
Jake and Charles go to Terry’s house, where he puts his girls to sleep. Jake watches the
touching scene and becomes paranoid that something bad will happen to Terry. He suddenly
gets why Terry had his breakdown. He knows he can’t let Terry see his fear or it will get into his
head.
Once the girls are down, Terry reassures them that he’s ready to be there despite the danger,
causing Jake serious anxiety.
Amy and Rosa have hit a wall in looking for the suspect in Gina’s break-in. Gina wants to file
a complaint against them.
Charles acts as an employee at the gym, while Terry pretends to train Jake. He goes to fill in
as Brandon’s trainer. Jake tries to find a good vantage point to watch Terry and Brandon but
stirs up an older client. He loses sight of Terry.
29
Terry is fine, however. Brandon comes into the locker room to talk with Terry, asking about
his regular gym and wondering why he hasn’t seen him there before. Jake jumps the gun and
pulls a gun on Brandon.
Gina hires a private investigator, Leo Sporm, to solve her case. Terry comes into the precinct
furious at Jake. They arrested Brandon with no evidence, and the likelihood of him turning on
his cohorts is now very low.
Jake and Charles use Charles’ new organization system from the gym to pinpoint a suspicious
trainer who trains Brandon late at night at random times.
Holt informs Rosa and Amy the reason Gina hired a P.I. is because she is scared. They feel
bad about how they’ve been handling the case. They find her working late and apologize for
not having found her guy. They take her home and install extra locks and timed lights in her
apartment.
Jake and Charles go to perform a sting at the gym, without informing Terry. Terry finds out
about it and shows up, yelling at Jake for leaving him out. He and Jake box in the ring while he
demands to know why he was left out. Jake admits he was worried about Terry getting hurt.
The criminals come in to talk to Terry. Jake changes his nickname to the Ebony Antelope...
brave enough to drink at the lake but wise enough to run from the lions. Terry makes the deal
and busts the guys.
Jake tells Holt how well Terry did, and Terry gives him a card the girls made Jake for keeping
their dad safe... which has him in frantic tears.

Summary: Jake and Amy investigate hotel robberies. There, Jake is upset to dis-
cover Amy might leave to join the special crimes unit. Meanwhile, Holt
and Terry conduct experiments to reduce inefficiencies in the precinct
in order to reach their CompStat deadline.
NYPD destroys FDNY in a football game.

Peralta has a murder suspect he has
been chasing for months stewing in inter-
rogation. However, Major Crimes is send-
ing The Vulture over to take the case.
Amy, Terry, Charles and Rosa prepare to
commence Operation Broken Feather to
stall the Vulture so Jake can get a con-
fession.
Charles starts it off by spilling coffee
on The Vulture. It doesn’t stop him. Rosa
tries to seduce him... again, no go. In
an unplanned attack Scully releases tear
gas, but nothing can stop him. He bursts
in, but Jake has managed to convince his
murderer to sign a full confession.
A week later, Jake shows off a picture he framed of himself and Amy with the confession. Amy
and Jake talk to Holt about their next case - break-ins and theft at a hotel. They go to the hotel
to watch security tapes.
Holt tells the rest of the group their numbers are due the following day, so they need to get
as many arrests in the books as possible. An hour later, there aren’t many filed. Terry goes to
Holt with a system he has designed to identify weak areas in the office. He wants to perform
experiements on co-workers to increase their efficiency.
At the hotel, Amy admits to Jake that she was asked to interview for the Major Crimes Divi-
sion. She could be promoted to working with The Vulture... in Data Analysis. Jake is no longer
worried, sure she will reject a desk job.
Terry consults with Holt on his plan. He wants to start by moving the toaster out of sight of
Charles (who will turn into a chef if he sees someone using it) and make Rosa ”erupt” at her desk
31
near the bathroom, thus keeping those afraid of her from taking as many bathroom breaks. They
sabotage her computer and she flips out, scaring everyone off.
Jake tries to make Amy enjoy her field work, which unfortunately takes them dumpster diving.
However he tells her she’s free to do whatever she wants, when she asks why he wants her to
stay. They find the coat of someone impersonating a bellhop and speak with hotel staff, realizing
that he is scouting a silent auction for targets.
Terry goes over more problems. Charles has ”thin skin” and gets cold, and will wear clothing
from the lost and found. Gina will then make fun of him and basically become useless. Terry
empties lost and found, but Charles has still found a ridiculous coat. Terry uses a mirror to
distract Gina with her own reflection.
Jake borrows a suit and goes up as the auctioneer of the antiquities auction.
The office is becoming more efficient. The arrest files should be completed on time... but Holt
is unsatisfied. Terry urges him to quit but Holt wants more.
Jake annoys the guests at the auction so much that Adam Sandler goes on stage and auctions
off a chance to put a sock in Jake’s mouth. Jake tackles their suspect and inadvertantly, Joe
Theissman, breaking Theissman’s leg.
Amy and Jake have their perp, at least. Amy tells Jake she is still interviewing for the job,
angering him. He calls her a bad partner.
Jake goes back to the office and finds Scully in his desk, forced to move. Jake tells Holt to
stop Amy, but Holt knows Amy wants to make Captain one day and he supports her decisions.
Scully, moved to the breakroom, manages to set the toaster on fire. Charles attempts to put it
out and sets his fringe jacket on fire. Terry puts him out. Holt wants to keep going and try again,
but Gina catches them. She points out that Terry and Holt have been the least productive.
Before her interview, Jake tells Amy that he is sorry and that he supports her. She tells him
she already turned down the job. The Vulture comes out to scold Amy, and Jake pulls teargas
on him as he and Amy run.

Summary: The entire squad is invited to Captain Holt’s birthday party, where
Terry struggles to keep everyone in line. Jake tries to make a great
first impression with Holt’s husband Kevin, as does Amy with Holt,
but with disastrous results. Boyle’s love of food leads him to make a
new romantic connection with an older woman named Vivian, while
Rosa unleashes Gina onto a group of abnormal psychologists who find
her fascinating.
The gang has been invited to Holt’s birth-

day party. They find out Kevin, his hus-
band, invited them, and Jake notes that
means Holt doesn’t want them there.
Jake tells Holt he’s excited to meet
Kevin, but Holt notes Kevin and Jake
will probably not get along. Jake decides
it’s his duty to make Kevin his new best
friend.
He brings out a box of crimes so they
can all brush up on great stories. Terry
calls an emergency meeting to teach them
how to behave properly. He reminds them
all to pick up a bottle of wine.
They congregate outside Holt’s house
and compare wines - everyone bought the same cheap bottle. They go inside of Holt’s lovely
home, and meet Kevin. Jake gives him the ”wine drink” and tries to tell him a grisly cop story,
but Kevin informs him their house has a no ”shop talk” rule.
As they chat, Kevin, a professor at Columbia, tells them how he met Holt via phone interview
for a story. Jake continues to embarrass himself and so Holt and Kevin go to mingle. Charles
spills on his shirt and Hitchcock almost takes his off, so Terry intervenes to make them behave
themselves. He calls a party huddle and tells everyone to play on their strengths and coaches
them on how to act. Jake gets the same treatment as HItchcock - don’t talk.
Jake approaches Kevin and suggests a conversation regarding an article in The New Yorker.
Kevin is interested, but Holt hustles him out. Jake admits to Terry he can only remember the
title of the article.
33
Charles approaches a woman at the food table and strikes up a clever conversation. He finds
out she is a well-known food author.
Terry finds Amy in the kitchen taking notes with her phone and comparing her items to Holt’s,
doing recon work to get to know him better.
Rosa approaches a group of professors and asks them what they study. She finds out one
studies Abnormal Psych, and brings over Gina, who she has been charged with watching. He
finds Gina fascinating.
Jake goes to the library seeking out a copy of the magazine so he can read the article. Holt
catches him. He tells him not to try so hard to impress Kevin.
Scully sings opera, his one strength, and Hitchcock accidentally speaks as if they are a gay
couple.
Terry finds Jake still panicking about the magazine. He tells him the first two paragraphs are
on the free site, and he can look them up but that’s all.
Jake finds Kevin and attempts to talk to him about the article on human trafficking, and Jake
flubs it and excuses himself.
Charles continues to do well with the food lady, and she asks if he’s single. He says yes, and
they make out in the closet. Gina, meanwhile, is stunning a collections of psychologists and
Rosa can stand quietly alone as she would prefer. Amy attempts to connect with Holt over the
things she noticed in his house but as usually cannot bond with him. She decides she needs to
go deeper.
Terry notices Amy and Jake sneak upstairs, which has been marked off. He finds them rifling
through Holt’s bedroom. They hear Holt coming, and hide in the bathroom.
Holt takes Kevin to task for being snobby and rude to his guests. In the bathroom, they find
Holt’s dog, which begins to set off Amy’s terrible allergies as Holt is telling Kevin that he likes his
guests. He finds them.
They get kicked out. At work, Amy and Jake mourn their failure. Amy notes Kevin is probably
just sick of hearing cop stories, and Jake rushes to Columbia. He has solved the case of why
Kevin hates cop talk. He hates cops. Kevin agrees that Holt has been put through hell for being
gay by all the police they’ve known. Jake wants to make it up to them.
They bring Holt to a restaurant and sit him down with Kevin, making a perfect dinner for him.

son (Brian Jensen), Felipe Alejandro (Hector), Leslie Simms (Gloria)
Summary: Boyle’s tendency to go way overboard and become extremely clingy
with his love interests (which Peralta calls ”Full Boyle”) has him call-
ing on Jake to act as a buffer on his next date with Vivian. Little does
he know that Vivian is about to go Full Boyle on him. Sargeant Jef-
fords pulls a drug case from Rosa and Amy and gives it to Scully and
Hitchcock, because the ladies chose to dismiss a geeky, wannabe su-
perhero named Super Dan who nonetheless had useful information.
Meanwhile, Holt faces a challenge for his position as president of a
gay/lesbian cop organization that he started 25 years ago.
Charles is strangely happy and confident,

now that he’s dating someone. He even
takes over briefing for a case - a cab driver
picks up tourists and robs them at gun
point. He and Jake will go undercover
and try to get picked up.
Gina brings in an officer to meet Holt.
He attends Holt’s organization (black gay
and lesbians in the police force), and he
is planning to run against Holt for pres-
ident. Holt decides he needs to be de-
stroyed.
Charles tells Jake that he’s planning
a big night for Vivian. Jake reminds him
he gets too intense too fast and gets
dumped. He decides to help him out. He makes Charles call her up and push back their date
one day... but he can’t do it. Charles begins to run on about how he loves her, going ”Full Boyle.”
Luckily Jake hung up.
A man in a homemade super hero costume comes in to report a crime. He calls himself Super
Dan. Rosa and Amy get away from him. As punishment, Terry reassigns one of the cases they
have been working on.
Jake and Charles prepare to go undercover. Jake has Charles’ phone and won’t let him have
it back. Charles says he was in love with Rosa so long, that now all these tamped down feelings
are all over the place. They go get cab rides to try and find the criminal. Jake preps Charles on
35
what he can and cannot discuss on his date. Later, they meet Vivian and her friend for Jake,
who is surprisingly attractive.
Gina gets information on Brian, the man running against Holt and they work out a game
plan. Gina wants to dazzle it up with dancing, but Holt wants to stick to a dry speech.
On the date, Jake is increasingly distracted by how much he likes the girl he has been set
up with. He is losing hold of keeping Charles constrained. Charles panics and leaves, with Jake
to make an excuse. Jake lies and starts to hustle the girls out, but finds Charles, who has now
bought an engagement ring. Jake grabs it and there’s a showdown, ending in both getting pepper
sprayed.
Gina and Holt listen to Brian’s speech, and Gina notes he has good points and could bring
a lot to the organization Holt built. Holt goes up and withdraws his name from consideration,
giving Brian the presidency.
Rosa and Amy bring in Super Dan and take a statement from him regarding a drug dealer he
saw. It cements the arrest they made and Amy admits they were wrong.
Jake and Charles discuss what to do about Vivian, and find their cab driver. They bring him
in.
Jake brings Charles into the interrogation room, which is set up in a romantic fashion. He
admits he checked Charles’ phone and found that Vivian is just as obsessive as Charles is. He
gives Charles the engagement ring back.
He proposes to Vivian, who says yes.

him he did, and that Peralta did a good
job. Jake says ”Thanks, Dad.”
Everyone hears it except him, appar-
ently. He insists he said ”man,” and gets
upset about it, although Holt sees it as a
compliment.
At briefing, Holt tells everyone to com-
plete their self-evaluations, and to stay
out of the way of the weekend squad.
Jake goes in for his evaluation, ex-
plains he is doing well, and asks to bor-
row money to buy his apartment. His
apartment, once his nana’s, is going co-
op and he has to secure it by the end of the day. The bank laughed in his face. Gina, who grew
up with Jake, feels his pain, even though Holt won’t lend him the money. She wants to go with
him to figure out how he can save the apartment they played in as children.
The weekend crew comes in to take over everyone’s desk. Rosa hates her desk buddy, who
shaves there.
Gina and Jake hang out at the apartment and try to come up with a way to save it. Gina goes
through his bank statements and tells Jake he is bankrupt.
Jake mourns that his building has sprung this whole situation on him, and wonders if maybe
he missed a letter. He goes to check the bathtub, where he throws all his mail and is brimming
37
with letters, but can’t seem to locate it. He decides his only option is to go speak with a loan
shark he knows.
Amy goes in for her evaluation, kissing butt as always, and Holt asks her what she thinks her
biggest flaw is. She’s thrown.
Charles and Rosa catch her desk buddy shaving. Boyle decides they need to teach him a
lesson. They fill his locker with shaving cream and a bag of hair.
Gina and Jake go to the loan shark, who won’t give Jake the full amount, but gives him
$20,000 as a downpayment. Gina tries to talk Jake out of signing but is not successful.
Jake brings the money, but is too late. He needs to be out by Friday. Gina offers to help him
look for a new place, but can’t find anything fitting.
Amy, having given considerable thought to her flaws, goes back to Holt with a list. It doesn’t
seem to be what Holt is looking for, and Amy runs off to try again.
Charles and Rosa go to her desk buddy to find out when he will go to his locker, and he begins
to talk about his major marital issues and tragic life. They feel terrible. They go to the locker to
try to clean it out, but are found by Holt and Terry who yell at them.
Jake enjoys his last few moments in the apartment, but Gina has an idea. She offers to buy
the place and then rent it to him. Jake is actually horrified by the idea and kicks her out. He
talks to Amy about it and realizes that Gina is only trying to help.
Charles and Rosa get the locker cleaned up, and she invites him out for a drink. He has plans
with his fiancee, but apologizes for not being fun since he had been in love with Rosa. Rosa
admits he’s fun to hang out with now that he’s in love with someone else.
Terry goes to yell at Holt for being too hard on his team. Holt admits that Terry is a good
leader and that his team has improved.
Jake goes to apologize to Gina for taking it out on her that she is more responsible than him.
He has an idea — he suggests Gina take Nana’s apartment, and he can sublease Gina’s. She’ll
have a nicer place and make a profit.
After speaking to Jake, Amy has realized that her biggest flaw is caring too much what Holt
thinks of her. She goes to tell him this.

Summary: Boyle makes Peralta his best man, which means cake tasting, picking
stationery, and helping Charles not move to Canada. Meanwhile Gina,
Amy, and the Sergeant attempt a team diet plan, and Holt makes Rosa
apologize to a patrol officer who she humiliated.
Charles has asked Jake to be his best

man. The two go off to participate in wed-
ding planning.

humiliated an officer in front of his peers
and he filed a complaint. If she apolo-
gizes, he will drop it.
Terry, Amy, and Gina are participat-
ing in an extremely strict diet plan. Gina

him.
The next day at lunch, Charles admits he hasn’t talked to Vivian yet, who joins them. He
wants Jake to talk to her for him.
Amy and Gina tell Terry he needs to stop the extreme diet and eat. He insists he is fine and
strong, and lifts a car. However, the diet has messed up his system, and can’t stop farting.
Jake broaches the idea of Canada with Vivian, but Charles panics, and stands with Vivian.
Jake gives up being his best man.
Holt tells Rosa that helping people see their mistakes rather than insulting them is the better
way to do things. Rosa goes and honestly apologizes. She offers to show him how to fix the
mistake he made.

papers until he tells Vivian how he feels. He brings him to Vivian. Charles does talk to her, for
hours, and says they have a lot to still work out, but she didn’t dump him.
Terry admits that he is doing the diet because his wife is, and he hasn’t been there to support

Michael Lee (Abel), Jack Harding (Frank), Peter A. Hulne (Nate Bor-
gio), Ingo Neuhaus (Alfonso), William Watterson (Sinister Con), Timo-
thy Paul Perez (Tattooed Con), Big Spence (Muscular Con)
Summary: When Jake is allowed the weekend off because of a hot streak in solv-
ing cases, he decides to take on a 8-year old cold case that everyone
believes is unsolvable. With the help of Sgt. Terry, the two try to crack
the case once and for all. Meanwhile, Amy plans a romantic trip with
new boyfriend Teddy, but a unexpected event with Captain Holt turns
the tables and Gina and Rosa let Charles in on one of the best-kept
secrets of the precinct.
Captain Holt sprained his wrist but won’t

tell anyone how. Jake speculates. Holt
tells everyone he tripped on a sidewalk
— and then reveals to Jake that he hurt
himself at a Hula Hoop class. No one will
believe him.
Jake comes in with another arrest, a
new record. Holt tells him to take the
weekend off.
Amy walks by with a large bag, and
she tells Jake she’s going on a romatic
getaway with her man Teddy. However
Gina reminds her that she volunteered
to help Holt with a community outreach
program.
Rosa finds Charles talking to Vivian on the phone, hidden in the storage room. They still
haven’t worked out whether or not they’re moving to Canada.
Rather than taking the weekend off, Jake has now decided he wants to work all weekend, on
an unsolvable case from eight years ago. A man was murdered in a boat explosion, and the case
was never solved. Jake convinces Terry to help him.
Rosa tells Gina they need to let Charles know about ”Babylon,” a secret place where Charles
can speak to Vivian. They take him to the basement and show him their secret bathroom, which
has great cell service. They make him promise not to tell anyone about their secret spot.
43
Amy goes to speak with Holt about the weekend, and tells him she’ll be unable to help out.
She panics and lies about a dental emergency. His brother-in-law of course is a dental surgeon,
and calls in a favor. Amy is trapped in her lie.
Terry and Jake go to the prison to interrogate the suspects from the case, and speak with
someone who was shanked. They offer him a better cell for information, and get their first break
in the case in eight years.
Hitchcock and Scully confront Charles and demand to know where the secret bathroom is.
Terry and Jake put one of the suspect’s wives under the lie detector. She passes when she
says she hasn’t seen her husband in eight years but she knows he didn’t kill the victim. Jake
insists on taking the polygraph to see if it’s working correctly.
Amy goes to her dental exam and finally confesses that she lied to Holt.
Gina finds Scully and Hitchcock ruining their nice bathroom. Gina declares she will have her
vengeance. Finally, she negotiates with the men to keep them out of bathroom.
The next morning Terry finds a sleep-deprived Jake, who thinks he is onto something. He
brings Terry to the interogation room, where the ”victim,” Nate Dexter, is alive and well. Jake
realized that the wife was not lying about certain things... but he hadn’t been asking the right
questions. They murdered her husband and made the body look like Nate Dexter.
At the bar, Amy and Teddy congratulate Jake for solving the unsolvable case. Amy apologizes
to Holt, and gets the next weekend off to go to the cabin with Teddy.
Terry tells Jake he needs to deal with whatever is bothering him, rather than solving cases.
Terry realizes Jake has feelings for Amy.

(Isaac), Ian Roberts (Lucas Wint), Stella Angelova (Dancer With
Holt), Edward Finlay (George), Exie Booker (Murray), Alton Clemente
(Johnny Ianucci), Judith Scarpone (Judge Mindel), Denell Johnson
(Allen - Tough Guy), Benjamin Steinberg (Young Jake), Chris Flan-
ders (Emcee - Gilbert), Adam Lieberman (Agent Nathan Clarke), Tiffany
Martin (Jenny Gildenhorn), Amy Okuda (Chiaki)
Summary: Jake’s investigation of philanthropic civic leader Lucas Wint is shut
down by Commissioner Podolski, resulting in a likely suspension for
Jake. Still determined to crack the case, Jake enlists Amy and a reluc-
tant Captain Holt to help him uncover more evidence, but Holt uncov-
ers a larger conspiracy that will require a greater sacrifice from Jake in
order to solve the case. Meanwhile, Charles is devastated over break-
ing up with Vivian, and Rosa and Gina know just how to cheer him
up.
Jake is wandering a bar, wasted. He tells

a customer he was just fired from the
NYPD.
One week earlier. Charles comes into
work, dressed like Neo. He tells everyone
he and Vivian broke up.
Commissioner Podolsky takes Jake
aside and tells him to stop harrassing an
important man named Wint, who Jake
suspects is a participant in a drug ring.
Holt tells him to drop his suspicions.
Gina thinks Charles needs some
break-up nookie. Rosa is determined to
cheer him up (in another way). Jake, in
a car with Amy, gets a text from Charles,
and the two discuss break-ups. She says she never hopes to go through another one. Amy real-
izes they are staking out Wint, and they get caught. Holt reprimands Jake, but Amy stands up
for him. Holt puts Jake on administrative leave.
Jake brings in a drug pusher who has evidence of money laundering he thinks is tied to Wint.
Jake asks Holt to support him, and he agrees. They prepare for Jake’s hearing.
45
Rosa tries to help Charles by having him burn Vivian’s things, but Charles just burns himself.
Terry tries to get him to break plates but he hits himself in the balls with a plate.
Jake, Holt, and Amy stake out the charitable location where they think the drug laundering is
going on, and note a ballroom competition is going on. They hit the thrift store for outfits. They’re
cutting it close with time, since Peralta has to be at his hearing.
Terry, Charles, and Gina go to the trial and try to stall as much as possible.
Jake and Amy dance (she’s terrible) as they stake out a door they need to get upstairs. Jake
shows Amy how to actually dance. She distracts the guard by pretending to hurt her ankle and
Jake runs upstairs to take pictures of the account books. He goes off to present the evidence,
but Holt asks him to do something that will sound strange.
Jake goes to his trial. He says he has no evidence on his behalf. Jake gets rowdy and gets
fired.
Holt explains that the FBI has been after Wint, and they needed to fire Jake for real so he
could go undercover. It’s a 6-month assignment. He pretends to storm out. As he gets his stuff
and loads it up, he talks to Amy. He tells her he would like something to happen between them.
He leaves before she can say anything.
After a night of drinking, Charles wakes up next to Gina.

Season Two
Undercover
Season 2
Episode Number: 23
Season Episode: 1
Originally aired: Sunday September 28, 2014

Ray Holt), Joel McKinnon Miller (Scully), Dirk Blocker (Hitchcock)
Guest Stars: Jenny Slate (Bianca), Derick Alexander (Airport Official), Ray Campbell
(Special Agent Marx), Amato D’Apolito (Mafia Thug #1), Nick DeMauro
(Tony), Sari Lennick (Bev), Paul Mabon (Officer Lou), Joe Sabatino
(Benny), Dominic Paolo Testa (Mafia Thug #2), Mark DeSalvo (Wed-
ding Guest)
Summary: Jake’s undercover FBI operation ends in a successful sting, until he
learns one mobster has gotten away. As Jake enlists Charles’ help to
track him down, Holt tests the squad’s patience with practice drills.
The episode begins with highlights from

Jake’s time undercover, according to him:
”fixed a boxing match, smoked a whole
cigar without vomiting, was once in a
room with 12 guys named Sal, and
missed you all so very much.”
After ingratiating himself to the mob
through some key use of Billy Joel
karaoke, Jake’s rocking the slicked hair
and Fredo-kissing all the old men (though
Vito’s the best kisser). He knocks off a po-
lice sweep at a wedding, nabbing a bunch
of high-level perps, and returning to the
loving arms of Captain Holt—someone
please make a gif of Andre Braugher’s
deadpan hug face—and the even more loving arms of Charles Boyle. Though, Charles is more
than little jealous of Jake’s mafia buddy, Derrick.
So when Jake hears that Freddie, one of the mobsters, has gotten away, he jumps back into
the operation, bringing Boyle along to play the part of the jilted ex-buddy cop. The easy Andy
Samberg-Joe Lo Truglio chemistry is enough to make ”Undercover” feel like a happy return to
Nine-Nine’s strengths, but the real selling point comes with Jenny Slate’s turn as Freddie’s jilted
mistress Bianca.
”Are you Jakey lady hands, or Jakey the jew?” Bianca asks in a drawl that’s somewhere
between Tina Tina Cheneuse and Mona Lisa Saperstein. Before long, she’s threatening Jake
(confirmed: lady hands) with a gun, being taken down by Boyle—who rushes to the rescue—and
then spilling the beans on Freddie, who’s also sleeping with her younger sister, Valerie.
Jake and Boyle rush off to the Teterboro airport, leaving Bianca in the land of underutilized
minor characters. When they get there, Freddie’s already left for Barbados, which leaves Jake
itching over the mobster who got away and Boyle wondering if he can use his dopey sun hat.
49
The case of the romantic and sexual cliffhangers: As Nine-Nine’s way too on the nose camera
points out during Jake’s conversation with Captain Holt, he’s not really worried about Freddie.
He’s doesn’t like being told that (ZOOM ON: Amy shuffling through files in the background),
”some things are just out of control.” Season 1, after all, ended with Jake admitting to Amy that
he had feelings for her.
”Undercover” continues to dodge the typical romantic arc, where we’d expect a few more
sparks in the reunion. Season 2 begins with Amy telling Jake she’s still with Teddy. Jake covers
his tracks and tries to play his confession off as pre-undercover jitters, but after chasing Freddie,
he’s back to telling Amy he’s got some romantic feelings for her. ”As long as we’re clear that I’m
with someone,” Amy responds, and Melissa Fumero sells the rare TV rejection that feels like an
honest attempt to be friends. ”Nothing’s going to happen.”
In other news, Boyle and Gina are caught in a sexual Groundhog Day. Okay, we don’t realize
that until the end of the episode, where the two wake up in bed, screaming, just as they did
in the first season finale. Until then, it’s all about not letting anyone know about their tryst.
Gina wants to maintain her standard of ”bike messengers and above.” Boyle can’t be known as
the office slut. But just as Boyle can’t tell a lie, the two can’t avoid jumping back in bed. Their
sputtering sexual fireworks play great counterpoint to Jake and Amy’s slow-burn friendship. But
mostly, can we see Chelsea Peretti wear more naked mole rat clothing?
The case of the too-good supporting cast: Highlights from Jake’s time undercover, according
to Diaz: Terry chipped a tooth, Amy and Boyle showed up in the same outfit (which weirdly does
look better on Boyle), and Gina once zoned out on her headphones in the middle of a brawl.
Like Parks and Recreation, Brooklyn Nine-Nine suffers from a supporting cast so strong, it’s
hard for its B-plots not to pull attention. This week, Terry got to be a confused old woman,
an unattended backpack, an angry prostitute, and a 7-year-old boy as scripted by Captain Holt
(roles ranked in order of believability), while Diaz was relegated to playing with him in her generic
deadpan. Amy built a stunning Lego castle and was nearly buried in a bounce house. Hitchcock
and Scully briefly chatted with Gina, who’s now a perspective member of their massage chain.
The plot itself circles around Captain Holt’s new obsession with running drills, which stems
from the news that the NYPD has appointed a new commissioner. He doesn’t know what’s going
on at headquarters, he tells Terry, and the Nine-Nine are going to be under a lot more scrutiny.
Terry convinces Holt to let everyone know about the changes, and the captain thanks him, ”you
helped me find my smile.” Andre Braugher, never stop.
Like all of life, ”Undercover” could’ve used more Stephanie Beatriz, and it’s a pity that Amy
was mostly defined by her (lack of) relationship to Jake. But Nine-Nine proved, once again, that
it has more potential than it can manage to use each week.
Other investigations:
• The case of Joe Uterus: Killed a bunch of stray dogs.
• The case of how to spell the word ”awesome”: Jake thinks it’s with an O.
• The case of what Boyle’s been fermenting in his desk: ”Beans?” ”Beans.”
• The case of Terry, the confused old lady: She confessed to a 40-year-old murder in Rhode
Island.
• The case of when Kyra Sedgwick will show up: She is Holt’s nemesis, so it better be soon.

Chocolate Milk
Season 2
Episode Number: 24
Season Episode: 2
Originally aired: Sunday October 5, 2014

Director: Fred Goss
Guest Stars: Kyra Sedgwick (Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch), Moshe Kasher (Dun-
can Traub), Jerry Lambert (Dr. Martins), Brent Morin (Gregory
Phillips), Rebecca Berman (Fran), Emily Spivey (Dr. Gertrude Mindel),
Carlos Antonio (Ernesto), Stacey Bender (Detective), Peter Janov (Uni-
formed Cop)
Summary: Holt is taken by surprise when his longtime nemesis, Deputy Chief
Madeline Wuntch arrives for an inspection of his precinct. Mean-
while, Jake and Terry test the boundaries of ”work friends” vs. ”friend
friends” as they investigate a stabbing at a hipster chocolate milk bar.
Deputy Chief Wuntch arrives as part

of the complete reorganization, sparked
by the appointment of a NYPD commis-
sioner. Every precinct’s getting an eval-
uation, and Wuntch has been assigned
to the Nine-Nine. Amy freaks out at the
possibility Wuntch will give the Nine-
Nine a bad grade, meaning Holt will be
reassigned (she also hates getting bad
grades). But Holt’s more interested in
sparring with an old rival. Both dramatic
actors by training, the two clearly revel
in comedic free, sharing an almost elec-
tric glee when Sedgwick gets to accost
Braugher for trying to sweet talk her, and
he responds with a snap and ”I gave it my best shot.”
Of course, as Holt reveals to Amy in a delightfully retro flashback, the two have a storied
history. She had promised to write him a letter of recommendation, and on the night before the
due date, Wuntch showed up at his doorway. Holt had planned to come out to her. She had
planned on sex. The result? ”She sabotaged my career because I refused to BED her,” Holt says,
eyes popping. Amy stares at the camera in terror. She takes it upon herself to resolve Wuntch
and Holt’s relationship and to save the precinct’s grade.
To its credit, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has always avoided convention when it comes to Captain
Holt’s sexual history, so it came as no surprise when (surprise!) it turned out that Wuntch
wasn’t really in it for the sex. ”Your sexual identity is the one thing I respect about you,” she tells
him when Amy reveals that her recommendation was, in fact, glowing. And that’s a line I was so
happy to hear on prime time TV, right before the onslaught of Family Guy.
Anyway, it turns out that, between a run-in with Derek Jeter and a whole host of other
encounters, Wuntch and Holt never really saw eye-to-eye. He tries to cajole her. She rebuffs
51
him. ”I’m not a man of unlimited cajoling,” Holt admits. But Amy, dreading a bad grade and the
possibility of losing her captain, turns the tables on Holt and demands he grovel. So, to the tune
of sexy background music, Captain Holt admits to Wuntch that the Derek Jeter incident was on
him and begs for her to take pity. The precinct gets a mediocre grade, but passes.
The case of the tube tying: Not to go for cheap puns, but this plot wasn’t as potent as it
could have been. Part of that comes from Nine-Nine’s attempt to run two stories at once: Terry’s
vasectomy, and Jake and Terry’s investigation into a stabbing at the haute-hipster DRK MLK
(pronounced ”dark milk”).
Terry’s first attempt at a vasectomy (there wasn’t enough anesthetic to knock him out) pro-
vides its mass of sperm jokes and reveals his drugged thoughts on Captain Holt, ”he needs to
smoke some weed.” Still, it doesn’t reveal much about Jake and Terry’s relationship. Terry thinks
of Jake as a work friend, Jake thinks of himself as any kind of friend—from Rachel to Phoebe
to ”the dinosaur guy.” But by the end of the episode, they realize they might be friend friends.
Given the way Terry Crews brings darkness and even pain to his portrayal of the Sarge, having
such a simple, even superficial, story (sober Terry wants to tie his tubes, drugged Terry doesn’t;
we switch between the two, until end of episode Terry decides he has to talk it over with his wife)
felt like wasted space.
This is especially true as the other half of Jake and Terry’s case featured Nine-Nine’s first
foray into hipster Brooklyn. The map on the precinct wall covers Park Slope, which is pretty
much stroller and yoga central in real life, but unlike, say, Parks and Rec’s Pawnee or The
Simpsons’s Springfield, Nine-Nine hasn’t developed much a personality for its precinct. So even
if tonight’s trip to a milk bar felt like skimming, it was a good first step: We meet an insufferable
flannel-wearing hipster owner and a douchey yuppie business partner. We’re just a struggling
writer away from an episode of Girls. Nine-Nine doesn’t need to go full Brooklyn, but it’s great
to know that there are quirky people out on its streets, and that Nine-Nine can go back to mine
them for comedy.
The case of the wedding invitation: Boyle needs a plus one for his ex-fiancé’s Jamaican-themed
engagement party. He asks Diaz; she has a date. He asks Gina (via a terrifying pop-up message);
she points out that ”just because we have secret, shameful sex does not mean we are friends.”
She also slaps him for saying ”bone bros.” Boyle gets cornrows in a last-ditch attempt to get a
date. It looks like he’s going to have to wear his Jamaican flag suit all alone. And then Diaz shows
up in a tropical dress. She’s canceled her date and will go to the party with him. The whole story
wants to celebrate Diaz and Boyle’s friendship, but it veers dangerously close to romance. Diaz
hasn’t appeared in enough scenes this season, and it’d be terrible if she had to spend the rest as
the object of Boyle’s affections.
Other open investigations:
• The case of Amy Santiago’s second grade gym class grade (”teachers need breaks, too”)
• The case of Jake’s dad (the couples counselor tells Jake that Terry’s walking out, ”just like
your father did”)
• The case of what Boyle means by ”trunk to skunk” (that whole area was numb after his
vasectomy)

The Jimmy Jab Games

Season 2
Episode Number: 25
Season Episode: 3

Director: Rebecca Asher
Guest Stars: Kyra Sedgwick (Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch), Christopher Michael
(Desk Sergeant Hank), S.E. Perry (Chief Fisker)
Summary: The precinct members play the annual ”Jimmy Jab Games” while
awaiting the arrival of the Serbian president’s motorcade. Elsewhere,
Terry and Capt. Holt take on a drug task force.
Named for King of Iraq (President of

Iran) Armand Jibby Jab (Ahmadinejad),
the Jimmy Jab games appear whenever
the precinct needs to waste time with-
out supervision. In this case, it’s because
they’re waiting to run a motorcade for
the president of Syria. What began as a
simple bagel toss, has grown into a full-
fledged spectacle with rewards, Scully in
a Viking Helmet, and a whole lot of in-
trigue.
Jake, Amy, Diaz, Boyle, Hitchock, and
Scully all enter. In each round, one player
is eliminated. Let’s break down the play-
by-play:
At stake: a Winchester 3000, the one chair in the office with minimal staining, good lumbar
support, and no broken wheels. Also at stake: If Jake beats Diaz, she’ll give him her friend
Katie’s number (Diaz hates mixing work and pleasure); if Diaz wins, Jake has to give her $200
and promise not to ask for one of her friend’s numbers again. The last thing at stake: Amy’s pride
(she always loses).
The Mouthathon
The goal: eat as much month-old Chinese food as you can stomach Highlight: Scully downing
the takeout happily, ”you guys know this is free right?”
Eliminated: Boyle, who ”can’t do this to my mouth, she’s the love of my life,” and Scully, who
gets food poisoning Gina’s starting shout: On your mark, get set, Wahlberg!
The Bulky-Bulk Run Run
The goal: race around the building in bomb suits
Highlight: Jake attempting to trash talk Diaz while simultaneously proving he’ll be respectful to
her friend—he has to loosen up his flower-buying fingers, ”I’m going to go nuts on the daisies”
Eliminated: Hitchcock, who goes down with the cry ”I’m doing it, Charles! I look cool.”
Gina’s starting shout: On you mark, get set, Ruffalo!
53
Keep Your Cover

The goal: talk to as many people as possible without them realizing you’re a cop
Highlight: Amy accidentally moves her fake baby bump: ”My baby! It’s on the side!”
Eliminated: Diaz, whose blonde wig and sunglasses hide her, but whose hatred of being called
”sweetheart” makes her break cover
Gina’s starting shout: On your mark, get set, Paul Gosselaar!
(Note: After Diaz is eliminated here, she and Jake change their bet. She gives him a chance to
call it off, because she knows he’s not over Amy. Instead, they decide on new terms: to get Katie’s
number, and prove he’s over Amy, Jake has to win without flirting with Amy at all.)
The Obstacle Course
The goal: to quote Gina, ”Make it past the barricade hurdles. Then, use a bean bag gun to get
a snack. Eat the snack in its entirety. Next, head down to the first floor where you will locate
a pamphlet about bullying. Then, print out a picture of me using a laptop from 1982. Whoever
grabs their printout first is the winner.” Also, after the printouts, there’s a surprise foam attack.
Highlight: Jake’s attempts not to flirt with Amy, even while she previews some really dumb victory
dances.
Eliminated: Jake, though we later learn he held the elevator door open to let Amy win.
Gina’s starting shout: On your mark, get Seth, Rogen!
Amy wins, and Jake has to pay Diaz $200. But Jake admits to Diaz he let Amy win, and
because Diaz is worried that he’s having trouble getting over Amy, she gives him Katie’s number.
”The only way to move on is to move on, whether you think you’re ready to or not” Diaz says, in
what’s hopefully the beginning of her very own ”Dear Diaz” advice column.
The Case of Victor Emmanuel III: Holt and Terry pair off to try to appeal to Deputy Chief
Wuntch in order to get funding for the precinct to stop the spread of Giggle Pig, a new brand of
ecstasy that’s surfaced. How sad, Wuntch points out, to have an embarrassing blight growing
right under your nose, ”not unlike that mustache you had when we first met.” ”That mustache
was era appropriate,” Holt responds, warping ”era” into a lugubrious two syllables.
Anyway, Holt leaves a typo in his proposal so Wuntch will immediately reject it (”was this
prepared by an immigrant?”) and he can use her wanton disapproval against her to appeal to the
next in command. Wuntch is right behind him, however, arriving at that meeting and questioning
on Holt whether Giggle Pig will do that much damage to the community. ”You’re like the League of
Nations in ’36,” Holt replies, ”just hoping the Abyssinia Crisis resolves itself.” ”That’s the lesson
you draw from the fall of Addis Ababa?” Wuntch rejoins, ”Raymond, you sound so naı̈ve.” ”And
you sound like Victor Emmanuel III.”
For those who are wondering, Victor Emmanuel III lost control of Ethiopia (and also the fascist
party took over the country under his rule). In other words, this is a pretty big burn.
Holt gets himself a task force, a step up from financial support, which he’s pretty happy
about until Wuntch reminds him that, unless they catch a lot of perps, he’ll be the poster boy for
departmental waste. Holt’s pretty worried about losing face to Wuntch, but Terry reminds that
he can use the task force to do good for the community. He also suggests that Holt appoint Diaz
to run it. She’s a great detective, and she’s the only one who speaks the truth to Holt when he
walks into the middle of the Jimmy Jab games: ”It’s stupid, but we like it.” Holt agrees, which
means we’re getting more Diaz screen time in the future. Win.
• The case of Hitchcock’s attempts to be cool: He stumbles into possession of Boyle’s workout
tapes, which would reveal that Boyle’s been sleeping with Gina. Hitchcock tries to get Boyle
to help him be cool in exchange for the tapes, ”I just want to be part of a conversation
where Jake uses my name and nobody insults me,” but keeps increasing his demands.
After saying, in public, that he thinks Hitchcock is handsome, Boyle gives up and fights
Hitchcock for the tape, successfully destroying it.
• The case of Boyle and Gina: still very much a thing, though Gina still gets to say things like,
”It’s daylight, Boyle. Why are we talking?”
• The case of Amy’s ability to do well at things: According to Jake, she’s very good in profes-
sional matters, terrible when everyone’s just doing dumb games.

Halloween II
Season 2
Episode Number: 26
Season Episode: 4

Director: Eric Appel
Guest Stars: Apollo Robbins (Eric ’Fingers’ Martin), Scott Broderick (Police Officer),
Jernard Burks (Impound Supervisor), Kevin Dorff (Hank)
Summary: The Peralta/Holt annual Halloween bet continues when Jake chal-
lenges the Captain that he can steal his watch before midnight. Mean-
while, Gina is upset that her dance team, Floorgasm, kicks her off the
squad and Terry confronts her about her bad attitude.
The episode begins by cribbing last year’s

structure. For those who don’t remember,
last Halloween, Jake and Holt made a bet
that Jake could steal Holt’s Medal of Valor
from his office. Jake did, with the help
of nearly everyone in the precinct. Holt
had to do Jake’s paperwork for a week.
This year, Jake and Holt revive the bet,
this time over Holt’s wristwatch. Jake of-
fers five weeks of free overtime if he can
steal it by midnight. Holt promises to do
Jake’s paperwork for a week if he can’t.
”The benefits outweigh the costs,” Holt
ponders, ”We have reached an accord.”
It’s pretty clear from the get-go that
Jake isn’t going to win the bet (sequels have to have some difference), and at first it looks like
we’re up for some Greek-tragedy-style payback for last year’s hubris. After all, his distraction
includes Scully singing O Fortuna, which basically argues that for every good thing that happens
something terrible also has to happen. Anyway, Jake gets a pickpocket, Fingers, to lift Holt’s
wristwatch and replace it with a fake. When he goes to pick up the watch from Fingers, the thief
has disappeared, and so Jake and Boyle chase him across town.
Jack gives Fingers his shoes to trade for the watch, his car (with the watch inside) is im-
pounded, he loses his wallet and badge, he gets separated from Boyle and has to ride on a party
bus. Replace ”O Fortuna!” with ”ah, shucks!” and you get the point.
So by the time a group of bears is herding Jake onto said party bus, you start hoping some-
thing else is behind Jake’s ordeal. And yes, Captain Holt has been playing him like Franz Bluheim
plays the flute: masterfully. Andre Braugher fizzles with glee as he explains Holt’s revenge plot,
getting all the other members of the precinct to turn against him, putting Fingers in his employ,
even recording Boyle as he talked about a party bus. The watch never left the precinct. It’s on
his wrist, right under the fake one.

