Hell, Im surprised they waited 4 episodes to bring Holt back to the Nine Nine. They had Jake back one episode into season 2 despite the deep undercover setup that ended season 1.

When cast chemistry is one of the primary strengths of a show, I dont really see the benefit of breaking up the characters for extended periods of time.

Jake's deep cover was an in-show cover for the summer break.

I think Jake comming back, thinking for a moment then awkwardly kissing Gina then running off, only to leave Gina yelling "pay your bill! Where were you raised" was the highlight of the episode.

:agreed: this was amazing. I rewound it a few times. So good.

I also think Chelsea is amazing and I want to track down a Gina Told You So shirt, for me, a grown man.

I think The Vulture is a character that only works in small doses and he was right on the verge of being overexposed (insert joke here) so I'm happy that Holt is back now.

Beeper King and Rafi are my two favorite TV characters but I don't want to see them every week and if I do, for no more than a random line

I have to admit, I never thought I would enjoy anything more than Holt and Peralta sparring with each other. I was wrong. Holt and Peralta as frenemies/allies/whatever is the best thing ever. It's like the odd couple, but somehow even odder because both Braugher and Sanberg both commit 100 percent to their respective roles.

Because all fucking hell is going to break loose

Agreeing with the sentiment that it felt pretty forced, but it's good to have Holt back. The first part of this season felt really disjointed with the "new captain" schtick, so hopefully the show is back to normal (that ep ruled so I'd think thats the case). I can't wait for the Halloween episode!

They did a really good job showing what assholes Jake and Holt were for excluding Amy from the heist. Here are the two men in her life that matter to her most, the man she admires and the man she loves, and those reasons are making them exclude her.

Everyones costumes in the cold open. Amy in what was clearly a costume she stole from the year she helped Santa at Macy's and Diaz as Little Bo peep.

Though nothing beats Terry as Popeye.

I loved how she and Holt did their heists in their normal everyday clothes. Rosa is dressed as a cat burglar all year long and Holt just does it in a shirt and tie because, abs.

Randomly I can across this in a book on WW2, tank commander Raymond Holt.

Has anyone else noticed striking similarities between Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Archer? There are many near character matches (Cyril/Boyle, Cheryl/Gina), but Jake is straight up Archer.

Jake generally isn't a huge rear end in a top hat, he isn't a womanizer or alcoholic, nor particularly violent. He's overconfident, charming, and wings things a lot are the only real similarities I see.

Indeed! The fun part in these episodes is always watching how the bait and switch happened. It was pretty obvious that Amy would end up with the crown, but how she deceived each team was the best reveal.

Holt barely being able to stomach a soda just to spite Parolta was great

I'd agree on Cheryl and Gina going only on season one (of B99), but none of the rest fit, and even those two don't any more.