• In last year’s Halloween episode, Amy hated Halloween. Has that changed? Is she now on
board with ”Christmas for jerks”?
• Was Terry’s gladiator outfit just a chance to show off Terry Crews’ abs?
• Boyle’s Halloween outfits (and the precinct’s reaction): An kumquat (Ms. Pac-Man’s nipple),
Hamlet (”not to be”), He-Man (Gay Robin Hood)

The Mole
Season 2
Episode Number: 27
Season Episode: 5
Originally aired: Sunday November 2, 2014

Director: Victor Nelli, Jr.
Recurring Role: Kyra Sedgwick ((Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch)
Guest Stars: Marc Evan Jackson (Kevin Cozner), Dan Bakkedahl (Lt. Andrew
Miller), Jasmin Savoy Brown (Ava Watson), Spencer Crittenden (Porto),
Anthony Aria (Raver), Stacey Bender (Detective), Wes Cheers (Gang
Member), Peter Janov (Uniformed Cop), Rick Misisco (Prisoner), Do-
minique Rodriguez (Perp)
Summary: Capt. Holt and Jake try to find a mole in their precinct before Deputy
Chief Madeline Wuntch hears about it. Elsewhere, Terry and Rosa visit
a ”silent” disco to look for leads for their drug task force.
Tonight’s episode begins with the promise

of a mole. There’s someone in the precinct
who’s spilling police secrets and Lieu-
tenant Miller has taken Captain Holt’s of-
fice to run a full-on investigation. Jake
claims that he knows everything about
everyone around him, and that no one
can possibly be the mole. Holt, and
Brooklyn Nine-Nine, know better. Every-
one has secrets.
But Holt’s line speaks to comedy as
well as police work. Any good sitcom is
built around characters that we, in the
audience, think we understand. The chal-
lenge the writers have is to make those characters interesting every week. What more are they
hiding? What do they know that we don’t? But rather than probing the depths of the human
psyche, comedy can do just as well with the surface—the way people keep their little secrets,
thinking those secrets are actually pretty big. The cops on Brooklyn Nine-Nine catch criminals,
but the show spent this week tripping up its characters. The episode ran on basic sitcom rules
and structures, but it ran on all cylinders, and it was a lot of fun.
The first rule of secrets is that everyone thinks that their own are the most damaging. This
means, when the possibility of discovery looms, most people look out for themselves. After a
meeting with the germaphobe Internal Affairs investigator Lieutenant Miller (not the best subject
for jokes about ”internal affairs”), Jake realizes he’s been storing case files in his apartment.
Worried that he’ll named as the mole, he enlists Amy to help him return the files without being
caught.
But Jake’s secret isn’t as bad as Gina and Boyle’s. Jake realizes he left some files at Gina’s
apartment, and their childhood home. Thinking the loud music in the apartment is just Gina’s
57
dance group rehearsal (”Dancy Reagan, the first ladies of movement”), Jake and Amy break in to
discover Gina and Boyle engaged in pretty intense movement. Cue shocked faces, screams. Cut
to commercial.
The second rule of secrets is that when they get out, you tend to lose control. Gina and Boyle
reveal they’ve been ”casual lovers” (or, as Boyle puts it, in orgasm city). They’ve been lying to
everyone, hiding their trysts. Jake’s furious his friend betrayed him. Boyle tries to prove that
he’s just the same: ”I’m still Charles. I just have four extra sex moves. Five! I forgot boy on top.”
Corollary to the second rule of secrets: Don’t try to fight it when they get out, that just leads
to more confusion. Gina plans forward for her and Boyle: first termination. Then containment.
Boyle will beg Jake not to tell anyone. Gina will take care of Amy—”but how to make it look like
an accident?” she muses. Eventually, she decides on a better plan, trying to befriend Amy and
get her to reveal her own secrets. Gina’s not great at it. Afterward, Amy reveals that she knows
Gina was trying to get dirt on her. And the only secret we get about Amy is that her relationship
with Teddy isn’t going great. He has weird mesh-lined underwear, and Amy doesn’t know what
to say about it.
While Gina and Boyle are spiraling out of control, Holt finds himself similarly lost in the world.
In this case, it’s because Lieutenant Miller has taken over his office. Wuntch is back, and she’s
making fun of him for having lost control of his precinct. Oh, and Diaz and Terry’s task force has
yet to discover any major Giggle Pig dealers. To quote Holt, in conversation with Hitchock and
Scully: ”I am buffeted by the winds of my foe’s enmity, and cast about the towering waves of cruel
fate. Yet I, a captain, am no longer able to command my vessel, my precinct, from my customary
helm, my office. And you ask, is everything okay?” Wuntch is right. Poetry is his calling.
Meanwhile, Jake’s attempt at covering up his secret has started to spiral out as well. Miller
catches him as he’s returning the files to the precinct and tells him that he’ll be put on suspen-
sion. Jake shows up at Holt’s house to beg for help—well, first he has to deal with Holt’s husband
Kevin, who asks him to take off his shoes; ”neither of us want that,” Jake replies. Holt and Jake
spend the night in bathrobes trying to deduce the identity of the mole (and playing with Holt’s
corgi!). Having worked through all of the other options, Holt accuses Jake. Jake accuses Holt in
return. Holt kicks Jake out.
The fourth rule of secret: They always have a way of getting out (call it the Scandal rule). The
next morning, Jake tells Holt he’s figured out who the mole is—it’s Lieutenant Miller. Wuntch
has gotten him to come in and pretend to shake up the precinct. Jake plans a sting operation.
He gives Miller a USB containing secrets about Holt. Back in her office, Wuntch and Miller watch
the video. ”And the big secret about Captain Holt is...” Jake says on the video. ”THAT I HAVE
A FLAIR FOR THE DRAMATIC,” Holt appears onscreen and finishes. Suddenly, Jake and Holt
show up in person. They’ve gotten Wuntch and Miller on tape. Holt demands that she leave him
and his precinct alone. ”Or else, you’re Wuntch meat,” Holt says. He may be a poet, but puns
aren’t his forte.
The fifth, and most important, rule of secrets, however, is that they don’t usually matter—at
least not to everyone else. You might think your own flaw is deeply embarrassing, and worry that
it will ruin your reputation, but it doesn’t matter that much. Gina learns this by the end of the
episode. She decides she has to ”Olivia Pope this sitch.” She gets up on her desk and reveals
that she and Boyle had sex 16 and 1/3 times—”Don’t ask. Can’t explain.” As predicted, no one
in the precinct really cares that much, though Gina does want everyone to know her sexual
history averages higher than Boyle. It even includes an underwear model and a man who looked
like Tywin Lannister, which, good for her I guess? Jake congratulates Boyle on his first casual
relationship (he never asked Gina to get engaged!), and Holt reveals his middle name: It’s Jacob.
• The mole story occupied the A- and B-plots tonight, leaving Diaz’s investigation into Giggle
Pig back in the C-plot.
• Terry projects his anxieties about his twins’ schooling onto a girl who seemed nice at first
(and had gone to the same preschool) and who then turns out to be a Giggle Pig dealer.
• Diaz spends more time looking angry in neon headphones than your average German DJ.
After cracking into the dealer’s calls, the two seem to be onto a big supplier.

Jake and Sophia

Season 2
Episode Number: 28
Season Episode: 6

Writer: Tricia McAlpin & David Phillips
Director: Michael McDonald
Guest Stars: Eva Longoria (Sophia Perez), Stephen Root (Lynn Boyle), Sandra Bern-
hard (Darlene Linetti), Will Hines (Carl Kurm), Perry L. Brown (Judge
Marinovich), Vince Duvall (Sid Wells), Gil Glasgow (Lengarry Len
Ross), Ruben Dario (Marco), Stacey Bender (Detective), Ashley Dulaney
(Katie), Kevin Michael Walsh (Scott)
Summary: Jake’s new romantic interest turns out to be the defense attorney for a
criminal he’s trying to put behind bars. Elsewhere, Gina and Charles
try to move past their relationship.
In this week’s standalone cold open, Amy

Santiago, future union rep and uptight
type-A rule follower, is 70 seconds late for
work. There’s honestly not much to this
brief opener, but it’s fun to see the Cap-
tain get so intensely into one of Jake’s lit-
tle games. And of course he wins. He is,
after all, a brilliant detective.
Speaking of Amy, Jake has had a hard
time moving on from her and dating other
women. Turns out that they’re not really
into his cop stories. Sarge advises him to
talk about something besides work that
he’s interested in, and it turns out for
Jake, that’s hot wings. And it’s the same for Sophia, another singleton in Brooklyn trying to
keep her professional talk to a minimum while dating. Which of course is how a detective and a
defense attorney have a one night stand right before an important court case (about a diamond
heist!). Even though their professional opposition threatens any future they might have together,
Sarge encourages Jake to ask her out again. It’s surprising, in a good way, to see Jake make an
adult decision to put his professional rivalry (pettiness) aside, and ask Sophia if she wants to
spend more time together. I mean, they played Ping-Pong with an avocado pit – it’s clearly worth
giving that relationship a shot. At least for as long as the show has Eva Longoria contracted as
a guest star. Longoria and Samberg have got some pretty fun chemistry together on screen, and
the character of Sophia helps Jake seem a little bit more like an adult. I’m looking forward to
the Jake/Sophia relationship arc, because as everyone knows, hot wings are the second best
foundation on which to build a relationship. (The first being, of course, meatloaf.)
Back at the precinct, there were two fierce battles being waged – Gina/Boyle and Rosa/Amy/Scully.
With Boyle and Gina’s relationship officially over, they exchanged belongings, and realized the
last thing they had to deal with was their nonrefundable hotel getaway. Because in TV world,
59
people are really big into booking nonrefundable ”lovebird” trips. As they each vie for the room
their tricky tactics result in both Nine-Niners pulling overnight shifts, while their respective par-
ents to enjoy the swanky getaway together. It was fun to see Boyle and Gina manipulate each
other so well – it’s clear that even though their relationship was brief, they really know the things
that would make the other’s day. And then use that to trick him/her into relinquishing a fancy
hotel room. Boyle’s clearly gained some self-confidence and moxie from their time as ”poke pals”
(ew, Boyle), as he holds his own against Gina no problem, instead of allowing her to steamroll
him.
Rosa tries to get Amy to run for union rep over Scully, who’s really just into it for the sand-
wiches. (Honestly, I totally understand that.) Although Amy keeps pointing out that she can’t
take the job because she wants to be captain one day, and doesn’t want to ”clash with the
brass,” all the organizational aspects of the position seem right up her alley. Not only that, but
she’s got more than enough poster board at home. So, you know where to turn if you’re in need.
Of course Amy was going to run for the position in the end, even if it does threaten Scully’s best
friendship with her (?!), but the Captain relenting on his non-involvement with union matters
in order to encourage her was really sweet. Sure, her constant brown-nosing is probably a lit-
tle grating, but Holt knows how much she admires him, and he wants what’s best for her, and
the precinct. Which is probably not Scully going to union meetings and eating subs. The Cap-
tain, while working on ignoring the trivialities continually heaped upon him by his employees,
perfected his powerful chair swivel. Congratulations Captain – even Gina’s impressed.

Lockdown
Season 2
Episode Number: 29
Season Episode: 7

Director: Linda Mendoza
Guest Stars: Morgan Walsh (Tanya), Jamal Duff (Zeke), Craig Gellis (Jim), Jeff Lewis
(Lenny), Jonathan Craig Williams (Austin), James Lewis (Dirtbag)
Summary: A confident Jake is left in charge of the precinct when it goes into
lockdown on Thanksgiving night, and while he tries to keep things
positive, uncontrollable forces are transpiring against him.
Terry and Holt leave the precinct for a

Thanksgiving charity event. Jake’s left in
charge. Right before everyone else leaves,
a box of powder falls to the floor and
triggers a biohazard scare. The rest of
the cast, along with 41 civilians and one
mutinous lawyer, are stuck together for
Turkey Day. The substance might just
be baking powder, then the substance
isn’t baking powder and could possibly
be deadly—point is, nobody’s leaving the
precinct until someone learns a lesson. In
this case, it’s Jake Peralta.
Part of the pressure in ”Lockdown”
comes from last season’s ”Thanksgiving,”
which established that Jake hates the holiday because he used to have to spend it alone while
his mom worked. While ”Lockdown” all but forgets that history—Jake says he hates the holiday
because ”the pilgrims were murderers and turkeys taste like napkins”—it does dig into Jake’s
surprisingly deep neurosis, and specifically his irrepressible desire to please everyone. In doing
so, ”Lockdown” manages to put another spin on Andy Samberg’s typically broad performance,
making his eternally upbeat attitude seem manic and even desperate. It’s not a perfect episode
by any means, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for the character.
The episode centers on the conflict between Amy and Jake’s approaches to running the
precinct. Jake wants to appease everyone. Amy thinks a boss should be serious. Where the
moral of most bottle episodes—and, come to think of it, most holiday episodes—is that people
will bond through the sheer force of being stuck together (as Jake might argue), ”Lockdown”
takes the opposite approach. The people locked in the precinct aren’t, as Jake wants to believe,
”a happy group of unlikely friends.” They’re perps, snitches, suspects, disgruntled ordinary peo-
ple, and, worst of all, lawyers. They’re not about to put up with Jake’s attempts to hide the truth
about the possibly toxic powder. They want food, heat, and most importantly, to go home.
Jake tries to address the civilians’ concerns, putting on a talent show that includes Boyle’s
performance of the ”Single Ladies” dance, using all the food from the two delivery boys locked
61
in the precinct to host a Thanksgiving feast, and giving out confiscated knockoff designer coats
to keep everyone warm (”I wasn’t able to find any heat because it’s more of a concept”). But
nobody has time for quirky, but lovable antics from their police force. When Jake admits to one
lawyer (Jeff Lewis, who some might recognize from The Guild) that the powder could be toxic,
everything starts to fall apart. The lawyer rallies everyone against the cops, revealing the truth
about the powder, and demanding freedom. Everyone starts shouting. Someone sets Hitchcock’s
snack couch on fire.
Here, finally, Jake learns to take a more serious approach. Well, first he tries to pass off
control to Amy, but she tells him he has to learn to stop playing nice cop (not literally, Brooklyn
Nine-Nine’s above that bad of a pun). But with her encouragement, Jake finally admits that
he’s the captain now—and also realizes that’s a Captain Phillips reference. He reorganizes the
other members of the precinct, intimidates the civilians into obeying him, and has Boyle look
for evidence on the origin of the powder. By the time Holt arrives, Jake has managed to put
everything back in working order and solve the mystery of the powder: It was sent by an angry
former IT guy and it was some random thing that Jake can’t pronounce, but at least isn’t toxic.
While Jake discovers that managing a police station isn’t the same as running a summer
camp, the rest of the cast spun through several minor life lessons. Gina freaked out about the
possibility of dying and wrote up her will. Diaz made fun of Gina and did nothing to calm her
down: ”with anthrax, the last things you’ll see will be: doctor, blood, doctor, puss, scab, nothing.”
Boyle tried to be Jake’s second-in-command (or as he would put it, his Tinker Bell) and celebrated
when Jake lifted the precinct-wide ban on letting him say ”succulent.” Hitchcock got locked on
the balcony, and Scully tried to get people to pay attention to his plight. These weren’t as much
plots as vignettes. The best bottle episodes manage to weave everything together, and here the
conclusion comes abruptly: As soon as Jake turns on the authority, everyone drops their petty
feuds. Too bad, a fuller dive into Gina’s living will would have made for a great tag.
In life outside the precinct, Holt and Terry monitor the situation from Terry’s house, or as
his brother-in-law Zeke calls it ”Tiny Terry’s Hobbit Hole.” Zeke’s gigantic (seriously, how did
the casting directors find someone that large?), and Terry’s terrified of his bullying ways, but he
eventually buys Zeke’s friendship by pretending that Holt’s a terrible boss and therefore earning
some sympathy. Meanwhile, Holt provides Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s requisite, and typically on-point,
amount of Andre Braugher being silly. In this episode, he tries to decode the emojis in Jake’s texts
without having downloaded emojis on his own phone (”and then another box with a question
mark... ”) and bounces on Terry’s core-strengthening fitness ball. This plot, too, ends without
major incident. When Terry reveals that he’s been telling Zeke that Holt’s a terrible boss, Holt
happily plays along, and even agrees to make it seem as if he ate an entire pie: ”Fine. Crumb
me up.” Braugher and Crews prove, once again, that they can make pretty much anything into
comedy.
• Amy’s boyfriend Teddy is becoming more insufferably hipster by the episode. This week, she
reveals that she planned to take Thanksgiving off because he’s bottling his pilsner.
• Jake’s two options for entertainment are a surveillance video of Amy soliciting drugs with
perfect grammar (”It’s not weird to say, ’May I have some cocaine?’” she argues) and a boot-
leg copy of Something’s Gotta Give, which Diaz loves. Does Diaz have a thing for romantic
comedies? Is she a big fan of Diane Keaton? Clearly, Brooklyn Nine-Nine needs to spend
more time exploring her favorite movies. First question: Does she prefer Godfather Keaton
or Annie Hall Keaton?
• Boyle insists on calling Thanksgiving ”Turkey Day” in another callback to last year’s ”Thanks-
giving,” where Turkey Day was an item on Boyle bingo. It’s also a reminder of a time when
Nine-Nine made Boyle play really broad, like butt-of-almost-every joke broad. Maybe it’s the
”Single Ladies” dance, or maybe it’s his relationship with Gina, but Boyle’s gotten a little
more dignity.

USPIS
Season 2
Episode Number: 30
Season Episode: 8

Writer: Brian Reich
Director: Ken Whittingham
Guest Stars: Ed Helms (Jack Danger), Troy Vincent (Vic Turring), Rick Williamson
(Drug Dealer)
Summary: The hunt for a drug dealer forces Jake and Charles to reluctantly team
up with a geeky investigator from the U.S. Postal Service. Meanwhile,
Amy tries to quit smoking with help from her colleagues.
Everyone missed Scully’s birthday. They

decide to throw in some cash, not realiz-
ing it was a plot thought up by Scully and
Hitchcock to get some extra dough.
Rosa does a briefing — a second Gig-
glepig dealer has been brought in. Both
have had keys with USPS engraved on
them.
Amy is quitting smoking, and it’s mak-
ing her exceptionally irritable (or ”terri-
fying” according to Terry). Terry offers to
help her beat her cravings the same way
he beat his overeating in the past — re-
booting. He has her dunk her head in ice
water.
Jake and Charles go to the Postal Inspection Service to get some information on the keys.
They are for an old type of mailbox no longer used. They speak with Agent Jack Danger, who
proves way less exciting than his name. Jake is upset when Rosa says they have to continue
working with him on the case. They go to one of the old mailboxes and find sacks of Gigglepig
inside.
They see the dealer holding another bag walking toward them. Danger gets stuck on the
mailbox, and, when Jake goes to chase the dealer, grabs his leg to try to pull himself up. Jake
loses sight of the dealer.
Amy’s reboot hasn’t worked. Holt tells her he used to be addicted to horse betting. He replaced
his bad addiction with a good addiction — exercise. He tells her to join him on a lunchtime jog.
It doesn’t work either.
Jake tries to get Rosa to kick Danger off the case, but she points out there is a postal connec-
tion somewhere in the case. Jake requests a list of the people who collected the keys when the
boxes were phased out, but Danger refuses. He wants to keep eyes on the boxes. When Danger
leaves the room, Jake prints off the list of names.
He and Charles go to check the people out. One of them is the dealer they saw earlier in
the day, and they arrest him. Rosa, however, takes him to task for ignoring her orders and
abandoning Danger. Danger is taking over the case, as USPIS is federal.
63
Gina leads Amy on a guided meditation to help her quit smoking (Gina’s past addiction was
shopping, big shock). It also fails. Holt tells Amy to just stop being such a perfectionist and
stressing herself out, and tries to set an example by speaking incorrect grammar.
Jake goes to apologize to Danger and suck up to him, to try to get the Gigglepig task force
back on track. Danger lets them have the case back and admits he needs help anyway. The dealer
won’t talk to them and his books are in code. Together they realize the numbers (zip codes) stand
for street names. Jake apologizes to Rosa and they raid the drug drop.

The Road Trip

Season 2
Episode Number: 31
Season Episode: 9

Writer: Brigitte Munoz-Liebowitz
Guest Stars: Eva Longoria (Sophia Perez), Kyle Bornheimer (Teddy Wells), James
Greene (Hugh), Kelly Keaton (Melissa), Adam Lamb (Bart Ender), Mar-
iano Mendoza (Perp), Peter Janov (Uniformen Cop)
Summary: In an attempt to add a touch of romance to their work trip, Jake in-
vites his girlfriend, Sophia, as well as Amy’s boyfriend, Teddy, to join
them at a B&B. Meanwhile, Rosa adamantly refuses to admit to Terry
and Gina that she is sick, and Charles is eager to help Holt with his
anniversary breakfast.
Jake and Amy are supposed to go to

an upstate bed-and-breakfast to man-
age a prisoner transfer. Jake has invited
Sophia because he thinks the trip will
be romantic. Jake invites Teddy because
Amy has complained about how Teddy
never does any romantic gestures (that
don’t involve pilsner), and he thinks the
trip will be romantic for them, too. Amy
was planning to break up with Teddy
later this week, and she is not happy to
hear that he’s about to arrive. Now she
doesn’t have time to finish drafting her
break-up speech. Also, she’s not in her
optimal break-up location: a well-lit Ko-
rean restaurant in midtown.
Jake convinces Sophia to help him help Amy. ”You know what would be even more romantic?”
he tells Sophia. ”Hanging out fully clothed with two other people who have fallen out of love.”
The three of them make a game plan for dinner, after which Amy can just pretend to be sick and
escape. But despite the best laid plans, things at dinner devolve from worst-double-date-ever
to here-are-four-people-who-do-not-like-each-other-right-now all before the kindly waitress can
ask, ”we having a good time?” Amy cracks and breaks up with Teddy, but she is so terrible at
improvising that she manages to put the blame on his love of pilsners. Teddy reveals that he
thinks Amy’s hung up on Jake and then leaves in frustration. Sophia realizes that Teddy’s right
and also leaves. Amy and Jake realize they’re alone at the table with just their unresolved sexual
tension to keep them company. They both leave.
After dinner, Jake apologizes to Sophia, who complains that ”all this who likes who stuff is
very high school.” But as Jake tells Amy in a chat in the car the next day, his penitence worked.
Jake and Sophia are still together, which means that he and Amy are still just friends. Of course,
65
that’s won’t stop Jake from making fun of Amy for having liked him—or stop Amy from making
big doe eyes when she looks over at Jake. Then she tries to crash the car to get Jake to stop with
the jokes. The moment’s gone.
In affairs notably less high school, Holt asks Boyle to teach him how to cook because he
wants to make Kevin breakfast for their anniversary. Boyle’s super excited to teach Holt the ways
of gastronomy, but Holt’s not interested in food at all. ”If it were feasible, my diet would consist
entirely of flavorless beige smoothies containing all the nutrients required by the human animal,”
Andre Braugher intones with glee.
Boyle is usually Jake’s sidekick in Jake-and-Holt plots, but here he gets his own time with the
captain. The pairing works. To try a cooking analogy, Joe Lo Truglio’s buttery mania plays well
with Braugher’s flinty wit. We have Boyle’s description of how rotisserie chicken makes him want
to crawl into his mother’s womb (in parody of the best scene in Ratatouille). We get Braugher on
what it feels like to eat a PB&J: ”I want a sandwich. I make a sandwich. I eat... a sandwich.”
The two try to make scrambled eggs. They fight. Holt gives up. Finally, we have the resolution:
After a night of reading Boyle’s blog for the purposes of scoffing, the captain sees meaning in his
lessons. He decides to cook Kevin a croque monsieur in honor of an old anniversary trip to Paris
and gives Boyle a spare, by way of apology. Boyle tries the sandwich. It’s perfect. ”Now I know
how Salieri felt.”
While everyone else is trying to deal with their feelings for other people and/or cook breakfast,
Diaz tries to get a confession from a perp to nail down a possible Giggle Pig lead. Unfortunately,
her terrible cold makes that nearly impossible, even if she claims that ”Diazes don’t get sick.”
Terry and Gina try to intervene, but she ignores them, relying instead on the feel-good high from
an entire bottle of non-drowsy cold medicine.
There isn’t much to this plot—eventually, Terry gets a confession from the perp and Gina
forces a get-well kit on Diaz—but it deserves recognition for sending Diaz zipping across the
precinct floor in a cold medicine-induce haze. Stephanie Beatriz is game for pretty much any-
thing, and her end-of-episode smile (”my immune system is too weak to fight off my smile mus-
cles”) just made me want to watch Diaz get accidentally high again as soon as possible.
• Hitchcock’s first name is Michael. When she’s drugged up, Diaz thinks that’s a great name
and that he’s a great detective.
• What we know about Sophia: She’s a defense attorney, she’s dating Jake, she sends nude
photos and ”doesn’t care about the cloud at all,” her idea of ”pulling out all the stops” is
slapping Jake at the dinner table. Also, she might have a thing for mid-2000s network
dramas.
• What we know about Teddy: ”All he wants to do right now is make and bottle pilsners.”
”That guy is obsessed with yeast.”
• Boyle thinks ”Twink Tucker” is a good name for a longshoreman.

The Pontiac Bandit Returns

Season 2
Episode Number: 32
Season Episode: 10
Originally aired: Sunday December 7, 2014

Writer: Matt O’Brien
Director: Max Winkler
Guest Stars: Craig Robinson (I) (Doug Judy)
Summary: An elusive car thief known as the Pontiac Bandit is locked up, but Holt
offers him a plea deal when Rosa learns he has information about
the drug kingpin Giggle Pig. Meanwhile, Gina and Boyle worry that
their parents are getting too close; and Santiago makes her boss a
Christmas gift despite the fact that he doesn’t want one.
The episode begins with Jake and Rosa

catching Doug in a sting operation. Jake
chases Doug into a Christmas tree lot and
catches him, but manages to set off a
small fire in the process. Later, away from
the groups of terrified children, Jake,
Rosa, and Holt confront the so-called
Pontiac Bandit. Jake insists that noth-
ing’s worth letting the criminal run free,
but when Doug reveals he knows some
details about a Giggle Pig dealer, Holt ne-
gotiates a deal.
Jake and Rosa then spend the night
watching Doug in a 4-star hotel room, per
his bargain with Holt (Doug also gets 15 years off of jail time, but the hotel room quality is the
real sticking point). Jake tries not to let his guard down in Doug’s presence, but is eventually won
over by his fun-loving charm and the cozy feeling of a nice bathrobe. The two bro out while Rosa
watches from the sidelines. She even agrees to call Doug ”big sugar.” She really, really wants a
win for her task force.
The next day, Jake—alias Dante Thunderstone, whose mother died in a lightening strike while
pregnant (it’s kind of like Zeus was his dad)—Doug, and Rosa show up to meet Tito Ruiz, the
Giggle Pig dealer. Tito demands that Doug prove his carjacking credentials, but Jake gets worried
that he’ll use the chance to escape. Instead, Jake pretends he’s the one with the skills, which
means Doug has to whisper instructions on how to break into a car while Tito watches in the
distance. The result is a scene that’s hilarious in its simplicity. Doug describes how to carjack
as if he’s making talking about making moves on a dance floor and French kissing, while Jake’s
(sorry, Dante’s) commentary reveals just how terrible he is at French kissing.
Finally, Jake, Diaz, and Doug arrive at Tito’s headquarters. Just when things seem as if
they’re going well, and Jake gets Tito to admit that he’s the boss, a garbage truck rolls in and
Doug hops in to escape. Jake tries to go after him, but he, rightly, points out that Tito’s the bigger
target. Jake gives up and goes after the drug dealer, but his garbled version of the Miranda rights
proves that the Pontiac Bandit’s still the criminal on his mind.
67
It’s a simple enough A-plot, with an ending that’s just as predictable as ”Halloween II,” but
there’s something electric in Andy Samberg and Craig Robinson’s chemistry. Jake Peralta might
seem like an overgrown man-child, but he’s surrounded by people who have little patience for his
schemes. Doug’s openness—about everything from his own schemes to Jake’s father issues—is
therapeutic. He has the same magic effect on Rosa, who loosens up just enough to joke around
with him. Doug: ”Let’s make out.” Rosa: ”Not yet.” The cops can say whatever they want around
Doug, because whatever happens, he’s not in a position to judge.
The real moment of Christmas magic in ”The Pontiac Bandit Returns,” however, comes be-
tween Jake and Rosa. Jake rags on Rosa for a lot of the episode—for good reason, it seems, she
might be letting the Pontiac Bandit get away—and when Doug does get away, Jake could easily
get back at her with an ”I told you so.” At the bar, after their mission, things seem to tend in that
direction. Jake shows Rosa Doug’s video, which reveals how he used Kyle the waiter in the hotel
to stage a getaway. Rosa apologizes and promises that they’ll get the Pontiac Bandit next time.
Jake could easily make this about him (as he often does), but instead, he puts his friend’s goals
ahead of his own. And then Diaz’s heart grew three sizes that day.
The B- and C-plots this week were decidedly slimmer than the grand Christmas epic of Jake,
Rosa, and Doug Judy, but they were still pretty great. In Boyle-and-Gina news, Boyle discovers
a present from his dad to Gina’s mom. The two freak out over the possibility that their parents
are getting serious, until they break open the present and discover that it’s just an electric scale.
Then, to hasten the apparent end of their parent’s relationship, Gina and Boyle decide to arrange
a gift swap so they can see Gina’s mom’s disappointment when she opens the gift. Instead, she’s
thrilled (the happy couple’s getting serious), which grosses Gina out (she steals a bottle of wine
and leaves the restaurant) but also gives her a new sense of purpose. The next day, she tells
Boyle that they need to break up their parents ”for their sake, for our sake, and for the sake of
this great nation.” For some reason, I was suddenly very sad that Chelsea Peretti never made a
cameo in Lincoln.
Amy, Holt, and Terry ended up together in the third plot this week, as Amy struggled to make
a Christmas gift—a scrapbook about Holt’s professional highlights ”from RAY to Z”—without
spending any money (”my time is worth nothing!”). Amy runs into a problem when she discovers
that Holt may have charged an arsonist with one-too-many counts of murder back in the ’70s,
but Holt actually treats her research as a present. He’s thankful that she pointed out one of
his errors, and he assigns her the job of figuring out who really did commit those crimes. ”Oh,
more work!” Amy says, and then tries to explain herself ”I know that sounded sarcastic...” Terry
corrects her: ”Nobody thought that.”
• Holt continues to appreciate bad puns. This week, he’s amused by Amy’s attempt to make
entering a room more seasonal by saying ”nog, nog.”
• Hitchcock has a terrible hand wound, but insists he only needs scotch tape to fix it. Also,
he leaves the scene without seeming to get any tape.
• Scully’s a master detective. When Holt announces a holiday party at 9 o’clock, he asks ”AM
or PM?” Holt: ”I’m going to let you figure that out.”

Stakeout
Season 2
Episode Number: 33
Season Episode: 11

Writer: Laura McCreary, Tricia McAlpin
Director: Tristram Shapeero
Guest Stars: Nick Cannon (Marcus), Kyra Sedgwick (Madeline Wuntch), Marc Evan
Jackson (Kevin Cozner)
Summary: Jake and Charles’ stakeout for eight straight days puts a strain on
their friendship. Meanwhile, Holt’s nephew visits Brooklyn and makes
an instant impression on Rosa.
Captain is smiling, he’s happy because

their task force was a success, and
Wuntch has to put a medal on him. Holt
yells ”Wuntch time is over!” when she be-
stows him with the meal and as he says,
he has ”no regrets.”
Boyle and Jake sign up for an eight-
day stakeout, because they aren’t wor-
ried about fighting. Amy and Gina catch
Terry making a picture book for his twins’
birthdays. Terry’s drawings look like the
squad, because it’s easier for him to draw
from real life. Over at the hotel where they
are holding the stakeout, Jake and Boyle
are setting up the room. It’s the first day
of the stakeout, and Boyle makes a schedule for them, and Jake shows Boyle their equipment,
including ”baby basketball.”
Holt introduces the squad to his nephew, Marcus. Rosa says bye to him when he leaves, which
Gina points out is big for her. Gina, oh so subtly, points out Rosa wants to ”bone” Holt’s nephew.
Day 2 of the stakeout, and Jake recaps Boyle of what happened when he was sleeping. Jake
requests that Boyle eats with his mouth closed, but he said he can’t because it’s a new method
of eating. Boyle then points out he isn’t complaining that Jake is eating butter with maple syrup
on it.
Day 3 of the stakeout, and Jake and Boyle decide to write down each other’s annoying behav-
iors so they don’t fight, and 15 minutes later they made their ”no-no list.” Back at the precinct,
Holt tells Rosa that Marcus asked to find out if she’s single, which she is, however, she said if he
wants her number, he’ll have to ask for it. Gina and Amy discuss Terry’s book based on them,
and they realize that they’re a lot like their characters. Day 4 of the stakeout, and no one has
used the drop house yet. Jake gets annoyed with Boyle’s rhyming, and adds it to his no-no list.
Throughout the night and next day they continue to add things to the list, until the list takes
over the whole entire wall.
Day 6 of the stakeout, and they both decide to add no talking to each other’s list. That night,
the Captain called and asked if they were annoying each other and needed a relief team yet, but
69
they lied and said no. Amy and Gina tell Terry they read his book, and Amy tells him she isn’t a
pushover and Gina says she isn’t a bitch. Terry tells them that the story is nonsense and it isn’t
real life. Holt tells Marcus to join him and Kevin at breakfast, but then they see Rosa coming
down the stairs, too, making everything very awkward. Day 7 of the stakeout, and the only food
left is Boyle’s herring. Boyle and Jake start fighting, and they end up deciding that they aren’t
friends. Boyle, in turn, throws the basketball at Jake, breaking the window and blowing their
operation.
Jake and Boyle are back at the precinct. Holt tells Jake that they blew the chance to catch the
perp. Jake requests a new partner for door duty, but Holt forces Boyle and him to work together.
Amy tells Terry that the book bothered her because she can be a push over, and Gina tells him
that she learned she’s perfect the way she is and she should never change. Holt calls Rosa into
his office, and he gives her back her ”brassiere” that she left in his room. He also tells her that
she and Marcus should continue to see each other if they want, and to not let him stop her. She
says she will, and they both agree to never talk about this again. Jake and Boyle catch their perp
during door duty, and make up in the process.

Beach House
Season 2
Episode Number: 34
Season Episode: 12
Originally aired: Sunday January 4, 2015

Writer: Lakshmi Sundaram, David Phillips
Director: Tim Kirkby
Guest Stars: Nick Cannon (Marcus), Jim Garrity (White Detective)
Summary: The team is excited to spend the weekend at Charles’ beach house for
a detectives-only-getaway, until Jake ruins the fun by inviting Cap-
tain Holt. Meanwhile, Charles helps Rosa send romantic texts to her
new boyfriend, and Gina tries to get Amy drunk, simply for her own
enjoyment.
Jake tells Terry and Amy that Holt has

no pants on, because he thinks he spilled
hot soup on them and had to take them
off. He says he’s willing to get visual con-
firmation to prove it, but after many failed
attempts, Holt admits that he is sitting
in his underwear. Jake ends up spilling
soup on himself, and they both sit behind
Holt’s desk, pantless.
Jake hands out directions to the De-
tective’s Only vacation, aka Dog Party ’15.
This year it will be held at Boyle’s beach
house. Gina hopes to see 6-drink Amy
this weekend, a drunk Amy she’s never
seen and hopefully the side of Amy she
can be friends with. Marcus shows up at the precinct to give Gina a phone charger, so that she
can text him while she’s away. However, Rosa is not very good at relationship stuff. Holt tells
Jake that he never got to go on trips with his squad back in the day because of the fact he was
black and gay. At the beach house, everyone is relaxing. Jake shows up–with Holt.
Rosa is mad at Jake for inviting Holt since she is dating his nephew, but he tells them how
he felt bad for him. Amy says she’s cutting herself off from the alcohol since Holt is here, which
upsets Gina. Rosa is texting Marcus, and asks Holt for help with her response. At lunch, Holt
makes a toast saying thank you for inviting him. After launch, the group takes a walk on the
beach, in the dead of winter. They head to the hot tub afterwards and then head to the patio to
smoke cigars, and each time Holt ruins the activity. Jake and the team admit it sucks having
Holt there. Jake decides to have separate parties one with just them and then an awkward one
with Holt.
Jake’s plan is for at least 3 of them to be in the room with Holt at any given time, and for
them to have 20 minute shifts. The first shift proves to be super boring, with Holt making them
listen to recorder music. Meanwhile, Boyle continues to help Rosa text. Gina gives Amy her 5th
drink, and she starts getting confident, asking Holt for a raise and then takes her 6th drink. The
71
parties alternate between Holt’s boring stories and the fun party playing quarters. Gina finds out
that 6th drink Amy is just sad. Holt comes downstairs and finds out that they are having a party
without him, so he walks out.
Boyle tells Rosa it’s her turn to text Marcus back, and she tells him how she doesn’t want to
screw their relationship up. She gets a shirtless picture back, proving she did a good job. Amy is
super drunk and Gina takes care of her. Jake goes to talk to Holt, who is in the hot tub, but Jake
points out that maybe it’s time for Holt to stoop down to their level. The squad ends up playing
”Real Ray or Fake Ray,” where Jake reads out quotes and they have to decide if Holt said it or
not.

(Teenager), Allen Evangelista (Savant), Christopher Michael (Hank),
Tosha Lynette (NY Pedestrian)
Summary: Jake’s unpaid debts come back to haunt him when his colleagues gang
up on him to pay them back. Meanwhile, Amy and Holt take another
look at the Brooklyn Broiler case.
Rosa asks Boyle for a resturant recom-

mendation for Marcus’ birthday. Jake
weighs in by telling her to order take out
and pretend he cooked it. Gina tells her to
take him to Drag Queen Dim Sum. Even
a perp weighs in and tells her to go to the
top of the Empire State Building, because
you can ”pee on the whole city from up
there.” Gross.
Jake asks Terry for a dollar, but Terry
tells him he’d appreciate if he’d pay him
all of the money he owes him back, which
is over two grand. Holt and Amy begin to
work on the Brooklyn Boiler case. Jake
thinks Terry wants to pay him back be-
cause there is something wrong, but Terry tells him he is sick of waiting for Jake to do the right
thing. Jake actually figures out that Terry and his wife are pregnant, but Terry tells Jake it’s a
secret because it is way too early to tell anyone about it. Jake promises he won’t tell anyone.
Holt tells Amy he solved the case already, that a man named Richard Wilcox started the fires,
and that he has the address to a store he owns. Jake pays Terry an installment of what he owes
him, which is $1200. Terry tells Jake that if he doesn’t tell anyone about the pregnancy for 4
weeks, he’d consider Jake to be the godfather. Everyone else is suspicious that Jake finally paid
Terry back when he didn’t pay anyone else he owed back. To keep from telling the secret, Jake
tells them ”it’s payback time.”
Jake calls in the squad to figure out what he owes them. Since he doesn’t have any money left,
he tells them he’ll do anything they want to work off the debt. Gina makes Jake call people and
tell them she’s dead, Scully makes Jake give him a massage, and Rosa made him clean his bike.
Boyle comes up and makes Jake wash his dogs, knowing Jake hates them, because he thinks
Jake and Terry have a secret. Amy and Holt are waiting for Wilcox and they share ”street meat”
in the car. Holt talks to Amy about when he originally worked the Broiler case. Holt and Amy find
out that Wilcox died a few weeks ago. However, as they are talking to Wilcox’s grandson, Holt has
73
to use a restroom due to what the street meat did to him. Jake accidentally hit reply-all on an
email about Terry being pregnant, so the whole office knows! Oops!
ake tells everyone that Terry can’t know the secret is out, but Gina points out he got the
reply-all email, too. Jake tells them they need to delete the email from Terry’s computer. Jake
goes to distract Terry at the gym, and asks him to take him through his workout. Jake struggles
to keep up with the workout, while the squad upstairs tries to guess Terry’s password. Boyle
guesses Terry’s password, which is yogurt, so all is well.
Terry’s wife comes to meet him, and Holt, back early from the stakeout, spills the beans to
Terry that Jake sent the email to everyone, which obviously angers Terry and his wife. Jake
makes Scully fake a heart attack in order to distract from the situation, unsuccessfully. Jake
apologizes to Terry, but he is still upset. Amy goes in to talk to Holt and apologizes, telling him
how she just wanted to be a great partner. Holt tells her that they can laugh about this situation
one day, and then he laughs!! Jake pays back Terry the rest of what he owes him, selling his car
to do so. Terry offers Jake the role of godfather, which excites Jake into quoting ”The Godfather.”

Simpson (Paul Thatch)
Summary: Sophia’s job starts to take time away from her relationship with Jake,
so he appeals to her boss to get her more free time. Meanwhile, Wuntch
asks for Holt’s help with a career change.
Jake is counting all the ants he sees in

the office, and realizes it’s an ”invasion.”
Holt points out they are probably in the
office because of the cold and that they
should ”freeze them out,” but that back-
fires when they end up in their coats.
Jake and Terry ”accidentally” bump
into Sophia, Jake’s girlfriend. Jake and
Sophia leave to take a walk in the park.
Over at the precinct, Wuntch visits Holt.
She tells him that she is a front-runner
for Chief of Police in Boston. She tells
him how since their fighting is the only
blemish on her record, the commissioner
wants to talk to Holt. Gina spills a milk-
shake on Boyle because he is backing out on breaking up their parents, since his dad wants to
ask Gina’s mom to marry him.
In the park, Sophia tells Jake that she isn’t getting assigned any good cases because she’s
dating a cop. She asks him if they can press pause on their relationship until she can figure out
what to do with her pause. Later, Terry points out that ”pause” seems bad. But Jake has a plan
to win over Sophia’s boss: he’s going to go to Sophia’s work fundraiser tonight. Jake asks Terry
to go with him and to ”do it for love.” Phony smiles in tow, they attend the fundraiser.
At the precinct, Holt asks Rosa what to do about Deputy Wuntch. Rosa tells him vengence
isn’t worth it and to be nice to Wuntch. At the fundraiser, Jake goes up to Sophia and tells her
he’s going to charm her boss. She meets his boss, but his attempt at charming him failed. Amy
and Boyle try to resolve their conflict, but Gina tells Boyle she’s unsure about the relationship
because she’s worried about her mom getting hurt again. Boyle tells Gina to talk to his dad
because he’d never hurt her mom. Jake realizes that Sophia’s boss, Jeffrey, has a gambling
problem, and uses it to his advantage. They spend the night taking various bets. When Jake
goes to the restroom, he runs into her boss...doing cocaine. Yikes.
75
Jake has to arrest Sophia’s boss because he caught him doing cocaine. At the precinct, Holt
tells Rosa that he took the high-road and gave her a good recommendaion. Gina goes into the
interrgation room to talk to Boyle’s dad. He answers all of her questions with honesty, and she
gives him her blessing. Jake is processing Jeffrey, and Sophia shows up, as Jeffrey’s attorney.
She and Jake start fighting and she breaks up with him.
Jake ran to stop Sophia from leaving, and tries to change her mind. She tells him that she
doesn’t think she loves him back. She says she’s sorry and leaves. Holt visits Wuntch and she
tells him that she used the Boston offer as leverage and now she has a promotion job at the
NYPD, so she has more power over him. She kisses him and then leaves. Leaving Holt stunned.
At the bar, Boyle and Gina thank Amy for helping them out. Jake and Holt are grieving their
failures. Instead of trying to cheer up, Holt, Jake, and Terry take shots to feel better!

Season Episode: 15

Guest Stars: Nick Kroll (Agent Kendrick), Eva Longoria (Sophia Perez), Seth Morris
(Agent Piln), Jan Munroe (Dr. Henderson), Cassius Willis (Agent Maz-
zarino), Peter Janov (Uniformed Sergeant)
Summary: Jake is heartbroken over Sophia, but his spirits are lifted when the
squad is invited to a Homeland Security terrorist training simulation.
That is, until the agent in charge assigns them the lame role of playing
hostages. Meanwhile, Gina administers a psychological exam to Holt,
and Amy and Rosa compete for a day off from work.
An emergency meeting is called and Terry

tells the squad that they are filling in for
the DOD at this year’s Homeland Secu-
rity’s Multiagency Counterterrorism Drill.
The NYPD is the irst non-federal agency
ever invited to event. Jake plans on us-
ing this drill to dedicate all his time to
so he can forget about Sophia and how
she hasn’t texted him back yet. Terry and
Boyle tell Jake he needs to ”cathart” and
move on.
Santiago and Diaz both want Saturday
off, but Holt tells them that he needs one
of them to take the shift. Amy says she
can’t because she has to go to a Ted Talk
on Power Poses, and Rosa can’t because she has dinner with her parents, but Amy doesn’t believe
that’s the real reason.
Gina needs someone to take a personality test for her class and Holt offers to take it since the
squad is at the drill. Holt’s quiz results show that he is in the category that has a robust sense
of self, and is well suited for leadership positions. Holt is very pleased with his results, and Gina
tells him that she got the same category as Holt, which he is shocked by.
Over at the drill, Jake makes enemies with Homeland Security Agent Kendrick, but then
realizes that Kendrick is in charge. The NYPD ends up being hostages, and don’t get to actually
participate in the drill. Jake refuses to accept the position of hostage, so he and Boyle break free
and start taking down all of the ”terrorists” in the drill and then they go and free the rest of the
squad. The 99 takes out all of the terrorists, and instead of ending there, they decide to take
down everyone else, becoming the bad guys. They do this so that Jake can ”cathart” more.
Jake and Kendrick make a deal that it doesn’t end until one of them dies. All of the members
of the 99 get shot, so it’s down to Jake. He ends up cornering Kendrick, but Kendrick tricks Jake
77
and ends up shooting him first. However, Jake is ok with the results, because he is feeling a little
bit better and he realizes he was able to ”cathart.”
Back at the precinct, Holt apologizes to Gina for trying to get her out of his category, and
he realizes that his actions were not very nice. To show Gina he believes in her abilities, he
puts her in charge of scheduling and budget tracking. Amy tells Rosa she is going to take the
Saturday shift, and Rosa tells her the reason she is going to dinner with her parents is because
she is introducing them to Marcus. The episode ends with Jake dropping off Sophia’s things and
running into her and them having one final ending conversation.

pold (Diane), DaJuan Johnson (Detective Maxime Drexel), Peter Janov
(Uniformed Sergeant)
Summary: Jake teams up with Holt’s husband, Kevin, to find out why his boss
has been acting so moody. Meanwhile, Boyle has a hard time getting
a confession out of an elderly suspect who pretends to be senile and
charming when Amy and Rosa are around.
The Organized Crime Unit takes Jake’s

materials for a case. Jake goes to Holt to
have him intervene, but Holt is in a terri-
ble mood. He even takes away everyone’s
overtime.
Jake is determined to find out why
Holt has been so angry (but more espe-
cially to deflect blame away from him-
self, seeing how he accidentally set off the
sprinklers the day Holt’s mood started).
He sets off to figure out what is hap-
pening, and starts by going to Kevin (en-
listing Gina to help him, since Kevin
hates him). He finds out Holt was in a fine
mood last week, the day things started
going downhill. The three begin tracing Holt’s steps.
At Holt’s fencing class, they find out Holt hasn’t been attending. Kevin realizes Holt has been
lying about going to class. Things are even worse than they were before, and now Kevin is angry
too.
Trying to get into Holt’s shoes, Jake walks his path, and sees a security camera. Using the
footage, he goes to Holt’s house, and tells him that the reason he is so mad is that he was
mugged. Holt says he fought off the three men, but was ”lightly stabbed.” Kevin is furious that
his husband hid this from him, and now everyone is even MORE angry.
Meanwhile Boyle has finally caught a bank robber who has been eluding him... an old man
named Marvin. Amy and Rosa think Boyle is being ridiculous, but Marvin whispers to Boyle that
he did steal the money. He plays helpless for the ladies however. Boyle is determined to get a
confession and prove he’s not being insane. However Marvin dies before he can get the truth.
Luckily, Amy ran the serial number on a dollar that Marvin gave her for getting her a soda, and
vindicates poor Boyle.
79
Jake tracks down one of the muggers, and brings Holt to the apartment so he can make the
arrest. Holt admits that he is upset because he acted foolishly, and put himself in danger and
was hurt. The arrest lifts his mood, and overtime is restored.

Mitichyan (Gregor Minsk), Stephen Root (Lynn Boyle), Evan Shafran
(Deejay), David Grant Wright (Justice of the Peace)
Summary: Wedding tasks are handed out when Gina’s mom and Charles’ dad get
married, but Terry has his hands full with officiating the ceremony,
while Jake and Amy are distracted by chasing a criminal.
A counterfitter Amy has been track-

ing has resurfaced, however Gina inter-
rupted her briefing to talk about the wed-
ding of her mother to Charles’ father. She
needs everything to be perfect, so she
asks the precinct to give her updates.
Jake is getting the ring, Terry’s tux is
tighter, and Rosa is dealing the flowers,
so, so far so good.
Jake, thanks to Gina’s mom, is able to
see Jenny, a girl from his past who left
him at his middle school dance for an-
other guy, but is finally single after all of
these years. Gina’s mom’s priest dropped
out, so Gina asks Terry or Holt to do it.
Since Terry is ordained. Jake and Amy go to pick up the ring, but on the way to the wedding,
Amy gets news about her counterfitter and asks to check out her lead before the wedding. As
Rosa helps Boyle’s dad with his cufflinks, he starts to freak out wondering if this marriage will
fail like his other FIVE! Amy and Jake see Eddie Minsk, her counterfitter, and go to pursue!
Gina needs some good news, since the caterer accidentally cooked one of the doves. She asks
to her Terry’s speech, but he starts breaking down while reading it. Gina fires him and gives the
speech to Holt. Amy and Jake catch Minsk, and as a reward, Amy tells Jake how she plays french
horn. Gina gives more updates, which pretty much is that everything is going wrong. Amy and
Jake show up to the wedding, and Jake goes and talks to Jenny. Jenny asks him to sit together,
but Gina stops him first to ask for the ring. He realizes he lost it. Uh oh.
Jake and Amy go back to the alley where they caught Minsk to look for the ring. Amy finds
it and jokingly puts it on Jake, but it gets stuck on his hand. Back at the wedding, Boyle tells
Gina about how his dad is freaking out. Gina goes and talks to him, and tells him to follow his
heart, and everything works out. Holt is working on his speech, but so far it is nothing close to
emotional. Jake lets Gina know that the ring is stuck on his finger, and Terry pulls it off for him,
81
but as he’s doing it Jake sees Jenny kissing another guy: pain on an emotional and physical
level.
It’s wedding time! Holt sees Kevin and is able to give a great speech. The ceremony goes
off without a hitch, and it made Holt realize he wants a real wedding. Marcus congratulates
Boyle, who didn’t realize he was coming.Rosa tells Marcus she hadn’t asked him to the wedding

Summary: Jake’s thrilled when his absentee dad visits New York to spend some
time with him, but Charles thinks the man is up to no good. Mean-
while, Holt hatches a difficult brainteaser for Amy, Terry, Gina and
Rosa in exchange for tickets to a Beyonce concert.
Boyle has a goatee, oh no! Thankfully,

the precinct lets him know how horrible
it is. Oh man he even named it Bianca.
However, Holt holds Boyle down and Jake
shaves it off of him. Phew!
Jake asks Boyle what restaurant is
good for taking someone’s dad too, be-
cause his dad is coming into town, for
the first time in 6 years. Holt goes into
the breakroom to tell the guys a brain
teaser. The prize for who solves it first is
two tickets to Beyonce’s concert. Jake’s
dad, Roger, arrives at the precinct and in-
troduces himself.
Amy and Terry and Rosa and Gina are battling to see which pair solves the puzzle first. At
dinner, Roger tells Jake that he’s been accused of smuggling and asks him for help. He tells him
that that’s the reason he visited. Poor Jake.
Jake tells the team that the Canadian cops have a strong case against him, and they need
to prove his innocence, and he asks permission from Holt to go to Canada to help his dad. Holt
tells him to take Boyle with him, and Jake asks for Scully, who knows French, to translate. Jake
is flying to Canada on a plane his dad is piloting.
Amy and Terry are having trouble solving the puzzle. Meanwhile, at the Canadian airport,
Roger gets arrested because the cops found pills in his apartment.
Scully tells Jake the cops are holding his dad without bail, and Boyle thinks his dad is guilty,
but Jake realizes that because he cheats on his girlfriend, that gives someone motive and oppor-
tunity to plant them on him. Jake and Boyle go undercover as pilots to solve the case. Back at
the 99, Gina and Rosa beg Holt to help them. Amy and Terry barge in with the answer, but Holt
tells them they’re wrong.
ake finds a girl at the airport bar that looks like his dad’s type, and tries to find out if she’s the
suspect. The girl is on to them and realizes they aren’t pilots and makes them leave. Thankfully,
83
Jake got a cleaning spray bottle with her fingerprints on them, so he can see if she’s a match.
Rosa and Gina realize, due to the pictures Gina took, that Holt doesn’t have the solution to the
puzzle himself, and he needed it to impress his superior. Jake, his dad, and Boyle return to
Brooklyn. Jake finds out that his dad’s ”side piece” framed him. Unfortunately, Jake’s dad bails
on the plans his made with him and the Jake tells Boyle he was right about his dad. Jake goes
to see Roger, and tells him that he’s finally starting to see him for the man he is, a pretty crappy
father. At the bar, Amy and Terry give props to Gina and Rosa. Holt comes up and gives Gina
the Beyonce tickets. Holt tells Jake he’s proud of him for the work he did in Canada. See, Jake
doesn’t need his dad, he has Holt!
We finally got to me the infamous Roger Peralta, Jake’s dad. Unfortunately, he’s not a good
guy. The only saving grace is that he’s played by Bradley Whitford, who is one of my all-time
favorite TV actors. I love seeing him on the show, but I only wish he had a nicer/longer lasting
role! I do have to say, too, that he and Samberg have great father/son chemistry. Speaking of
Samberg, I am very proud of Jake for finally standing up to his dad, and for taking his captain
hat! Jake deserves a much better father, but thankfully he has Holt to serve as a pseudo-father. I
just hope that Jake’s speech to his dad changes him in the future, so that he becomes the father
Jake deserves.

Summary: Jake’s streak of bad luck makes him think that he’s got an enemy,
so Holt asks Amy and Rosa to investigate. Meanwhile, Gina’s insulted
when Holt makes light of her dance troupe; and Charles works a case
with Scully and Hitchcock in Jake’s absence.
Jake is having a string of bad luck!

Monday: Jake comes in late because his
alarm didn’t go off. Tuesday: No hot wa-
ter. Wednesday: His car ran out of gas
and his clothes disappeared. Thursday:
Jake failed his drug test. What!! Jake
suspects that someone is trying to sabo-
tage him. Holt puts Amy and Rosa on his
sabotage theory and tells Jake that in the
mean time he is suspended.
Since Jake is gone, Terry assigns
Boyle a new partner–well partners: Scully
and Hitchcock, which does not make
Boyle too happy. Terry then goes and
talks to Holt about the fact they both
missed Gina’s dance recital. Terry told Holt he lied for them and said they were there, because he
doesn’t want to let her down. However, Holt will have to tell Gina the truth if she asks, because
he can’t lie. Rosa and Amy are talking with Jake about his case, but they won’t let him help out
because he’s suspended.
Jake is ”sight-seeing” at Brooklyn Urine and Blood and ”runs” into Amy and Rosa and tries
join them on the case, but they send him home. Back at the 99, Holt tells Gina that he’s sorry
they didn’t go to her performance, since it’s a big hobby of hers, which offends her. Gina then
announces to the precinct that she will never dance again. Meanwhile, Boyle is trying to work
with Scully and Hitchcock, but he can’t get either of them to focus.
Jake surprises Amy and Rosa by hiding in their car, but they still won’t let him help, so he
gets out of their car and they leave. While he’s trying to figure out where he is, he almost gets
run over by an ice cream truck! And when the driver gets out of the car, we find out it’s Sophia’s
old boss, Geoffrey Hoytsman, who was arrested for possesion of cocaine, and he has a gun!
Hoytsman ties Jake up in the ice cream truck, because he blames Jake for ruining his life.
Back at the precinct, Gina continues to make Holt feel guilty for calling her dancing a hobby.
Terry points out that, although she doesn’t care about what people think, she cares about what
he thinks.
85
Scully and Hitchcock tell Boyle that they solved his case and prove to him that they aren’t
incompetent. Back at the ice cream truck, Hoytsman forces Jake to make a video confessing to
all of the things Hoytsman did, like father two children with his cleaning lady. At the end of the
confession, Hoytsman writes for Jake to say he’s taking his own life, oh no!
Jake headbuts Hoytsman, but falls out of the ice cream truck and can’t get up because he’s
still tied to the chair! Holt talks to Gina, and tells her she is a professional dancer because he’s
paying her dance team to perform two shows. Back in the ice cream truck, Hoytsman ties Jake
back up. Amy and Rosa come to Jake’s rescue, though, arresting Hoytsman. Jake apologizes for
acting like a jack-ass, too. Back at the 99, Boyle tells Scully and Hitchcock that they are actually
good cops and apologizes for calling them useless. The next day, Holt lifts Jake’s suspension!

but R&R doesn’t come easy for him. Meanwhile, Holt and Rosa go on
a double date with their significant others.

jured on the job chasing a perp. Jake re-
fuses to take time off even though he has
3 cracked ribs, 3 broken toes, a hairline
fracture in his thumb, and isn’t cleared
for duty. Terry lets Jake stay, but only
doing office-work. After hearing a crash,
Terry and Boyle find Jake in the evidence
room after he hurt himself trying move
boxes and Terry makes Jake go home and
rest.
Four days later, Jake is back, even
though he was supposed to take a whole
week off. Jake tells Terry he isn’t working,
but going to Atlantic City with Charles
and is staying at the Ravenna. Per usual Jake fashion, he takes Boyle to a stakeout, since his
perp, Olson, has a brother who lives in the motel they are going to be staying at and he thinks
Olson will be there.
Kevin insists on Rosa and Marcus coming over for dinner. Holt calls Rosa in and tells her he
has a plan to keep things from getting ”too personal” aka he invites Amy and Gina to the dinner
party as ”intimacy buffers.” Amy is freaking out about the dinner because she wants to be chill
for the first time and Gina tells her she’s going to freak out like she normally does.
Rosa and Marcus show up at early at Holt’s place and they realize they have 8 minutes and
40 seconds to small talk before Amy, who is always on time, shows up. Unfortunately, Amy and
Gina are on the train and it’s running behind. They start dinner without them, and Rosa and
Holt freak out when Kevin and Marcus try to get personal. Rosa runs out of the room and Holt
follows, she then tells Holt she might be pregnant. Holt helps her leave the dinner so that she
can go take a pregnancy test.
Amy and Gina show up to the party and Holt tells them it’s over, so Amy, realizing nothing
matters, gets Drunk with Gina. The next morning Amy and Gina are hungover after their ”chill”
night. Holt apologizes for cancelling and they plan for a makeup dinner. Rosa goes into Holt’s
office and she lets him know she isn’t pregnant and thanks him for his help.

him he called in backup for the stake out and doesn’t let Jake out of his sight. Jake spots his
perp outside and plan on observing him before the Atlantic City PD shows up, but when Olson
sees them and runs, Jake goes after him against Terry’s orders, but gets hit by a car. Terry is
upset that Jake never listens to him, but Jake tells him that the one time he took time off during
a case, civilians got hurt so he vowed to never take time off during a case again.

Writer: Gabe Liedman, Lakshmi Sundaram
Guest Stars: Garret Dillahunt (Dave Majors), Gabe Liedman (Oliver), Cedric
Yarbrough (Steve), Gabe Delahaye (Milo), Craig Stepp (Gary Shaw)
Summary: Jake’s excitement to work with a top NYPD detective is tempered when
he discovers the guy wants to date Amy. Meanwhile, Charles and Gina
struggle to convince Terry to stay at the precinct after he receives a
tempting job offer from a private-security firm.
The precinct is in shock: Rosa is wearing

pink! Boyle is upset, because if he wore
a pink shirt, they’d tear him to shreds.
Unfortunately, this grievance reminds ev-
eryone of when Boyle wore a tie with pur-
ple, and resurfaced his nickname, Mr.
Grapes!
Captain tells the team they need
someone to work a case with Det. Ma-
jors, and Amy and Jake jump at the op-
portunity, and Holt puts both of them
on the case. Meanwhile, recruiter from
Cooperhead Security, Gary Shaw, is at
the precinct, and he tells Captain that
Terry reached out to him. Gina and Boyle
are very upset that Terry called Shaw. Over at the crime scene, Jake and Amy meet Det. Majors,
and they both try to show off to him.
Terry tells Gina and Boyle that Shaw offered him a great deal for a job, and he’s trying to do
what’s best for his family, so he’s considering taking it. Majors invites Jake to get a drink at a
speakeasy he has an invitation too, and while they’re there, Majors asks Jake that he’s going to
ask Amy out when the case ends.
The next day, Jake tells Rosa about what Majors said, and admits to her that he still likes
her. Rosa tells Jake that he has to let Amy know that he’s an option. In the captain’s office, Gina
and Boyle plan to throw Terry a ”please stay with us” party. Holt is upset that Terry would even
consider to leave the 99. In the ME’s office, they tell Jake, Majors, and Amy that they found no
prints in the van they found. Jake asks Amy to talk, and he tries to ask Amy out, but he keeps
being interrupted by very gross things and then Majors tells them that they’re guys are on the
move.
Boyle and Gina are trying to make Terry happy, with lavender yogurt and his baby pictures,
in order to get him to stay, and Terry loves it. Unfortunately, Holt is giving Terry a lot of work,
which makes Terry have to cancel date night, effectively counteracting what Boyle and Gina are
89
doing. Jake, Amy, and Majors are back at the 99, and when Majors goes to get coffee, Jake is
about to ask Amy out again, but he solves the case. Which means, Majors is going to ask Amy
out—oh no!
Jake is upset eating Mexican candy, because he solved the case before he could ask Amy
out. Rosa tells Jake to show Amy he cares, and show up to her date with Majors and ruin her
night. Gina and Boyle tell Terry they finished his files for him so that he can have her date night
with his wife. When Holt finds out that they digitized his files for Terry, he makes Terry digitize
2000-2005, making him have to cancel his plans, AGAIN. Over at the speakeasy, Jake tries to
get in, but doesn’t know the password. He can’t get in, so he tries to read other guests lips to
get in, but doesn’t get it right still. Instead, Jake just sneaks in through the fire exit door, but he
sees that Amy really likes Majors before getting kicked out.
The next morning, Terry tells Gina and Boyle that he declined the offer. Holt tricked Terry by
making him digitize files that reminded him of the great work they do at the 99, which made him
want to stay. Majors comes by, and tells Jake that Amy wasn’t into it and it didn’t go well. Jake
is confused why this happened, and goes to ask her. Amy tells Jake she has a new rule: ”I don’t
date cops.” Ouch.

(Officer Lou), Eve Moon (McKenzie), Benjamin Royer (Bobby), Savan-
nah Douglas (Little Miss Side Braid), Kelvin Brown (Greg Gerg)
Summary: Jake works his dream case when Wuntch gives him the green light,
but Holt worries that he’s being set up to fail. Meanwhile, Amy, Rosa
and Gina pitch in when Terry hosts a field trip for a magnet school.
Gina is insanely distracted on her phone,

so the squad makes a bet and the first
person who makes her look up wins the
pot. Terry wins by changing his relation-
ship status to ”It’s Complicated,” but even
though he won the money, his wife was
not happy about the change.
Jake is briefing the team about a
death that could be connected to 21 mil-
lion dollars of stolen money. Jake thinks
it’s an epic case, but Holt tells him to
treat it like a regular case. Meanwhile,
Terry tells the squad that they are hosting
a field trip for a magnet school that he’s
trying to get his kids into. Amy, Gina, and
Rosa volunteer to help him.
Another murder connected to the money occurs, and Holt tells Jake and Boyle that Wuntch
wants to talk to them, probably to hand the case over to Major Crimes, and Jake won’t let it
happen. The magnet school makes it to the precinct, and the principal and Amy hit it off, and
Gina makes friends with the ”alpha” of the students. Over at Wuntch’s, she tells them that the
case is still theirs and that they have her full support.
Jake decides to go after the two living members of the Fulton Street Four, and Holt tells him
that he’s joining the case, so that they don’t mess anything up and prove Wuntch right. The
principal of the school wants to talk to Terry and he puts Amy in charge. Unfortunately, Amy
does not know what to do with kids, so she just shows them a picture of a dead body.
The principal of the school tells Terry that she’ll give his file another look, but it’s ruined when
she comes in and sees the pictures of the dead bodies. Jake, Boyle, and Holt go check up on their
suspect, and they find him and he tells them that the other member of the Fulton Street Four,
DeAngelo, is trying to kill him. Jake called Wuntch and asked for a chopper so then can go get
the suspect, and she approved, and it’s on its way to them!
91
The guys are on the chopper, and they assign themselves code name, Jake being ”Death
Blade,” Boyle being ”Side Winder,” and Holt being ”Wet Blanket.” Holt is upset, becuase if they
don’t catch DeAngelo, Wuntch will make sure his career is over. Back at the 9-9, Amy apologizes
to the prinicpal of the school, and point out the kids did teach alot. Meanwhile, the chopper lands
and the guys strut out in typical movie fashion. They find DeAngelo, and he’s dead. Jake calls to
see if the other guy, Bloodzo, is still in custody, and he finds out that he escaped the hospital.
Jake goes to talk to Holt, and he points out how they are working an epic murder and all he
can think about is Wuntch. Holt realizes Jake is right, and decides they need to solve this case.
He even gives himself a code name, ”Valvant Thunder.” Back at the precinct, Terry thanks the
girls because his kids are off of the wait-list, and he also tells Gina she was named ”Spring Dance
Princess.”
Jake, Holt, and Boyle find Bloodzo, and the money! In the words of Holt, ”bing-pot!” Back at
the precinct, Wuntch tells Holt she wanted him to succeed so that she has a reason to promote
him, so he has to leave the 99, because she’s making him head of NYPD Public Relations!!!!

Randazzo (Pizza Guy)
Summary: Jake and Amy go undercover to take down the borough’s most in-
famous identity thief. Meanwhile, the members of the precinct are
floored by a surprise farewell.
Scully is in a state of distress, because

their vending machine is being replaced.
The squad says bye to the machine, since
it’s been with them forever. They even
give the machine a ”squad salute.” When
the machine falls and breaks open how-
ever, the only thing on their mind is ”free
candy!”
Jake briefs the squad about Michael
Augustin, an identity thief, and Holt pairs
up Jake and Amy to tail Augustin. Jake
acts weird when they get paired up, lead-
ing Amy to think something is wrong.
Jake, using a Jamacian accent, tells Amy
how he had planned to ask her out before
she told him that wasn’t what she wanted. In Holt’s office, he tells Terry and Gina that he’s being
forced out of the 9-9. They both freak out, but Holt says they need to find ”the letter,” which is
a letter in which Wuntch called her now-boss a buffoon, and if they find it, he’ll be able to stay.
Terry and Gina are in to help Holt, Gina even turns her phone off!!
Rosa is upset, because Boyle is insinuating that Marcus is throwing her a surprise party for
her birthday. That night, Amy and Jake have to go undercover in a restaurant in order to tail
Augustin. Playing Johnny and Dora, they pretend to have just gotten engaged to get a table–much
to Jake’s discomfort.
Jake and Amy get a table–right next to Augustin and his girl. Over at the archives, Gina tells
Terry she found where the letter should be, and she tells Terry to go get it while she distracts the
guard. Terry has trouble opening the file, so he just takes the whole tower out, and they give Holt
the file. Back at the stakeout, Boyle admits to Rosa there is a surprise party for her, and she’s
very upset, so upset that she revokes his priviledge to call her Rosa. At the restaurant, Augustin
and his girlfriend ask Jake and Amy a bunch of questions about their relationship, making them
answer questions that realize their feelings.
93
Holt is about to confront Wuntch, but Wuntch, making sure he isn’t bugged, gives him a
very uncomfortable pat-down. Back at the restaurant, Augustin says he’s going in the back to
talk to the chef, and as they are watching him, he notices, so Jake kisses Amy to make it less
suspicious.
Back in the van, they tell Boyle and Rosa they kissed, much to Boyle’s excitement. They follow
Augustin to where he is leaving the package, and Jake tells Boyle and Rosa to follow Augustin
while Amy and he stay with the package. Meanwhile, Holt shows Wuntch the letter, and he tells
her she has until tomorrow to reverse his promotion. Jake and Amy notice that the guy with the
package is looking at them, so Amy kisses Jake, making them look harmless, and when he picks
up the package, they arrest him!
Back at the 99, Amy and Jake are signing the arrest report, and thinks are a little awkward.
They both agree they don’t want things to change, so they will just stay partners. Boo. Meanwhile,
at the restaurant, Rosa walks into what she thinks is a surprise party, but is actually Marcus
who rented out the bar so that they could have her birthday dinner in peace. After another weird
pat-down, Wuntch tells Holt that she’d transfer all of his team if he doesn’t accept the transfer.
He decides to take the transfer, and unsuprisingly, the 99 is very upset, INCLUDING HOLT. Gina
decides to go with Holt. Later, Jake finds Amy in the evidence room, and they talk about the
transfer and all the change, which leads to Jake kissing Amy! However, they are interrupted by
Boyle who lets them know the new captain is here...

New Captain
Season 3
Episode Number: 46
Season Episode: 1
Originally aired: Sunday September 27, 2015

Writer: Dan Goor, Michael Schur
Director: Michael Schur
Guest Stars: Bill Hader (Captain Seth Dozerman), Peter Janov (Uniformed Cop), An-
drew Patrick Ralston (Bryce), Kyra Sedgwick (Deputy Chief Madeline
Wuntch), Dean Winters (The Vulture), Phil Augusta Jackson (Trent)
Summary: A new captain takes over after Holt is transferred to the public-
relations department, but Jeffords has his hands full keeping chaos
from reigning in the precinct. Meanwhile, Jake and Amy deal with the
fallout of their kiss.
The episode picks up in the exact spot

where we left our favorite detectives —
waiting at the elevator to meet their
new boss. His name is Seth Dozerman
and he’s a nose-to-the-grindstone worka-
holic perfectionist... meaning, he’s basi-
cally the Nine-Nine’s worst nightmare. He
loves numbers, has no use for people,
and would be content to work himself
to death — which, incidentally, is what
happens by the end of the episode. RIP,
Dozerman. We’ll always have your Dozer-
pads to yell at us for not working fast
enough.
Just what killed B99’s boss was walk-
ing in on Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago making out in the evidence locker (His final words?
”Tell my wife I love her... work ethic.”). The show seems committed to moving forward with their
relationship after the pair’s ”for reals” kiss at the end of last season. At first, they agree to
keep things ”light and breezy” and set ground rules like not telling anyone at work, not using
boyfriend-girlfriend labels, and not having sex right away. An awkward official first date leads to
breaking Rule No. 3, and after accidentally killing Dozerman, they come clean to everyone but
decide to just stay colleagues, but that decision is short-lived — as Boyle puts it in a pep talk
with Jake: Being ”light and breezy” is for linen suits, not for relationships with people you care
about.
So by episode’s end they’re together again and it’s apparently not light or breezy. Hopefully
B99 intends to keep their relationship going for at least the immediate future — keeping these
two on and off would be bad for the precinct and frustrating for fans.
And Hader’s short guest-star tenure means the Nine-Nine needs another new captain. If you
thought Holt could make a return, you’re out of luck (at least, for now). Their newest boss is... The
Vulture (a.k.a. Detective Pembroke) from back in season 1. That should make things interesting
around the office, and not just because he greets his underlings by calling them ”ding-dongs.”
97
Speaking of Holt, he and Gina got screen time over at his new NYPD Public Relations post,
where he has eight-point plans and big ideas for community engagement but Wuntch says he
can’t start anything until they finish the work already in progress — like naming the NYPD’s new
pigeon mascot (they settle on Paulie, though Pepper really is the best option). He knows he can
do good work there, but Wuntch won’t let him. As Gina puts it, ”This man is a Timberlake and
you need to stop treating him like a Fatone.”
There was one other nice scene between Gina and Holt, where she says she followed him to
PR because he makes things better (and because she thought it would help launch her reality
show Linetti, Set, Go — not to be confused with her fragrance line, Gina in a Bottle). Turns out,
these two make a nice team, and not just when Holt is wearing the Paulie the Pigeon costume in
an elementary school.

Summary: Another personnel change at the precinct could jeopardize Jake and
Amy’s nascent romance. Meanwhile, Terry helps Holt with a PR prob-
lem; and Rosa and Gina urge Charles to abandon his crush on a col-
league.
The precinct is set to attend the funeral

of Captain Dozerman. Jake tries to be-
friend their new captain, The Vulture, in
order to draw his attention away from the
rest of the team. However, The Vulture
figures out his plan and threatens to de-
mote Jake if he doesn’t dump Amy.
Jake and Amy seek the help of Cap-
tain Holt, who has come to the Nine-Nine
for a PR visit with The Vulture. Shaken
from his encounter with The Vulture, who
belittled him and rejected his suggestions
as former precinct captain, he refuses to
help Jake and Amy.
Meanwhile, Charles is excited about
the funeral, since he’s been meeting another lieutenant at police funerals and having sex. Charles
meets this woman, but Gina and Rosa’s insistence that this is out of character for him gets to
him. He goes with the woman, but decides to ask her questions about herself. He finds out that
she’s a vegan, which turns him off.
At the funeral, Jake and Amy decide to record The Vulture’s threat to demote Jake and seek
the help of the chief of detectives. However, the plan doesn’t work and The Vulture demotes Jake.
Terry finds Holt drinking at the bar where he later has to give a toast about hope. They both
drink and share their troubles about how unhappy they are with the fact that Holt is no longer
captain of the precinct.
Holt gives a terrible, hopeless speech at the funeral. However, Jake, trying to save his rela-
tionship with Amy, salvages the speech by saying he’ll never give up on them. This moves Holt,
and he finds a way to fix Jake and Amy’s situation.

investigate and finds the real perpetrator.

Amy to be the first face of his campaign. Gina tries to convince Holt that the campaign is a bad
idea, but Holt dismisses her input. However, Gina turns out to be right, and Holt is forced to end

the detectives should only tackle easy
cases like misdemeanors so he could
boost his numbers, Jake took it upon
himself to go rogue and pursue a hunch
about the resurfacing of the Oolong
Slayer, that weirdo psycho who tea-bags
his victims (literally, not in a sexual way)
and sets up creepy dollscapes at the mur-
der scenes. And although Wuntch con-
tinued to neuter Capt. Holt (figuratively,
not in a sexual way) by loading him up
with meaningless drivel, Holt took it upon
himself to defy her orders, ditch his PR
duties and do some real police work again
with Jake. Soon enough, their bosses found out about their off-book investigation and told them
to stop — suspended them, even — but Jake and the captain continued to try to catch a most
dangerous predator. It felt good and adrenalizing to see Holt partner up again with the under-
ling who causes him the most colorful headaches to take down the tea-topped killer and reclaim
his power, especially on a more-serious-than-usual case. (The only thing missing was a Holt-is-
refined/Jake-is-a-Neanderthal gag in which Holt explains why he prefers rooibos over chamomile
while Jake weighs in with a Lipton-versus-Crystal Light analogy.)
Over in B-plot land, Terry, who has been stressed out about his soon-to-be-expanding family,
discovered the sweet joy of Charles’ cacao nibs and wound up expanding his own waistline (nice
prosthetic makeup, BTW). Meanwhile, the Vulture misogynistically tasked Amy and Rosa with
throwing him a party. (Was having the Vulture perform at his own event really a stroke of ”evil
genius,” though? Not really. And he deserved a much worse fate on his way out. But Amy will
take a win where she is given one.)
In the end, the Vulture’s rule of terror ended as abruptly as it began, as Jake cut a deal with
the chief of detectives, which allowed the big boss to take credit for taking down the Oolong
Slayer in exchange for putting Holt back where he belongs: in charge of the Nine-Nine.

Halloween III
Season 3
Episode Number: 50
Season Episode: 5

Writer: David Phillips
Guest Stars: Mary Lynn Rajskub (Genevieve Mirren-Carter), Merrin Dungey
(Sharon Jeffords), Josh Casaubon (Nadia), Elena Varela (Random
Woman), Kelsey Yates (Cagney Jeffords), Skyler Yates (Lacey Jeffords),
Omar Angulo (Mariachi Criminal)
Summary: Capt. Holt and Jake split the squad into two teams for their annual
Halloween heist competition, and this year’s a tiebreaker to determine
who claims the title of ”amazing detective slash genius.”
It’s almost Halloween, and in the Nine-

Nine, that means it’s time for one thing
– a battle of wits. For the past two years
Jake and Captain Holt have staged heists
on Halloween, where Jake has had to get
an item from Holt. They each won once,
and decided that this year they would
both have to work to retrieve an item (a
crown) and possess it at midnight. The
game has become so official that Holt and
Jake even draft teams. Holt’s consists
of Sarge and Gina, whereas Jake takes
Boyle and Rosa. Hitchcock and Scully are
ignored for obvious reasons, and Amy is
shunned by both teams due to her ques-
tionable loyalty. Holt worries she can’t be trusted as she’s Jake’s ”paramour,” and Jake thinks
that Amy will do anything to get Holt’s approval. So that leaves Amy teamless as the rest of the
precinct heads off to do their derring-dos. She even tries a couple times to get onto a team, but
both Jake and Holt just talk to their enemies through the secret camera they think is hidden in
her cleavage.
The crown is locked in a briefcase, which in turn is locked in the interrogation room, forcing
the teams to get creative with retrieval. Boyle (Team Jake) and Gina (Team Holt) are sent to guard
the crown, and each other. Jake’s team employs Operation Wrong Vent, wherein Jake pretends
like Boyle marked the wrong vent for him to descend through, distracting Gina while Rosa dives
rolls into interrogation, cuts the crown out of the case, and rolls back out. Oh, and there were
live cockroaches from Boyle’s pantleg in the mix as well.
Although Team Jake has the initial advantage, Holt was counting on Jake to retrieve the crown
and get extremely overconfident, so that he could more easily cut him down. After gathering intel
from a bug on Jake’s desk, Team Holt commences its own crown retrieval from Jake’s drawer.
Sarge calls in his twins, Cagney and Lacey, to come do a photoshoot with Jake, to distract him
105
while Holt sneaks in through the window, unscrews the back of his set of drawers, snatches the
crown, and photobombs Jake. Unfortunately Team Holt’s plan hits a snag when a cackling witch
decoration gives away his location in the breakroom, forcing Holt to hastily ditch the crown in
the trash, and drink a soda. Which honestly seems like the more horrifying thing to Holt.
Later the crown disappears from the trash, and both teams think the other team has pos-
session, until they realize neither of them do. Team Jake checks the surveillance tapes and sees
that one of the trash collectors, named Al, came and took the trash already. Both Jake and Holt
try to suck up to Amy, as they realize that she’s the only one who would have the address of
every employee of the Nine-Nine (in order to send them Christmas cards of course). She resents
their brownnosing, but sends them both the address so neither has an advantage.
oth teams arrive at the apartment building to find the elevator out of order, and they run up
to his apartment on the 16th floor. There they find out that Al’s actually on the roof smoking,
another fifteen floors up. They all make it up (though Jake’s a little worse for the wear), only to
find that Al is actually... AMY SANTIAGO? Jake tries to play it off like they schemed together,
but she quickly pushes him back to the losing side and explains her grand plan. She could tell
that Holt had a listening device because he jumped when Jake passed by the freaky witch earlier
– even though his door was completely closed. Amy read Holt’s lips to figure out his twin plan,
and then moved the witch to draw attention to him, forcing him to throw away the crown so that
she could come and collect it. She left the crown at the bar, and the Nine-Nine all head over to
attend her coronation. Queen Amy, an amazing detective/genius, congratulations.

Summary: Jake and Charles take Terry on a weekend camping trip as a ”baby-
moon,” but it doesn’t go as they had hoped; and Holt gives Rosa rela-
tionship advice. Meanwhile, Gina helps Amy prepare for an important
presentation.
Charles and Jake decide to take a very

stressed Terry on a guys’ weekend out.
They head out to the cabin of a colleague
expecting that he would be away, but
this goes wrong. The cabin is neither as
luxurious or as safe as they anticipated,
they fail at fishing, and neither Jake nor
Charles thought of bringing food.
Charles decides to go foraging for fun-
gus, but falls down a sinkhole. Terry and
Jake try to find him, but get lost first,
and then fall into the same sinkhole.
Terry and Jake then get into an argument
about how Jake doesn’t take responsibility for anything.
Jake takes this to heart, and finds a way out of the pit while the others are sleeping. Terry
later realizes that he really does need to relax, and finds a fun way to do so.
Holt realizes that Rosa is planning on breaking up with Marcus, and advises her to break up
with him via text message. They later realize that this may not be the best approach, and Rosa
practices the break-up on Captain Holt.
She breaks up with Marcus, but finds herself getting emotional afterwards. Holt tries to be
supportive, but suffers the same emotional fate.
Amy wants to sell her reader-flashlight idea to the powers that be, but realizes that she may
be too boring to do so. She asks Gina to help her spice up her presentation to make a better
impression. The presentation is a success, but her bosses do not go for the flashlight. Gina later
encourages Amy by showing her how she made a difference.

Episode Number: 53
Season Episode: 8

Guest Stars: Nick Offerman (Frederick), Merrin Dungey (Sharon Jeffords), Kaliko
Kauahi (Brenda Hix), Tom Proctor (Rake), Omar Angulo (Angry Family
Member)
Summary: Jake’s in charge of entertaining Sharon while Terry and Rosa head
off to learn about the Douglass Street murders, but Sharon’s water
breaks and crisis ensues at the precinct; and Amy and Charles must
process paperwork by hand due to an internet outage. Meanwhile, Holt
is forced to confront his ex-boyfriend.
Terry and Rosa have to go investigate a

murder case. Terry asks Jake to take care
of his wife Sharon at the precinct, while
keeping her away from Captain Holt, who
stresses her out. Jake asks Gina to help
manage Holt, but are faced with a sur-
prise when Sharon’s water breaks.
Jake tries frantically to keep Sharon
calm, including telling Captain Holt to
stay away from her. Holt takes this
personally, and makes Jake’s job as
Sharon’s caretaker even more compli-
cated. Terry tries to make it back, but
faces obstacles like a stopped subway
and surface traffic.
Meanwhile, the internet is down at the precinct, forcing Charles and Amy to do all the pa-
perwork by hand to process the offenders they’ve brought in. The process is slow because they
are forced to use only one fax machine, and the people in the precinct start getting frustrated.
Hitchcock and Scully, making things worse, inadvertently start a fire, causing the alarm to go
off.
Sharon and Terry planned to use a doula and avoid hospitals, but since the doulas are not
available, Jake convinces Captain Holt to ask his estranged ex-boyfriend Frederick, an OB-
GYN, to assist with Sharon’s birth. Frederick, concerned about Sharon’s blood pressure and
the precinct environment, recommends the hospital.
Sharon turns to Jake for advice and they go to the hospital, and Terry arrives angry that
Jake has gone against his wishes. However, he realizes afterwards that the hospital was the right
decision, and after thanking everyone for their part in baby Ava’s birth, he allows Jake to be the
first to see her.

The Swedes
Season 3
Episode Number: 54
Season Episode: 9

Writer: Matt Murray
Guest Stars: Anders Holm (Soren), Riki Lindhome (Agneta), Marc Evan Jackson
(Kevin Cozner), Neil deGrasse Tyson (Himself), Yan Birch (Stig), Ravi
Naidu (Mitch), Tim Talman (Karl-Ove)
Summary: Jake and Rosa are forced to work with Swedish cops in order to solve
an international case; and Amy and Terry offer to help Gina prepare
for a test. Meanwhile, Holt enlists Charles to be his squash partner for
an annual tournament.
This week the competitive juices were

flowing in all sorts of directions. Jake
and Rosa tried and succeeded in tak-
ing down a diamond ring (nope, not
that kind; it’s only Jake and Amy’s
six-month anniversary), but not before
they tried yet couldn’t quite succeed
in one-upping a pair of way-too-close-
for-comfort Swedish cops, Soren and
Agneta, who were sent by Interpol to
crack the case with them. Meanwhile,
a wave of testosterone overwhelmed
Charles (”Squash’s unhinged lunatic,”
raved the Sarah Lawrence Phoenix) as he
was forced into unleash-the-beast mode by Holt so he could help bring his captain a third squash
doubles championship as Kevin’s fill-in. And over in the third story line, celebrity astrophysicist
Neil deGrasse Tyson — Terry’s gym buddy whom Terry recruited to tutor Gina in astronomy so
she could pass her test — out-squatted the muscle-bound man who can make his pecs dance.
(And while Neil proclaimed Gina hopeless, she did get a useless but well-choreographed lesson
about our solar system from Amy and Terry.)
By the end of this episode Gina had passed her test (and presumably partied that night under
the glow of Et Cetera), Amy had ruined her chances of hooking up with Hitchcock forever, Charles
had smacked Holt’s ass during a racquetball montage set to Mötley Crüe, and Rosa had given
Jake an idea for an Amy-appropriate anniversary gift and had learned a lesson from Jake in
friendship, specifically that you can’t spell partner without pal — actually, you can, and you
should, because that L really messes things up.

Yippie Kayak
Season 3
Episode Number: 55
Season Episode: 10

Guest Stars: Tom Billett (Matt), Jamal Duff (Zeke), Merrin Dungey (Sharon Jef-
fords), Paul Lacovara (Gunter / Robber), Phil Levesque (Klaus / Rob-
ber), Brandon Morales (Ramon), Sean Poolman (Michael Lorne), Max
E. Williams (Grant), Dean Winters (The Vulture)
Summary: Jake, Charles and Gina find themselves in a real-life ”Die Hard” situ-
ation on Christmas Eve; and Terry is forced to leave his family cele-
bration in order to save his squad. Meanwhile, Amy tries to prove that
she’s just as tough as Holt and Rosa.
It was the magical moment that Jake had

been waiting for: Christmas Eve. Make
that a hostage situation in a sealed-off
building on Christmas Eve. This was his
Die Hard — or at least the closest he
probably would ever come to it — and
he was going to make the most of this
gift while trapped in a department store
with Charles, Gina, and some shoppers
held at gunpoint. That comedic conceit
worked perfectly, resulting in more than
a few laughs: We watched Jake, giddied-
up at his chance to play John McClane,
try to contort this situation into his all-time (and oft-referenced) favorite film and express dis-
gust/disappointment when he discovered that the bad guys were Canadian instead of German
and had names like Matt instead of Klaus. He was oblivious to the danger around him, right up
until one of the robbers was about to straight-up shoot him, which he capped off delightfully
with a nervous, off-kilter and absurd punchline.
Charles and Gina had their moments to shine, too. First Jake and Charles gained the upper
hand, albeit temporarily, by weaponizing prosthetic limbs and knocking out the criminals to the
sounds of Onyx’s ”Slam.” And then Charles took down the big baddie by crashing through the
vent (John McClane would approve) and exclaiming ”Yippie kayak, other buckets!” (John Mc-
Clane would not approve). Jake’s decision to let Charles play hero here was appropriate karmic
justice for forgetting to buy his uber-thoughtful friend a Christmas gift. Of course, given that
this was a Die Hard-ened tribute, we received the bonus ending in which the bad guy still has
one last unexpected fight in him, but Gina quickly subdued him with a makeshift flamethrower,
thus saving the day/Christmas. (It’s what she does. Every. Damn. Year.) The only thing missing
was Scully and/or Hitchcock in the underground parking garage, perhaps trying to open a bag
of pork rinds and his hand slipping violently and accidentally knocking out one of the Canadian
criminals holding him hostage.
115
Meanwhile, Terry, who considers himself more Lori Greiner than Barbara Corcoran, but also
is kind of a Mr. Wonderful with all of his third-person references to himself, was just trying to
get some peace and quiet — isn’t he always? — for the holiday but sprang back into action after
receiving a call from Jake that was part ”Help!” but mostly ”Oh my god, the coolest thing is
happening right now!” This begot a series of amusing exchanges between Terry (as McClane’s
man-on-the-outside Al Powell) and the perpetual glory hound that is the Vulture (as cocksure
deputy chief Dwayne T. Robinson), who was itching to send the SWAT team in for the kill, despite
Terry’s rational pleas to let Jake advise from the inside. (One offensive comment too many finally
landed the Vulture in a garbage can.) Alas, the other story line — which featured Holt and Rosa
going for a polar plunge and Amy desperate to prove that she could ”dunk her junk” — fell a bit
flat and felt disjointed from the rest of the episode. It’s Christmas — your wish is to see the whole
gang together as much as possible. Yes, having Holt, Rosa, and Amy off on their own chill thrill
allowed Terry to demonstrate that he had captain characteristics (minus the trash-can stuffing);
Holt would urge him at the end of the episode to take the lieutenant’s test as a stepping stone.
But it would’ve been nice if these three could have been tied more into the department store
adventure.
Anyway, what’s a brother named Charles got to do to get a wet wipe around here? Let’s tell
Ramon to stop farting, go to town on Daddy’s nog, make a toast to the sea with a glass of heart
attack soda, take a dip in Lake Cocytus, liberally apply some Canyon Stank, shut our dumb
poem mouths, and revisit the best lines of ”Yippie Kayak.”

Season Episode: 11

Writer: Phil Augusta Jackson
Director: Max Winkler
Guest Stars: Kathryn Hahn (Eleanor), Mary Lynn Rajskub (Genevieve Mirren-
Carter), Kyle S. More (Steve Henderson), George Alexander (Jay-Jay),
John O’Leary (Franklin), Steve Tom (Kellan Heller)
Summary: Charles and Genevieve want to take their relationship to the next level,
but his ex-wife, Eleanor, intervenes; and Amy asks Terry to write a
letter of recommendation. Meanwhile, Holt and Rosa enlist Gina’s help
to solve a case.
Captain Holt engages in a dance-off with

some street performers after they spill his
coffee.
Charles wants to have a baby with
his new girlfriend, but his ex-wife Eleanor
holds his sperm bank donation hostage,
demanding that he use his police priv-
ilege to deal with a collision situation
she has. Jake and Charles try to get the
sperm back, though Eleanor remains a
step ahead of them.
Charles decides to carry out Eleanor’s
wishes, but is stopped by Jake. Jake re-
minds him that good fatherhood doesn’t have to be biological. Charles takes this to heart and
decides to end Eleanor’s power over him by becoming a father without his sperm.
Amy wants a recommendation from Terry to be a mentee in a mentorship program, but acci-
dentally breaks his nose while trying to impress him. When trying to make amends and check
the status of her recommendation letter, she continues to accidentally injure Terry.
When she doesn’t get into the program she wanted, she accuses Terry of writing her a bad
recommendation, infuriating him by questioning his integrity. However, Terry reveals that he sent
the recommendation to the wrong place, thinking she wanted to be a mentor, and encourages
her to start teaching others.
Holt and Rosa bring in a criminal with ties to credit card fraud, but he only wants to talk to
Gina. Gina almost blows the interrogation, having not read the file, and with the criminal saying
that he only wanted to talk to her because he went to high school with her.
Gina asks for a second chance, but also blows it. Rosa salvages the investigation by bonding
with the perpetrator through complaining about Gina.

Episode Number: 57
Season Episode: 12

Writer: Justin Noble
Guest Stars: Oscar Nuñez (Dr. Porp), Jeff Bosley (Nick DiTullio), Larry Guli (Joey
Garibaldi), Stephane Nicoli (New Yorker)
Summary: Capt. Holt and Jake contract the mumps during an investigation and
become quarantined together in hopes of solving the case. Meanwhile,
Rosa tries to help Boyle through a mourning process; and Terry is
forced to clean up Hitchcock and Scully’s mess.
Kevin is away in Paris and the precinct

believes that Holt is low because of this
and while they all have their own sugges-
tions in making him feel better it’s Jake’s
option that speaks the closest to Holt’s
heart and interests, even if it all a sham.
Jake digs up an old closed case of his and
tells Holt there is new info on the street
about the man he’d been targeting and
asks him to work weekends to help him
solve it. It’s a selfless task of Jake to do
but it’s also one that plays into his com-
pulsive need to work.
The case very abruptly goes off the rails when a witness gives them the mumps. So poor
vulnerable Holt and Jake find themselves quarantined. They decide to quarantine together at
Holt’s house, so that they can work on the case, and share in their misery as their various...
lumps... cause them a great deal of pain.
The two detectives, along with their disgusting goiters, Simon and Balthazar, fight through
a fever-induced haze in order to solve the case. Drunk on cold medicine they screen security
camera footage and find that Garibaldi (the missing mafia lieutenant) slipped something to the
chef at the restaurant the FBI had staked out many years ago. They get ready to go out and find
the paper when Amy comes over and stops them from leaving, even bundled up with surgical
masks and oven mitts – besides, they don’t need to go find the paper, it’s a recipe, and it’s been
taped to the wall the whole time. After Amy persuades him, Jake reveals to Holt that the case isn’t
perhaps as urgent as he thought, in fact, it was just something Jake dug up to keep him busy.
Holt gets angry that Jake dug up a pity case for him, and the two take naps, and then wake up to
angrily poke the other’s mumps. Amy swings by to show Holt that they weren’t pitying him, they
were trying to help out a friend, and make the him and Jake some baked ziti with Garibaldi’s
recipe. They quickly discover that the note is not a recipe (due to the 7 cups of salt, 18 cups
of oregano, and 9 onions involved), instead it’s a code, for a phone number! The number’s still
active, and a SWAT team picks up Garibaldi as Jake and Holt end their quarantine. Holt thanks
Jake for helping him feel less lonely, and for all he did to get Holt back at the Nine-Nine.

The Cruise
Season 3
Episode Number: 58
Season Episode: 13

Director: Michael Spiller
Guest Stars: Craig Robinson (Doug Judy), Paul F. Tompkins (Captain Orleans),
Niecy Nash (Debbie Holt), Sam Adegoke (Ship Photographer), Jack Ax-
elrod (Henry Coles), Mike Watson (Bill Dugan), Ruben Garfias (Walter
Gotaro), Mike Watson (Bill Dugan)
Summary: Jake and Amy go on a cruise together, but their vacation is spoiled
when they discover an old adversary is on board with them. Mean-
while, Gina and Terry help Capt. Holt survive a visit from his sister;
and Charles and Rosa vie for the same apartment.
The episode brought us the welcome re-

turn of the slippery charmer Doug Judy,
a.k.a. the Pontiac Bandit, who is known
for stealing cars, scenes, and Jake’s
heart, even though the clown detective
hates to admit it. The episode proved
to be an entertaining off-shore romp, as
Jake was given free tickets to a cruise
(little did he know, by Doug himself),
which he turned into his first big trip with
his precinct rival-turned-mattress mate,
and once onboard, he quickly spotted his
hated arch-nemesis that he didn’t really
hate, Doug, who was masquerading as
Horatio Velveteen (amazing name), the ship’s piano lounge entertainment.
Turns out, Jake and Amy couldn’t arrest Doug (they were out of their jurisdiction, and the
only person who could slap on the cuffs was the tax-evading captain, but he needed the probably
high Horatio to distract the passengers with smushing songs so they wouldn’t revolt over the lack
of ranch dressing). So instead of straight-up living that slug life, eating unlimited shrimp, and
sipping on a beverage adorned with a potato skin, he (and Amy) reluctantly kept an eye on Doug,
who’d lured them onboard to protect him from a hitman, a story Jake didn’t buy. But their re-
bonding on the high seas began anyway — Sandy B. in a sarong in Speed 2! — and the Bandit
even dropped some helpful advice on Jake about meeting the needs of his woman, whose needs
were non-stop scheduled fun.
Ultimately, and fittingly, Doug was shown to be truthful and not trustworthy: The hitman did
come after him, Amy took the hitman down, Jake issued the last of the over-easy shuffleboard
slang jokes (”You just got tanged by my girlfriend! Sorry I know that sounded really gross, but it
was actually awesome!”), and Doug jumped ship and escaped on a life raft, surely to resurface in
season 4. He left the frustrated detectives with a romantic parting gift, though: the Boom Boom
121
State Room. But it was the state of their relationship that they would truly upgrade as Amy said
”I love you” to Jake, which he did reciprocate (well, after trying the more non-committal response
of ”Noice! Smort!”) That they took their relationship to the next level in a dance class for widows
felt tonally appropriate for this kind of moment on this kind of show.
While Jake ran around the ship with his two lovers, Holt sought solace in seltzer as his sister,
Hurricane Debbie, blew into town for a six-week visit. While our buttoned-up exec captain’s ex-
boyfriend Frederick was introduced as a foil with a similar temperament, Debbie was much more
of an ”I-can’t-even” emotional force. In truth, she wasn’t any more difficult than the messes he
cleans up in the precinct every week, but her drama was magnified through his distorted lens
of pathological stoicism. First, Holt rebuffed her attempts at bonding in front of his underlings,
denying her claims that he was ”fun” as a child. Then, wanting her to do an about-face and
leave town again, he took Gina’s ill-conceived advice to fight drama with drama, which begat
several amusing line deliveries (”Everything in my life is a hot mess right now,” Holt told Debbie
in a semi-stilted manner). But in the end, after he learned that she had been cheated on and
dumped, he surprised her by building a childhood call-back fort in his office, where he invited
her in literally and metaphorically. As the episode went on, I worried that this plot wouldn’t really
pay off, but when Holt sat under that shrimp-free tarp and said, ”I would love to be all up in your
life,” we had our burst of B-story emotion.
And over in a perfectly adequate C-story plot, Charles and Gina squared off while they inves-
tigated the death of an 89-year-old woman, who had left behind an apartment boasting 1,800
square feet of space, exposed brick, and a gas range. Their intense contest to see who could but-
ter up the landlord and be chosen as the apartment’s next tenant ended in a no-win tie, which
seemed... fitting, if predictable, as they should have been more focused on figuring out that the
landlord had poisoned the old lady so he could release those rent-control handcuffs. But there
was a bit of extra fun in seeing Charles flex his normally weak backbone while butting heads
with Rosa.

Karen Peralta
Season 3
Episode Number: 59
Season Episode: 14

Writer: Alison Agosti, Gabe Liedman
Director: Bruce McCulloch
Guest Stars: Bradley Whitford (Roger Peralta), Katey Sagal (Karen Peralta), P.L.
Brown (Judge), Will Hines (Carl Kurm), Shelley Robertson (Celine),
Lloyd Barachina (Tommy Tran)
Summary: Jake wants to introduce Amy to his mother on his birthday, but an
unexpected appearance by his dad complicates the special day. Mean-
while, Rosa and Charles struggle with a new mandate on body cameras
while on a stakeout with Terry; and Gina forgets to inform the precinct
about Holt’s important plan.
Still glowing from her exchange of I-love-

you’s with Jake, Amy dutifully readied
herself to meet Karen Peralta, the mom
that Jake proudly serves and protects.
But Amy wound up getting the full Per-
alta at Karen’s home on Jake’s birthday
when Karen revealed that she had re-
united with Roger, Jake’s deadbeat pilot
dad who flew back in (and out of) his life
last season.
It was a nice touch to have Jake —
who has wanted his father to play a big-
ger role in his life — try to shoo Roger
away because he doesn’t want him back
in his life in this role. It was illuminating
to witness some of Jake’s damage from Roger destroying the family, sleeping with Karen’s best
friend, Sheila, and just generally being a ”leaving jerk.” And it was fun to watch Jake act out like
an bitter, wounded, goofy manchild (see: his poor, angry performance during charades) before
his mother (who got him his favorite kind of cake: blue!) explained to him that this was her deci-
sion (mistake?) to make. Still, there was something muted about Karen; I was rooting for a little
more fire, light, or mischief from the maternal part of the family dynamic, the mother of Jake the
jester.
While the episode entertainingly brought Jake’s parents together, it kept the rest of the cast
apart. Charles, Rosa, and Terry strapped on body cameras and took down a drug dealer, with
Charles going the extra mile and taking down his own pants. Quick recap: Rosa chased the dealer
into the Vietnamese restaurant where Charles bought the pho that he spilled all over himself.
That chase ended in the bathroom, where she found Charles naked, and then afraid that the
disturbing footage would become a key part of the case. Which it did, and everyone got to see
it. (”Objection!” ”On what grounds?” ”That’s... my penis?”) There’s an opportunity here, albeit
123
a tricky one, to run more comedy through those (very topical) body cameras; perhaps a future
episode will be told strictly through the lens(es) of the body cameras when the squad is forced
to participate in a documentary or maybe there’s a story to unspool through different points of
view, literally.
Meanwhile, in C-story land, Holt found himself trapped in a team-building exercise with the
B-team — Hitchcock, Scully, and Gina. (Loved the revelation that Scully had to communicate
with his father, a prisoner-of-war, via morse code; there’s a challenged father-son relationship.)
But as this plot headed toward its conclusion — they found the four keys before the deadline-to-
apocalypse expired, thus ending their incarceration.

Summary: The Nine-Nine host the detectives from their neighboring precinct,
the Nine-Eight, which reunites Jake with his old partner and causes
Charles to become jealous. Meanwhile, the rest of the precinct attempt
to be welcoming, but the plan doesn’t go well.
Stevie, Jake’s very first partner, arrived

with a bunch of his co-workers from the
Nine-Eight — the neighboring precinct
that no one at the Nine-Nine liked - –
because a pipe burst in the Nine-Eight
building and they needed a place to work,
which resulted in them sharing desk
space with our regulars.
The playful reunion between old part-
ners laid the foundation for a great reser-
voir of comedy: Jake and Stevie, over-
joyed at the chance to relive fast times
in badass flashbacks set to the Beastie
Boys, juxtaposed against the threatened
Charles, playing the ”three’s a crowd” card, feeling like a left-behind third wheel, trying futilely
to compete by bringing up his friendship with Jake (which didn’t boast the same highlight reel)
and referencing his old partner (and by old, we mean that Charles had to help ”The Coot” down
the stairs). Indeed, it was ”Swert!” versus ”Noice!” all the way through the episode.
With Stevie joining Jake and Charles on a stakeout to bust a drug dealer that Stevie had
been tracking, you knew that Charles would have to throw a penalty flag on Jake and Stevie’s
rekindled bromance, but he actually had a very good reason to (besides jealousy): He realized
that Stevie planted drugs in the apartment of the low-life suspect to save a botched mission.
Jake ultimately saw the light, which led to an absurd, cramped quarters attempt at fist fight with
Stevie, before it mutated into an all-out brawl between the two precincts. Stevie was ultimately
arrested and brought to justice by Jake and his restored-to-glory partner, Charles (with all three
singing ”Unbreak My Heart” in the perp ride). The foolery of singing Toni Braxton together did
undercut the severity of Stevie’s betrayal to Jake; there probably were darker jokes to make
there. Also, the dirty-cop reveal positions this as more of a one-off and doesn’t set up a logical
return visit for Stevie. That’s too bad, because the Beatsie Boys deserve another reunion, and
Stevie would be a welcome addition to the roster of dip-in-and-out characters like the Pontiac
Bandit and Wunch.

The episode’s related story lines involved the rest of the staff bemoaning and bitching about
the invasion of the Nine-Eight staff on their turf, which led Amy, Rosa, Hitchcock, Scully — and,
once his full-fat Greek yogurt had been violated, Terry, in a well-sold speech — to create a secret
satellite office/society on the roof. From Rosa’s seething hatred of a nut named Ellen who likes to
talk about juicing nuts, to Amy’s red-eyed irritation over her counterpart’s questionable therapy
dog (”Fraud dog! Fraud dog!”), the vitriol was bubbling over in all sorts of amusing ways. Even
Holt, who exhibited tremendous patience in being a gracious host by letting the other captain use
and abuse his office, right down to the critical lumbar settings on his chair, finally had enough.
During the inter-precinct throwdown, he surreptitiously sabotaged the radiator, rendering the
Nine-Nine inhospitable, and forcing the Nine-Eight to seek alternate housing arrangements and
the Nine-Nine to work in freezing conditions. Who would act so coldly? A man who secretly sent
a precious wooden duck tumbling to its death, that’s who.

Season Episode: 16

Guest Stars: Brad Hall (John William Weichelbraun), Richard Assad (Janx Ingram),
Alex Ball (Chad), Andres du Bouchet (Kernt), Afsheen Olyaie (Street
Guy), Philippe Stella (Olek)
Summary: When Jake insults Hitchcock and Scully’s work ethic in the precinct,
they force their way into one of his cases in attempt to prove them-
selves. Meanwhile, Amy and Gina help Rosa conquer one of her biggest
fears, and Holt and Boyle work a celebrity case.
The episode focused one of the most leg-

endary pairings the 9-9 has ever seen:
two detectives who rarely see the spot-
light, much less a meaningful assignment
in the field. Yes, that would be Hitchcock
and Scully, a pair of dumb-and-dumber,
checked-out cops who spend most of
their time in the shadows of our main
characters, avoiding real work and eating
highly questionable food, satisfied with
their career and/or body rot. But when
Jake suckered them into taking a small
case (which turned into a big one) so he
could make a play for a big case (which
turned out to be a small one), the pair held their own, comedy-wise, in an episode that wasn’t
quite as strong as the previous week’s, but served as a nice change of (personnel) pace.
Left unsupervised, Hitchcock and Scully crafted a wonderfully terrible undercover operation
to take down a drug ring: Scully’s alias was Tex Dallas, from Dallas, Texas; Hitchcock’s was Reno
Vegas, from Reno, Las Vegas (!); and their operation was suitably mislabeled as the Dallas Buyers
Club. But in the end, guided by Jake (who, with Terry, had to join the Operation Beans to prevent
them from, you know, dying), these two veteran slackers turned their weaknesses into strengths
(Hitchcock’s ability to avoid actual walking by riding his office chair over any terrain; Scully’s
ability to sweat profusely) in taking down the bad guys (albeit in amusing but not-at-all plausible
ways). And then they were promptly tagged and released back into their natural habitat, the
precinct, where Terry gave them new chairs to perma-recline in, so they wouldn’t be tasked with
important, day-saving stuff again.
Holt, meanwhile, tried to save the day — and impress a celebrity (well, at least in his mind): An
acclaimed NYSO oboist, John William Weichelbraun, claimed that his $40,000 oboe was stolen
while he was in the precinct. Andre Brauer, who constantly finds new ways to wring laughs out
of this stern, learned taskmaster, shined once again by playing Holt as someone who was trying
127
to wear both the hats of police captain and starstruck fanboy, with latter firmly covering up the
former. It was also fun to watch Charles mix it up as the voice of reason and frustration while
his boss careened off the rails: Holt initially handed the case to him, then partnered himself with
Charles, then all but removed Charles from the case when he started asking the hard questions.
(And, just like last week, he was right as rain on someone else’s parade: He sniffed out that
Weichelbraun was lying about the theft.)
What about Amy, Rosa, and Gina, you ask? Well, they made a pact to face their fears for
womankind: Gina feared talking to businessmen, Rosa was terrified of needles, and Amy wasn’t
so great in confined spaces.

Adrian Pimento
Season 3
Episode Number: 62
Season Episode: 17

Writer: Daniel J. Goor, Michael Schur
Director: Maggie Carey
Guest Stars: Kate Flannery (Mean Marge), Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento),
Amanda Rivas (Jenny), Anthony Rutowicz (Janitorial Henchman),
Harry Yi (Henderson)
Summary: When an unstable detective returns to the Nine-Nine after years un-
dercover, Jake doesn’t know what to make of him. Meanwhile, Charles’
rebellious behavior pits him against the precinct’s custodian, and Holt
enlists Gina’s help in directing a ”fun and informational” video starring
himself and Rosa.
Jack pairs with Det. Adrian Pimento who,

after dozen years spent undercover in-
filtrating the mafia had blurred, crossed
and otherwise effed up the line between
cop and criminal. Jake’s reaction was
perfect: Oblivious to his own full-throated
jeopardy while Holt explained the identity
of this crazy man in the precinct, he de-
clared, ”That... is... awesome!”
But as the episode unspooled, Jake,
who’d asked Holt to partner with Pimento
to investigate a breaking-and-entering at
an electronics store, would see that it
wasn’t exactly awesome. Initially enam-
ored with the man who did what Jake al-
ways wanted to do — go undercover in a hardcore, skull-busting way, instead of a brief stint that
involved switching the mafia’s internet provider — he saw that Adrian was actually a disturbing
handful (see: a flashback in which he beats someone to bloody pulp, cries a bit, then resumed the
beating; or rather: a flashback in which the victim’s blood serves as his eye moisturizer). Worse
yet, it seemed like he may still be working for the Butcher. Why else would he surreptitiously buy
a burner phone, don a ski mask to break into a warehouse to retrieve a dufflebag, and do tai chi
in his underpants? (Fine, that last one has nothing to do with anything; it’s just super creepy.)
While all of this sexually intrigued Rosa, who admitted that her crushes were bad news (see:
the Vulture, the ShamWow! guy, Stripe from Gremlins), Jake launched an investigation into
Adrian, only to wind up busted by him; the non-trusting Adrian then reverted to his old ways
as a bag man. That is, a bagger at a grocery store. (His unbottled anger at cashier Maggie?
Hilarious.) Only in the final minute did he take Jake up on his offer to help him transition back
into police life, joining him on the raid of the B&E perp’s apartment and attacking the guy just
as the episode ended. ”Adrian Pimento” felt a bit like a set-up episode (Can Jake tame — and
129
trust — Adrian? Will Adrian and Rosa get into a weird-ass flirtation/romance?), but a promising
one that is injecting some seriously dark, off-kilter energy into the Nine-Nine.
Let’s also touch on the B-story, which kicked off with a shocking moment, one maybe even
more jarringly funny than when Terry felled Holt’s office by slamming the door. The pressure
cooker that Charles was using to make a Turkmenistani stew for Pimento exploded, shattering
windows and leaving everyone dripping wet in goat gunk. Seeking a clean-up crew, Charles
ran into an administrative buzzsaw named Marge (The Office’s Kate Flannery), which resulted
in a janitorial boycott of their floor and a garbage pile-up before they learned her last name
and renamed the break room after her, which Charles promptly soiled again. The other story
line — Holt tasked an overambitious Gina with making a video to win a grant from the MC
Guffin Foundation (McGuffin, anyone?) to improve the Nine-Nine facilities — contained a twist
that amused: Gina replaced Holt with a look-alike who created a pill-popping backstory for his
character. In the end, semi-Sgt. Linetti impressed the foundation — and Holt — by eschewing
Hollywood pizzazz and served up the precinct’s mangy, wonk-eyed underdog truth.

Cheddar
Season 3
Episode Number: 63
Season Episode: 18

Writer: Jessica Polonsky
Director: Alex Reid
Guest Stars: Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento), Karl Brian Miller (Shredder
Owner), Ruben Vernier (Jorfrey), Paula Lauzon (Airport BG), Margaret
Newborn (Pedestrian)
Summary: Holt allows Amy and Jake to house-sit for him, but mayhem ensues
when his dog Cheddar goes missing. Meanwhile, a romantic fling be-
tween Rosa and Adrian Pimento disrupts the precinct.
This week’s shenanigans start when Jake

(and by default, Amy) volunteers to hous-
esit and dogsit for Holt, while he’s away
in Paris. Holt is on the verge of can-
celling his trip to see his husband be-
cause Cheddar’s regular dogsitter is sick,
and the heat’s out in his house. Jake
steps up to take on the responsibility
(or have Amy take on the responsibil-
ity) so that Holt can see his husband
after months apart. To complicate mat-
ters Jake’s already agreed to take care of
Boyle after his laser eye surgery, but he
says he’ll just watch him at Holt’s house. Amy is not on board at first because she’s worried she
can’t handle a ”Level One” responsibility, but changes her mind when Jake shows her the rules
binder. It’s got to work out if there’s a rules binder, right?
Wrong. The whole thing falls apart from the get-go, as Jake brings temporarily-blind Boyle
back from surgery to find that Cheddar’s gone and torn up Kevin’s cashmere sweaters while
Amy’s incapacitated by allergies. Then Boyle accidentally sets his pants on fire via space heater,
then lands on a coffee table and breaks it. The brief fire prompts a call from Holt as the alarm
company notified him. He decides to cancel his flight and stay home. But things get worse –
Cheddar escaped out through the door that was open to let out the smoke (from the pants fire).
Jake calls in reinforcements, and soon the whole Nine-Nine is sitting in Holt’s living room. He
gives them all assignments and everybody gets to work.
Amy and Jake go out searching for Cheddar, checking in parks, but they’re unsuccessful.
Boyle finds his way out of the car (where he was instructed to stay) and is sure that he located
Cheddar in the bushes. They find Boyle at the park Jake used to do hacky-sack... uh, cool stuff
at, and find out that ”Cheddar” is not, in fact, Cheddar, but is a large possum. Naturally this isn’t
the most comforting thing for Boyle to hear, since he’s cuddling the creature. They head back to
the house and after a pretty pitiful brainstorming session, Jake decides that Boyle’s idea to wear
Holt’s clothes around the neighbor until Cheddar picks up the scent is the best option.
131
Gina’s assignment when it comes to Operation: Find Cheddar is to pick up Holt from the
airport, and do whatever she can to delay his return. Naturally this prompts her to take Jake’s
car and run it over the spikes at the entrance to the airport parking garage. This pops all four
of the tires, leaving Gina feeling quite triumphant, and Holt quite annoyed. (My personal favorite
moment in this story is Gina talking like a computer/robot when she tells her phone to call Jake).
After a trip to the garage to get the tires fixed, Gina tries to mess with the car again by pulling
out a bunch of wires. Turns out that those wires are not essential to the car function and Holt
drives back to his house to find his employees wearing his clothing.
Holt immediately figures out that they’ve lost Cheddar and sends them home. But Jake re-
alizes that Cheddar chewed up Kevin’s sweaters because he misses Kevin, so he’s probably off
somewhere that they would go to together. After a consult with the binder, Jake, Amy, and Boyle
find Holt and make their way to a park where Kevin would take Cheddar for walks – and Ched-
dar’s there! Holt confesses that he didn’t cancel his trip because he was afraid Jake would burn
his house down, he cancelled it because he and Kevin keep fighting when they talk on the phone,
and he was worried what would happen if he goes to Paris and they fight. Jake reassures Holt
that they can work it out, because they’re the best couple he knows, and Holt’s the strongest
person he knows.
Following up on last week’s attraction, Rosa can’t seem to stay away from Pimento. And vice
versa. The two turn everything into an intense flirting match. Everything from signing forms to
hole-punching papers becomes a sexy back-and-forth. Terry can’t stand it. Jake assigns the three
of them to work together to hang posters for Cheddar around the neighborhood, and Pimento and
Rosa continue to drive Terry crazy with their flirting. Then Rosa proposes taking it a step further,
and Pimento freaks out and runs down the road. He ambushes Terry in the bathroom to have
a private conversation about his ”weird headspace.” Pimento admits to Terry that flirting’s one
thing, but he’s not sure he’s ready for a relationship or that he deserves to be happy after the
things he’s done. Terry reassures him with a simply ”Sure you do,” and Pimento excitedly thanks
him for the life-changing perspective. In an attempt to smooth things over with Rosa, Pimento
proposes to her. She obviously rejects, but asks him out for a drink instead. He accepts. ...
And then Rosa grabs him and they start making out hard against Terry’s car. Clearly Pimento’s
still adjusting back to normal life after a long period undercover, and it might take a while for
him to figure out how to react in normal situations, but maybe Rosa can help him through the
transition. And maybe his involvement with her will be too much too soon and throw him even
further out of whack – who knows?

Terry Kitties
Season 3
Episode Number: 64
Season Episode: 19

Writer: Phil Augusta Jackson, Tricia McAlpin
Guest Stars: Matt Besser (Detective Holderton), Nika Burnett (Russian), Sasha Gol-
berg (Russian Guy), Denell Johnson (Stu), Michael Klesic (Zerb Gu-
danya), Mino Mackic (Russian), Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento),
Andrew Oliveri (Dmitri Kuzkho), Jason Sims-Prewitt (Erick Dirph)
Summary: Terry tackles an old case with Jake’s help to prove his mettle to his
old precinct. Meanwhile, Adrian becomes Charles’ new roommate; and
Amy goes along on a difficult training exercise with Holt and Rosa.
The last episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine dealt with a

missing dog. This week’s episode dealt with what
we’ll call the opposite of a missing cat. Kittens
were popping up everywhere around the precinct.
This was something that tickled Jake and tortured
Terry. Why this aggressive assault of adorable? Be-
cause Sarge botched a case back in the day — no,
not when he was fat and called ”Terry Titties,” but
when he rocked a flat-top and was a rookie detec-
tive in the 6-5.
This episode unspooled the story of how Terry
took his partners on a busted bust, busting into the
apartment of a suspect who he believed had com-
mitted a string of B&Es by climbing into his victims’
apartments through high-rise windows. There was
the suspect, sitting in a wheelchair; apparently he
snapped his spine in a trapeze accident two years
prior. Adding panic to embarassment, Terry tried
to pin it on the guy’s cat, causing his fellow detec-
tives to begin their reign of adorable terror, razz-
ing him over the years by sending him feline re-
minders. Terry’s hulking size gives him a natural
(and comedic) dominance, but the show has found laughs when it has played against that, slot-
ting him into the role of beaten-down beta.
And this story line proved to be kooky comedy catnip, as Sarge had to relive that hapless
mishap by interacting with the 6-5, and the only outlet for his frustrated anger was to lash out
at cuddly kittens while Jake treated the cats as part of his ragtag crew.
In the end, Terry was able to acquit himself with the help of Jake, who deduced from the
wheelchair-bound suspect’s sneakers that the dude was actually faking this injury. (Alas, the
suspect’s now-deceased cat got away with it. I like to think that Terry pictures this cat as a
133
diabolical mastermind — the way Jake viewed Cheddar — with occasional cutaways of this cat
frolicking to happy Cheddar music.)
Speaking of beaten-down betas, Charles had his hands full this week. Full of weird and lack-
ing a home, Adrian took advantage of Charles’ hospitality/meekness, becoming his new incon-
siderate, deer-skinning roommate. Gina tried to help Charles just say no to bullying, but that
did not go well, and the plot seemed resolved as Gina stepped in, out-intimidated Adrian, and
made him pay one night’s rent and apologize to Charles. Then came the cunning twist: When
Gina cocksuredly explained to Charles that Adrian just needed to be ”alpha’d,” Charlies slyly
and rhetorically asked, ”Is that what happened, or did I just beta you into protecting me,” leaving
Gina checkmated. Charles Boyle: You beta believe he knows himself.
The other story line involved a bomb-diffusing class that pitted Amy and Rosa against each
other. While Holt scolded the pair for their petty competitiveness, he ultimately showed himself to
be more competitive than both of them combined in a surge of I-win-and-you-can-both-suck-it
juvenile behavior that felt incongruous with his stoic, oversensible character, a man who just
recently wished that the sky were tan.

Paranoia
Season 3
Episode Number: 65
Season Episode: 20

Director: Payman Benz
Guest Stars: Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento), Alek Cole (Anthony), Bob Mi-
nor (Will Yuarint), Jonathan Root (Man in Town Car), Max Silvestri
(Patrick)
Summary: Rosa asks Jake to help her change Terry’s disapproving opinion on
her relationship with Adrian Pimento, but her romance is put on hold
when Pimento believes someone from his past is attempting to kill him.
The episode opened with Adrian and Rosa

gleefully recounting a big drug bust to
their fellow detectives at the precinct, and
Rosa casually shoehorning in the news
that they had gotten engaged. Cue in-
credulous reactions and then a flash-
back of the ”super romantic” moment,
which was actually a shockingly matter-
of-fact marriage proposal: Pimento briefly
paused while running down a criminal
to ask Diaz, ”Okay, wait, you wanna
get married?”; she responded with a
”Yup”; they both resumed the chase. And
so it set into motion a very entertain-
ing episode involving their bachelor and
bachelorette parties, with the Jake-organized outing ending in the beyond-buzzkilling revelation
that not only was Adrian was right that Jimmy was trying to kill him, but that this hit was
authorized by someone inside the FBI.
For whatever reason, the previous episode, ”Terry Kitties,” missed the opportunity to further
build/explore the brand-new couple’s turbo-charged, wound-too-tight connection before making
this week’s crazy leap. (Instead it focused on Adrian being a terrible roommate to Charles —
though that story did end with a fun, self-aware twist). But by the end of this episode, Brooklyn
— and Stephanie Beatriz, in particular — managed to make you care a bit about this ridiculous
romance (Piaz? Dimento? Yeah, definitely Dimento) with an emotionally charged scene: Feeling
like he had no choice but to flee town after faking his own death, Adrian ran away without saying
goodbye to his bride-to-be, leaving Jake to handle the fallout. But as Jake gently took Rosa for a
walk to let her down, there did Adrian appear on the street in religious disguise, prompting Rosa
to run right into his arms, an earnest, tearful reunion that was tempered with a face slap (Rosa:
”You scared me — I thought you left!”), and comically balanced with another hit of their creepy
flirtatious banter (Adrian: ”I want to lick your whole body clean like a kitty cat”) that included his
promise of a return one day.
135
The episode split the gang in two for most of the episode without feeling disjointed (an oc-
casional problem on Brooklyn), the action flipping smoothly back and forth between the two
parties — or make that four, counting Rosa’s three parties. To kick off the boys’ night out, Jake
hired a party bus, which Adrian promptly hijacked as he was convinced that someone was out
to murder him, a theory that, like Adrian’s proposal, Terry was not a fan of. Adrian’s suspicion
was debunked at first when he took the boys on a wild bus chase that dead-ended at a vacant
building but later was validated when the waiter at dinner tried to draw a gun on him. ”Just be-
cause you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they’re not out to get you” is not just a saying; it’s a Pimento
mantra.
Meanwhile, the girls — including Charles, who was totally fine with having been named a
co-maid of honor with watered-down ice cubes, Amy, and Gina — had their own flurry of fun,
throwing Rosa competing parties when they couldn’t agree on a a single theme. Gina took the
group to play paintball, which meant viciously paint-murdering her nephew and his friends. Amy
hosted a trivia game that ended with a drink penalty for every question about Rosa answered
incorrectly, resulting in everyone getting blotto, given that her life is a question mark dipped in
dry ice. And they saved the best for last, as Charles hosted a demolition party at the restaurant
La Petite Colon, where the girls smashed plates and sledgehammered through the walls while
Charles lost himself in a container of food. Rosa would declare him the bachelorette party victor,
making Charles an unexpected winner in back-to-back episodes.

Episode Number: 66
Season Episode: 21
Originally aired: Tuesday April 5, 2016

Guest Stars: Carrie Armstrong (Roena Luesto), Nicole J. Butler (Sylvia Dunnes),
Charmel Catrell (Martie), Joshua Feinman (Mystery Guest), Paul
Mabon (Officer Lou), Christopher Riordan (High Five Mourner),
Jonathan Root (Agent Ryan Whelan), Aida Turturro (Maura Figgis)
Summary: Amy goes undercover at a women’s prison and must befriend an in-
mate in order to gain intel on a case. Elsewhere, Holt and the team
stage a fake funeral in an attempt to catch a hit man.
Holt reminds us in a bit of opening expo-

sition that Adrian Pimento is still on the
run, having faked his own death and de-
serted his engagement to Rosa after the
Mob boss he worked for while undercover
put a hit on him. Unfortunately, since
Jimmy ”The Butcher” Figgis has an FBI
agent on the take, the precinct can’t just
arrest him—and they also have no clue
who the double agent might be, aside
from the prominent scar that Jake saw
on his hand. So they decide to take a two-
pronged approach: embedding a member
of the squad in women’s prison, where
they hope she can cozy up to Figgis’s sis-
ter and learn more about his operation, and throwing a fake funeral for Pimento, in the hopes
that the double agent will show up.
Neither of these strategies pack a whole lot of logic as investigative tactics but they both work
pretty well as comic premises. The prison operation is centered around a somewhat obvious
but still enjoyable plot line: Even though Rosa is the most logical candidate for an undercover
stint in a women’s prison (Holt: ”She’s terrifying.” Rosa: ”Thank you, sir.”), she’s already a known
quantity to Maura Figgis. So it’s up to nerdy Amy to convincingly simulate a penitentiary-hopping
badass.
The opportunity is a breakout one both for Amy and for Melissa Fumero, who’s been increas-
ingly trapped behind desks and tables as she enters the later months of her pregnancy. To keep
her in close contact with her handlers, Jake and Boyle, the operation’s ruse is that she’s seven
months pregnant, and they’re her OB-GYNs. (”I don’t know if it’s realistic,” she says in a winking
moment as Andy Samberg fondles her ”fake” belly.)
Unfortunately, while Amy takes to prison intimidation surprisingly well, contesting Maura
for control of the prison’s contraband operation, Jake is the one who’s getting cold feet—he’s
137
terrified Amy will get hurt, and keeps yanking her out of situations where she’s about to step to
Maura, reminding her that prison isn’t High School Musical. (Or High School Musical 2. Or High
School Musical 3: Senior Year.) His fear for her ends up being a nice way for the show to play into
their romantic relationship, which has been as back-burnered for most of the season as their
will-they-or-won’t-they arc was.
In a particularly sweet scene, both of them admit to being more freaked-out than they thought
they’d be about dating a fellow cop, each worrying that the other might be in real danger. Of
course, this is Brooklyn Nine-Nine, so the conversation is had with hopeless romantic Charles
in the background, getting increasingly frustrated as to why they won’t go to comfort each other.
Needless to say, he’s over the moon about the pair’s nonexistent baby.
Slightly less successful, but still pretty funny, is the department’s attempt to create the rest
of the frills around Pimento’s ”death,” namely forging a death certificate and a case file — with
Hitchcock as the ”bloated” corpse — and throwing a fake funeral. The show’s already been to the
goofing-off-at-a-funeral well this season, with the sendoff for Bill Hader’s extremely short-lived
Capt. Dozerman, but the conceit of high-fiving people in order to find the double agent’s telltale
scar is amusing, as is Rosa’s complete and utter failure at playing the role of grieving widow.
(”Ugh, this church is so quiet.” Terry: ”I think that’s pretty normal for a moment of silence.”)

Bureau
Season 3
Episode Number: 67
Season Episode: 22

Writer: David Phillips, Alison Agosti
Director: Ryan Case
Guest Stars: Nicole J. Butler (Sylvia Dunnes), Dennis Haysbert (Bob Anderson),
Aida Turturro (Maura Figgis), Ben Zelevansky (Phil)
Summary: Captain Holt calls on an old friend to help with a seemingly impossible
heist. Elsewhere: Amy makes a breakthrough while undercover and
Terry and Gina unearth an information leak in the Nine-Nine.
As Holt recaps in the opening, case No.

225641441636324 (which comes from
assigning a numerical value to each let-
ter in the word ”Pimento,” then squaring
it) has hit a roadblock: With imprisoned
Amy still unable to get useful information
out of Maura Figgis, the precinct is strug-
gling to figure out the identity of the FBI
double agent with a scarred hand who or-
dered the hit on Adrian. So, in a bit of in-
spired casting, Holt calls in his old pal at
the FBI, Bob Anderson, who’s played by
Dennis Haysbert. As Haysbert and Andre
Braugher have more than a few things in common, it’s not a surprise that Anderson is essentially
just a second Holt (Jake: ”Oh my God, there’s two of them!”), a prospect that’s just as fun as it
sounds, because there is no such thing as too much of a good thing when it comes to Holt. (That,
of course, doesn’t apply to Holt and Anderson themselves, who are such rule-following straight
arrows that they consider it overkill to consume both chocolate and nuts in a single candy bar.)
Anderson immediately knows the identity of the double agent whom the cops have dubbed
”ScarJo”: Special Agent Ryan Whealon (Jonathan Root). After sending Jake to confirm the ID
in an ill-advised magazine-stand operation that leads him to read a title called Clown Boobies,
Jake, Holt, and Rosa dispatch Anderson to get the FBI files on Whealon and Jimmy Figgis — but
they’ve been digitally wiped. So the quartet plan a heist to get into the FBI building and snag
the hard copy of the case file, with each assigned a key task. In Rosa’s case, that’s doing enough
yoga to fit into the bottom of a mail cart (”It helps keep me centered. If you ask me about it again,
I’ll hunt you down and rip your face off”), while Terry is dispatched to teach Jake to do his first
pull-up, something he only manages to pull off by screaming a lot.
The best part, though, is that Holt has to learn about Sex and the City (which he initially
thinks is two different shows) in order to chat up a TV-obsessed guard, which leads to an ex-
tended version of one of my favorite genres of B99 joke: Holt trying to make sense of pop culture.
(Remember, this is a guy who thinks ”The Bachelor is a television show” and ”Andre Agassi is
at it again” are good conversation starters.) I’m not a die-hard SATC fan by any means, but if
139
you don’t think Andre Braugher describing himself as ”such a Samantha” after making a double
entendre and being shocked by Miranda choosing Steve over Blake Underwood is funny, then
you have no soul.
In any case, the heist goes off swimmingly: Jake gets the case file, and Anderson saves the
day by vouching for him and Holt after the guard gets suspicious about Jake’s pass. With the
information in hand, they have enough to arrest Whealon (or, as Rosa would prefer, ”groin-stomp”
him), but they end up finding him shot on his living room floor, having apparently been burned
by Figgis. Luckily, Whealon survives, and they’re confident they’ll be able to get him to testify
against Figgis when he emerges from his coma.
Meanwhile, in prison in Texas, Amy and Charles are still struggling to get any useful info out
of Maura, who’s accepted Amy into her gang but isn’t the most emotionally forthcoming person.
Charles, who’s posing as a doctor, is particularly anxious because he and Genevieve, after not
lucking out with fertility treatments, are waiting for an adoption to go through. Unfortunately,
Maura mistakes Amy’s congratulatory hug about Charles becoming a dad for the two of them
carrying on a relationship, and immediately insists on being given full access to the ”sensitive”
new prison OB-GYN and his bubble butt. (Charles: ”Curse this perfect butt!”) It goes about as
well as you’d imagine, with her more or less sexually assaulting him — only to lose her shit when
Genevieve calls and informs Charles that the adoption has gone through.
Finding out that Charles is taken is enough to send Maura into an emotional tailspin, and she
details all her failed relationships with her brother’s pals to Amy — which, apparently, includes
Ryan Whealon. The bad news is that her list of exes also, apparently, includes Bob Anderson. As
it turns out, Holt’s doppelgänger was actually a double agent all along, and ”Bureau” ends with
a credibly tense scene in which he’s apparently smothered Whealon in his hospital bed, and now
has a gun trained on Holt. While Peralta would have mugged and grinned his way through such
a situation, Braugher and Haysbert’s dramatic skills really make it pop.
The missing link in the episode, unfortunately, is the Gina and Terry plot, which gets way
too much time for something that’s completely unrelated to the larger Pimento case. Basically,
someone’s leaked the department’s arrest numbers, and Terry is hell-bent on smoking them out
and punishing them. After rejecting the obvious choice — the idiocy of Scully and Hitchcock —
Terry’s scrutiny turns to Gina, and in a bit of real talk that’s unusual for B99, accuses her of
not taking her job seriously. (Gina: ”We’re about to have our first fight, Terrence.”) Of course,
Gina is actually one of the precinct’s better detectives, despite not actually being employed as
one, and she quickly deduces that Terry was the source of the leak, via a #yogurtlife selfie in
front of the whiteboard with the relevant stats. It’s a subplot that could have worked well in a
more chopped-up episode, but in terms of supporting the larger plot of this arc, I wish a different
choice had been made, even if it meant sidelining Terry and Gina to their personal-trainer and
SATC coach duties.

Greg and Larry

Season 3
Episode Number: 68
Season Episode: 23

Writer: Andrew Guest, Phil Augusta Jackson
Director: Dan Goor
Guest Stars: Alixandrée Antoine (Endy), Seth Carr (Young Holt), Brett Easton
(Melv Velvet), Tisha French (Noelle Cohen), Kristin Hensley (Blarn),
Fitz Houston (Berj Jones), Clinton Lewis (Eugene), Cristin McAlister
(Betty), Jonathan Root (Agent Ryan Whealon), Dennis Haysbert (Bob
Anderson)
Summary: The precinct must come together to rescue Holt after an attempt to
locate Adrian Pimento’s hit man.
Amy and Charles are still undercover in a

women’s prison in Texas, when it comes
to light that Bob betrayed the precinct.
Melissa Fumero remains very pregnant,
and that means incorporating her into
any action scenes requires a contrived
reason for Amy to wear a fake belly. So in-
stead, the episode stalls for time, sticking
Amy and Charles on a plane home where
she has to continue the pregnancy ruse
to keep the sympathy seats she managed
to score in first class. They’re a cute duo
(especially when they order sundaes and
talk about their fears for the rest of the squad), but they suck much-needed time and tension
out of the main story.
Most of that central plot is leaden way-finding around a hospital, as Jake, Rosa, Scully, and
Hitchcock try to figure out where Bob has taken Holt. Once they find and capture Bob (with a
surprise assist from Terry and Gina), then they have to wander around some more in the guise
of doctors and nurses to get around Jimmy Figgis’s men. There could have been a lot of tension
and action in these scenes, especially since calling for backup is off the table, given Figgis’s
moles in the NYPD and FBI. But the episode mostly plays it slow-pitch, taking lots of time to
linger on jokes about the realism of Grey’s Anatomy (Terry: ”That show is surprisingly accurate.”
Jake: ”Yeah, the one episode I watched, there was a bomb in the guy’s butt!”) and Hitchcock’s
propensity for sticking any unusual substance on the walls straight into his mouth.
Eventually, everyone manages to break free and get into Rosa’s apartment, where it’s revealed
that Rosa lives a complete double life — her place looks like it belongs in a home-decor maga-
zine, complete with jars of lemons for a ”pop f color” and basil-scented candles. Everyone in the
building knows her as Emily Goldfinch, who is apparently chatty and smiles all the time. She
also hints that Rosa Diaz may also not be her real name — wonder if we’ll ever hear anything
more on that subject?
141
After some more fooling around with each member of the squad failing to adequately question
Bob, the episode finally picks up the pace a bit with a sniper scene that involves some ducking
and dodging. But once Holt, Bob, Scully, and Hitchcock are ensconced in a panic room, the rest
of the tension quickly drops out — the whole sniper thing is immediately revealed as a ruse, and
most of the denouement is spent explaining how the squad pulled it off. While we do get to see
Amy and Charles pulling the fake sniper operation off via flashback, most of the other action
occurs offscreen, adding to the episode’s already flabby pace.
By minute 19, everything is wrapped up and the squad is celebrating at the bar, where Jake
and Amy, in a continuation of television’s most underplayed romance, decide to move in together
in the space of about three sentences. I appreciate that the show doesn’t want to throw unneces-
sary roadblocks in this couple’s path, but it’s still unbelievably timid about foregrounding their
romance in an appropriate place like a finale. Presumably, the season-four finale will wrap up
with 20 seconds of the most low-key proposal in sitcom history.
Then, the big closing reversal: Although the Nine-Nine’s detective work brought in dozens of
members of Figgis’s operation, Figgis himself is still nowhere to be found (which means Pimento
can’t come home). Suddenly, Jake receives a voice-modulated phone call from Figgis himself,
saying he plans to kill Holt and Jake in retribution for bringing down his operation.
Cut to a month later, in Florida. Holt and Jake are now next-door neighbors, and they’re
calling each other Greg and Larry, which means they’re in witness protection. The end.

Season Four
Coral Palms, Pt.1

Season 4
Episode Number: 69
Season Episode: 1

Writer: Dan Goor
Guest Stars: Susan Berger (Ruth), Billy Ray Gallion (Hestus), Georgie Guinane
(Carly), Andrew Montanez (Jeff), Rhea Perlman (Estelle), Maya
Rudolph (U.S. Marshal Karen Haas), Betsy Sodaro (Jordan Carfton),
Jorma Taccone (Taylor), Algerita Wynn (Judy-Jill Lenda)
Summary: Jake and Holt continue their new lives in Florida under the Witness
Protection Program while Jimmy remains at large, but their identities
may be revealed after a video of the pair goes viral.
The episode opens up in a new location:

the hellish landscape known as Florida.
Not to knock the state, but for Detective
Jake Peralta and Capt. Ray Holt, they’re
a long ways away from solving crimes
in Brooklyn. While they took comfort in
the mean streets of the NYC borough,
the sunny southern state certainly takes
them out of their comfort zone. Forced
to go into witness protection while hiding
out from the unseen crime lord Jimmy
Figgis, Jake and Holt can’t exactly keep
up their cover.
Now living in Florida thanks to the Witness Protection Program, ”Greg” a.k.a. Captain Holt
and ”Larry” a.k.a. Jake Peralta are trying to adjust to their new lives. Greg seems to acclimate
himself amongst the elder residents with a power-walking routine while trying to mask his sexual
orientation by pretending he has an ex-wife. Larry on the other hand is quite depressed over his
new living arrangement and ends up in a job selling ATVs (or do they sell themselves?). Gone is
the thrill-a-minute job of busting criminals in Brooklyn and Jake finds himself crying and eating
a burrito in a hot tub, much to Holt’s disgust.
While Jake hates his new job, Capt. Holt certainly adjusts well to his new profession: working
at the Frank’s Fun Zone family arcade restaurant chain. His work ambition carries over as he
seeks the Assistant Manager position, despite being much older than his boss Taylor. Jake and
Holt later meet up with U.S. Marshal Karen Haas for a routine check-in. As they remain stuck
in their new identities, Jimmy ”The Butcher” Figgis eludes the police and thus keeping Jake and
Holt stuck in Florida.
Unsatisfied with his new job, Jake maintains his sanity by keeping up with his own inves-
tigation on Figgis, including piecing together clues in a storage center room. Ever the sleuth,
Holt follows Jake and uncovers his plan. Turns out the ATV sales job was a cover for Jake just
to expedite the investigation and thus reunite with his love Detective Amy Santiago. Once Holt
145
confronts Jake, he instructs him to get a job, to which Jake usurps Holt at the arcade chain and
gets hired as the Assistant Manager.
Now that the tables have turned in their working relationship, Holt can’t stand Jake’s new
authority (or his threat of taking over his walking group). As the two bicker out on the go-kart
track with Holt in a hot dog costume, a go-kart rider runs him over while another takes out Jake.
Unfortunately for them, an on-looker happens to capture a video of it on her smart phone, which
could possibly blow their cover. Using their detective skills, they’re able to track her down.
Locating the woman to her job at a local school, Jake poses as a pest control specialist who
ends up taking care of the school’s snake problem. Holt meanwhile is able to sneak in and
identifies the woman as Jordan Carfton from the school’s computer system. Upon confronting
Jordan at her home, she reveals she hasn’t shared the photo online yet (ran out of data from
too much porn browsing). Jake and Holt arrange for a bribery exchange despite not having the
funds.
Jake comes up with the cash... sort of. He tries to disguise 15 grand with some twenties on top
of corn dog coupons. During the exchange, Jordon hands over the phone as she sorts through
the cash. Before Jake could delete the video, Jordan discovers the trickery and kicks her phone
out from Jake. As she takes off, Jake is able to save the day (and earn a little bit of respect from
Holt) by revealing he swapped her phone with his own.
Jake has now relinquished his job as Assistant Manager while Holt assumes the role. Despite
being career driven in any line of work, Holt becomes disillusioned upon learning that it could
take years before being promoted to Night Manager. Jake on the other hand got the job of selling
ATVs while trying to make the best of his situation.
Unhappy, Holt realizes that finding Figgis is their best chance to returning to their old lives.
Upon giving Jake back his files on the case, Holt figures the only way to capture the crime lord is
to make themselves the bait. The video was never deleted from the phone and Holt hopes upon
uploading it to the internet, Figgis will be forced to come looking for them.

Coral Palms, Pt.2

Season 4
Episode Number: 70
Season Episode: 2

Guest Stars: Susan Berger (Ruth), Jeremy Lawson (Mitch), Ken Marino (Captain
C.J.), Jim O’Heir (Sheriff Reynolds), Esther Povitsky (Emily), Maya
Rudolph (U.S. Marshal Karen Haas)
Summary: Jake and Holt end up on the other side of the interrogation table after
being caught plotting an attack on Figgis. Meanwhile, a questionable
new captain takes over at the precinct.
Still under witness protection Jake and

Capt. Holt meet with U.S. Marshal Karen
Haas inside an empty movie theater. Un-
der their guises as Larry and Greg, Jake
a.k.a. Larry is starting to feel a tad bit
lonely, so Haas grants Amy a one-time
correspondence letter to Jake.
Upon their next meeting to discuss
their investigation of Figgis, ”Greg” and
”Larry” relax in a hot tub as friendly
neighbors as to not bring any unwanted
attention. It’s here that Capt. Holt reveals
a man with a thick New Jersey accent
had called their employment at The Fun
Zone asking to meet the men behind last
episode’s viral video. Fearing they’re being targeted, Jake and Holt decide to arm themselves and
make a trip to the local gun store.
While Jake’s more than happy at the thought of finally leaving sweat-drenched Florida, Holt
has to remind Jake of the dangerous task at hand. Soon enough they’re pulled over by the local
sheriff. Sheriff Reynolds suspects some shenanigans when he spots a pile of guns and a literal
bucket of bullets in their back seat.
Back in Brooklyn, Amy is ecstatic about finally communicating with Jake and delivers the
news to the rest of the gang. As Rosa only wishes to convey a head nod in the letter, and new
and improved Gina wants to be selfless and only wishes Jake for his safety. Of course she also
wants the entire letter to be all about her new personality change.
With Holt gone, the Nine-Nine are introduced to their new boss: Captain C.J., who prefers to
keep things informal (he shows up on his first day wearing sweatpants). Fearing their new boss
may be unqualified is exacerbated by C.J. revealing he got the gig by stumbling on a drug bust
and somehow getting the perps to surrender. Perhaps it’s a joke on police bureaucracy, but C.J.
seems to be in over his head and insists the rest of the precinct do work under their own pace.
Gina seems to be the only one thrilled as she gets to hire her own assistant to basically do all of
her own work.
147
Amy meets with the others in secret in hoping to draft a letter to the head of the police union
asking to have Capt. C.J. replaced. However, Gina is finally in work bliss and wants C.J. to stay
simply to ”keep the gravy train rolling.” As office administrator, Gina convinces all but Amy to get
them what they want in terms of office resources as C.J. would say yes to anything. Rosa gets
a cubicle around her desk while Boyle gets to walk on a treadmill under his work station. And
poor Terry was easily manipulated with his own yogurt fridge.
At the police station, Sheriff Reynolds uses his law enforcement skills to get to the bottom
of these two armed men. ”Everything I learned about interrogation I learned from The Dating
Game,” Sheriff Reynolds says as he tries to see if Jake and Holt’s answers match up during
questioning. Unable to keep their story straight, Jake and Holt are locked up.
Hoping to get out, Jake and Holt reveal their identities as police detectives and their mission to
bring down Figgis while remaining in witness protection. This certainly doesn’t fly with Reynolds
as he bursts out laughing to their ”story.” He further can’t believe their U.S. Marshals contact
is a woman. Wanting to play along, Reynolds calls the U.S. Marshals office and informs the two
the person on the other line is a man. Jake takes hold of the phone and it’s Figgis. He’s captured
Haas and now he’s after them.
Still in jail as sitting ducks, Jake proposes they form their own ”suicide squad” of other
inmates to organize a prison break. Unfortunately none of the others possess any special skills
except for urinating in public and smoking crystal meth. As they’re able to get two officers away
from their desk, Jake and Holt stage a prison fight much to the sheriff’s delight. In a last ditch
attempt, Jake kisses Holt and the homophobic sheriff won’t allow that at his station. Trying to
break them apart, Jake and Holt successfully lock him inside.
Now on the outside, Jake keeps insisting they contact the Nine-Nine for assistance. Holt
remains steadfast in solving the case on his own. Sensing that something’s up, Jake gets Holt
to admit that he doesn’t want the Nine-Nine to bail him out a second time. Feeling embarrassed
over not apprehending crooked F.B.I. agent Bob Annderson last season by himself, Holt wants to
clean up his own mess for once.
While Amy had sent in her letter on her own, Gina and her new assistant Emily sent in a
hundred more asking for C.J. to stay. Gina finally found happiness in her work as Emily is
basically her own ”mini-me.” The two even take great pleasure in mocking Amy. Fed up, Amy
has to remind everyone of the leadership role Holt had and his effect on making the rest of the
precinct better detectives.
Feeling guilty, the Nine-Nine detectives admit they were taking advantage of the clueless C.J.
and return their new toys. But reforming their boss came at the worse time. Once Capt. Holt
agreed to ask for the Nine-Nine’s assistance, Terry gets the call. Alerting the rest of the detectives,
they ask for 72 hours off to go to Florida. Unfortunately C.J. has learned to say ”no” to his
subordinates and does not allow them time off. For Amy, she can’t help but feel bad over the
monster she created.

Guest Stars: Peter Banifaz (Rob), Doreene L. Hamilton (Gemma), Bo Kane (John
Lux), Ken Marino (Captain C.J.), Karen Y. McClain (Ann Lurks), Jim
O’Heir (Sheriff Reynolds), Eric Roberts (Jimmy Figgis)
Summary: The team take a road trip to Florida to help Jake and Holt take down
Jimmy Figgis, but an unexpected injury and Sheriff Reynolds thwart
their plan. Then, Jake and Amy have an awkward reunion.
In this third episode the concluding

Florida arc finds Holt and Jake on the
run after escaping prison. Their Nine-
Nine partners are always there to come
through, even if it’s against the command
of their new dim-witted, unlikable boss.
And we finally get to see the man be-
hind the reputation, Jimmy Figgis, who
becomes Jake’s biggest adversary to date
and the two finally square off.
Soon after Holt and Jake’s prison es-
cape from the previous episode, the local
news reports on the fugitives on the run.
Sheriff Reynolds is interviewed and relays
the story of their daring escape (which in-
volved kissing each other). Trying to lay low in a convenience store, Jake and Holt play it cool at
the counter until the clerk spots their photos on the TV news. They make a run for it and jump
into a dumpster. Unfortunately for Holt, his leg becomes impaled on a metal pipe. Ouch. But he
plays it cool while Jake can’t hold back his disgust.
Jake is able to get Holt into his storage facility and scrounges for some medical supplies. Upon
removing the pipe himself, Holt goes ahead to stitch himself back up again as Jake can’t bear to
look at it without vomiting. Trying to soften their situation, Holt changes the conversation about
Jake’s feelings towards Amy returning. Jake fears they’ve grown apart (or that she’d be disgusted
by his frosted tips) and is still nervous over their reunion.
Back at the Nine-Nine, the detectives prep for their rescue but Terry tells them their new
boss Captain C.J. still forbids them from going. ”He said if we disobey him, they’ll be tire conse-
quences. I think he meant dire, that’s real dumb.” Rescuing Holt and Jake has come to be much
more important in not only saving their friends, but to get Holt back in his rightful place and
boot their dummy superior.
Making their trek down won’t come fast enough as no plane tickets were available but at least
Terry has his minivan. ”Road trip!” Boyle exclaims as the only one excited to be cooped up in
149
Terry’s van. Diaz is squished between Hitchcock and Scully. Amy tries to lighten the mood with
useless trivia and Gina is not having any of it up front with her lack of traveling luxuries.
After going out for some food, a customer recognizes Jake from somewhere so he bolts it out
of there. Upon warning Holt their cover might be blown back at the storage center, the door
begins to open. Fearing it’s Figgis, Jake takes charge with a knife but to his surprise it’s Amy,
who instantly punches him in the throat as a reactionary defense. After greetings are done, Jake
forms a plan to go on the offensive against Figgis. Holt is still in a lot of pain so Gina, the only
civilian of the group volunteers to stay behind. After being denied Terry’s gun for protection, she
pulls out her own gun, which she got from a rest-stop vending machine.
The detectives establish The Fun Zone as their home base of operations. Terry and Boyle
compete for the most loving video goodbyes to their kids if in the event they don’t make it out
alive. But things remain awkward between Jake and Amy. Sexual signals are being crossed and
they can’t even communicate how they really feel about each other. For now, they decide to carry
out their mission. Jake calls Figgis to lure him in. Just as Figgis is in the mood to kill tonight,
Jake makes it clear he’s at the Fun Zone as the gang simulates noises in the background.
Prepping for the possibility of getting killed on duty, Jake and Amy try to kiss but again is
interrupted, this time by Jake who for some odd reason decided to spill that he previously kissed
Holt to get out of jail. As their life or death situation grows imminent, Jake can’t seem to focus on
his real emotions and before he knows it, Figgis is pulling into the parking lot. As Figgis’s men
make their way inside, they’re picked off one-by-one as the detectives strike from behind.
Figgis makes his way outside to the mini-golf course but Jake is quick to draw his gun on him
from behind. Blaming Figgis for ruining his life (at least in terms of making him live in Florida for
six months), Jake is just about to make his long-awaited capture. That is until Sheriff Reynolds
surprises him from behind at gunpoint. After Jake is forced to drop his weapon, Figgis shoots
Reynolds and takes Jake hostage.
The rest of the Nine-Nine are holed up inside as a local officer has them held. After some quick
maneuvering thanks to Diaz, Amy makes her way outside to confront Figgis. Jake gives her a
look and she interprets it as shooting Jake in the leg. After she makes the shot, Jake screams in
pain but admits it was his intention. Basing the idea from a scene in the movie Speed (but not
as good as Die Hard), Jake instructs Amy to follow Figgis to which she corners him in his car.
Just as Figgis is about to drive away, Holt and Gina come to the rescue after they lifted a de-
livery truck from the storage center. Upon crashing into Figgis’s car, the Nine-Nine finally make
their capture. Jake gets stitched up in the back of an ambulance where Amy finally has the
chance to have their long-overdue talk. After another successful bust with adrenaline-fueled ac-
tion, the two finally feel in sync together like their Brooklyn days. They finally kiss and exchange
”I Love You’s.”
With Figgis in jail, all seems right in the world. The gang is back in Brooklyn and Jake can
finally get rid of those frosted tips. However, the detectives’ excursion down south comes with
consequences. As they report back and ask for forgiveness, Captain C.J. can’t help but discipline
them for the insubordination. He has re-assigned them all to... the night shift! As Terry screams
out in terror, we can’t help but wonder if this will carry out to the remainder of the season.

Season Episode: 4

Writer: Matt Murray
Guest Stars: Zooey Deschanel (Jess Day), Matt Walsh (Detective Lohank), Antonio
Raul Corbo (Nikolaj), Juan Alfonso (Mel Szeriank), Neil Campbell (Ian
Britches), Minerva Garcı́a (Jennifer), Norma Michaels (Mildred Lench),
Adwin Brown (Dylan), Rick Williamson (Janitor)
Summary: A crossover event that concludes on ”New Girl” begins with Jake en-
listing Jess’ help with a case during her visit to New York. Meanwhile,
Holt researches methods to improve office morale; and Amy wonders
why Rosa takes such long breaks.
Things are returning to normal at the

Nine-Nine, now that Jake got his frosted
tips cut off (though it took an intervention
to convince him). However, he’s sporting
a cane due to the bullet wound in the leg
thanks to Amy in their attempts to cap-
ture Jimmy Figgis. Jake doesn’t receive
the hero’s welcome he was hoping for as
the rest of the detectives remain bummed
out over their new night-time hours.
After six months away in the sun-
drenched Florida jungle, Jake is eager to
start putting perps behind bars. He re-
teams with Boyle to investigate a robbery
at a jewelry store. To solve the case they
must think like the criminals. They create an epic backstory to role-play as two French cat
burglars (though Boyle always comes up with his character contracting an STD).
Luckily they find a discarded cigarette butt at the crime scene as their first piece of evidence
and Jake is more determined than ever. Unfortunately the night shift is proving less glamorous
for the two. Even when they encounter a lonely stir-crazy crime lab technician, the two begin to
fear this could be their future.
Capt. Holt immediately recognizes the low morale amongst his troops and tries out a few jokes
in front of Terry. ”I don’t care for cheese... I’m a curd-mudgeon.” Well, that certainly fell on deaf
ears. Later, Holt instructs the crew to sport some massive smiles and forced laughing, neither of
which are successful.
The following morning Holt tries to liven up the precinct with a designated party space inside
the break room to unwind after the shift. Holt turns on some John Philip Sousa marching band
music (”the Skrillex of his day”) but that doesn’t get the group moving. With everyone completely
exhausted, Holt gives up and relents in his own misery of their situation.
151
Amy isn’t making the transition well, either. Even her favorite task of paperwork seems more
tiresome when done at night. As she tries to adjust with Rosa by her side, Amy becomes annoyed
with Rosa leaving to a secret location. Gone multiple times during the night, Amy won’t let up
in getting her to crack. During a walk in the park on her break with Scully and Hitchcock, Amy
spots Rosa sitting on a bench and snaps a photo of her without being seen.
After their shift is over Amy confronts Rosa but surprised as Rosa displays a rare form of
emotion as she gets teary-eyed. The reason she left so many times was that the bench is the
designated meeting place for her and fiancé Officer Adrian Pimento, who went into hiding to
avoid Figgis. Now with Figgis behind bars, Rosa is getting worried Adrian is in danger after losing
contact with him so long ago.
Amy apologizes and tries to reassure Rosa that Adrian is still very much safe and will even-
tually return. After Amy volunteers to take on Rosa’s paperwork, Rosa can’t help but reminisce
over her and Adrien’s weird sexual fetishes, much to Amy’s disgust.
Jake and Boyle catch a break as they identify the suspect as Dave Smith. Yet their productivity
remains at a standstill as multiple precincts they visit to file the evidence takes up too much of
their time. Before they know it the sun comes up and thus the end of their shift. Boyle returns
home to his son Nikolaj but Jake stops by after learning one of Smith’s last known addresses is
only two blocks away.
Determined to capture his suspect as soon as possible, Jake is forced to go it alone as Boyle
wants to spend time with Nikolaj. Upon reaching the front door, Smith spots Jake, makes a run
for it and hops on his motorcycle. Poor Jake and his limited mobility is forced to commandeer
the first car on the street. And who happens to be driving that car? Why, it’s Jess Day from New
Girl on Fox. ”It’s a crossover... it’s a Crossover SUV and you can’t have it,” Jess exclaims to him
in a meta-turn for the series.
Finally complying, Jess moves to the passenger seat as Jake speeds through traffic to catch
his perp. In typical tourist fashion, Jess is overwhelmed by the mean streets of New York City.
However, her top priority remains the protection of her soup. After swerving away from a garbage
truck, Jake crashes into a newspaper stand and the suspect gets away. ”Well, I spilled my soup.
You tell me which is worse,” an annoyed Jess says much to Jake’s bewilderment.
Feeling defeated, Jake gets a talk from Detective Lohank who has reinvigorated his own out-
look now that he’s on the day shift (Lohank’s previous night shift assignment made his life pa-
thetic). Lohank determines that Jake would feel more fulfilled if he got more involved in Boyle’s
life, especially now that he has a son. So Jake makes the first step by gifting Nikolaj with a toy
truck, which obviously fills Boyle with all the feels.
Amy and the rest of the crew resolve that the best way to boost morale is the determination
for them all to get transferred back to the day shift. After handing Holt a beverage to toast, Holt’s
mood is already improving as he requests someone to crank up the Sousa in order for him to
”get wild.”
The episode will conclude in New Girls S06E04 titled “Homecoming”.

Season Episode: 5

Guest Stars: Winston Story (Bill), Johnny Glasser (Pizza Delivery Guy), Cynthia
Rose Hall (Deepa Dish), Deep Rai (Andy Chovy), Derek Viveiros (Brad
Stick)
Summary: The squad compete in the precinct’s annual Halloween heist in hopes
of winning this year’s title of Ultimate Detective Slash Genius.
It’s the fourth annual Halloween Heist

and no one is more excited than Jake.
However, reigning champion Amy tries
to get the ball rolling before being in-
terrupted with Jake sounding off with
some air horns. Yet the two are usurped
by Capt. Holt and his entrance complete
with a marching band. Trash talking be-
gins as we’re ready for the bloodbath to
break out.
Hoping the fourth year will declare
a winner from the three-way tie, Jake
presents the ”Ultimate Detective/Genius”
plaque that will be awarded to the victor.
The plaque is locked in Amy’s old caboo-
dle to be placed in the middle of the room. Terry on the other hand believes the Heist brings out
the worst in people and asks to not take any part in it.
The three are each allowed an assistant with Amy picking Rosa while Holt throws Jake for a
loop by picking Boyle, who was always Jake’s go-to guy. Jake reluctantly picks Gina despite his
lack of trust in her roller-skating skills. While Boyle is happy to be on Team Holt, he’s ultimately
let go due to his closeness with Jake and Holt goes it alone.
With the three teams behind closed doors around the office, Jake first appears to have the
upper hand by initially hiring a Boyle look-a-like named Bill but has to improvise by putting him
in a wig to match Gina. With the decoy and Jake in one corner, Gina is able to sneak out and hide
behind a mail cart and covertly locks the doors from the outside of the other two contestants. Now
with the plaque within his grasp, Jake is about to win but a determined Holt breaks a window
to get loose. Panicked, Jake throws the plaque to Gina who tries to skate away but knocks head
first into a wall, knocking out two front teeth.
Feeling sorry, Jake offers to drive Gina to the dentist but she resists, preferring to go alone.
Holt on the other hand is more determined than ever to continue (”Let’s mop up this blood and
get back at it”). The Heist is to be reset against Jake’s wishes and Holt gains an ally as Boyle
agrees to reset. As Holt brings Boyle back on board, Jake is forced to choose Bill (who may or
may not be a prostitute).
153
As a new round begins, fingers start pointing as dozens of pizza delivery people show up with
an order for Holt. During the melee, everyone gets lost in the shuffle around the plaque locked
back in the caboodle. Once Jake successfully gets the delivery people to leave, the plaque has
been taken. The mood in the precinct turns toxic as everyone is distrusting each other. Even
Terry is accused of taking it while Hitchcock and Scully have suspected him since the beginning.
As Amy and Rosa regroup in the bathroom, we learn it was Rosa who stole the plaque under
the guise of a pizza delivery person during the kerfuffle. For the time being Amy stashes the
plaque into an air vent next to her pack of cigarettes (a rare indulgent for her). Knowing of Amy’s
secret habit, Holt deduces that her team obtained the plaque and it’s now in her hiding place. Holt
then unleashes Cheddar, his plaque-retrieving Corgi small enough to navigate through vents.
Saddened over his replacement by Cheddar, Boyle lets it slip to Jake where Holt is hiding the
plaque.
Now with Jake in possession, a guilt-ridden Boyle tells Holt he informed Jake. However, Holt
fed Boyle false information which leaves Jake confused as he already swiped it. This leads to
everyone realizing they all have a cloned plaque. Soon, the ceiling lights go off with a black light
flooding the precinct. A discreet word is written on all three plaques which put together read,
”Heists are dumb.”
The three realize Terry would be the only one to sabotage their beloved competition. When
they go to confront him in the interrogation room, Terry maintains his innocence. Soon the lights
go out and Gina returns to reveal she has the original plaque. She masterminded the entire
ordeal including the skating accident (she’s always had missing teeth from a childhood accident
but covered it with a false pair).
As everyone lay dumbfounded to their oversight against Gina during the entire heist, Gina’s
ultimate goal was purely to stroke her own ego. As one of the few non-detectives in the precinct,
she wanted to prove her worth by besting them all. I suppose wearing a ”Gina Knows Best” sweat-
shirt should have given it away. So, she had the plaque changed to the ”Gina Linetti Ultimate
Human/Genius Award.” All is forgiven in the end as everyone concludes the day with a round of
drinks at the bar. Gina even complies with a ”take out your teeth” chant much to everyone’s glee.

Monster in the Closet

Season 4
Episode Number: 74
Season Episode: 6

Guest Stars: Antonio Raul Corbo (Nikolaj), Tara Karsian (Mara Ciprioni), Joe Keyes
(Dino Ciprioni), Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento)
Summary: Rosa and Pimento decide to get married, leading the whole squad to
prep for their wedding under Amy’s direction. Meanwhile, Jake and
Gina struggle in their search for Pimento’s grandmother’s ruby ear-
rings.
Detective Pimento returns from hiding

now that Jimmy ”The Butcher” Figgis is
behind bars. However, Boyle finds out
the hard way as Pimento has been hid-
ing in his son Nikolaj’s closet. Turns out
he spent that time away locked up in
an Uzbekistani prison (something about
flying discarded Soviet planes). Now that
he’s back, he’s ready to reunite with fi-
ancée Rosa. What follows is a passionate
yet violent make-out session.
After that settles down, the two love-
birds announce their wedding the follow-
ing day, hoping to bring the spirit of a
Nancy Meyers movie to the romantic cer-
emony. The precinct’s resident overachiever Amy immediately volunteers to organize the whole
ordeal. With a binder full of tasks, Amy assigns the others their jobs in the wedding. Boyle’s on
food, despite his initial plans to use animal genitalia to make the ceremony more erotic. Terry
is on hair & make-up thanks to his expertise on his daughter’s beauty. Capt. Holt is more than
willing to work on decorations.
With the team working hard, Boyle forgets the sugar in his batter, Holt’s balloon arch is
too small, and Terry finds Rosa already intoxicated. ”Ladies rule!” Rosa says with a cocktail in
hand. ”Nancy Meyers you’ve done it again.” Boyle tries the sober her up but ends up joining her
in drinks after she asks why his girlfriend Genevieve has yet to marry him. Ever the weak one,
Boyle also indulges as he laments his sadness in the lack of moving forward with his relationship.
Once the magic hour is approaching, Amy becomes increasingly stressed with her responsi-
bilities. She hates Holt’s balloon arch but didn’t say anything out of fear of upsetting her boss.
Terry tries to sober up Rosa and Boyle with espresso but ends up joining them in alcohol after
Rosa mentions her falling out with her own father as she grew up. Turns out Terry holds a big
fear that his daughters will one day abandon him.
Pimento approaches Jake for a wedding request: travel six hours away to an upstate New York
town to retrieve his grandmother’s ruby earrings he pawned before he went away. Jake enlists
155
Gina to join them as she’s up to the task. However, upon arriving at the pawn shop, they’re
shocked to see the place boarded up from fire damage. With the failure to retrieve the earrings,
Pimento calls off the wedding.
Finding this as a sign from the universe that he shouldn’t marry Rosa, Pimento is joined
by Gina in declaring this a curse. Jake on the other hand is determined to see the nuptials go
through and vows to use his detective skills to unearth the earrings. Sure enough, he finds the
name of the pawn store owner on his phone. When they meet with the owner Mara Ciprioni, she
insists the earring didn’t survive the fire.
Convinced she still has the earring (based on seeing her wearing a necklace he also sold
her), Pimento climbs her roof for some sneaking in. Once inside, Pimento, Jake and Gina find
a roomful of merchandise, including the earrings. Yet Gina can’t keep the noise down as she’s
fascinated with a rain stick. Soon enough Mara walks in on them and calls for her husband
Dino to attack. Pimento jacked up on adrenaline promises to burn the house down as Dino is
equipped with a Katana sword.
The three rush out the window and make it to their car. With the earrings in hand, Pimento is
convinced now that the universe is granting him and Rosa their wedding. With just enough time
to drive back, Jake considers it a miracle but unfortunately his car breaks down.
As Pimento and Gina continually finding signs from the universe for the big day on the side of
the road, Jake remains determined to get Pimento back to Brooklyn. Of course, there’s a literal
sign behind them indicating a nearby airport. With Pimento’s experience in piloting prop planes,
the day is saved again!
The wedding deadline approaching, Amy’s last-ditch effort of sobering up her so-called work-
ers is with a blast to the face of a fire extinguisher. Jake, Gina and Pimento arrive just in time
(how did they land the plane?). Amy complains about Rosa getting drunk. Jake relays that Pi-
mento kept calling off the wedding. The two finally realize the would-be bride and groom have
been sabotaging themselves because they don’t actually want to get married.
Jake and Amy still proceed with prepping the ceremony unsure if they should stop it before
Rosa and Pimento make it official. Jake approaches Pimento while Amy sees Rosa. The two lovers
realize they were rushing things and call off the wedding. They rather take things slow by going
on an actual date for once. The following day, Rosa approaches Holt with her appreciation of his
efforts. Upon sensing he’s hiding something, she soon finds his balloon arch over his desk. She’s
in total awe of the creation, to which Holt screams out ”vindication!” for his passion.

Mr. Santiago
Season 4
Episode Number: 75
Season Episode: 7

Writer: Neil Campbell
Director: Alex Reid
Guest Stars: Hermie Castillo (Alan), Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento), Mike Os-
troski (Benji Russo), Jimmy Smits (Victor Santiago)
Summary: Jake pulls out all the stops in hopes of impressing Amy’s father, a
former cop, at her family’s Thanksgiving dinner. Elsewhere, Charles is
on turkey duty; and Holt helps Pimento cope with the fact that he can
no longer work for the NYPD.
Thanksgiving is upon us and Amy Santi-

ago has invited the whole precinct to her
place since they won’t be traveling out of
town to visit their own families. Amy is a
little bit anxious to say the least consid-
ering her father will be coming. A former
police detective, Mr. Santiago can be a lit-
tle uptight (he arranges the bills in his
wallet by serial number). Amy has tasked
Boyle with turkey duties while everything
is literally on the line for the rest to fulfill
their responsibilities.
This also marks the first time Jake
will be meeting Amy’s father. Considering
they’ve been dating for quite some time,
the pressure has been built up for Jake to make the ultimate first impression. He’s already got
a head start with a binder full of research on Victor Santiago. Holt suggests not being over-
confident while Boyle suggests being himself.
At the airport, Jake is all set in picking up Victor. He’s well dressed, slabbed some moisturizer
on his face, and even made a sign typed out in Victor’s favorite font. Once arriving at Amy’s
apartment, Amy has a joyful reunion with her dad while Jake is off to a great start. He even
memorized various financial terms to impress Victor with his fondness for mutual funds, much
to Amy’s confusion.
Adrian Pimento is devastated after learning he can’t rejoin the force since he went missing
for seven months. With a bottle of booze in hand, he laments the uncertainty in his life. Luckily,
Capt. Holt is on hand to suggest becoming a private investigator. With Adrian intrigued, he still
wouldn’t have the $2000 to pay for a P.I. license. For Holt, he sees this as an investment and
agrees to loan him the money.
Later as they’re sitting down to watch a competitive dog show, Pimento is shocked to learn
that the wire fox terrier doesn’t have a chance at winning. Turns out he used the two grand to
bet on that dog. Hoping the winnings would pay back Holt quicker, Holt is forced to accompany
Pimento to his bookie to even things out.
157
Pimento isn’t actually the most astute gambler, as his bookie is a college freshman working
out of his dorm room. The money had already been placed online and currently sitting in the
Caribbean and Holt refuses to travel abroad to get it back. Hope is not loss though, as the terrier
has advanced to the top three and could possibly win Pimento and Holt their money back. The
two make it to a sports bar to tune into the end and as the entire bar becomes entranced in the
event, the terrier wins Best in Show, thus saving Pimento from financial ruin.
The day is going off without a hitch even though Jake has to make repeated excuses to leave
the party so that he can sneak a peek at his binder for reference. Unfortunately, Jake finds the
binder missing from its place and looks up to see Victor browsing through it. While first playing
dumb, it turns out Victor is impressed with the amount of work Jake would do in preparation.
In particular, Victor makes a note about one of his previous unsolved cases regarding a bank
heist before its grand opening. Jake had written a note claiming the contractor Russo & Sons
must have pulled it off. While the contractor had an alibi during the initial investigation, Jake
deduces that one of the sons did it. Still reeling from the unsolved case, Victor and Jake team up
to finally nab the robbers.
The two make their way to the Russo family as they themselves are about to sit down for
Thanksgiving. While Jake is ready to put them in a trap, the sons points to the evidence in their
favor putting them at a baseball tournament out of state at the time of the robbery, complete
with trophies, pictures, and a newspaper article. They had all that evidence handy because they
were previously questioned by Victor, to which surprises Jake.
The suggestion to go investigate was a set-up by Victor to prove that Jake was sloppy in his
detective work. All along Victor had his own binder of research on Jake and knew about Jake’s
history of sloppy detective work and weak personal and financial responsibilities. In a tense car
ride back, Jake phones Amy to let her know the situation. Amy on the other hand unleashes
her disappointment in both Jake and her dad, feeling like she has no say in the matter of their
relationship.
As Amy is making her case that she shouldn’t be a sheltered and protected daughter, both
Victor and Jake have an epiphany and realize it was the contractor’s daughter who pulled the
heist. When they pay her a visit, she instantly confesses and thus closes the 20-year unsolved
case.
As the big day arrives, the crew gets disgusted when they learn Boyle will be butchering a
live turkey. Boyle preps the bird slaughter but before he can do it, the precinct is divided. Gina
objects as she doesn’t want to eat a cooked animal after already seeing it alive. She even names
the turkey Nikolaj after Boyle’s son in hopes of dissuading him. Rosa on the other hand doesn’t
think it’s a fair fight between Boyle and the turkey. So the two make a break for it with the turkey
and lock themselves inside Amy’s bedroom.
Once Amy is able to unhinge the door and gets in, Gina lets the bird out of its cage, to which it
proceeds to chase the group around the apartment. Now everyone trapped in the bathroom, Boyle
steps up to take the turkey on. Putting on every piece of fabric he could find in the bathroom, he
puts a wastebasket on his head and arms himself with an electric toothbrush and straightening
iron.
After an intense battle (resulting in Boyle getting his back scratched up), he was able to calm
the bird by feeding it Gouda cheese. Just as the day had been saved, Jake and Victor return
with the good news of solving the case. Impressed on how her dad and boyfriend were able to get
along, Jake isn’t 100% approved but Victor insists it’s not up to him as a father. As long as Amy
is happy, he is happy.

Skyfire Cycle
Season 4
Episode Number: 76
Season Episode: 8

Guest Stars: Fred Melamed (D.C. Parlov), Christopher Gehrman (Sam Boyle),
Theodore Barnes (Young Terry), Lou George (Edmund Grail), Noah
Staggs (Turkey Delivery Guy), Rick Williamson (Janitor)
Summary: Terry meets his lifelong hero, a famous author who’s received death
threats. In other events, Gina tries to choose the location of the Boyle
family vacation and Amy sides with Kevin in his argument with Holt
over a math puzzle.
The Five-Nine precinct has made the local

news as they’re investing death threats
against acclaimed fantasy author D.C.
Parlov. When Terry overhears his name,
he goes full-blown fandom over his lit-
erary idol. Parlov is not a name familiar
with the rest while Boyle asks if his Sky-
fire Cycle book series are like Game of
Thrones. ”No, Game of Thrones is a Sky-
fire Cycle type of thing, get your head out
of your ass!” Terry says in case y’all didn’t
know.
You see, a young Terry was lonely and
overweight so he found his only solace in
Parlov’s novels. He even got a signed book
from Parlov, who promised an emotional unstable Terry that he’ll always be his friend. Hoping to
bring Terry some happiness, Jake wants to get the Nine-Nine on the case.
When Jake informs Terry the case was transferred, Terry wants no part of it, fearing that
meeting his hero might turn into a disaster and ruin his perception of him. Once Parlov arrives
at the precinct, Terry goes into full-giddy mode and stumbles over his own words. Once he works
up the courage to introduce himself, he brings up the signed book that was sent to him 30 years
ago. Not only does Parlov remember him, he’s proud that Terry made something of himself.
The root of Parlov’s threats stem from fan outrage over the revelation of a beloved dragon
character to actually be a female. As they begin the investigation, Terry and Jake believe they can
match the handwriting from the threatening letter to a fan’s signature at a Skyfire convention.
There they meet a fan who not only signs their petitions against a female dragon, but remarks
that a message needs to be written in blood to get Parlov’s attention.
Now that Gina’s mom is married to Charles’s father, Gina is unwittingly part of the Boyle clan
and thus forced to go on the big family vacation. Gina would much rather go to a resort in Aruba,
but the Boyle clan avoids water on account of their lack of swimming skills. Instead the plan is
staying in a tent (that’s tent, singular) in Iowa.
159
Using her powers of manipulation, Gina has taken Charles’s Cousin Sam for a meal and
convinced him to go to Aruba. With one cousin down, Gina still has 32 more Boyles to go to
switch their votes. The rest of the cousins congregate at a local bar where Charles and Gina spar
off with their cases.
Turns out the Boyle family is quite swayed by both arguments. However, they promise to sleep
on it and make their decision the following morning. Sam later calls in to let them know they’ve
picked Aruba. Gloating in her success, Gina compares herself to the ”Temple Grandin of hurting
Boyles.” Charles however believes he ultimately won, suggesting that Gina is now truly a member
of the Boyle family and destined to join the rest of them in a mass grave upon her eventual death.
Capt. Holt and his husband Kevin come to Amy and Rosa to help settle a petty argument
they’re engaged in. With limited time together thanks to Holt’s night shift, the two were hoping
for some intimacy but Kevin brings up a math query: a Monty Hall-type game show with three
doors. Behind one door is a new car. One door is empty leaving two doors to choose, which one
has the car behind it? The two bicker over the correct probability but Amy sides with Kevin.
The married couple remain in a bitter standstill over the problem. Amy believes she has to
convince Holt that Kevin’s right in order to save their marriage. Rosa on the other hand just
believes they need to ”bone” to eliminate their frustration. ”What? Gross! Rosa, those are our
dads!” Amy says in disgust. ”I mean, that’s not what I think. Captain Dad is just my boss.”
Despite Amy’s father appearing in last week’s episode, I suppose she still needs a father figure in
her daily life.
Amy tries out the math problem with a mock three-door setup and presents it to Holt. As
he initially dismisses her attempts to intervene, Holt is enraged when Rosa bluntly tells him
he needs to ”bone” with Kevin. What followed was a 40-minute lecture over his private life and
discussing such matters with a superior officer. Rosa however it worked as Holt is now aware of
the problem. At their next shift, Holt returns with a smile on his face and informs Amy the fight
is over. By mincing words, Amy and Rosa realize they Holt and Kevin did in fact ”bone.” This
leaves an ugly image for Amy of her ”work dad.”
Believing they have their suspect, Jake makes the discovery that Parlov’s handwriting from
the note to young Terry matches the threatening letter. Terry is in complete denial while Jake
surmises that Parlov needed the publicity to get back on the best-sellers list. The two visit Parlov’s
hotel room, which surprisingly he also has three young gorgeous women in Skyfire cosplay on his
bed. Parlov denies he was behind it but reveals the inscription Terry received was from Parlov’s
assistant.
Parlov is being targeted on account of his former assistant Edmund Grail’s hatred of him.
This of course is a result of Parlov firing him after sleeping with his wife (I guess their work
relationship would be too awkward). Though his favorite author was not behind it for publicity,
Terry is still heartbroken now that he knows his hero didn’t actually write to him. Jake tries to
cheer him up by suggesting a message Terry got as a kid didn’t make him who he is today.
Jake tracks down Grail at his apartment. When he informs Grail he’s there on account of
Parlov, Grail tries to make a break for it. As he slips by Jake outside his front door, Terry comes
around and clotheslines Grail, placing him under arrest. In a sense of professional and personal
renewal, Terry wants to ”write his own stories,” thus creating the ”Terry Chronicles.”

The Overmining
Season 4
Episode Number: 77
Season Episode: 9

Director: David Phillips
Guest Stars: Sean Dillingham (Marco Severino), Joseph A. Garcia (Yordano), Mau-
rice Hall (Martin A. Navratilov), Ken Marino (Captain CJ), Edelyn
Okano (Kris Lloyd Evert), Deron Wilson (NYPD S.W.A.T.)
Summary: Jake and Holt help Captain C.J. with a tough case. Meanwhile, Terry’s
eco-friendly initiative causes a feud when he demands that Gina ditch
her space heater; and Rosa and Boyle visit a foot-massage parlor while
taking a break during the night shift.
In this episode the stress of the night shift

is taking a toll on the rest of the detec-
tives. Terry tries to lead a green initia-
tive but a certain self-absorbed someone
keeps standing in his way. This comes
at a tough time for Terry and could use
a confidence boost. Meanwhile Rosa and
Boyle discover a relaxing break in their
shift but soon learn not all good things
last forever.
Capt. ”C.J.” Stanley has a tough time
keeping track of crucial evidence. Capt.
Holt and Jake are amazed to the complete
ineptness of their superior losing a duffle
bag of cocaine. A missing bag belonging
to a drug runner for notorious Brooklyn supplier known as Flaco could prove C.J.’s carelessness
and thus get him fired. As Jake is ecstatic, Holt retains a level of respect and due process so they
are tasked with finding the evidence.
Holt already has a lead with the security footage inside C.J.’s office. While C.J. was off playing
guitar in the break room, a suspicious person walked in unnoticed and grabbed the bag from the
empty office. Jake is overjoyed that this is will clearly get C.J. fired but Holt wants to uphold the
law without undermining a fellow officer.
Jake finds a bummed out C.J. who learned that losing evidence is in fact a big deal. As
punishment his transfer request was pulled, which stuns Jake. C.J. realized he was a little in-
over-his-head and wanted an administrative job at the police academy. But because of the screw
up, he’s forced to stay at the Nine-Nine. Realizing this could actually get C.J. out of there, Jake
suggests his boss go undercover to nab Flacco in order to impress the top brass.
Not informing Holt about the transfer, Jake tries to play the supportive role by helping C.J.
nab the drug supplier. Holt is a little hesitant over C.J. going undercover but Jake vows for his
creativeness. Unfortunately, C.J.’s attempt of going undercover gets borderline racist as he dons
a bandana and sunglasses to portray a Mexican Cholo gang member.
161
Holt and Jake meet up with a Flaco associate named Severino at his restaurant and pose as
potential buyers while C.J. remains in a van. Connected with an earpiece, C.J. begins to drone
on and on endlessly with gibberish while Jake and Holt try to play it cool. The blabbering takes
its toll and the two break their cover by yelling at C.J. and ultimately have to arrest Severino.
With no evidence of drugs found at the restaurant and Severino remaining quiet, Jake and
Holt have little time before they have to release him. After suggesting leaving C.J. out of their
investigation, Jake admits that he actually wants to solve it but still give credit to C.J. Holt
believes he’s still undermining the captain but Jake counters with ”overming.” The two agree to
at least have C.J. nearby during the ultimate arrest just so he could claim credit.
Jake and Holt lead a SWAT team to bust into Flaco’s warehouse. There they spot plenty of
cocaine being packaged while Flaco makes a run for it. As Jake chases him through the streets,
Flaco is knocked out cold as C.J. inadvertently opens his car’s door into the fleeing suspect. This
of course gives C.J. more credit for capturing Flaco but it was only due from freaking out over a
spider in the car.
Terry is leading an eco-friendly initiative around the office by reducing unnecessary energy
usage. That means no more laminating machine for Amy, despite how much laminating she
loves. It also means no more space heater for Gina under her desk. Gina relents, as she could
never give up her precious ”Giacinta.” Gina vows to fight for her right to keep it and isn’t afraid
to go toe-to-toe with Terry. ”Not to brag, but I was name-checked in my kindergarten teacher’s
suicide note.”
The green initiative isn’t going so well as Amy is caught laminating again. When Terry spots
her, he admits he recently failed the lieutenant’s exam. Not succeeding in the eco-friendly project
only worsens his depression. Amy is encouraging so she agrees to help him get Gina to give up
her heater. Easier said than done, though, as Gina hides her heater underneath a gigantic skirt
which of course catches fire.
Gina doubles down with three space heaters at her desk and a portable air conditioner. Amy
begs Gina to give up but Gina reveals she knows about Terry’s failing grade. She has no intention
of exasperating Terry’s depression but assures her that she’s got a plan. Later Terry informs Gina
that now everyone gets a space heater, including a shirtless Hitchcock. A disgusted Gina admits
defeat but Amy knows she did so just for Terry to have his moment of glory.
As Rosa is trying to enjoy a snack break, Boyle waltzes in wih a snappy mood. He suggests
that to help ease through their night shift is to stop by a 24-hour foot massage parlor. Rosa isn’t
exactly thrilled with the idea as Boyle propped his bare foot on the table hoping that would entice
her.
Boyle takes Rosa out on a run to track down a suspect but he admits it’s a ruse to get her
to come to the massage parlor. ”Let me make it better by paying a strong-handed woman milk
the stress away from your feet.” Rosa ultimately laments and all doubt is instantly tossed aside
as the two are enjoying the relaxing massage. However their pedial bliss is cut short after Rosa
walks into a possible money laundering scheme going on at the parlor.
She discovers the parlor reported over $7 million in profit the previous year (that would involve
A LOT of foot massages). An arrest has to be made but the two try to justify keeping the parlor
open. But alas they know they have to do their job and end up shutting down the parlor, much
to their chagrin. Overmining the Captain
C.J.’s transfer is approved but he turns it down. The thrill of capturing a drug supplier proved
that he’s got what it takes for the job, despite the car door doing most of the work. It’s a further
dagger in their hearts as Jake and Holt have to watch C.J. get commemorated for this arrest at
a press ceremony. However he begins to blow it as he dodges reporters’ questions on his plans
for battling other drug rings in the city. C.J. even admits the investigation started after losing
crucial evidence.
The event becomes a train wreck for C.J. but Holt admits to Jake that it was he who recom-
mended the recognition and invited the press. Knowing C.J. would screw up when put on the
spot, the transfer is ensured. Holt has now taken C.J.’s place and his first act is taking his entire
crew back on the day shift, much to everyone’s excitement.

Captain Latvia
Season 4
Episode Number: 78
Season Episode: 10

Writer: Matt Lawton
Director: Jaffar Mahmood
Guest Stars: Mary Lynn Rajskub (Genevieve Mirren-Carter), Lance Barber (Patrick),
Carlos Antonio (Melvin), Antonio Raul Corbo (Nikolaj Boyle), Phil Au-
gusta Jackson (Jeremy), Mitchell L. Johnson (Ivan Tragovic), Petar
Kirilov (Sergei), Malene Ostergaard (Svetlana), Deren Tadlock (Marv),
Jarrett Johnson (MTA Singer #5), Sara Mann (MTA Singer)
Summary: Jake helps Charles search for a Christmas present for his son, but the
pair end up facing off against a Latvian crime ring in the process. Else-
where, the team prepare for their annual Christmas carol competition
against their rivals, the MTA.
It is Boyle’s first Christmas with his

adopted Latvian son Nikolaj and this
could prove to be his happiest Christmas
yet. Well, it doesn’t take much to out-
shine the previous Christmas for Niko-
laj as they were plagued by fires and
famine. But Boyle wants to deliver with
the toy Nikolaj desperately wants: a Cap-
tain Latvia doll. Considering he’s not
known in the U.S. (his superpower is
talking to possums!), Boyle has his hands
full as he scrambles to find one in New
York.
Boyle had ordered the doll a month
ago from a Latvian toy store but it still
hasn’t arrived. Luckily he’s got Jake to help him find one. As Boyle is once again being ignored
on the phone by Melvin’s Imports, Jake does some quick detective work on his phone and realizes
they’re located right in Queens.
Jake and Boyle make it down to the warehouse and confront Melvin himself. As Boyle tries
to play ”tough cop” (by breaking some cheap ceramic mugs), Melvin informs them his business
is also used by a Latvian mob to launder stolen goods. Every now and then other packages get
mixed up and lost. If they want to get the doll, they’d have to go through the mob first.
The crew gets a visit from the MTA Christmas Carolers, the Nine-Nine’s acapella rivals. The
two groups are set to compete in the charity event that night and the MTA is already trash
talking. ”I hope you’re more prepared tonight or else we’d have to file a missing person’s report.
First name ”Your.” Last name ”Dignity.” With his pride already at stake, Capt. Holt vows to take
down the MTA.
Their first practice doesn’t go so well. Perfectionist Amy is quite dispirited as she learns she’s
the most off-key. Hitchcock mistakes the caroling for an excuse to lay down his gangster rap
163
skills. For a brief moment Gina rallies the troops and motivates them. However, when she learns
the event is that night, she bails. She’s got Hamilton tickets! You can’t pass that up.
Just as the rest is about to quit, they hear the angelic voice of a stranger upstairs. Turns out
that angel is just a criminal sitting in the drunk tank. He’s got the singing chops, but the inability
to keep his vomit down. Holt tries to justify using Patrick the drunk to win the competition (it can
go towards his community service!). Once he’s sobered up, the team makes their way backstage
of the competition. As they come out, Patrick gets stage fright and bolts backstage.
Jake and Boyle infiltrate a club that’s fronted by the Latvian mob. Donning questionable
apparel, Boyle is able to get in after telling an anti-Estonian joke to the bouncers. Inside Boyle
puts on the charm and dances with a woman who happens to have a key to the back room. After
successfully swiping it, Jake and Boyle make it back there but can’t find any clue to where the
package is.
Just as Boyle finds a tablet, a security guard walks in on them. After throwing Jake up
against a locker, the security guard takes a beating from Boyle. In a delightful surprise, Boyle is
really stepping it up this episode. Determined to get his son the doll, he successfully infiltrates
the Latvian mob and takes down a bouncer. Jacked up on adrenaline, he even drove through a
yellow light! ”I proceeded with caution,” Boyle remarks as he learns of another mob location in
Crown Heights after cracking the tablet.
They wait outside the new warehouse after calling for back-up. Yet for Charles he can’t stand
idly by and rushes in to be the hero. Unfortunately that means first wiggling out of his pants
when parking the car too close to a van as he struggled to get out. Once inside, Boyle spots a
group of men packing up illegal guns and burning unwanted packages. However Jake can’t let
his best buddy go it alone so he knocks him out and waits for the SWAT team to arrive.
”The best gift you can give Nikolaj is not Captain Latvia. It’s you, being there with him alive,”
Jake tells Boyle in a caring moment for the two. The arrest is successful with a dozen baddies
behind bars and confiscated automatic weapons. Unfortunately, Jake delivers Boyle’s Captain
Latvia... burnt to a crisp. Boyle on the one hand is grateful and realizes Christmas isn’t about
presents. ”Forget that crap, presents rule,” Jake counters as he gives Boyle a pre-wrapped gift to
give to Nikolaj. It’s a policeman doll, which delights Nikolaj as it represents his hero father.
Patrick’s secret to his excellent singing was of course booze. In an intoxicated state he has the
courage to sing in public. As the MTA is killing it on the stage, Holt scrambles for a new singer.
Even after Terry suggests they drop out, Amy saves the day by bringing back Patrick. Well, a
completely inebriated Patrick.
When they return to the stage, things go off without a hitch. Patrick gracefully launches into
Joy to the World. Their chance of winning is quickly dashed as the drunk Patrick makes a crude
remark, declares his love for his hometown of Hoboken, and then falls off the stage. After the
MTA has taken the trophy, the Nine-Nine remain bitter afterwards at the bar.
With each one suggesting to exact revenge against the MTA back through pranks and vandal-
ism, Scully has become the voice of reason. In the true spirit of Christmas, he would rather go
caroling than plotting revenge. Over at Boyle’s apartment, he and Jake hear Scully singing out-
side. Soon enough he’s joined by the rest of the carolers. Despite good intentions, the Nine-Nine
truly are horrible singers.

Summary: The squad goes on a manhunt for a group of convicts who’ve escaped
from a prison van on the streets of Brooklyn. When one fugitive is still
loose, Jake gains a surprising ally.
A white van carrying a number of prison-

ers inexplicably careens off the road and
lands on its side. One of the few pedes-
trians at the scene is Super Bowl winner
Marshawn Lynch. Unfortunately he was
too wrapped up in his take-out meal, dis-
tressed they forgot his pico de gallo. At
the Nine-Nine, Capt. Holt alerts the crew
about nine escaped convicts on the loose.
He announces a manhunt, and Jake is
more than excited. He even launches into
his Tommy Lee Jones impression from
the film The Fugitive. ”I didn’t kill my
wife!”
Jake and Amy’s relationship is heating
up to the point where they stay over each other’s place more often than not. However the rest of
the crew suggests they finally move in together. With nine fugitives out on the streets, Amy and
Jake make a wager. The one to capture the most criminals gets to keep their apartment while
the other one moves in. This might be an incentive for Amy to win considering Jake’s unsavory
track record when it comes to home upkeep.
Terry is determined for Jake to win. If he were to lose, Jake would become the next victim of a
man forced to make sacrifices for his woman. It’s too late for Terry as he has little room to keep
up his hobby, acrylic painting in overalls and no shirt. Amy is teamed up with Boyle. Despite
being Jake’s best buddy, Boyle wants Amy to win. Considering she lives two blocks away from
him, this means Boyle will have more opportunities to hang with Jake. Of course Boyle likes to
imagine his friendship with him is out of a romantic comedy about two gal pals.
Amy and Boyle are off to an early lead. They captured three convicts while Jake and Terry
only got one. Given the severity of the situation, the Nine-Nine has access to endless resources.
Amy and Boyle have night vision goggles. Jake and Terry score Big Bertha, a tactical bus from
165
Homeland Security. Soon enough, it’s Jake and Terry with 4 and Amy and Boyle with three. Soon
enough the game is tied.
Holt informs Rosa that one of the witnesses was Marshawn Lynch. Rosa is instantly excited
while Holt has no idea who he is. ”We’re not getting anything out of him. He’s always getting
fined for refusing to talk to the press. He’s kind of one of my heroes,” a slightly aroused Rosa
remarks. Unfortunately, she was right as Lynch only rambles on about his love for Mexican food
and his theories on Santa Claus. A now annoyed Rosa is left with him to record the rest of his
nonsensical statement.
Another witness was an older woman from a foreign country but she’s of no use without
speaking any English. Luckily they catch a break as they determined that a drawing she had
made was of a manhole cover, meaning the last of the convicts went underground. As both sets
make their way through the sewer, they both encounter the convict at the same time. Amy and
Jake rush through the Miranda rights to determine a winner but Jake gives up.

Coram (Ted), Kate Rene Gleason (Woman), Michelle Arthur (Parent /
Art Auction Attendee)
Summary: The squad goes on a manhunt for a group of convicts who’ve escaped
from a prison van on the streets of Brooklyn. When one fugitive is still
loose, Jake gains a surprising ally.
Realizing his true love for Amy, Jake lets

her take the win and agrees to move
in with her. ”You’re happiness is worth
way more than winning some stupid bet,”
Jake says and is instantly greeted with a
passionate kiss. Their moment to shine
is cut short, though. The person they
captured was not a convict but the ac-
tual bus driver. The last convict previ-
ously blackmailed the driver to intention-
ally crash and help them escape or else
he’d harm his family.
The convict, George Jeselnik, is highly
dangerous with a rap sheet a mile long.
As a child he was in and out of foster
homes. However, Jake happens to notice a familiar name who shared a foster home with George
long ago. Doug Judy, a.k.a. ”The Pontiac Bandit.” A former nemesis of Jake’s, Doug and him
became allies last season out on a cruise.
While Jake and Doug are psyched to partner up (even coming up with their own theme song
on the fly), Holt is livid when he learns Doug would be granted immunity. Thus wiping out his
600 outstanding charges, Holt only agrees if Doug can bring his foster brother to justice.
After it was reported that George posed as the van driver and escaped the hospital after being
treated, Jake and Doug determine that George is after a bejeweled egg worth millions. Holt is
still reluctant with any leads are coming from Doug’s ”criminal friends.” Holt is even angrier after
Doug is given a badge and an unloaded gun. In order to prevent a mishap, Holt inserts himself
onto the case, now focusing on an art exhibition where the egg and George will be.
Holt still doubts his decision to include Doug, believing he’s only working with them to help
out his brother. Instead, Doug is more than happy to help capture him. Unfortunately the egg
was a ruse and a tip Doug received turned out to be true. The egg was not the target but instead
all of the cars from the guests were stolen. One of the victims happened to be ”Gertie,” Holt’s
beloved vehicle.
167
Still suspecting Doug of helping his brother, Holt ultimately goes undercover as a foreign
millionaire looking to buy back his car as Doug takes them to an illegal chop shop. Holt finally
spots George working on a car outside and when they confront him, he sets a fiery trap. Holt’s
suspicions are proved correct when George hops into a convertible driven by Doug and they make
their escape.
Disappointed over the manipulation, Jake now has to arrest Doug as well. They’re able to
track them down to a residence as Jake had Doug’s phone location inputted into a ”Find My
Friend” app. Doug and George corner them in the house with guns drawn. Fearing they could
die any moment, Doug saves the day as he had given George his unloaded gun and then knocks
him out.
Soon after Doug is granted full immunity and Holt offers an apology for doubting the reformed
criminal. As a thank you, Doug gifts Holt the same make and model as Gertie. He assures Holt
it wasn’t stolen and bought it for cheap at a used car lot. The one caveat is that the car would
be christened ”Sex-o-rella,” which surprisingly impresses Holt. However, Doug admits to Jake he
has to fall back on what he does best: stealing cars. Despite their bromance, Jake vows to take
Doug down if he catches him in the act.

The Audit
Season 4
Episode Number: 81
Season Episode: 13

Writer: Carly Hallam
Guest Stars: Kyle Bornheimer (Teddy Wells), Andrew T. Lee (Williamson), Jama
Williamson (Rachel)
Summary: With the crime rate lowered, Brooklyn is permanently shutting down
one of its precincts. The team is confident they’ll be evaluated fairly
until the auditor turns out to be Amy’s ex, leading the whole squad to
band together to try to save the precinct.
The episode kicks off with Holt announc-

ing that Gina can come back to work. She
wanted him to read a 10-page speech,
but he refuses to do so. Gina shows up
in a full brace after her accident in ”The
Fugitive.” She’s in a lot of pain, but she
thinks everyone else has been in more
pain because they’ve had a Gina-less two
months.
Gina then agrees to take questions.
First, she tells Amy that she has to wear
the brace for a week. Next, she tells Jake
that it felt awesome to get hit by a bus
and that she was legally dead for two
minutes and she met god.
Then, Terry insinuates that Gina might not actually be ready to return to work. To prove him
wrong, she tries to dance, while screaming in pain. ”Gina Linetti is back, baby!” Hitchcock yells.
After the title, Holt tells the Nine-Nine that crime is down in Brooklyn. (Yay!) Unfortunately,
that means that one precinct will be closed permanently. (Boo.) An auditor is coming by to see
how well they do their job and Holt tells them that they just don’t want to rate at the bottom.
Diaz hopes the auditor doesn’t look in their desks because someone left a bunch of swords in
her’s. Hitchcock also has a question about browser histories.
Holt says the auditor will start out by keeping tabs on Amy and Jake’s gang stake-out because
their case is an example of the crime this precinct still faces (not ”because they’re America’s
dream couple”?). The auditor turns out to be Teddy, Amy’s ex-boyfriend, the same person she
said was the most boring man in the world! (His favorite app is ”Contacts,” so... can you blame
her for thinking that way?)
Amy and Jake head off to the closet, where Jake lets all his fears out in the air. He thinks
Teddy will split them up and their relationship won’t survive. Amy is pretty confident that they
don’t have to work together to be in a relationship. Jake thinks he’ll forget about her if he doesn’t
see her all the time because he’s like a goldfish.
169
Meanwhile, Teddy is recording all his thoughts on his phone as he examines the conference
room. Terry asks him how the other precincts did, but Teddy isn’t giving up the information.
Instead, he says they are just trying to clear up waste... like the $2,100 copy machine the precinct
just bought that is now broken.
Holt and Terry join Amy and Jake in the cramped closet because they are all freaking out.
Holt is so freaked out that he’s using pointless acronyms like ”BRB.” Then, Boyle and Diaz join
because Teddy just found out about the rats. Boyle doesn’t want to be split from Jake because
he’s afraid Jake will forget about him. He’s like a goldfish!
Boyle blames Amy for all this because she slept with Teddy, and Holt agrees. ”Your libido has
endangered us all,” Holt tells her. Then, Gina joins them all in the closet and they decide they
need to use the evidence room.
There, Holt tells Amy that she has to patch things up with Teddy. She decides that they just
have to pretend that he’s not boring. Holt agrees that this is a good idea and tells them to make
Teddy feel like the most interesting man in the world.
After Amy and Jake head off, Holt orders everyone else to make sure that the copy machine is
fixed before Teddy finds out it doesn’t work. Terry is assigned to work on that, since the manual
is in Japanese and he spent a year abroad there. They also have to fix the rat problem. Boyle
thinks his case of wolf urine to scare off rats. Gina wants to help out, and Terry lets her help
with the copier.
At the stake-out, Teddy arrives, so Amy and Jake explain that they think two gangs are
meeting to merge. Since they’re going to be awhile, Jake tries to become friends with Teddy by
talking drinks. He pretends that he likes pilsners. Teddy then presses Jake with some really
specific pilsner questions, and catches him in a lie. He knows they still think he’s boring.
After the break, Holt finds Terry trying to put the copier back together, with pieces all over the
table. Terry thinks he might have found out how to turn it on and could have this done quicker...
if only Gina wasn’t making things difficult. Maybe Boyle and Diaz have made more progress with
the rats?
Nope. They have made no progress with the rats. Scully keeps eating the peanut-butter from
the rat traps. Still, the plan is to use the wolf urine to guide the rats into the traps. ”And that’s
where I come in,” Boyle says, wearing a full bodysuit from a sexy cat costume for better mobility.
(”There is nothing gendered about a sexy cat.”)
At the stake-out, Jake and Amy try to convince Teddy that they’re too boring for pilsners.
Teddy surprises them by agreeing that pilsners are boring and doesn’t drink them any more! In
fact, after he broke up with Amy, he also realized that he’s too boring. In fact, he has a girlfriend
and they spent two weeks in San Diego last year. He said that at the precinct, he was joking.
”Humor is the tool of the interesting.”
But slowly, Teddy reveals that his life still can be considered boring. Who goes to ”jazz
brunches”? The three of them laugh, but it’s clear that Amy and Jake aren’t really excited about
going to a jazz brunch. Teddy will even email the invite to the two of them.
The situations at the precinct are not going well. Terry doesn’t really know Japanese and the
rats are now being redirected to the evidence room. (Gina needs the break room for meditation
and plotting her revenge on NYC buses.) Also, Boyle is stuck.
Teddy can’t stop talking about jazz brunch. He takes a bathroom break, so Amy and Jake talk
about how boring Teddy still is. Jake can’t even believe Amy would ever date this guy, unless
he has a big wiener. Jake starts spiraling, but during his crisis, one of the gangsters leaves the
building across the street. Amy runs to take a picture and Jake declares this a successful stake-
out. Teddy comes back. He forgot his phone... which recorded Jake and Amy’s entire conversation
about how boring he is!
When Jake and Amy arrive at the boring jazz brunch, they find Teddy and his girlfriend Rachel
(Jama Williamson) already there. They decided to go to get Teddy’s phone so they could delete
the recording and save the Nine-Nine. The plan is to stage a fight, during which Jake will flip
over the table and grab Teddy’s phone.
Amy is a little too good at convincing Teddy and Rachel that she has reasons to fight with
Jake. The two argue over why they were late to the brunch. They then ask their friends how they
met and it’s as boring as you can guess. They met on an elevator. That’s the whole story. Amy
then says that their relationship is now going stale.
170
”OK, you want some action, Jackson? Well how about I make a scene?” Jake says. He tries
to flip the table, but it’s bolted down. ”Oh what a shock! You tried something and it failed,” Amy
says. So, Jake decides to swipe everything off the table instead. This was enough to get the phone
on the floor and Teddy offers to help. But Amy insists that he keep his eyes on her while she
makes a sincere apology.
When Jake returns from the floor, he claims that Teddy’s phone fell precisely inside a glass of
orange juice. Amy then gets up and storms away. The two storm off at the same time instead!
Back at the precinct, Terry thinks he’s fixed the copier machine. Holt tells Terry that he’s
never been more prouder of anything Terry has ever done in his life. Diaz then arrives with more
good news: they caught all the rats.
When Holt, Diaz and Terry arrive at the evidence locker, they find blood and rat footprints all
over the floor. They chewed themselves free and ate the purest cocaine in the history of the city
that was left in an evidence box! ”They know no fear or pain!” Terry says. They then spot one of
the rats going up, inside a wall. ”Boyle!”
The rats start attacking Boyle, who is still stuck in the ceiling. He crashes through the ceiling,
right onto the copier in the break room! ”They survived the fall!” Boyle screams as we hear rats
squeaking. ”RUN!”
Outside, Jake and Amy praise each other for their performances at the brunch. But then
Jake realizes that there might have been some truth about what Amy said. She really doesn’t
care about his sneakers.
Teddy suddenly climbs out of a taxi, so Amy and Jake resume their ”fake” fight. Teddy inter-
rupts their fight to tell them that he’s still in love with Amy. Rachel is right behind him and is
shocked to hear this. ”This is super uncomfortable,” Jake says.
Jake tries to diffuse the situation, but Teddy tells Amy that he’s still not over her (even with
his new girlfriend standing right next to him). He assumed that after the fake fight, Jake and
Amy weren’t as perfect together as he thought and there might be an opportunity for him to win
Amy back. Teddy insists that they are perfect, so he drops to one knee and proposes marriage!
Amy tells him point-blank, ”I don’t want to be with you.” Teddy is stumped, because he sees
how different the two of them are. But Amy says that’s what she loves about Jake. Amy then tries
to tell Teddy the truth about the fight, but Jake stops her. ”Amy is dying. She has one month
to live. Marrying her would be a waste of time,” Jake says. Amy still tells Teddy the truth about
that recording. Teddy then tells Amy that he still loves her, and asks Rachel if she wants to go to
a museum with him. ”No!” the other three yell.
Holt called NYPD facilities to ask if they could get an emergency crew to fix the mess, but he
was just laughed at. Diaz blames Boyle for not letting the rats eat him. But Terry blames Diaz for
giving the rats access to cocaine. And then Diaz reminds them all that it’s Gina’s fault because
no one can say no to her.
This gives Holt an idea. He takes Gina to NYPD facilities and the guy who runs the department
can’t say no to someone who got hit by a bus.
Six hours later, Jake and Amy finally arrive at the precinct and it looks amazing. They catch
everyone else up on the events of the past day with Teddy. Teddy later arrives at the precinct,
disheveled. Although he has come to terms with being incredibly boring, he still won’t give them
a fair evaluation. Instead, he decided to recuse himself. When Amy tells him that he appreciates
his decision, he tries to propose again!
Teddy tells them that the new auditor will be Lt. Hopkins. ”Veronica Hopkins?” a concerned
Terry asks. Hopkins (Kimberly Herbert Gregory of Vice Principals) is Terry’s ex-girlfriend. ”Why
can’t any of you keep it in your pants?” Boyle asks.
Hopkins arrives and hugs Terry. ”I am shutting down the Nine-Nine and there is nothing you
can do about it,” she whispers in his ear.
”This place is fantastic,” Hopkins tells everyone. ”This is going to be fun!”

Serve & Protect

Season 4
Episode Number: 82
Season Episode: 14

Writer: Andrew Guest, Alexis Wilkinson
Director: Michael Schur
Guest Stars: Sujata Day (Sarah), Nathan Fillion (Mark Devereaux), Greg Germann
(Gary Lurmax), Kimberly Hebert Gregory (Veronica Hopkins), Diana Lu
(Mattingly), Kelly Sullivan (Cassie Sinclair), Juliet Tondowski (Young
Woman)
Summary: Terry’s ex replaces Teddy in evaluating the precinct, but Jake and
Rosa are distracted by a burglary case that occurred on the set of their
favorite detective show, leading the pair to pass time with the series
star and producer, who meddle in the case and charm Jake with the
glamour of show business.
The episode kicks off right with Hopkins

explaining the situation to the squad.
Terry asks her if she really thinks she
is fit to do this, considering their past.
She insists that their history will not keep
her from doing a valid evaluation of the
precinct, even though she now has a fear
of intimacy that has troubled every sub-
sequent relationship.
Jake gets really nervous as Hopkins
leaves. He tells Terry that there’s only one
thing he can do: divorce his wife, aban-
don his children and get back with Hop-
kins to save the precinct. Terry instantly
refuses to do so. ”Come on, you didn’t
even consider it!”
Diaz is still having trouble getting the copy machine to work. She wants to fax her resume
to other precincts, since she’s sure that the Nine-Nine will be closed down. ”Why are you being
such a Gloomy Gus?” Jake asks. ”I’m a Realistic Randy,” Diaz replies. She later adds that she
hates people, life sucks and nothing good ever happens.
Jake tries to cheer up Rosa, but Scully’s discovery of a bag with a cupcake inside does little
to lighten the mood. So, he tells her that he has a great case. An actress named Cassie Sinclair
(Kelly Sullivan) has had her laptop stolen and she stars on Serve & Protect, their favorite cop
show. The laptop has some compromising material on it. The case gets Diaz a little excited, so
they take the case to keep their mind of bigger matters.
Later, Hitchcock and Scully run into the break room to tell Terry and Amy that Hopkins is
really out to get them. Gina says they just have to figure out what Terry did that was so bad to
Hopkins and apologize. Unfortunately, Terry can’t think of anything specifically. He didn’t cheat
173
on her and didn’t date one of her friends. So, Amy thinks she can engage in some ”girl talk” with
Hopkins to figure this out.
Amy goes up to Hopkins, telling her, ”It’s time for some girl talk.” She’s immediately met by
someone who does not want to small talk. ”Let me see that bra!” ”Excuse me?”
”It didn’t work,” Amy says as she walks back into the break room. ”What else we got?”
At the set of Serve & Protect, Jake and Diaz meet Sinclair, who is instantly impressed with
the way Jake wears his badge around his neck. He then gives her some acting tips that are
useless. The conversation turns to the case at hand then. Executive Producer Gary Lurmax
(Greg Germann) then shows up, and is surprised to see that Sinclair brought detectives in. This
immediately raises Diaz’s suspicions, but Jake is impressed.
Back at the precinct, Boyle requests a conversation with Holt in the bathroom, even though
he’s steadfastly against bathroom chats. Boyle doesn’t want Hopkins to hear what he has to say.
He thinks he knows what she’s going through since he’s been broken up with six — no, wait,
210 — times. ”My point is, I’m worried that Veronica will never forgive Terry.” He wants to know
who is above Hopkins on the command chain that Holt can appeal to. Sadly, that person is on
vacation in the Poconos. Boyle suggests they go out there, pretend to run into him and have a
little conversation about the Nine-Nine.
At first, Holt doesn’t think this is a good idea since it’s not protocol, but he thinks it might
work. ”You know Boyle, you’re a bad influence on me.”
”I’ve never been a bad influence on anyone!” Boyle say. ”Should I bring my leather jacket? It’s
ankle-length and fitted. I won’t bring it. It’s too nice.”
At the movie set, Diaz and Jake learn that the thief had to have broken Sinclair’s briefcase in
order to steal it from her trailer. Then, co-star Mark Devereaux (Nathan Fillion) walks in and the
two real detectives freak out about meeting the man who plays a fake one. Devereaux apparently
thinks he can act like a TV cop while investigating a case in real life (on a fictional TV sitcom...
WOAH!). Sinclair said her co-star thinks he’s really a detective because he’s been playing one for
15 years.
Sinclair has to get to work, but Devereaux stays behind and picks up the laptop case with his
bare hands, getting his fingerprints all over it! ”Never wear gloves on the show. Fans loves to see
my fingers... almost as much as they love to see my feet. Google it.”
Later, Jake freaks out about Devereaux giving him his business card and telling him to call
the actor if there’s anything else. The executive producer then comes up and tells the two real
detectives that they have great chemistry. He asks them if they’d be interested in becoming
consulting producers and Jake agrees to it. But something smells really fishy to Diaz, who thinks
Lurmax is trying to buy them off. Jake insists that it would take more than a job offer to make
him compromise the integrity of the badge, just as Lurmax offers some chicken fingers. Diaz rolls
her eyes.
After the break, Diaz and Jake meet up. Diaz is sure that Lurmax is up to something, but
Jake say that this is just how showbiz works. Jake still isn’t buying this. After all, Lurmax is
rich. Why would he need to steal a laptop. It’s for leverage, Diaz explains. He’s been fighting with
Sinclair over her contract. Diaz says that all of this has been a ploy to keep them off the trail,
but Jake thinks it’s real because he knows Hollywood. He knows Hollywood so well that he can’t
tell a real door from a fake.
Back at the precinct, Amy and Gina ask Terry to walk through his relationship with Hopkins.
He still thinks he didn’t do anything wrong because he respects women. (”I want to pay for a
sandwich with a $10 Ellen DeGeneres.”) He says he took her out for the perfect break-up dinner
and said all the right words. It was such a good break-up that the other guests at the restaurant
applauded! Gina doesn’t believe him, so she and Amy still want to keep grilling him.
In the Poconos, Holt and Boyle run over their plan to ambush Deputy Commissioner Grayson
to get him to make sure Hopkins doesn’t recommend the Nine-Nine be shut down. To make sure
they were on the right floor of the hotel, Boyle called the desk and pretended to be Grayson’s
mother. Grayson then walks up to the elevator and does not want to talk about this while on
vacation. He tells them to bring up their problems with their auditor. A young woman then walks
up and calls Grayson ”lover.” Grayson pretends that the woman is his goddaughter.
In their hotel room, Boyle thinks he can use this to his advantage. Like Bugs Bunny, he wants
to blackmail Grayson. Holt thinks this is a really bad idea. ”I am no Bugs.” Rather than break
the law though, Boyle suggests they insinuate that they can blackmail him by letting Grayson
174
know that they figured out what’s going on. They can ask him how his wife is, and then Grayson
can think that they’re going to blackmail him. Boyle and Holt go back and forth about how he
will ask Grayson how his wife is.
At the set, Sarah (Sujata Day), a production assistant, tells Jake and Diaz that she doesn’t
think anyone would steal Cassidy’s laptop. Devereaux stops by and does his detective schtick,
pretending to grill Sarah before Diaz stops him. ”Sometimes, I wonder why I do this job,” the
actor says. ”You don’t,” Diaz reminds him. She asks Sarah were Lurmax was last night and
Sarah remembers that he asked her to tell him when Sinclair left her trailer. ”Hm. Interesting,”
Diaz says. Jake then asks if the donuts are free.
In Lurmax’s office, he comes up with an excuse for going through Sinclair’s trailer. Diaz tries
her best to interview the producer, but he keeps avoiding questions by tossing bait at Jake.
When Lurmax leaves to get the writers, Diaz tells Jake to focus. Diaz tells Jake that he’s being
manipulated by the prime suspect. Jake just thinks she’s seeing the worst in everyone. But Diaz
tells him that he’s being a bad cop.
After another break, Jake shows the writers and Sinclair how he’d take down a cannibal. He
did find out that all of the writers have an alibi, so none of them are thieves. While he was off in
Fantasyland, Diaz says she solved the case. She found security footage that shows Lurmax going
into Sinclair’s trailer to get the laptop.
Gina offers Terry a yogurt, but then throws it at the wall. She and Amy still want the truth
about Hopkins and Terry’s break-up. Terry says he did everything right, even waiting 18 months
after her mom died to break up with her. ”Seriously?” Amy and Gina ask. Terry then tells them
that he got his break-up gift for Hopkins when he was first planning on breaking up with her.
The gift receipt revealed when he really wanted to break-up with her.
At the hotel, Holt begins to try to ”insinuate” to Grayson, but Boyle stops him. Boyle says that
one of the reasons why he likes working at the Nine-Nine is because of Holt and his unwavering
morals. He doesn’t want to see his boss sacrifice that to save the precinct. ”I’d rather we split
up than compromise who we are.” Holt then tells Boyle that he’s happy that they won’t lower
themselves to blackmail. ”I agree. From now on, the only black male I want anything to do with
is you,” Boyle says. Eek.
Later, Diaz and Jake present Lurmax with an arrest warrant. Diaz then finds the backpack
they saw him with on the security footage. Sadly, all that’s in the bag is painkillers. Lurmax says
that Sinclair has a pain killer problem and the show has been trying to help her. That’s why he
was surprised that she called the cops. Sadly, Jake already told Lurmax that he hates the show
and the job offer was rescinded.
At the precinct, Jake is watching the show on his computer. Diaz asks him if he’s going OK,
but he’s really angry that all his Hollywood hopes fell apart. Now, Jake agrees with Diaz that
everything is awful and they’ll never solve the case. However, he does reassure her that they will
still be friends, even if the Nine-Nine is broken up. When she tells him to get his hands off her,
he thinks he’s solved the case.
They bring in Devereaux to show him that one scene where the actor once wore gloves on
the show, even though he said he never does. They realize that Devereaux wanted them to see
him put his fingerprints on the backpack because he’d already touched it. Jake theorizes that
Devereaux was going to post the compromising photos online to derail Sinclair’s career. The actor
denies it, but Diaz throws the laptop on the table. They found it in the trunk of his car. ”I stand
corrected. Yeah, you got me. I did it,” Devereaux says. ”Good job.”
Later, Terry heads over to Hopkins and apologizes for how he handled the break-up. He’s
realized that being nice to someone also means being honest, even if it hurts their feelings.
However, he says she doesn’t have to accept his apology. He just wants her to give the precinct a
shot. Sadly, she already turned in her report and it was real bad.
During the closing credits, a scene from Serve & Protect plays, showing a criminal named
”Jake Peralta, the grossest pervert of all time!” Sinclair’s character then repeatedly shoots him.
”They used my name!” Jake yells.

The Last Ride

Season 4
Episode Number: 83
Season Episode: 15

Guest Stars: Drew DiFonzo Marks (Greg), Kevin Dorff (Hank), Dale Pavinski (Dom),
Kenny Stevenson (Mark), Deren Tadlock (Marv)
Summary: Jake and Charles go to extremes to apprehend a local bike thief in
what could be their last case as partners. Meanwhile, Terry isn’t in the
lead for Mr. Nine-Nine, leaving Rosa determined to boost his ego; and
Amy spends some precious time with Holt.
The squad learns that either the Seven-

Four or the Nine-Nine is getting shut
down, and the hearing is just a few hours
away. Holt says that the Seven-Four has
a significant advantage since it has an
elite gang taskforce. Jake blames the cap-
tain for not giving him his own ”Strike
Team Thunder Kill Alpha Colon Hard
Target.”
Jake believes that the precinct can
still be saved if they solve a big case be-
fore the hearing, and Holt gives him and
Charles one that involves a stolen bike.
Jake and Charles go all out on what could
be their last case together. They get a
striped Mustang as their undercover vehicle and even wear matching leather jackets.
Gina, meanwhile, says she has already ”moved on” and decides to prank everyone in the Nine-
Nine one by one by getting them to drink cement. She live streams all of her pranks on her new
online portal called Ginazon for her ”legions of followers.”
Amy finds out that Holt has been discreetly mentoring her all this time. The captain even has
a binder full of notes for her to learn. Holt attempts to throw it away since they will no longer be
able to work together when the precinct gets shut down, but Amy convinces the captain to teach
her everything in their remaining hours.
Jake and Boyle arrest the bike thief, who turns out to be a heroin delivery guy. They find out
that he works for Dom, one of the biggest heroin suppliers in the city. Dom uses BMX riders to
move the drugs, so Jake pretends to be one and auditions for a spot.
Unfortunately, Jake fails a race contest against Dom’s worst rider. Good thing that Boyle is
able to plant a bug on the rider’s bike when he bumps him. They later track him down along
with the drug lord. But the two decide not to arrest Dom and his crew until an actual transaction
takes place to solidify the case and possibly bring in a bigger fish, even at the expense of the
Nine-Nine.

Holt reveals to the entire squad that Jake and Charles aren’t going to make the hearing, but
says he is proud of them for choosing to be loyal to the city and its citizens, and not just the
precinct. Later, the captain announces that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is safe and isn’t shutting down
thanks to Gina. She live streamed Holt’s speech, which received massive online support.

Guest Stars: Danny Araujo (Officer Jellison), Theodore Barnes (Little Terry), Merrin
Dungey (Sharon Jeffords), Casey Feigh (Eugene), Christopher Griffin
(Bully), Desmond Harrington (Officer Maldack), Mary Holland (Tricia),

Jeffords)
Summary: Terry wants to file an official complaint against a police officer who
stopped Sgt. Jeffords while he was off-duty in his own neighborhood,
but Capt. Holt has other ideas. Meanwhile, Jake and Amy get a glimpse
into the difficulties of parenthood and answer some tough questions
when they babysit Terry’s kids.
Terry asks Holt to give him additional

responsibilities so he could do more
with his position. The captain tells the
sergeant to apply as a city council liai-
son, a rewarding but challenging open-
ing. Terry is ecstatic, but he is forced to
move fast as the application is due the
next day. It also requires lot of paperwork
for him to do.
Terry is unable to pick up his twin
daughters from day care due to his work-
load. His wife is also out of town. Jake
and Amy volunteer to fetch Terry’s girls,
but they lose one of the twins’ blankie
named Moo Moo on the way home. Terry’s
daughters can’t sleep without their security blankets, so he looks around the neighbourhood to
find Moo Moo.
The sergeant finds the blankie near his house, but a white police officer named Maldack stops
him and questions his motives. Terry, who is wearing casual clothes and without a badge, doesn’t
get a chance to tell the roving policeman that he too is a law enforcement officer. Instead of filing
a formal complaint, Terry decides to meet up with Maldack to discuss the incident and make
sure that it doesn’t happen again.
Jake and Amy babysit the twins while Terry is out with Maldack, but they panic when the
children ask them about the sergeant’s racial profiling. They defuse the situation by giving the
kids cake and making them watch DVDs. When it doesn’t work for a second time, Jake and Amy
finally talk to the twins about the reality of their dad’s situation.
Terry decides to file a complaint against Maldack, who is unapologetic and insists that he was
only doing his job. But the sergeant is bewildered when Holt doesn’t submit his complaint. The
179
captain reasons that it’s the wrong thing to do and that the complainant is usually the one who
gets besmirched for blowing the whistle on fellow police officers.
The next day, Holt realises that Terry deserves his justice and files the sergeant’s complaint.
The captain invites Terry for a drink at his office and tells him that he didn’t get the liaison
position. Holt says that they should drink anyway for ”doing the right thing.”

Summary: The precinct head to the Tri-State Police Officers’ annual Cop-Con,
which is usually the Nine-Nine’s excuse for a big annual party, but the
squad’s fun is threatened this year when Holt asks them to be on their
best behavior.
The squad is set to go the annual Cop-

Con to blow off some steam after a rough
year. Holt, however, tells his officers to
behave at the event to protect the Nine-
Nine’s reputation. The captain is also
running for a seat on the convention’s
board of directors to boost the precinct’s
credibility.
Upon arriving at Cop-Con, Norman
meets Cindy, a fellow officer who’s appar-
ently a female version of himself. Norman
is awestruck and jumbles his words while
he’s talking to her. Amy and Gina help
him with Cindy by telling him what to say
via an earpiece, but it backfires as Cindy
is afraid of the new ”confident” Norman. The next day, he goes and talks to her at the bar in his
normal Scully way and they hit it off.
Despite the captain’s instructions, Jake insists on having a party. He throws one in his hotel
room unbeknownst to Holt, who drops by in the middle of the party to ask Terry for some help
with his presentation. Jake doesn’t let him into the room and instead takes the captain’s laptop,
promising to give it to Terry.
The following morning, Holt asks for his laptop, but Jake finds out that it’s lost. The squad
takes some time before retrieving the laptop and returning it to the captain, and Rosa is forced
to join Holt for a short exercise as a distraction despite her hangover. When Holt opens his
presentation, all it shows is his squad’s embarrassing pictures from the party the night before.
The captain’s long-time rival and co-candidate, Jeffrey Boucher, admits to the laptop’s tampering.
Later, Jake apologises to Holt for the whole mess. But the captain says that the most upsetting
part of the Cop-Con was not his failed bid, it was the fact that he didn’t get to enjoy and party
with his squad. His officers make up for it by joining him at the Thermometer Museum.

Summary: Jake and Rosa search for Amy, who suddenly vanished hours before
taking the Sergeant Exam.
Amy is having difficulties before her

Sergeant exam. She wants to become the
youngest captain in the history of the
NYPD, but the pressure is catching up
with her. She is easily agitated and bursts
with fits of rage.
Jake sets up a simulated practice test
for Amy in order to reduce her anxiety,
but she walks out and disappears after
a while. They try to call her from Terry’s
phone hoping she’d answer her superior
officer, only to discover that she left all of
her things on her desk.
After a long search, Jake finally finds Amy. She says she did great on the practice test, but
she’s afraid that passing the Sergeant exam might change things between him and her. Jake
assures her that it’s going to be okay, and that she’s too good to be afraid of being successful.
Later, Amy aces the test, finishing it 45 minutes early.
Meanwhile, Charles is jealous of Gina because their recently passed aunt left her the family’s
”sour dough starter,” although she’s grossed out by it. Charles offers to take it, but Gina insists
that he buys it from her for a very steep amount. By the time Charles has the money, Gina
accidentally burns the whole mother dough.
Both Charles and Gina get banished by the Boyle family for the incident. Gina makes another
mother dough to replace the old one and appeals to the family to let Charles back in, which they
did.
Terry and Holt have different opinions regarding the soft room’s model train station. Terry
thinks that it should be done with a creative imagination while Holt wants it to be as real world
accurate as possible. They split the train set into two parts to see which setup a witness’ child
likes better, but the kid says trains are lame and that he only wants to play video games. The
sergeant and the captain patch things up and play with their setup.

loway (Bella), Abigail Marlowe (Daniella Andrade), Fernando Martinez
(Marco), Christopher McDaniel (Tom), Kim Estes (Suspicious looking
man)
Summary: Capt. Holt’s mom seeks support from the precinct after her house
is robbed; Terry, Rosa and Boyle remodel the break room; and Amy
teaches Gina how to change her car tire.
The captain’s mother, Laverne, is at the

precinct to report the burglary that hap-
pened at her house. Holt assigns Jake the
case, but also tags along during the in-
vestigation. They suspect that one of the
people at Laverne’s wine club is the cul-
prit since a club member was also vic-
timised a few months back.
Jake and the captain attend the next
wine club session undercover. They use
different names and addresses when the
receptionist asks for their info. The two
immediately notice a suspicious-looking
man who’s frequently looking Laverne’s way.
Jake and Holt introduce themselves to the onlooker, who says his name is George. After
a short and awkward convo, George leaves the place. Holt tells his mother about their main
suspect, but Laverne confides to Jake that George is innocent and he is, in fact, her lover of two
years.
The following day, Jake is forced to tell Holt the truth about George before the captain almost
busts his mother’s lover. Holt is shocked and hurt that Laverne didn’t let him know about George.
Even after Jake captures the culprits, who turns out to be the wine club’s receptionist and her
husband, Holt is still dejected.
Jake urges Holt to talk things out with his mother. Laverne promises to be ”15 percent more
forthcoming” about her personal details. Holt, for his part, pledges to implement a ”12 percent
increase in impromptu communication.”
Terry meanwhile, revamps the precinct’s break room with the help of Rosa and Charles. The
new clean atmosphere is not well taken by the rest of the squad, though, especially Hitchcock
and Scully. After the three renovators find the new room to be aesthetically pleasing but non-
functional, they restore it to its old form with Hitchcock and Scully’s assistance.
185
Amy is disappointed to learn that Gina doesn’t know how to change tires. She offers to teach
her how to do the job, but Holt’s assistant never looks at Amy while she’s doing the work. Later,
Amy slashes a tire of what she thinks is Gina’s car, only to find out it belongs to a fellow officer.
Before she gets to tell the car owner about the accident, Amy finds out that the tire has been
replaced. Gina appears and takes credit for the repair, although she admits that she learned
to do so by watching a tutorial video. Gina also discloses that she used Amy’s tire for the job,
rendering the latter’s car unusable.

The Slaughterhouse
Season 4
Episode Number: 88
Season Episode: 20

Guest Stars: Gina Gershon (Lieutenant Melanie Hawkins), Dutch-Barre Johnson
(Billy Ocampo), Phil Miler (Alan Straunch)
Summary: Jake and Rosa try to earn the respect of their idol; and Charles, Terry
and Gina test different parenting methods to resolve a conflict between
Scully and Hitchcock.
Peralta and Diaz mistakenly bust the un-

dercover officers of their idol, Lieutenant
Melanie Hawkins, who chastises them for
wasting three months’ worth of opera-
tion. The target, Billy Ocampo, flees with
stolen diamonds. Hawkins tells Diaz and
Peralta to drop the case, but they insist
on doing it anyway.
Hawkins lets Diaz and Peralta work
the case with her, and tells them that a
spot is open on her task force. What be-
gins as a joint venture turns into serious
competition as Diaz and Peralta go as far
as sabotaging each other to gain the lieutenant’s respect. In the end, they capture Ocampo with
each other’s help, only to find out that Hawkins is — as Peralta puts it — ”dirty.”
Holt, meanwhile, loses the pen he borrowed from Amy. Gina assures the captain that Amy
won’t get mad at him for losing her ”best friend” because she has too much respect for him. Holt
tells Amy to make her feelings known and to tell him off, but he gets disappointed when she
fakes it.
The captain returns the gesture and fakes blaming himself for Amy’s repression. It works, as
Amy starts getting angry at Holt for his self-blame, although it gets a little overboard when he
tells him to shut up.
Jeffords asks Boyle’s help regarding Scully and Hitchcock. The two best friends have been
fighting the whole day because Scully lied about not showing up for their usual Sunday dinner.
Jeffords and Boyle attempt some ”daddy discipline” on the two, but it doesn’t work and only
makes things worse.
Linetti interferes and tells Jeffords and Boyle that they’re doing it wrong. Scully and Hitch-
cock, she says, should not be treated like children or adults, but like animals. Gina then uses
dog discipline on the two best friends, and it works, as Scully and Hitchcock apologise to each
other right away.

Season Episode: 21

Writer: Carol Kolb
Director: Matthew Nodella
Guest Stars: Gina Gershon (Lieutenant Melanie Hawkins), Adam Johnson (Hayes
Chett), Jason Mantzoukas (Adrian Pimento), Ryan Phillippe (Milton)
Summary: Jake and Rosa continue their search for a bank-robbing operation
with Lt. Hawkins and discover a dangerous secret, leading them to
call for back-up from Holt and Pimento; and Boyle objects to Gina’s
new boyfriend.
Terry, Amy and Charles notice that Gina

has been frequently going out during
working hours over the last few days.
They suspect that she’s pregnant, and
they get even more suspicious when they
find out about Gina’s list of baby names
in her computer. Charles is unable to
contain himself and later confronts Gina,
who admits to being with child.
Gina hints that a Boyle is the baby
daddy. Charles is excited at first, but gets
disappointed when he finds out that his
cousin Milton is the one who got Gina
pregnant. Milton, a professional snowboarder, arrives at the precinct to take Gina out to din-
ner. Charles belittles him, which baffles Amy and Terry as Milton is not only successful at what
he does, he’s also good-looking compared to the other Boyle cousins.
Meanwhile, Jake and Rosa tell Holt about Lieutenant Hawkins and her crooked ways. The
captain advises his two officers to solidify their claim with adequate evidence as Hawkins is one
of the most revered detectives in the NYPD. They enlist the help of Rosa’s fiancé, Adrian Pimento,
to guide them through their ”dirty” transformation.
Jake and Rosa fake beat Pimento at the Slaughterhouse, much to the admiration of Hawkins.
The lieutenant then invites Jake and Rosa for a drinks-and-drugs session to cap the night off.
Both Jake and Rosa bring fake cocaine, but they are ultimately hammered by too much alcohol.
The following morning, Hawkins tells Jake and Rosa that she and her crew are robbing a
bank. She wants them to join in on the heist for crowd control. Jake and Rosa say yes, but sends
Holt a message about the bank and its location so the Nine-Nine could bust in on Hawkins.
Unfortunately for the two undercover cops, Hawkins gave them the wrong bank details. Holt
and the Nine-Nine end up going to a wrong and perfectly secure bank while a different squad
busts Jake and Rosa with Hawkins leading the way. The lieutenant then pins them as Golden
Gang members.

(Pandemic), Brent Briscoe (Officer Matthew Langdon), Adam Johnson
(Hayes Chett), Elisa Perry (Nancy Crunder), Bunnie Rivera (Jury Fore-
man), Kulap Vilaysack (2nd Hacker)
Summary: Jake and Rosa are framed for a crime they didn’t commit, and it’s up
to the squad to find a way to bust them out.
Jake and Rosa face 15 years in prison for

a crime they did not commit. The two are
out on bail, but Hawkins still has a strong
case against them. It also doesn’t help
that the lieutenant is one of the NYPD’s
most esteemed law enforcement officers.
Jake and Rosa have strong alibis for
the three other Golden Gang robberies
they are accused of. Also, the defence
is confident enough that the opposition
can’t trace back the money that Jake has
supposedly stolen. Unfortunately for the
pair, Hawkins smashes their alibis with
cleverly made up backstories and docu-
ments. She even puts money into Jake’s
bank account.
Charles is so stressed out of losing his best friend Jake to jail that all of his hair turns white.
He and Terry meet up with a hacker and ask him to trace back the sources of the money that
showed up on Jake’s account. But the hacker has difficulty with the task, so he enlists the help
of two others to do the job.
Jake discovers that an officer named Matthew Langdon disappeared shortly after joining
Hawkins’ squad. Amy and Jake find his location and ask him to testify against the lieutenant.
After initially declining, Langdon agrees to go to court against Hawkins.
Rosa decides to leave for Argentina, where her fiancé is waiting for her. Holt asks her to stay
and prove that she’s innocent. The captain tells her that the Nine-Nine is her family and that the
squad will miss her when she flees, but Rosa insists she has made up her mind. She later arrives
at the hearing, and says she isn’t ready to say goodbye to her family.
The hackers find out that Langdon’s place is one of the sources of Jake’s money. Terry tells
Amy about the new information, but they are unable to stop the testimony of Langdon, who
apparently still works for Hawkins. He testifies against Jake and lauds the lieutenant, calling
her the most honourable cop he has ever worked with. Afterwards, the jurors find Jake and Rosa
guilty on all charges.

The Big House Pt.1

Season 5
Episode Number: 91
Season Episode: 1

Guest Stars: Danielle Aubuchon (Jenny), Ryan Babcock (Matthews (Skinhead)),
Sarah Chaney (Visitation Guard #2), David Haley (Ryan), Toby Huss
(Warden Granville), Tim Meadows (Caleb), Mariano ’Big Dawg’ Men-
doza (Muscular Inmate), Clark Moore (Bryce), Lou Diamond Phillips
(Romero), Renes Rivera (Cyclops), Cary Huff (Lawyer)
Summary: Jake and Rosa assimilate to their new lives behind bars, but both
cope in very different ways. Jake bonds with his cellmate and is forced
to join a prison gang led by a notorious inmate. Meanwhile, in the
women’s prison, Rosa puts Holt and Terry to the test by having them
complete outrageous favors for her. Back in the precinct, Amy and
Charles are doing all they can to exonerate their colleagues.
The episode got things started with Boyle

dreaming over Jake being released from
prison. However, this was no simple
dream. Boyle was eating a stick of but-
ter, due to the stress over Jake’s incar-
ceration, Terry is trying to give everyone
a pep talk only for it to be far less than
effective as Hitchcock and Scully are a
bit confused on what is going on as they
seem to be unaware of their colleague’s
situation.
While all this is going on Jake sud-
denly appears to the delight of Boyle who
then receives most of Jake’s attention, despite his girlfriend Amy standing right next to him.
Jake then explains how Hawkins is on the run and he has been released, Captain Holt then
shows up to inform him that the Mayor has called to apologise and that due to everything that
happened he can take one male friend to Disneyland, cue Boyles delight as the entire bullpen
start chanting his name as he is chosen to go.
That’s as far as the dream goes as Boyle is then woken by Terry asking him if he were dreaming
of Jake again to which Boyle gets really angry as he wants to keep dreaming.
Jake is sporting a lovely new ’prison beard’. We meet his new cellmate and ’friend’ Caleb who
turns out to be in prison for cannibalism.
Jake is fairly positive and in a good mood as it is visiting day in the prison and he can’t wait
to see both Amy and Charles. When they finally meet Jake and Amy embrace in a warming hug
only for them to be told to stop hugging and sit down to the annoyance of Boyle who accuses
Amy of stealing all the ’touching time’ and demands to have it all at the end.
195
They then start discussing the case only for Jake to learn that they are no further forward on
this at all as Hawkins has covered her tracks very well.
All of a sudden, with only ten minutes into visiting time an incident occurs creating a ’lock-
down’ and an early ending to visiting an hour. This upsets Jake greatly as he is marched back to
his cell but it is Boyle who is more depressed as it means he gets no ’touching time’ at all now.
This incident turns Jake to take drastic steps, he enlists the help and wisdom of Caleb the
Cannibal to help him get a phone. Caleb puts him in touch with an inmate called Romero, a gang
leader and smuggler in the Gen Pop vicinity of the prison.
Jake and Romero agree on a standard prison rate fee for the phone of one hundred Picante
beef-flavoured ramen soups, because that is what prison currency is now. Jake, with the aid of
Boyle, manage to get this acquired amount, along with a little extra for himself and succeeds in
acquiring a phone so he can talk to the outside world.
After that, however, everything goes wrong for Jake.
The warden discovers that he has brought contraband, a.k.a ramen soup, into the prison.
This results in him and Caleb being transferred from protective custody to Gen Pop. Caleb, who
is initially scared of this transfer, quickly learns that everyone hates Jake more than him.
This new turn of events leads Jake to try and get himself some protection, which means he
has to join a gang. He seeks them out and conducts an interview-style presentation to try and
win them over, he even interviews for a gang named ISIS.
However, he is not too successful and in his last-ditch attempt seeks out Romero again to join
his gang. Thankfully, due to Jake giving some fine culinary advice on how to eat ramen soup
earlier, he is accepted, but only if he kills a prison guard by the name of Wilson.
Jake convinces him to only get him fired and that is all that needs to be done which they
agree on and give him the nickname, ’Beef Baby’.
’Beef Baby’ then enlists the help of Caleb to get Wilson fired. With the use of the contraband
phone, Caleb videos Wilson beating up ’Beef Baby’. Once again the Warden catches them in the
act. He comes clean to the Warden on what he was trying to do only for the warden to agree to
fire Wilson but only if he snitches for the warden.
Of course, Jake has no other real choice and agrees to this. Wilson is then fired and Jake is
accepted into Romero’s gang, but in the last moments of the episode, Romero gives him a stern
warning.
”I know you used to be a cop,” he says. ”If you screw me over, I will cut your testicles off and
watch you bleed to death in the dirt.”
It’s not a great start for Jake/’Beef Baby’ this season, hopefully, the Nine-Nine can get him
free as soon as possible.
Rosa, however, is having a different experience altogether. She is currently in solitary confine-
ment after initiating a few riots of sorts so as to gain the other prisoners trust.
Captain Holt and Terry are frequent visitors who, in their own way, are concerned for her.
Holt is scared she will become a victim of the prison dehumanization process and forget who she
is so repeatedly repeats her name, Rosa, every other word.
Terry, on the other hand, doesn’t want to get all emotional and upset her so has a permanent
smile stuck on his face making him look like he is in desperate need of the bathroom.
They both offer to help her as much as possible on the outside. This leads to Rosa providing
them with a huge list of tasks including moving her furniture to storage, filing her taxes, Terry
riding her motorbike and e-mailing love letters to Pimento.
This goes on for quite some time with the list getting bigger and crazier with both Holt and
Terry unable to say no until after they were giving what appeared to be the easiest and simplest
of tasks, cancelling her cable.
This led to a really great scene of both Holt and Terry attempting to cancel her cable for more
than 6 hours only for them to end up upgrading her package and locking her in for another 2
years.
In the end, Rosa is just messing with them really and wanted to see how much they would
actually do for her.
She reveals that she is truly scared, lonely and wants to get out of prison and return to normal
life as soon as possible.

The Big House Pt.2

Season 5
Episode Number: 92
Season Episode: 2

Guest Stars: Paul Adelstein (Seamus Murphy), Ryan Babcock (Matthews (Skin-
Head)), Winston James Francis (Tank), Gina Gershon (Lieutenant
Melanie Hawkins), Michelle Gillette (Debbie), David Haley (Ryan), Toby
Huss (Warden Granville), Tim Meadows (Caleb), Mariano ’Big Dawg’
Mendoza (Muscle Inmate), Lou Diamond Phillips (Romero)
Summary: When the warden asks Jake to investigate Romero’s drug smuggling
operation, Jake and Caleb find themselves caught between the loyalty
Jake has sworn to both of them. Meanwhile, Amy is offered a deal by
a local mobster who claims he can prove that Hawkins is guilty, but
Holt and the rest of the gang think they have a safer plan.
The show opened up with Jake sur-

rounded by his new gang, as he told them
a ”true and totally not made up” story
about himself. It was actually a complete
rip off from a movie he had watched.
Things get heated pretty quick how-
ever, as the guards call it time and Jake
is not happy about this as he hasn’t fin-
ished his lemon cookie. He decides to spit
it all over a guard in protest all for it to
lead to him being dragged off to solitary,
while the rest of the prisoners chant his
name.
This is all nothing but a cover though,
as it’s a way for Jake to secretly meet with
the warden. Oh yeah, if you missed the premiere episode Jake is a working as a secret double
agent for the warden and is reporting on his gang leader Romero’s dealings and Jake lets the
warden know when and where a new shipment of goods is coming in.
The warden thanks Jake for his work and informs him he will see Jake in five days when he
gets released in solitary; after all, he spit lemon cookie in the guard’s face.
Jake survives his time in the hole, which was no big deal. It just involved going slightly crazy
and performing a solo act of The Lion King, creating a mashed potato Amy, whose potato boob
would keep falling off, and a few other nervous breakdowns. Again it’s no big deal to learn that
the warden is not happy with Jake’s information, as it led to nothing but soap and other toiletries.
The warden wants to know about Romero’s shipment of Blizz, the prison drug that has taken
over and if Jake doesn’t come up with the goods he will tell everyone that he is nothing but a
snitch.
197
Jake is not exactly in a great position, so he turns to his one true friend in prison for advice,
Caleb the cannibal. They agree that if Jake learns where the drugs are and tells the warden,
Romero will know he is a snitch and will get castrated and killed. If he doesn’t find the drugs,
the warden will tell everyone he is a snitch and he will end up castrated and killed.
So not very good options.
However, Caleb comes to the rescue while discussing his past of eating 9 and a half people,
giving Jake a light bulb moment; stick to what you are good at, which in this case is being a
detective. Jake decides to work the case and find the drugs himself.
Jake then starts to tail Romero on his activities with Caleb for support. Caleb can’t help but
notice it’s a lot like being at summer camp with the endless waiting and watching; how a cannibal
ended up as a camp councillor baffles Jake.
They eventually get a breakthrough when they notice Romero goes into the showers for the
second time that day. Jake finds this pretty odd as no one likes prison showers and it is the most
stressful thing about prison.
So they both investigate the showers later and discover a melon baller; bit of a strange thing to
have until Jake clicks that this is what Romero uses to make the Bliss balls and that the reason
he uses the showers is not just because there are no cameras in the shower but also because
the soap is the drug.
The drug is made to look like bars of soap, smuggled in and then turned into Blizz balls with
a melon baller.
Jake is super excited as he cracked the case and no one will find out he is a snitch now.
There is only one problem, he rubbed the soap all over his body and is ridiculously high now.
This makes it difficult for him to tell the warden what he has learned but he manages in the
end and all looks good until Romero decides he can trust Jake and tells him about his drug
operation.
Definitely not good for Jake as once the Warden starts rounding up all the drugs Romero goes
after Jake. In a shocking twist, however, Caleb saves the day by taking the knife to the stomach
and saving Jake, for now anyway.
So it looks like all Caleb did was postpone the inevitable, that was until the warden appeared
to release him, as the Nine-Nine had arrested Lt. Hawkins. Jake both amazed and confused
happily leaves but not before he thanks, Caleb for what he did.
The show cuts to the Nine-Nine’s favorite drinking hole where they are all finally reunited
together again.
While this all played out the rest of the Nine-Nine were still desperately trying to prove that it
was Lt. Hawkins that was the criminal mastermind and get Jake and Rosa exonerated.
Things had certainly not been going to plan so far but an unlikely ally with important infor-
mation could be the key to what they needed to crack this case. While reorganizing the library,
because sane people do this you know, Amy is approached by criminal crime boss Seamus Mur-
phy, played by former Prison Break star Paul Adelstein.
Murphy offers Amy information that could see both Jake and Rosa released in exchange for
a favour. This information relates to Lt. Hawkins moving a huge shipment of diamonds in a few
days time that can prove that she is the one who has been behind these crimes all along.
Amy takes this offer back to the rest of the Nine-Nine, who are concerned on what accept-
ing this offer could mean for Amy and her career. They decide to work the case on the new
information of the diamond movement and try to solve it themselves.
To do this they need access to Lt. Hawkins phone as she uses Snapchat to coordinate her
movements and relay messages. Somehow, and nobody wants to ask why Scully is aware of
exactly how Snapchat works and what they need to do in order to get access.
But in order to do so, a distraction is required. Rosa then steps in and calls Hawkins to prison
to talk, while this goes on Captain Holt distracts a security guard with his entertaining tale of
his female lover all while Amy and Boyle break into Hawkins car, steals her phone, and installs
a mirror app to spy on her.
All goes well and they get the breakthrough they need, as Hawkins sends a message of time
and place for pick up. They stage a sting op and everything goes to plan but sadly it’s all for
nothing, Hawkins is one step ahead again and Jake and Rosa are still behind bars.
Things start to get pretty desperate back in the bullpen. Amy starts to consider contacting
Murphy for the information, despite the advice of everyone else but it is Captain Holt and his
198
knowledge of pigs who saves the day when we realise that one of Hawkins henchman has pigs;
pigs that are far too big and are being force-fed when they are already fit for slaughter. The
reason, Hawkins is using the pigs to smuggle the diamonds.
Holt’s suspicion turns out to be right and they recover the diamonds. Hawkins man confesses,
Hawkins is arrested and Jake and Rosa are freed.
A happy ending in the end for the Nine-Nine, who celebrate back at the bar, but in last second
twist we learn that Holt has been keeping a pretty big secret. He owes Murphy. We find out in the
last few seconds of the episode that Holt contacted Murphy for the information he had, which led
to the pigs and ultimately led to Jake and Rosa being freed, meaning Holt is now in a criminal
bosses debt.

Summary: Now that he’s officially back at the precinct and desperate to solve a
real case, Jake finds a loophole to get out of his temporarily designated
desk duty. Unfortunately, that loophole rests on his ability to pass an
official evaluation performed by Holt. While Charles provides Jake with
moral support, Terry and Amy help Rosa, who believes Pimento may
be cheating on her.
The episode kicks off with Jake paying for

takeout that has just been delivered. Ev-
eryone starts to wonder what he has or-
dered. He starts to explain to the whole
precinct that while in prison the food was
terrible and that he thought of nothing
but the foods that he missed.
He invites everyone into the briefing
room where he has gathered together all
the food that he missed for a special buf-
fet. Pizza, cheeseburgers, turkey dinner
and brisket covered the table, as he had
everyone gather round. He then raised a
toast with 2-liter bottles of pop as he gives
a tear-jerking speak to everyone.
Sadly Jake ends the speak trying to make it look like he totally forgot about his girlfriend Amy
so quickly mentioned having sex with her at the end of his speech, only forever one to chant,
”Sex with Amy!”
So despite Jake being freed from his ordeal in prison, he is unable to resume active duty
straight away. He is confined to desk duty, which infuriates him as he wants to get back to
solving the crime.
With the aid of Boyle, they discover there is a workaround to this and if Jake can pass an
evaluation test then he can get off desk duty. There are some drawbacks however. Captain Holt
is the one who must evaluate him and if he fails he will be suspended. This isn’t something Holt
wants to see happen.
Nevertheless Jake, and with the moral support of Boyle, take on the challenge and they start
to investigate a case where a show sneaker store had been robbed.
There isn’t much to go and it’s not a great start for Jake at first but they soon get a break in
the case. Jake spots on some CCTV footage of a queue forming outside of the store on the night
201
in question. Although this line would gradually move, the blue pop up tent that was part of it did
not.
That was because they were not interested in the moving down the line, but keeping that
exact spot. It covered a manhole cover, which enabled the thief to break into the storage room
of the sneaker store. Holt points out that they may have figured out how the thief did it but not
who. There is just no pleasing the man.
Jake does eventually manage to track down the thief and when they go to confront him it’s
made even easier with the fact that he is wearing a set of the stolen sneakers. He is arrested and
charged with the crime and Holt congratulates Jake in passing his assessment.
Boyle is over the moon and Jake is ecstatic and everything looks good for the two partners.
But no, Brooklyn Nine-Nine did not make it that straightforward. That would be a crime!
Jake awakes in the middle of the night with the sudden realization that he has gotten the
wrong man and has arrested an innocent person. Jake rushes over to Boyle’s apartment to get
his help, only for Boyle to answer the door completely naked.
They discuss what Jake has done and that if Holt finds out he will fail the evaluation and be
suspended. The two hatch a plan by putting out an advert to buy some of the stolen shoes on
the dark web. They get a hit and go undercover, dressed in some pretty questionable kit to find
their man.
The sting goes down only for the man in question to do a runner. They quickly catch up with
him and he confesses pretty quickly to everything that happened and to Boyle’s delight it turns
out that the original man they arrested is the actual thief.
Pity Jake released him earlier that day.
They both come clean to Holt. who is not exactly pleased with either of them. He now has no
choice but to suspend Jake.
In a surprising twist, Jake actually agrees and accepts what Holt says. He reveals that his
time in prison has actually affected him more than he thought; that because he was imprisoned
for something that he didn’t do he has become ineffective at his job and that is why he doubted
himself and freed the thief. He hands over his gun and badge with no regrets.
As the episode draws to a close Holt comes over to see Jake, who is packing his things. Holt
informs Jake that they managed to catch the thief because of Jake’s details on him, including
known alliances, hideouts etc.
Holt goes on to explain that because Jake had this revelation on his time in prison Holt is not
going to suspend him. In fact Jake passes his evaluation. Jake questioning the arrest makes him
more of an effective detective.
Rosa’s story — Rosa’s story couldn’t be any more different from Jake. She too has been confined
to desk duty, but instead of trying to get out of it she has just gotten on with it.
But Rosa had much more to deal with this week as her boyfriend Pimento is back from
Argentina and she suspects that he is cheating on her. She recruits both Amy and Terry to help
her out. Terry is more than happy to help, as he has his own experience with being cheated on
by a former Japanese girlfriend.
Rosa discovers receipts to a fancy restaurant that Pimento has been going to with whoever he
has been meeting. She decides on a stakeout, but she needs equipment first. Amy and Terry are
unable to lend her any kit as it’s against regulations, but Hitchcock is there to save the day. He
has his own stash of spy gear to lend out; we won’t ask why he has so much gear.
So she starts tailing Pimento on his movements. Everything seems normal at first (think sword
fighting, boxing and hopscotch) but her patience pays off and she witnesses him meeting another
woman outside the restaurant.
At this point, Pimento might want to run, just as Amy and Terry did when they saw her with
the whopping big knife. She confronts him and he comes clean. He has been learning Spanish
secretly so he could impress her father.
It’s not the answer Rosa thought she was about to get and it made her realise that she actually
wanted a reason to leave Pimento; that him not cheating on her was worse than him actually
cheating because she then had no reason to break up with him.
With the help of Amy’s awesome advice;
Rosa decides to call it off with Pimento and a touching exchange of blood being returned they
break up on the Nine-Nine balcony. Pimento decides to stay outside for a few moments to gather
202
his thoughts, so Rosa head inside.

Rosa tells Amy and Terry that it went okay, at which point Pimento slams up against the
window in tears sobbing uncontrollably. It went much better than expected.

Summary: The Nine-Nine has their fifth annual Halloween heist and everyone has
until midnight to claim the title of ”Amazing Human Slash Genius”.
The Halloween heist is on again. What

started as a Detective Jake Peralta vs
Captain Holt type event has now become
an entire Nine-Nine squad event.
This year saw the whole precinct com-
peting for the first time and the object
to steal was a super awesome cummber-
bund/belt.
They had until midnight to steal it
and the one who succeeded would be
crowned the winner and the ultimate de-
tective/genius.
Jake hangs the cummberbund/belt
from the ceiling in the middle of the
precinct for all to see. Everyone has a full
view of it meaning any attempt to steal it is futile.
That is until the lights go out. The precinct suffers a sudden and completely shocking, non-
related blackout.
Everyone panics and grabs whatever they can (we’ll let your imagination fill in the blanks).
The lights come back on and even more shocking non-related incident has happened. The
cummberbund/belt has vanished. Suddenly the computer monitors turn on, where they are
greeted by a werewolf mask-wearing Gina Linetti. She claims responsibility for stealing the
cummberbund/belt.
Everyone disperses to try and steal it back, well except for Sgt Terry Jeffords who is refusing
to play. Jake and Detective Charles Boyle head out and meet in a room where they are joined by
Boyle’s cousin. We then learn that it was the combined effort of Jake, Boyle and Boyle’s cousin
behind the blackout and disappearance of the belt. Gina is not involved in any way and it was
Boyle’s cousin pretending to be Gina.
Jake starts to gloat at his master plan and basks in his own glory when he is suddenly be-
trayed by Boyle who handcuffs him to a metal filing cabinet. In walks Detective Rosa Diaz and
Terry. The three had been working together all along against Jake. In fact, they had master-
minded this whole plan since the last Halloween Heist, one year ago.
They leave with the cummberbund/belt, with Jake handcuffed with only Boyle’s cousin for
company. The three of them then hide the cummberbund/belt beneath a computer server, which
only Terry can lift. They then leave and believe they will now win; that all they have to do is wait.
205
While Boyle, Rosa and Terry are now confident that they have won, both Holt and Detective
Amy Santiago are working on their own master plan. Holt inconspicuously looks like he is doing
nothing and is just working at his desk. But, he has rigged a pulley system beneath his desk
so that he can lift up the server only Terry can lift. Holt’s well-trained dog, Cheddar, retrieves
the cummberbund/belt and brings it to him. But, someone has already beaten him to it and the
item that Cheddar brings is not what Holt sought after.
Even worse, this dog is not Cheddar. Someone has stolen the real Cheddar. Needless to say
Holt is filled with rage and threatens to neuter the one responsible for stealing his dog.
By this point, Jake has become free by agreeing to invest in Boyle’s cousin’s pyramid scheme
involving health supplements. He watched the entire scene playout from the security cameras
and realized that Amy is the dog snatcher. She had switched Holt’s dog with a fake and has the
cummberbund/belt locked in her safe under her desk.
As time begins to run out smoke begins to come from the break room. Everyone begins to
panic when handmaidens from Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaids Tale come marching out
dressed in full handmaiden outfits and begin circling Amy’s desk.
Amy sees right through this plan however and reveals Jake, or should we say Ofamy, as the
mastermind behind this little stunt. She goes to check the safe knowing that Jake would have
attempted to break into it. But the safe is empty; someone has already broken into it. Once again
the chase is on as everyone goes their separate way in search of the cummberbund/belt.
Jake heads to the evidence room but Amy has already beaten him to it. She worked out
exactly what Jake’s plan was and headed straight to where the cummberbund/belt would have
been hidden. She discovers its exact hiding place thanks to dust patterns not being the same on
one box compared to all the rest.
But Jake looks anything but disappointed and he tells her to read what the engraving says
on it.
”Amy Santiago will you marry me?”
Amy turns around to see Jake down on one knee and making the funniest proposal ever to
Amy.
She says yes and they embrace in a warm hug. Boyle then walks in on them and realizes what
has happened. The emotion is too much for him and faints.
The Halloween Heist comes to an end and the Nine-Nine meet for drinks. Toasts are given by
everyone to Jake and Amy, congratulating them on their engagement.
The best toast award goes to Holt however as he congratulated them and pointing out that no
one won the Halloween Heist at the same time since the cummberbund/belt had been changed
and was no longer the real one.

Summary: To track down the infamous arms dealer Dan ”Daniel” Valdano, Jake
and Terry go undercover at an illegal gambling club, but when Holt
gets involved to coach the two in the art of poker, his addiction resur-
faces. Meanwhile, Boyle buys a food truck that was formerly used in a
brutal string of murders without telling his investor, Amy; and Hitch-
cock and Scully challenge Rosa to a ”Butt-lympics.”
The episode begins with Jake asking

Boyle to speak alone in the briefing room
which makes him get very excited as he
thinks he is going to be asked to be
best man. Everyone keeps telling him
that is not what is happening and when
alone Jake asks to swap shifts. Of course,
Charles, looking disappointed, says yes
and walks out of the room only to be
greeted with confetti, banners and cheers
from everyone asking him to be Jake’s
best man.
In pursuit of an arms dealer, Jake and
Terry speak to Captain Holt about going
undercover in a gambling club. Holt con-
siders the plan but is worried they may not be very good at cards. He tests their skills against
his own. Holt himself is an exceptionally good and experienced player as a result of his gambling
addiction.
Neither Jake nor Terry are any good at poker. Jake doesn’t even know the terminology while
Terry has a very obvious tell. The only person good enough is Holt but he won’t do it because of
his previous addiction.
Jake does have a unique solution to their problem though. He opts to go himself and wear
video surveillance equipment and Holt can tell him what to do. That way Holt is technically not
gambling and it won’t affect his addiction. Holt agrees and the mission is a go.
Things don’t start too well. Jake loses it all on the first hand but Holt is confident that the
odds of this ever happening are so slim he fronts up to his own cash. Everything goes well from
that point on with Jake cleaning up the house and getting invited to the VIP table where their
target will be.
Unfortunately, their master plan has backfired. Holt has relapsed and is betting on anything
and everything. They cut his internet off to try and stop him but this has no success what so
207
ever. They threaten to tell his husband and that seems to do the trick. Jake and Terry pull him
off the case so he can recover and they go it alone.
VIP night has arrived and Jake has his target in sight. But just as he is about to get going, a
familiar sound rings out across the floor. Holt is gambling and is now officially a liability. Jake
excuses himself and he, along with Terry, confronts Holt in the bathroom.
Holt makes the savage point that it is his own time. He is not a cop right now and can do
what he wants. Jake and Terry are not too pleased with this but leave him be as they still have
a job to do. Unbeknown to them a pooper was lurking. As soon as Holt is alone, an associate of
the arms dealer exits one of the stalls and outs a gun in Holt’s back.
He is now in a dangerous position as he is forced into a limo along with the arms dealer. They
drive out of town and Holt attempts to talk them down but it looks like this could be the end as
they plan to kill him and dump his body in the river.
But, Jake and Terry to the rescue. They tracked Holt via his mobile and rescued Holt and
arrested their arms dealer. How did they know he needed saving? Holt’s tell is the use of con-
tractions and during a phone call with Jake in the limo Holt used a double contraction.
Charles has always been known for food. He has his own blog and regularly acts as a food
critic along with making his own dishes. He is going to the next level by starting his own food
van business with Amy being a chief investor.
Their van, however, has a bit of a dodgy past. Charles bought it from an NYPD auction house
and it turns out that this van was involved in a string of murders. Victims had actually been cut
up and dismembered inside of it. They even found a knee in the fryer.
This makes Amy start panicking but Charles is as cool as day. In fact, he wants to call it the
murder van. It gets even worse as Charles tries to put Amy’s mind at ease by showing her the
van but when they get there it has been completely trashed with all the contents being thrown
out. Shame Charles didn’t get the insurance to be valid until the next day.
Turns out the previous owners had left several kilos of cocaine inside and they had come back
to get it. This is a bit of good news officially for Amy as it’s a crime scene again and it means they
can get their money back.
This doesn’t help Charles who is just disappointed. It wasn’t about the money for him but the
dream and that dream had just slipped away. Amy, in an attempt to put things right, gets the
money back and immediately reinvests it back to Charles on the conditions they do not get any
murder vans and insurance that is valid on the day of purchase.
Charles’ dream lives on.
Hitchcock and Scully Miller) are well-known for being sat on their butts throughout Brooklyn
Nine-Nine. You hardly ever see them out their chairs and Rosa can’t help but get a few digs in
over this.
This prompts them to both challenge her to the Butt’lympics. The rules are simple, both
cheeks on the chair at all times and if you come off your out. Toilet breaks are allowed but only
for a couple of minutes and at a set time and your chair goes in the stall with you.
Fast forward over 24 hours later and they are all still going. No one has left their seat and it’s
taking their toll. Rosa can’t feel her legs anymore and is getting butt cramps while Scully misses
his home chair. Hitchcock really wants to go get a hot dog but can’t leave.
They all suddenly have a realisation that they can get that hot dog; that only society is stop-
ping them. They then start wheeling themselves to the hot dog stand outside and get that hot
dog.
This moment is the beginning of the end of the Butt’lympics as Scully drops his napkin.
Hitchcock reaches for it but ends up coming out of his chair. His time is over. Rosa and Scully
then make the decision to come up together and they too leave their own seats.
Rosa is proud of them but Scully starts tipping as he has lost all of his feeling in his legs.

(Jeremy), Nicole Pettis (Teri), Ryan Radis (Chip), Paige Smith (Jesse
Gurmwald), Maria Thayer (Jean Munhroe), Franco Vega (Officer Brian)
Summary: The always unwelcome Vulture pops back into Jake and Amy’s lives,
threatening to swoop in and take something important away from
them. Meanwhile, Boyle and Rosa must track down ”Sergeant Peanut
Butter,” the kidnapped NYPD horse that Charles envies, and Holt chal-
lenges Terry to be less image-conscious.
Due to some poor couples’ horrible

tragedy, Jake and Amy managed to score
a last-minute cancellation at an exclu-
sive wedding venue which normally has
a waiting list of several years.
The two start planning everything
out and visit several wedding vendors
to make sure that their ’Nups will be
Toit’. This includes a bouquet of flow-
ers wrapped using crossword puzzles, a
drink created and named after them and
a cake designed to look like the Nakatomi
Plaza tower from Diehard, including a
replica of Hans Gruber falling from the
building.
Unfortunately, disaster hits the happy couple and that magical venue they managed to secure
has pulled the rug from under their feet. Someone else has swooped in and booked it.
Jake and Amy are not happy with the news but are even more livid when they realise who has
swooped in and stole it from them. The Vulture, the famed arrogant detective who swoops in and
steals cases from others to steal all of the credit is back.
The Vulture is getting married and wants to make his fiancée the happiest girl alive which is
why he swooped in and stole the venue for our happy Nine-Nine couple. They are not buying this
in any way. Anyone willing to marry The Vulture must be the spawn of Satan.
They plan to confront her and get their venue back. They track her down only to learn that
she is actually a saint. She runs a charity center providing much-needed food and aid to third
world countries ravaged by war.
So it’s back to the drawing board on the wedding planning. Amy manages to find another
venue on the same day but it’s not the same year. Jake manages to secure his deposit back from
the photographer but only if Amy hangs out with him. It’s not going well.
209
They realize they have no choice. They need to get that venue back. They do some digging on
The Vulture, they still don’t believe he has turned good and that something is going on. That’s
when they discover his fiancée is super rich and he must be after her money. They then realize,
with the aid of Hitchcock, that he is cheating on her with the use of a dating app.
And just like that Jake and Amy put on their savior hats. They must save this poor girl from
The Vulture and break them up. And just by chance get the venue for the wedding back...
They set up fake profiles on the dating site and contact him. Floods of penis pictures then fill
their inbox. He has taken the bait, they set up a date and confront him.
An ultimatum is then given: Tell her the truth and break it off or we give her all the informa-
tion. The Vulture refuses, he pleads with the both, tries in vain to convince them that he does
truly love her but he is just weak.
He offers the venue. He will give them it if they keep quiet and act cool. They agree to it just
as the fiancée sits down to join them. Both Jake and Amy remain cool for a whole ten seconds
before her niceness breaks Amy.
She can’t lie to this wonderful lady. She shows her the penis photos, which were very confus-
ing as Amy probably should have told her what she was doing first before showing them.
The Vulture gets exactly what he deserves. Jake and Amy sadly don’t get the venue back but
the pair is ok with it as they happily carry each other in a dumpster.
Sgt Peanut Butter has gone missing. The famous NYPD horse (and Charles’ arch nemesis) is
suspected of being abducted by a former NYPD cop who was recently let go.
Boyle is tasked with finding him, which he is not pleased about. The two have a history after
Peanut Butter stole all the glory from Charles as they were each award the Medal of Valor. The
ever-professional Boyle sets out to locate him with the aid of Rosa.
It doesn’t take them very long to find Peanut Butter along with the disgruntled ex-cop in an
abandoned warehouse. In his attempt to escape he sets the place on fire. Rosa chases after the
suspect while Boyle tries to save Peanut Butter.
Unfortunately, Peanut Butter refuses to move and once he does get her going he ends up
being dragged out of the warehouse himself. Once again humiliation for Boyle.
It gets worse though as someone caught it on film and leaked it to the press. News stories are
running everywhere that a police horse saved a Buffon. Charles tries to set the record straight
that he saved the horse but it is good PR for the force so they won’t change it.
It is just one big nightmare for Boyle. Thankfully one press site did manage to get the real
news story out there though. Someone, *cough cough Diaz*, leaked the true story at least one
news outlet got it right.
Terry loves to be loved. He loves talking about himself and does it repeatedly in third person.
Unfortunately, that lands him with a bit of bother this week. While talking about himself
another officer thinks he is talking about her. It’s understandable really. She is also called Terry
and our Terry likes talking in the third person, so sounds it would sound like he was talking
about her.
Terry manages to smooth it all over but it leaves him in an uncomfortable place. She doesn’t
like him. Terry likes being liked. He goes out of his way to please others, something Captain Holt
picks up on.
He tries to convince Terry to not let it bother him and to stop being so image conscious. Terry
tries and he succeeds, for a whole two seconds.
Terry then desperately tries to win the affection of this officer. He plans a mini party. Unsure
of what ice cream she would like he orders over 100 different flavors, gets yogurt in case she
doesn’t like ice cream and other foods including tacos and vegan options.
It’s getting out of hand and Holt convinces Terry of the hard truth; that not everyone will
love you and like you and that is okay; that he wasn’t popular in his youth and is now a police
captain; that the popular kid in school is only a sociologist. A sociologist!
Once again Captain Holt is the true teacher and master of wisdom in the Nine-Nine.

Summary: Jake and Amy attempt to get their parents to bond over Thanksgiving
dinner, but their first holiday together as a family does not go well.
Meanwhile, at the precinct, Holt and Kevin’s special Thanksgiving pie
is stolen from his office and Holt searches through the ranks for the
possible culprit.
Jake and Amy attempt the impossible by

having their parents come together for
a traditional family Thanksgiving dinner.
It’s no easy tasks for the two as their par-
ents are nothing alike and both are super
competitive. It all gets off on the wrong
track from the very start when Amy par-
ents arrive while Jakes dad had no pants
on.
It just gets worse from there on as they
both struggle to find a topic of conversa-
tion that they can have with both their
parents leading Jake to talk about. Amy
and Jake begin to panic. They haven’t
even made it to dinner yet and it’s a ter-
rible start. Amy wishes they had a potion of some kind that would make this much easier. The
drinks flow and the conversations smooth over and next thing, Jake dad is playing the piano and
Amy dad is singing/humming along.
It’s looking like they have cracked it. The big question is, can they keep it going? Just as
Jake and Amy are wondering this they learn that there is a downside to drinking. Their parents’
competitive sides have come out and they start trying to outdo each other.
Amy’s dad gives Jakes a family heirloom; it’s a watch, declaring him an official Santiago only
for Jakes dad to offer to pay for the entire wedding. Jake and Amy quickly put a stop to it and
get their parents to dinner. However, they have two turkeys as Amy’s parent brought the own,
because that’s a normal thing to do, leading to a carving competition and an interesting discus-
sion about their parent’s sex life. Things end up going too far as Jakes dad, in his desperation to
win, cuts his thumb off.
Jake gets his dad to the hospital along with his thumb in a tub of ice-cream. After it is
reattached they all come together and talk about everything that happened. A heart to heart type
211
moment happens and all the events that had happened earlier in the day are put aside. Jake and
Amy’s dad embrace in a weird dad hug which gets weirder with Jakes dad private bits falling out
his hospital gown.
While Jake and Amy were doing all that back at the precinct a whole different chain of events
was happening.Captain Holt had brought to the station house a Thanksgiving pie which he
intended on taking with to his partner Kevin to a Thanksgiving party. But, it goes missing. Holt
marks everyone as a suspect but in particular, Hitchcock and Scully.
That is, after completing a thorough forensic examination of his office realises that whoever
committed this crime was no fool and indeed a master criminal. Hitchcock and Scully are cleared
as suspects.
Holt turns his attention to Rosa, Boyle and Terry and begins tense interrogations on each of
them to discover which of them stole the pie. Holt doesn’t get very far.
After failing to break them Holt takes desperate steps and recruits the best detectives for a
job like this. Hitchcock and Scully, this case was made for them, they both know food and have
skills like no other, they are the best possible detectives for the job.While Hitchcock and Scully
begin their own investigation Holt runs through each of his suspects alibis.
Holt pulls them all into the briefing room and calls them out. None of their alibis checks out.
All three of them, Rosa, Boyle and Terry break down and begin confessing their secrets, but none
of their confessions is about the pie. Holt is no further forward in finding out the truth.
Hitchcock and Scully interrupt to bring news to Holt. They found the pie. Uneaten and aban-
doned in the trash. The discovery of the pies whereabouts leads Holt in putting this case together.
He pulls all of his suspects in just as Kevin is arriving to learn the news that the pie was taken
and thrown out.
He looks stunned at the news, that is until Holt accuses him of being the culprit. He knows
that it was Kevin as he placed the pie in the trash delicately with two hands. Exactly how he
disposes of trash normally. Kevin comes clean and confesses that he had to. It’s a horrible pie.
That they would both be embarrassed if they had brought it to the Thanksgiving dinner party
and he didn’t want that to happen to Holt, he was protecting him.
Thanks to the brave efforts of Hitchcock and Scully the case of the missing pie is solved and
everyone moves on and Holt and Kevin agree to try and put this behind them.

Summary: When DC Parlov returns to the precinct to report his latest manuscript
being stolen, Terry, Jake and Rosa go undercover at a fantasy conven-
tion to catch the culprit.
The episode had Jake and Terry skip-

ping arm in arm together as they inves-
tigated the stolen manuscript from one of
their all-time favorite authors. Rosa be-
came hooked on a bounty hunter that
looks just like her. Captain Holt and Amy
try to get board certified in forensics but
mummifying Charles causes that to be a
problem.
Terry learns that the author of his fa-
vorite books series, DC Parlov is in town
for a convention and has a case for him.
Jake is immediately on board as he got
hooked on the books while in prison. Rosa mocks the two of them for enjoy the books so much
and gets called out and is asked to join them in the investigation.
Holt and Amy have planned to host a forensic course in the precinct with the aim of getting
the nine-nine certified so that they can get their own field lab. The only problem is Boyle wants
in on the action and he is a bit of a liability.
DC Parlov manuscript for his latest book is missing. He believes that his rival author, who
both have a bet over the success over their next book, has done it in an attempt to sabotage him.
Jake, Terry and Rosa go to visit his rival but before that happens Jake drops Terry into it by
mentioning to DC Parlov that he has written his own book.
Terry, looking both embarrassed and angry at Jake for telling his hero, tries to squirm out of
it but instead, DC Parlov says that he would be more than happy to read it. Terry gets a bit giddy
and excited at the idea of his book being read him.
The case must come first, however, and they check out their latest lead only to find it’s a dead-
end straight away. His rivals own manuscript for his book has also been stolen. It’s looking like
someone who has a bone to pick with both of these authors which leads them to Miles Morgill,
another author.
213
Both of the victims slept with his wife Jessica so the motive is pretty obvious except Miles is
not aware of his wife infidelity. That is until Jake and Terry mention it leading to a very awkward
moment between the couple and their son who happens to look nothing like daddy.
Fresh out of leads Jake, Terry and Rosa advise them to pay the ransom. That way they can
go undercover and catch the person in the act. Queue a shirtless Terry, an elfish like Jake and
Rosa, looking exactly as she normally does but with the addition of welding goggles. The perfect
disguises in a fan convention.
As they wait Terry can’t help but take his frustration out on Jake after learning that he found
his book terrible and now, because of him, his hero DC Parlov will see how terrible of a writer
Terry is and Terry will be embarrassed.
Rosa stops them from arguing and just in time. The mark approaches, dressed exactly like
Jake is. The perp snatches the case and makes a break for it. Jake pursues him but can’t make
him out anymore. A costume competition has just ended and everyone is dressed in the same
elvish costume. Now they know why he chose this particular time.
With the money gone and the criminal still wandering free, it’s not looking good. DC Parlov
isn’t too concerned though. Paying the ransom has stopped his book being released and his
insurance will cover the loss. Terry looks defeated and leans in to talk but Parlov gets the first
word in. I liked your book.
Terry’s grin couldn’t be any bigger and he cant help but rub it into Jake’s’ face. Jake admits
that he was wrong and apologizes to Terry. As Terry leaves Jake turns to Rosa. Yeah, Parlov is
lying.
Back at the percent Rosa and Jake talk it out. Rosa is not sure that Jake is right on this
one. That is until she reads the first line of Terry’s book. Parlov is definitely lying and is up to
something, but how do they tell Terry?
Just as they are wondering what to do Terry comes in and lays it out for them. He figured it
out. He had a gut feeling and investigated it further. Parlov was lying to him, both he and his
rival planned it out as a publicity stunt to get more excitement for their story and that they were
just buttering Terry up by sending him gifts and telling him his book was good.
Feeling bad, Jake has a heart to heart with Terry over how he will get better at writing. That
he may never be a famous author but he will get better. Like his police work. Terry clicks that
Jake is right. He was not a good Police officer at first but got better with more practice.
The two, friendship repaired, skip off together arm in arm to read the next book that is
conveniently on the laptops that they had just confiscated earlier.
While Jake, Terry and Rosa were hunting for a manuscript, Holt, Amy and Boyle were hosting
a forensic course in the hope to get certified. Boyle being Boyle is a liability. He can often share
and talk too much and puts others off.
Holt and Amy try and keep him as quiet as possible but it is not an easy task.That is until
plaster moulds of the face are required during the course. They use Boyle as the subject and
plaster his entire head making him unable to talk. Unfortunately, due to their haste, they forget
to Vaseline his head so now the plaster is stuck, for five days.
It’s an instant fail and board certification is a no longer a possibility. That is of course if they
get caught.They hide Boyle in the evidence locker with Hitchcock and Scully as babysitters and
conduct the rest of the course without him.
Unfortunately, Hitchcock and Scully had to go really bad and at the same time and while they
went Boyle escaped. Walking around the precinct plastered and unable to see it’s a sorry mess
that if the forensic doctor finds out they are defiantly not getting that field lab.
Trying desperately to hide Boyle he tells them that he is trying to help in his own way. That
he realises how much the certification means to them both. Overcome by this selfless act Holt
realises that the lab is not the most important thing in the world.
He brings Boyle back to the course. Board certification is a big no no but Holt and Amy don’t
care. They are very happy to listen to Boyle ramble on in his plaster cast head. After all, he is
one of the nine-nine.

Season 5
Episode Number: 99
Season Episode: 9

Writer: Andy Bobrow
Guest Stars: Alexander Harris (Arlo), Galen Howard (Tommy Boyle), Frederick
Koehler (Becca Boyle), Rocky McMurray (Deputy Commissioner Ag-
gerton), Joe Roche (Steve Boyle)
Summary: Holt learns he’s in the running to become Chief Commissioner of the
NYPD when the squad is in LA for a funeral, but when they miss their
flight back to New York, Jake tries to get Holt back in time for the
interview.
The episode found the entire squad (mi-

nus Gina, who was still on maternity
leave) taking a cross-country road trip
home from Los Angeles and the funeral of
former CO McGinley. While at the memo-
rial service, Holt discovered that he was
in the running to become the next police
commissioner of the NYPD, yet he refused
to get his hopes up — unlike Jake.
What Peralta and the rest of the Nine-
Nine didn’t know (yet) was that Holt had
previously cut a deal with Shamus Mur-
phy to get Jake and Rosa out of prison.
As Holt would later reveal, he feared what the gangster would ask of him, should he become
commissioner, so he attempted to sabotage his own promotion. And man, was he great at it!
Every step of the captain’s plan to delay the squad’s return to New York in time for his interview
was a stroke of genius.
First, on the way to LAX, Holt drove past Nakatomi Plaza from Die Hard, knowing full well
that Jake would force him to pull over and head in to take pictures. Once inside, Holt locked
them in a room, guaranteeing that they wouldn’t get to the airport on time. Next, he lied about
there being no available rental cars to make the 48-hour drive back to NYC once all the other
flights had been cancelled. What he couldn’t have predicted, however, was that Jake would then
find a rundown RV aka The American Creeper. Holt tried to slow down the vehicle by sticking
Jake’s cheese puffs in the fuel tank but inadvertently blew it up.
The squad then took refuge at the cattle ranch belonging to Charles’ cousins Steve, Tommy
and Becca aka the Cow Insemination Kings of Central Texas. Unable to sleep through the sounds
of bovine copulation, Jake and Holt shared the first of two incredibly sweet moments. In this one,
Jake told Holt that the reason he wanted to get him back in time for his interview was because
he had made him a better man and wanted to return the favor. The next day, Holt’s last-ditch
effort to derail the group’s journey ended with him finally telling everyone the truth about the
215
deal he agreed to in order to protect Jake and Rosa. In response, Jake accidentally blurted out,
”I love you, Dad.” (Aww... )
Ultimately, Peralta convinced Holt to go through with the interview, promising on behalf of
the entire precinct that they’d find a way to deal with Murphy if he ever became an issue. It was
then up to ”super chill” Amy to find them a way back home. To motivate his fiancée, Jake had
her think back to the ”time we went to the deli for cold cuts and the ticket machine was broken,
so you found out what time everyone arrived and made them get in a single-file line from earliest
to latest” — and by golly, it worked! Figuring out a route involving an ambulance, an airplane,
a train and a taxicab, the high-strung detective got Holt to One Police Plaza just in the nick of
time.
The other major development in the episode involved Rosa, who after trying and failing to hide
her new relationship with a woman from Charles, came out as bisexual. At first hesitant to talk
about it at all, Diaz later acknowledged that she was glad she was able to confide in Boyle, adding
that it felt great to tell a member of her work family.

Season Episode: 10

Writer: Justin Noble, Carly Hallam Tosh
Guest Stars: Brian Dare (Brennan), Olga Merediz (Julia Diaz), Danny Trejo (Oscar
Diaz)
Summary: Rosa begs Jake to help her break some big news to her parents, but
her plan is thrown off when they wrongly assume the two are dating.
The episode starts start with Rosa, who

not only came out as bisexual to the rest
of the squad, but also to her parents,
who were not nearly as understanding.
She tricked Jake into attending dinner
with Mom and Dad, who assumed that
her big announcement was that she was
dating Jake, despite the fact that he’s en-
gaged to Amy. She eventually came for-
ward and told them she’s been dating a
woman after they implied that they rather
their daughter be Jake’s side piece than
come out as gay.
Later, at a family game night, Mr. Diaz made matters worse when he suggested that his
daughter’s bisexuality was just a phase. The next day, he turned up at the precinct to apologize
and told Rosa that he’d support her no matter who she loved, but that her mother would need
some more time. As a pick-me-up, Jake rallied his fellow officers (and Gina, who’s back from
maternity leave!) and headed over to Rosa’s to start a new game-night tradition. There, Holt took
Diaz aside and told her she should be proud of herself. The openly gay captain then thanked her
for her bravery, saying, ”Every time someone steps up and says who they are, the world becomes
a better, more interesting place.” Afterwards, he went in for a hug, and this recapper’s apartment
suddenly got real dusty.

The Favor
Season 5
Episode Number: 101
Season Episode: 11

Writer: Aeysha Carr
Guest Stars: Paul Adelstein (Seamus Murphy), Mike Mitchell (Kyle Murphy)
Summary: Seamus Murphy returns to redeem the favor Holt owes him, and the
precinct searches for a loophole that will allow Holt to uphold his end
of the bargain without breaking the law.
Seamus Murphy returned to ask Holt for

that dreaded favor, and it was... to ac-
quire a city permit for a neighborhood
block party? Of course, this wasn’t quite
as innocent a request as it seemed. The
party was meant to serve as a distrac-
tion so Murphy and his henchmen could
ambush an armored truck and steal $20
million in bonds.
Holt had no choice but to honor
Murphy’s request. As you’ll recall, he
promised the criminal a favor in ex-
change for supplying him with the dirt on
Hawkins needed to get Jake and Rosa out of prison. To make sure Holt’s hands weren’t dirtied
in the process, Jake and Charles used Murphy’s dimwitted nephew Kyle to plant a bug on the
crook. In doing so, the detectives were able to find out when the heist was going down so the
truck could be intercepted and emptied before Murphy and his men got to it.
Afterwards, Holt and Jake had Kyle put in protective custody, fearing Murphy would go after
his own flesh and blood for interfering with the heist. It didn’t take long before Murphy connected
the dots back to Holt, approaching the captain a few days later and making his blood run cold:
”You mess with my family, I mess with yours,” Murphy warned. ”You tell your husband Kevin I’ll
see him real soon.”

Safe House
Season 5
Episode Number: 102
Season Episode: 12

Writer: Andy Gosche
Guest Stars: Paul Adelstein (Seamus Murphy), Marc Evan Jackson (Kevin Cozner),
Sean Jenkins (Dallas)
Summary: After Seamus threatens Kevin, Holt devises an elaborate plan to hide
him in a safe house, with Jake as his guard. Kevin is miserable as the
99 works overtime to find Seamus and take him down.
The episode picks up later the day dur-

ing which Seamus Murphy threatened
the wellbeing of Captain Holt’s husband,
and finds the entire squad enlisted to dis-
creetly escort Kevin to a transport van.
Holt is waiting inside to bring his signif-
icant other to a safe house, where he’ll
remain until the Organized Crime divi-
sion moves in on Murphy. Jake volun-
teers to guard Kevin for the weeks-long
stay, unaware that he’ll be cut off from
communicating with Amy, Charles and
the rest of the outside world. Holt takes
all of his electronic devices, leaving him
only with an assortment of mostly awful
Nicolas Cage movies.
On week nine Holt arrives with good news: Organized Crime is about to raid Murphy’s com-
pound. The Nine-Nine gathers at the safe house to watch it via satellite, but the whole thing
turns out to be a bust. Murphy isn’t there, and remains at large. The squad is then forced to
take the search into their own hands: Charles and Gina assist Rosa, who goes undercover as a
customer at the nail salon where Murphy’s mistress cuts hair. Back at headquarters, Amy has
subpoenaed the shredding company that provides services to Murphy’s businesses, and has re-
trieved what looks to be hundreds of thousands of shredded pieces of paper. Scully, who turns
out to be something of a beautiful mind, is able to assist Amy and Terry and eventually piece
together an important address.
Kevin begins to go stir crazy, and convinces Jake to take him to a library to do research for his
next book. They disguise themselves as perverts, but it’s no use. Not only has Holt been tracking
their every move, but Murphy’s henchman is on their tail. When he’s discovered to be on the
back of their bus, Jake and Kevin make a run for it at the following stop, and Holt is captured
and brought to Murphy. Afterwards, Jake rings Charles, Gina and a newly blonde Rosa, who
have just learned through the ditsy beautician that the criminal is hiding out in Rhinebeck. He
then puts in a call to Amy, who has that address, thanks to Scully.
221
Once they get there, Jake refuses to let Kevin go inside and advises him to go back to the
safe house. The detective is then almost immediately spotted by Murphy’s right-hand man and
brought in to join a tied-up Holt. Before the mobster gets a chance to kill either of them, though,
Kevin comes crashing with his car, hitting the hired hand in the process. He then gets out and
proceeds to give Murphy a laryngeal fracture.
We then cut to our final scene, where Jake is returning to the precinct for the first time in nine
weeks. Holt is delighted to inform him that Murphy’s in prison, and his entire organization have
been toppled by the FBI. Jake and Kevin then exchange pleasantries, and just when it seems
like they’ve become friends, the detective goes and ruins it by revealing he failed to screen two
of Nic Cage’s better films back at the safe house: Period piece Captain Corelli’s Mandolin and the
Oscar-winning Leaving Las Vegas.

The Negotiation
Season 5
Episode Number: 103
Season Episode: 13

Guest Stars: Nick Armstrong (Bob), Chris Bauer (Negotiator), Anastasia Dextrene
(Bystander), Craig Robinson (Doug Judy)
Summary: Jake is called upon to negotiate a hostage situation with a jewel thief,
only to discover that the culprit seems to be a familiar face. Amy and
Gina help Charles with the high demands of his new food truck, and
Holt panics when a member of the Police Commissioner selection com-
mittee decides to interview Hitchcock about Holt.
The episode sees the return of Doug as

he robs a jewelry store that turns hostage
situation. Doug requests that Jake be the
negotiator, making a dream come true for
Jake. Jake gets played like a fool and be-
fore you know it Doug has hoodwinked
Jake and manages to escape arrest.
Jake helped Doug avoid being arrested
at the jewelry store by having Scully
smuggle in police uniforms via takeout
food. Scully then feigned a heart attack
giving them the perfect opportunity to es-
cape.
Jake played along with all of this because Doug has only robbed the jewelry store because
a big-time mobster has threatened to hurt his mom. Jake, who views Doug’s mom as a saint,
agrees to help Doug by organizing a sting and arresting the mobster. While the two wait for the
mobster to arrive both Jake and Doug pass the time on the karaoke machine together.
The sting goes down and the arrest is made but during the commotion, The Pontiac Bandit
once again gives Jake the slip, along with the big bag of diamonds he stole earlier. Jake is furious
that he has once again been tricked and is looking at a suspension for allowing this to happen.
On a parallel plot, it’s the official opening of Boyle’s food truck. Serving his grandma’s iconic
meatball sub sandwich, Boyle turns into an evil chef. Amy and Gina offer to help but soon learn
that Boyle is not someone to work with.
Imagine Hell’s Kitchen but in a food truck.
Amy and Gina soon quit and leave Boyle by himself. Realising he was becoming his mean
grandma himself Boyle soon comes to his senses and apologizes to them both.
Finally, Captain’s Holt possible promotion is moving forward. An officer is coming to conduct
some interviews at the precinct to get an idea of what Holt is like. Terry is suggested for being in-
terviewed by Holt but the officer doesn’t want a Sgt. She wants a detective. She picks Hitchcock...
..
223
Even Hitchcock thinks this is a terrible idea and can’t believe that Holt and Terry allowed this
to happen. It’s too late, however, so they give Hitchcock a complete makeover and a crash course
in interview training. Basically, a big list of what he can’t and can say.
It all goes surprisingly well and Hitchcock doesn’t put a foot wrong. Holt and Terry are more
than surprised and make the suggestion that maybe Hitchcock should be like this more often.
Hitchcock doesn’t think that will be a good idea, too much work and goes back to being normal,
gross Hitchcock.
As Jake waits to see what his punishment will be, a coupon for a karaoke session arrives.
There is only one person who could have sent that to him, Doug Judy.
Doug is waiting for him in the karaoke booth, a prerecorded version anyway, telling him that
he is sorry how things went down. Jake is still annoyed at everything until recorded Doug points
out the wedding present he has left for Jake and inside: the diamonds.

The Box
Season 5
Episode Number: 104
Season Episode: 14

Guest Stars: Sterling K. Brown (Philip Davidson), Romy Rosemont (Claire Damont)
Summary: Jake and Holt spend all night trying to get a confession out of a sus-
pect.
The episode is about Jake questions

a suspect. Meanwhile, Phillip Davidson
comes in the precinct and approaches
Administrator Regina Linetti who’s on her
phone. He then asks her where to go if
the office summoned him for interroga-
tion. Linetti goes into a savage mode and
reveals that the detectives look at David-
son as someone who’s guilty.
Before interrogation even began, Cap-
tain Jacob Holt ruled out that Davidson is
a murderer. But Peralta says that there is
no evidence for it. The body decayed be-
fore hikers found it in the woods. A report even states that police found bear semen on the
corpse’s head.
Before they go in the interrogation chamber, Peralta and Holt argued about if Holt should
come in with Peralta inside. Holt says that before he was captain, one of the best parts of being
a detective is to do the interrogation. Holt then demonstrates how he does it in front of Peralta.
Peralta, being Peralta, is amazed.
In the interrogation chamber, Peralta begins questioning Davidson by confirming that David-
son is with Robert Tupper before his death. Davidson rejects the question and says that he was
not with him. Meanwhile, Captain Holt followed up and asked what Davidson did on Friday when
the murder happened. Davidson, quick like a cat, said that he was doing surgery on a patient’s
gums.
Peralta then asked Davidson who he was with during that time. Davidson answered that he
was only with Robert since his two assistants went home early. Davidson adds that Robert talked
to him about his plans on firing an assistant named Sheryl.
Losing the battle, Peralta plummets the fact that someone might have wiped Robert’s phone
clean. He threatens Davidson by saying that Robert’s phone has a backup on the victim’s laptop.
Davidson defends himself and says that he and Robert were going to fire Sheryl because she was
stealing from the clinic.
Peralta bursts and summons Holt outside the room. They argued about how Holt tried to
undermine Peralta and his questioning. But Holt says he only did that to make Peralta look like
a trustworthy detective for Davidson. If that happens, Davidson will let his guard down, and
Peralta gets the answer he needs. It is a win-win situation for both parties.
225
Captain Holt proceeds to ask Davidson. He questioned why the cleaners cleaned the medical
room in a way that an industrial facility would. Holt claims that because of that, traces of blood
and DNA were wiped out in the process.
As a medical practitioner, Davidson defends himself by saying that the clinic should always
stay sterile since it is a medical room. Peralta follows up the question with another question. But
of course, who would admit to a crime they committed?
Captain Holt leaves the interrogation to Peralta. He and Kevin are off to see the show. Peralta
intimidates Davidson by saying that he is the real criminal. Peralta still questions Davidson’s
phone that wasn’t with him during the night the crime happened.
With the case losing on the hands of Peralta, he tried connecting small facts about Davidson
and used it against him. Davidson’s grandfather owns a cabin in the town where hikers found
the dead body of Tupper. Peralta tries to prove his theories and contact Davidson’s grandfather.
But to his surprise, Davidson’s grandfather hasn’t spoken to his grandson in years.
With this discovery, Peralta and Captain Holt start to panic. If they don’t find a new way to
crack Davidson open, they will lose the case. They begin to get ”intimate” with Davidson. But
instead of getting the information they needed, Davidson only played with both of them.
They resort to insinuating guilt on him by asking Davidson to say the name of his ”victim” in
front of its dead body, Peralta and Captain Holt tried to see if he was guilty of what he did. But
it didn’t work. It seems like Davidson is too nonchalant to feel guilty if ever he was the killer.
Feeling disappointed, Captain Holt and Peralta decide to ditch their plans and cheat their
way in. Peralta walks into the chamber and lies to Davidson’s face about his grandfather’s cabin.
He tells him that someone saw Davidson go in it. Claiming that it’s his grandfather’s neighbor,
Peralta fails on the attempt. It was a good try, but the ”neighbor” he’s mentioning has been dead
for three years.
Davidson then calls for his lawyer Claire Daymont. Of course, his lawyer was disappointed
since the two officers spent the entire night trying to frame up her client. Claire decides that it’s
time to leave. She also threatens that the judge will hear about the alleged frame-up that Peralta
and Holt started.
Before they release Davidson, Holt and Peralta argued one last time. The only reason why
Peralta wanted to win the case was to impress Holt. But to a turn of events, his mind thinks of
something that would save the situation.
Peralta grabs a folder and busts through the chamber doors. He starts what he calls a mono-
logue. By mentioning how Davidson was a ”lucky bitch,” he catches his mouth. Peralta said how
Davidson’s murder weapon is one of the Periodontics awards in the clinic. He then connects
how everything happened and pinpointed Davidson as the real killer. But Davidson snapped and
spilled his truth. Peralta solved the case by bringing out Davidson’s temper and insatiable desire
to calm down.

The Puzzle Master

Season 5
Episode Number: 105
Season Episode: 15

Writer: Lang Fisher
Director: Akiva Schaffer
Guest Stars: Sean Ayub (Bar Patron), Alan Brooks (John Kelly I), Kate Butler (Deb-
bie Stovelman), David Fumero (Vin Stermley), Quintyne Lawrence (Bar
Patron), Amir Levi (Cy), Dan Lippert (Timothy), Josiah Lyricq (Patron),
Meghann Murphy (Helen), Joshua Elijah Reese (Peter), Kinner Shah
(Ed), Will Shortz (Sam Jepson), Stewart Skelton (Patrick Faricy), Win-
ston Story (Bill), Allison Tolman (Capt. Olivia Crawford)
Summary: Jake surprises Amy with an investigation into a string of arsons con-
nected to her favorite crossword puzzle author, Vin Stermley. Mean-
while, Gina helps Holt jazz up his Commissioner candidate speech,
and Terry, Rosa, Hitchcock and Scully argue over who is most deserv-
ing of the new detective car.
If Santiago and Peralta want to solve the

puzzle before the next building burns
down, they need to work fast. The good
thing is that Santiago idolizes a puz-
zle maker who makes crossword puzzles
for newspapers. Peralta thinks that it’s
okay for Santiago to have a crush on
a puzzle maker. He believes that puz-
zle makers look like nerds, but he was
wrong. Stermly is one good-looking puz-
zle maker—not to underwear modeling
gig for extra cash.
The ”puzzle arsonist” is a big fan of
Stermly. In fact, it left puzzle questions
and addressed them to Stermly. While
Santiago and Stermly discuss the note the puzzle arsonist left, Peralta notices that Stermly
might be a better guy than he is. Jealousy grows and leaves him steering clear Stermly and
Santiago. Peralta tries to lead the case and introduces a new motive to them, believing another
puzzle maker wants to embarrass him by letting him answer an unsolvable puzzle. They head to
an event hosted by Stermly to look for facts.
Meanwhile, it’s Captain Ray Holt’s time to get that promotion. An opening to become a com-
missioner is up for grabs. Since he’s qualified for the position, he signs up for it with the help of
her assistant Gina Linetti. Holt and Linetti studied a list of potential captains that might get the
position other than him. When they attended the forum for the new commissioner, they found
out that one of the captains they feel threatened the most retired. In replacement, a female cap-
tain named Captain Olivia Crawford took over the position of captain as a replacement to the
retiree.
227
Being the ”dinosaur” that he is when managing a station, Holt freaks out and proves he can
implement new ways. But Captain Crawford is a younger woman with fresher ideas. Instead of
backing out, Captain Crawford fought Holt with words. It’s safe to say that Captain Crawford
won the small talk since she got to flip her hair away from Holt and Linetti.
Peralta gets more jealous of Stermly as the case draws nearer to a close. His ideas on solving
the case are not working, so Santiago resorts to Stermly for plans. As a puzzle maker, Stermly
is becoming more and more analytical to match all the clues left by the arsonist. Peralta’s plan
to go undercover and go to Stermly’s event didn’t work. He overheard two people in the toilet
talking about someone named ”Sam” who might be the arsonist. When he updated Stermly
and Santiago, they both disagreed with his findings. Instead, they left the event and continued
working on clues.
Back at the station, Santiago tells Peralta about Stermly’s plan. Peralta, being a jealous man,
follows Santiago’s assignments to him just to show that he’s not jealous at all. Then comes
Charles Boyle, who continually reminds Peralta of his jealousy. He declines the allegations and
asks Boyle to stalk Sam Jepson. To his juvenile behavior, the arsonist burned another building
to the ground in the are he patrols on.
After the heated talk with Captain Crawford, Captain Holt eats a plate of grapes in the corner
of the room. Linetti gives Holt a pep talk and says that he shouldn’t give up because Cap-
tain Crawford threatens him. After that, Linetti sees the Head of the Committee, Patrick Faricy
munching on a plate of crab cakes.
Holt approaches Faricy and asks if he can do small talk. But Faricy was quick and addressed
the issues on Crawford. He told Holt that the committee chose Crawford as captain for PR pur-
poses. As Faricy left with his crab cakes, Holt takes a breath in for relief. In his presentation,
Holt drops Faricy in what he said. He exposed the committee for hiring a female captain for a PR
stunt.
Since Peralta failed his mission, Santiago burst and confronts him. The argument turned into
a discussion on why Peralta acts the way that he is. Santiago found out that Peralta was jealous
of Stermly. Peralta says that he’s afraid that Santiago wouldn’t want to marry him because he’s
not as smart as Stermly. But Santiago assures him otherwise. Then Peralta’s mind tells him that
the word the arsonist is spelling through burned buildings is the word ”marry.”
Meanwhile, Captain Crawford dropped by Captain Holt’s office. She thanked him for exposing
the commissioner. Crawford also psyched Holt out by saying she’s more likely to win now since
the committee is not biased anymore.
On the other hand, Santiago and Peralta solved the case. They turned in Helen Gorbelson,
an avid fan of Stermly. She pleaded guilty to the arson in the city. All she wanted to do was to
propose to Stermly through a word formation of the burned buildings’ structure.

Episode Number: 106
Season Episode: 16

Guest Stars: Brian Patrick Butler (NutriBoom Customer), Kate Butler (Deb-
bie Stovelman), Jay Chandrasekhar (Jay Chandrasekhar), Christine
Garver (Angela), Joe Hartzler (Todd), Joshua Elijah Reese (Peter), Romy
Rosemont (Elaine Nixon), Winston Story (Bill), Drew Tarver (Gary Jen-
nings), Neal Huff (Nutriboom Employee)
Summary: Jake and Charles get suckered into a pyramid scheme.
When Jake fell into signing a contract

with the company ”NutriBoom,” there’s
no backing down. All it took was a few
strokes of a pen on a piece of paper, and
his ten grand investment is gone for good
(not to mention the quarterly fees paid
for the subscription). Jake and his Detec-
tive Charles Boyle head to the NutriBoom
Headquarters to cancel their contract.
Upon arrival, Angela, the reception-
ist of the building greeted them. She ex-
plains that all Jake needed is to sign the
papers. But when Jake is about to sign,
Angela adds that he needs to pay fine for
the cancellation of the contract, shipping
fees, stocking fees, and other fees that Jakes doesn’t want to pay for.
Jake (being Jake) devises a plan that could save him and his wallet. He and Charles will go
undercover. Although tricky, it is a sure way to get him his money back. Not only that, if he
exposes the company that it is a pyramiding scam, he gets to shut them down. To get the files
that they needed, they have to be inside the headquarters. In an attempt to recover files, Jake
and Charles became undercover agents.
In a party for the NutriBoom subscribers, Jake pretended to be a NutriBoom user, while
Charles as a NutriBoom clerk. When an audio-visual presentation got the guests’ attention, Jake
and Charles sneaked into NutriBoom’s office. In there, they acquired the files of the sales and
other records of the company. With it, Jake discovers the cover up NutriBoom did a year ago.
Meanwhile., after the long-awaited promotion, Amy begins as the new sergeant of the depart-
ment. On her first day, she gathers her squad for a meeting. But Amy’s anxious about it. To
know more about how to run a meeting, she asks Terry for help. Terry suggests that she pours a
glass of water between her sentences, so she doesn’t get anxious about the whole set up.
In the meeting, she brings a pitcher and a glass. After greeting everyone, she poured her first
glass. But when she paused, one of her policemen tried to suggest something. Gary Jennings is
229
one talkative policeman. Although he’s new in the team, he acts like he’s someone confident to
talk to anyone. He gives suggestions when Amy pours a glass of water.
Due to Amy’s anxiety, she continued to pour water into her glass. Soon enough, the glass
overflowed. In an attempt to save the meeting, Amy tells everyone that the first task of the squad
is to dry the floors.
Amy comes to where her friends are. Rosa Diaz and Gina Linetti tells Amy what to do. Since
she is dealing with ”herself,” Rosa and Gina suggest doing things that they would do to avoid her.
They hide as fast as they could, and then they try to avoid Amy before she could ask how Rosa
and Gina disappeared without notice.
Amy tried to do what Rosa and Gina suggested. When Gary approached him, she would veer
away from him. Amy would always try to escape Gary. Even if it were impossible, she would still
make a way to be free from Gary’s ideas. But when things got worse, she came to Captain James
Holt.
Amy disclosed everything to Captain Holt. When she finished, Captain Holt only suggested
one thing, and that’s to listen. Amy realized that she never listened to Gary’s suggestion. Captain
Holt added that it wasn’t a job to listen to ”Amy.” It was a pleasure to listen to ”Amy.” Amy solved
a lot of things for the department.
During the next meeting, Amy asked Gary for forgiveness. She admitted everything that she
did to stay clear of Gary. She also tasked Gary to think of a plan for proper filing in the office.
Gary gave Amy five steps and 23 substeps on what they should do. But Amy asked Gary to share
it with him after the meeting.
Jake was right about his speculations. The company NutriBoom is hiding something from
them. According to the files, the company did a cover-up in the past year for them to become free
from the eyes of the law. Jake threatened NutriBoom co-owner Debbie Stovelman for their past
evil deeds. Jake promised that he would go to the FBI to report the illegal act done by NutriBoom.
Jake comes back to the office and greets Amy after her meeting. He wasn’t able to reclaim
his money from the pyramiding scam. Of course, he was sorry because they couldn’t go on a
honeymoon. However, Amy assured him that every day is a honeymoon with her. Amy realizes
that a paparazzi is across the street from them while taking pictures. Jake tells Amy that some-
thing like that would be around them for a while due to his feud with the multi-million company,
NutriBoom.

rell Smith (Perp #3), Kirk Fox (Kurt)
Summary: Jake meets his half-sister and invites her to stay with him.
Jake Peralta uncovers his father’s secret.

As it turns out, he has a half-sister living
on the outskirts of Dallas, Texas. While
Jake and Amy await Katie’s arrival, Jake
feels a little cynical about the situation.
He begins to overthink things. What if
her half sister is a total opposite of him?
When Katie arrived, she did it in style.
And by ”in style,” it means ”in handcuffs”
and ”dragged by the police.” Jake goes
back to being pessimistic about the whole
idea of a far-off family.
In a restaurant, Jake catches up with
Katie and Amy. But as it turns out, Katie
is a true con artist. In an attempt to pay
for their dinner, Katie whips up a Ziploc full of broken glass. She puts glass on her finished plate
and screams that there’s glass in her food.
That night, Katie brings home a street performer to Jake’s and Amy’s apartment. Katie men-
tioned earlier that she would like to experience the real New York. Again, by ”real New York,”
Katie meant taking tourist pictures like a usual tourist. When Jake and Amy is about to go to
sleep, they overhear cluttering in the living room. As it turns out, Katie and a street performer
named William are having sex.
The next day, Katie decides that she should live in New York. She also thinks that Jake
contacting her was an escape from Dallas. Jake isn’t pleased with the idea. Instead, he plans to
get rid of Katie in the most natural way. Jake traces Katie’s ex in Dallas. A guy named Kurt turns
out to be a prisoner from Dallas. Jake flew him into New York.
Katie spots Kurt in the street while they come home from a trip. Back in the apartment, all
is well. Katie packed her bags and is ready to go. But the street performer, William, comes in
because he left his wallet in the living room. Kurt finds out that William and Katie had sex. Katie
cheated on him, and that made him mad about it. Kurt leaves Katie and never looks back.
Meanwhile, Katie finds out about Jake’s plan of getting rid of her, making her mad. Katie
leaves the apartment and heads home to Dallas. But before her flight, Jake saves her from
231
another act. Katie sliced her hand with a broken glass so she could get upgraded to business
class. But someone saw her slit her fingers with a shard. Jake tells the police that he got it from
there. He asked Katie for an apology and sets her free.
Meanwhile, Rosa gets annoyed by Gina. Gina insists that she brews a date for the now-
single Rosa. However, Rosa believes that Gina is no good for this kind of thing. She’s a lousy
matchmaker.
Throughout the day, Gina bugged Rosa about her plans of getting Rosa a date. But Rosa
declines the offer, but not until Gina brings out her synthesizer with recorded vocals of Captain
Ray Holt. As it turns out, Gina recorded Captain Holt’s voice for two years so she could make
any sentence in Captain Holt’s voice.
With the synthesizer, Gina summons Rosa to the briefing room. Gina made a presentation of
the possible dates that Rosa could take. But Rosa is still hesitant about Gina’s skills in match-
making. In the end, Rosa gives Gina a chance. But this is the only chance Gina’s going to get.
Although that’s the case, Gina says she only needs a shot to get things right
Gina sets up Rosa with a blond chick named Irene. When they ordered drinks, Rosa spots the
bartender named Aubrey. In the morning, Rosa comes in late. Gina sees her from a distance and
questions her about time. Gina slips and admits that Irene wasn’t the setup—it was Aubrey.
Caught off-guard, Rosa admits that she and Aubrey had fun. In fact, they will be having dinner
again that night. She also realizes that Gina is an excellent matchmaker, despite all hesitations.
All you have to do is to trust the process. It may be a failure at first, but learn how to go where
it goes. It’s not an overnight solution, but a lifetime answer. Like Jake and Rosa, all you have to
do is give it a chance and decide on whether it is a right choice or not.

After spending some time in Alaska,

Adrian comes back to New York with
fresh eyes. He said that the wild is not
for him. To Jake and Charles’ surprise,
they see Adrian in an unusual scenario.
Now that Charles’ food truck is seeking
justice after burning down, their only ally
is Adrian.
But because time passed by and they
forgot each other, Adrian became an ob-
jective officer towards Jake and Charles.
He even blamed the burning down of the
truck to Charles. Adrian calls it arson
and a call to making money out of it.
There he goes blaming it all on Charles
while investigating the case.
As they trace the actual perpetrator, they rekindled the friendship lost through time. After all,
they realize that they’re still friends and nothing will change about it. However, it wasn’t arson
after all. It’s a case of an unfavorable past between Charles and his worker Ted. It was Ted who
burned the food truck down as revenge towards Charles for firing him.
Jake and Amy Santiago’s wedding draws near. Preparations are on the way. As a good friend,
Rosa Diaz helps Amy look for the perfect dress. After a lot of convincing, they go into one of the
wedding shops in Brooklyn. But during their free time, a criminal escapes, prompting Amy to be
the sergeant that she is. Amy chases after the man while wearing her wedding dress.
As good as it may sound, Amy catches the criminal; while wearing white. But Rosa says that
enough is enough for work. It’s about time that Amy chooses herself and not her job. So there
goes Amy, screaming for the specifications that she wants on her dress. It’s wedding season once
again.

accounts. These accounts, later on, get banned on Twitter for getting tagged as a bot. Now that
Holt’s profile is still on hold, he manages their dog, Cheddar’s, Instagram account. The page now
has 14 thousand views in a matter of hours.

Writer: Carly Hallam Tosh
Director: Beth McCarthy Miller
Guest Stars: Sarah Baker (Kylie), Anastasia Dextrene (Bar Patron), Christopher
Gehrman (Sam Boyle)
Summary: Charles plans an elaborate scavenger hunt for Jake’s bachelor party,
but the day goes awry when the guys decide to take some short cuts in-
stead. Meanwhile, Amy’s bachelorette party escalates when the ladies
realize she previously slept with a member of her soon-to-be wedding
band.
Although Jake and Amy only dated for

eight years, Charles Boyle started plan-
ning the best bachelor party for Jake 10
years ago. Along the ride was Captain
James Holt and Terry Jeffords. The plan
was simple and easy to follow. All that
Jake needed to do is to follow the instruc-
tions given by Charles. But the twist is, it
is a scavenger hunt.
In the beginning, Charles gets kid-
napped by men in a limousine. But he
left notes and clues for Jake to solve.
But Terry, being the buff man that he is,
lured Jake and Captain Holt to eating in a
steak restaurant before ”saving” Charles.
Jake’s nature is getting manipulated by the people around him. All a sudden, they’re in the
restaurant, eating steaks. They also have shots on the side.
After six hours, Jake and the Bach Boys went to solve the puzzle to ”save” Charles. To their
surprise, the hideout Charles was in is a yacht. He planned a surprise steak and booze party for
Jake and his boys. But the Bach boys ate, and their stomachs do not have space for the food
they are about to eat. They pretended to like the feast even if the buttons on their shirt starts
popping out.
But to an unfortunate turn of events, Jake and the other guys get caught to what they did.
When Charles started asking for the items he hid for the scavenger hunt, the Bach Boys can’t
give anything. They later on admitted that they skipped the game instead of playing it. Charles’
heart broke and walked out of the yacht.
Although they are best friends, Jake wouldn’t let the night slip knowing that Charles is mad
at him. To save their friendship, Jake found a way to locate Charles. He was looking for the items
that Jake and the other guys didn’t look for in the scavenger hunt. Jake found Charles and
apologized for what they did. But Jake also pointed out that the event was only Charles’ plan. All
235
Jake wanted was to have fun with his friends before he gets married. He promised Charles that
they are still best friends even if Amy now holds a special place in his heart.
Meanwhile, the girls are running their own world back at Amy’s place. But Rosa Diaz says
that Amy’s part is boring. To turn up the party, Rosa invited the girls for a game of Never Have I
Ever. After a few situations, Amy still didn’t drink from her glass.
She later on clarified that the situations were too ”wild” for her experience. She abides the
law as a real law enforcer. Amy even admits that she reads the terms and conditions before she
agrees with it.
But Amy needed to step her game up, so she reveals that she had a one-night stand with a
band member. In fact, it was the band from her friend Kylie’s wedding. Then things got loose
with her and the band member who later on introduced her as his girlfriend to his mother. Kylie
admits that Constantine Kane will play in her wedding along with his band.
Amy goes into panic mode and immediately thinks of cutting the contract with Constantine.
She rushes off to the bar where Constantine plays and demands to cancel the event. But Con-
stantine says he can’t because he plans to win Amy back. He even wrote a song titled ”Amy,
Come Back.” Instead of bargaining, Amy threatens Constantine that she’ll ask Jake to cut the
deal. But Constantine, being smart, made Jake sign a contract. In the agreement, Constantine
asks $15,000 as a kickback for canceling the deal off.
Amy devises a plan to cancel her ex’s performance at her wedding. The group of girls suggested
that she’ll steal the contract and destroy it. However, Amy is a law-abiding citizen. She can’t steal
because that is against the law. So instead, the girls take it from Constantine. But he is smart
and didn’t let that happen. Amy is a little toasted and has enough courage to break the law. She
steals the contract and burns it to the ground.
Now that Amy and Jake’s problems are over, they are off to their much-awaited wedding. As
Amy admits her one-night stand with Constantine, Jake reveals that he knows. It is because
Constantine wrote him a message with vivid details of what happened to him and Amy. But Jake
still loves Amy the same way he did before.

Season Episode: 20

Guest Stars: Steven Lee Allen (Boban), Andrew Burlinson (Nurse Andrew), Ryan
Paevey (Cop)
Summary: When Rosa responds to an active shooter alert, the rest of the squad is
forced to stay back, desperately fearing for her safety. Feeling helpless,
Jake frantically brainstorms ways to offer his assistance, Terry faces
an existential crisis and Gina and Amy try to make themselves useful
by fixing Rosa’s broken toilet.
It’s a normal day for the Nine-Nine. Scully

and Hitchcock are sharing too much in-
formation about themselves. Jake and
Boyle are getting kicked off task forces for
something Jake did. Amy is still adjusting
to her new position in the uniformed di-
vision and Rosa can’t use the bathroom
because Gina still hasn’t fixed the toilet.
But when an active shooter is on the
loose that normal day is no longer nor-
mal. Rosa is one of the first responding
officers to the situation and by the time
the rest of the Nine-Nine learn about the
incident they have been ordered to stand
down and do nothing.
All anyone can do is sit around and wait. It’s a nerve-racking experience that causes the
Nine-Nine to reflect that one day they could come to work and not go home.
Terry decides it’s time to look over his life insurance policy, scared that he won’t leave anything
for his wife and two girls. In an effort to renew and update the policy Terry needs to go through
a medical exam. Unfortunately, the nurse is unable to register his blood pressure because he is
too nervous about Rosa. Terry breaks the machine.
Amy and Gina decide that they will do something nice for Rosa. They try to get the toilet
fixed. The plumber can’t do it until next week, even with a bribe, prompting Amy to do it herself
with Gina on Mrs. Internet searching for how to videos and they actually do an awesome job. If
reducing the toilet to rubble and being covered in toilet water was the goal.
Jake tries to cope by ignoring the orders and getting over to Rosa to help out. With Boyle to
help him, they cook up an elaborate plan to get weapons from the armory while avoiding Captain
Holt. He gets completely caught by Holt but Holt doesn’t stop Jake. Instead, he gives Jake the
choice. Come back and help the Nine-Nine get through this horrible experience together or rush
off to Rosa who doesn’t need help because she already has the back up she needs, which is why
they have been ordered to stay.
237
Jake, who at first looks as though he is going to ignore Holt, returns bearing what everyone
needs when getting through a crisis. Pizza!
They hunker down and talk out what is going on in their head. All of them are scared for
Rosa, but also scared for themselves. It could easily be one of them in that situation. They keep
talking it out and keeping an eye out on the elevator for Rosa to come out.
The elevator dings and everyone gets excited, the doors open, and out walks Scully, not Rosa.
He gets yelled at, a lot. How dare he use the lift. But while they are all shouting Rosa shouts out
from behind them all to stop it.
They all turn round. Joy on their face and embrace Rosa. Happy to see her.
Everyone wants to talk to her about what happened but she tells them no. She justs wants a
beer and quiet, but first, she has got to pee. That’s when Gina grabs her to show her what Amy
has been doing.
It’s still a bombsight. Amy never fixed it, just made it worse. It doesn’t matter though. The
three hug it out, covered in toilet water.

White Whale
Season 5
Episode Number: 111
Season Episode: 21

Writer: Matt Lawton, Carol Kolb
Director: Matthew Nodella
Guest Stars: James Babson (Nurse Ezra), Paul Gregory (Thug), Carol Herman (Eu-
nice), Allison Tolman (Olivia Crawford)
Summary: Rosa and Amy team up to take down their ”white whale” suspect—a
ruthless killer who has managed to elude them for seven years—while
Terry helps Jake tackle his wedding planning chores. Then, Captain
Holt and his rival, Olivia Crawford, try to convince each other to step
down in the campaign for commissioner.
In the cold opening, Hitchcock comes into

the break room, complaining that he was
shunned and mistreated in a coffee shop
for being a police officer. However, he was
relieved after Jake pointed out it was only
his penis hanging out.
Amy is excited to continue with the fi-
nal week of wedding planning with Jake,
revealing there is a huge binder of tasks
left. She notices Rosa is working on a case
with a killer and drug lord named Sergio
Mindar, her nemesis, who vanished seven
years ago and has been taunting the two
ever since. She got a new lead that he is in
town, and Amy wants to help Rosa. Jake
promises to take care of the day’s scheduled wedding tasks by himself, realizing how important
catching an arch nemesis is. Jake is running far behind on his tasks and pleads for Terry’s help,
knowing he is a great husband. He reluctantly agrees to drop his plan for the day to help Jake.
Jake stresses out with his indecisiveness, fearing Amy would hate the choices he makes.
Terry motivates him by telling him to trust his ”groom gut”, which Jake does. They plan the
tasks to organize the wedding, and Jake goes through all of them. Terry then realizes that he
went way over budget. However, Jake finds a way to make a big saving to get them back on
budget and enlists Scully and Hitchcock’s help. When they go to deliver a shipment to the venue,
Jake accidentally leaves the car keys inside and the locksmith cannot arrive soon enough to
leave them enough time. Terry convinces him that the most important part was Jake caring and
trying his hardest, even if he makes mistakes. Inspired, he breaks the window to get the keys
out, much to Terry’s dismay.
Gina comes to Holt warning him that his opponent for commissioner-ship, Olivia Crawford,
is comes to meet him. She informs him that their mutual opponent, John Kelly, is pulling ahead
and has half of the committee’s votes, while the other half is divided between Olivia and Holt.
239
They think one has to step down to not let Kelly win. Neither is willing, however. Later, Gina and
Charles recommend rumor-mongering to sabotage Olivia’s campaign, but Holt refuses because
it would be dishonorable and against his morals.
Olivia meets Holt again, who had come up with a different option to solve the issue. He
announced that he mailed the committee to step down, realizing he was acting selfishly and Olivia
would make a good commissioner with her intelligence and forward-thinking ways. However, she
says she also sent a similar letter, effectively giving the victory to Kelly. Gina suggests finding
the letters before anyone can read them, and the group heads out to the post office storage. Holt
finds his letter and it is destroyed, but Olivia reveals she, favoring more modern methods, sent an
email instead of a physical letter, therefore eliminating her chances. While they were rivals, she
wanted to help because she would much rather have Holt than Kelly as the next commissioner.
Amy and Rosa think Sergio is back in New York because he is short on money, and notice he
is likely heading to one of his old hideouts. They head there, only to notice he was there but now
gone, taunting them with a message again. Their new approach is to try a connection that they
know without Sergio realizing, and Amy comes up with a plan to meet his grandmother Louise in
a nursing home, whom Sergio met last before vanishing. They go undercover as nurses, trying to
get her to reveal his grandson’s location. However, she does not know when he would see Sergio
next, and hasn’t seen him in the last seven years.
After Rosa gets frustrated at herself for letting Sergio go in the past, Amy admits that it was
her mistake; while the team cornered him in a warehouse and had all exits sealed, Amy heard a
noise and went to check it out, giving Sergio an opportunity to escape. Rosa is upset, but a man
working at the nursing home (knowing they are undercover detectives) tells the two that Louise
was appointed for a therapy session at another building, which was wildly irregular. They go
follow the new lead, and while driving there, another woman from the nursing home calls them
telling that a strange man is searching Louise’s room for something. After confirming that it was
him, they rush back.
Back at the nursing home, Amy and Rosa spot Sergio running away with the money he got
from his stash. He gets away, and Amy injures herself running after him. She and Rosa make
up, and realize Sergio is aided by the man at the nursing home. They go to his apartment to find
Sergio, and finally catch him.

Director: Dan Goor
Guest Stars: Fred Armisen (Mlepnos), Kyle Bornheimer (Teddy), Kyle Gass (Dario
Moretti), Peter Janov (Uniformed Cop), Gina Rodriguez (Alicia), Carol
Schlanger (Aunt Linda)
Summary: Jake and Amy’s wedding day is threatened, and Charles and the whole
squad rush to help save it. Amidst the chaos, Holt hesitates to open the
email that will indicate if he has won his campaign for commissioner,
despite Gina’s encouragement. Meanwhile, Terry gently pushes Rosa
towards a potential love interest.
The wedding of Jake Peralta and Amy

Santiago... of course there was just no
way this was going to be a normal wed-
ding and sure enough, it wasn’t.
Disaster from the start. The cake
hadn’t arrived, the ring bearer woke up
with chicken pox and Amy’s veil had
something all over it. Jake surprisingly
had it all under control.
He sent Terry and Rosa to get the
veil dry cleaned. Chickenpox boy was a
blessing in disguise because he had a
weird-shaped head. Cheddar the dog was
then announced as the new ring bearer,
to Captain Holt’s delight. Hitchcock and
Scully were sent away to find a new band for the wedding. Jake told them their band had can-
celed but that was a lie, he just wanted them out of the way. That was when the phone rang and
Jake was sure it would be the cake guy. It wasn’t. It was someone calling them to let Jake know
a bomb had been planted at their wedding.
So not a great start to their wedding day. It doesn’t get much better because the bomb squad
arrives and Amy’s ex-boyfriend Teddy is back. He is now in charge of the bomb squad, and is
still in love with Any and is trying to win her back.
Teddy spends the rest of the day stalling and taking as long as possible trying to convince
Amy to call off the wedding and run away with him.
Back at the precinct, Captain Holt is getting Cheddar ready to walk down the aisle. With the
help of Gina, a Captain Holt trots down the ”aisle” with Cheddar. It looks weird and Hillarious.
Then Holt gets an e-mail he wasn’t expecting. An e-mail telling him if he is the NYPD Commis-
sioner or not.
Rosa and Terry manage to get the wedding veil cleaned without an issue. Their day is going so
”breezy” that Terry starts trying to get involved in Rosa’s love life. When the car to pick them up
241
shows up and it’s a hot girl that Rosa likes, Terry can’t help himself but intervene. The universe
is pulling them together.y
Or it is until they lose the veil. Its no longer ”breezy” and the universe is a dick. They eventually
find the veil again but it is covered in dirt and soaked in urine. Terry is not pleased. Rosa is
though.
Jake decides that the only way to get this wedding back on track is by finding his archnemesis.
If he catches him/her then they can learn where the bomb is. Unfortunately, that doesn’t go to
plan. Jake doesn’t have an archnemesis. Turns out who he thought it died a long time ago and
Jake was probably the reason for that.
It turns out Amy is the one who has the archnemesis. They find a shrine dedicated to her,
making Jake super jealous. They take the suspect back to the bomb squad to tell them where the
bomb is. He tells them he didn’t plant a bomb. Teddy isn’t listening and it just as well because
they really do find a bomb.
This means it’s over for the wedding. The Peralta/Santiago wedding is off.
Back at the Nine-Nine, Jake and Amy look over the events of the day. Disaster is a bit of an
understatement but that is what it was. It doesn’t put them off wanting to get married however
and the two of them agree to head down to city hall tomorrow.
Boyle is having none of it. They are not getting married like that. Needing only 30 minutes,
the Boyle makeover treatment turns the Nine-Nine into the perfect wedding venue. It’s wedding
time!
The wedding finally happens. Captain Holt officiates with a moving speech about how their
immature friendship, went on immature courtship and will no doubt now be an immature mar-
riage. Tears are everywhere, especially Boyle, and the two exchange their beautiful vows.
Amy’s being the most beautiful with; ”there is a bomb; your butt, your butt is the bomb!”
Back at the bar. Holt calls everyone together, he needs to check his e-mail about the commis-
sioner job. Holt has have been scared to open it all day in case all the hard work he has put in
has been for nothing. He needs the Nine-Nine with him for support.
They all wait, it’s a tense few seconds. Holt reads the e-mail. Puts the phone back in his
pocket. Tells them all they can probably tell by the look on his face.
”No! No, we cant!” screams Jake.
Cuts to black.
