He reminisces to a time when their old captain didn’t mind them using a taser on a cantelope.Ĭharles apologizes for Amy and Rosa’s behavior and assures Carlene that he believes in her psychic abilities. He’s mostly angry that he won’t be able to sing along to the explicit lyrics of the rap mixtape he put together. Jake complains to Terry about the captain joining him on his stakeout. Amy and Rosa are skeptical, insulting Carlene’s so called gift, and leaving the conversation. The colors blue and yellow are involved, as well as the letters L, R, S, T, W, E and B. Carlene claims to have a vision at that moment and predicts that the drugs they are looking for are in a location. Gina swears Carlene predicted a hookup she had at a bar recently. Interrupting their conversation, Gina introduces her friend Carlene, a psychic who offers to help them with their case. Amy mentions that she also studied art history in school. While investigating the drug dealer, Charles notes that he graduated with an Art degree. Captain Holt then announces that he will be accompanying Jake in order to babysit him. Terry suggests using his mini van, as the vandal already discovered and tagged three undercover vehicles. He tells Captain Holt that his plan to catch the perp is to plant a decoy squad car, while he sits and waits in an undercover car. Jake briefs the group on a vandalism case involving someone spray painting male genitalia on police squad cars. Later in the briefing room, Amy, Rosa and Charles are assigned to a drug bust.
Finally, pointing out a mouse living in Jake’s desk, Holt instructs him to get his act together. When Jake asks Holt if he’s going to call out his mistakes in front of everyone, Holt agrees and gathers everyone around to point out Jake's mismanaged cases, filthy locker, and dirty clothes filing system. The problem being that he threw his phone in the toilet when the alarm chimed that morning. Holt reprimands him for being late, but Jake blames it on a plumbing problem.
Jake enters the precinct to find Captain Holt standing at his desk. Plot For the episode transcript, go here. Meanwhile, Gina's psychic friend visits the precinct and gets inside Charles' head. However, when the culprit turns out to be the Deputy Commissioner's son, the case becomes a major problem.
The interesting thing about the show’s format is that Samberg generally is a good cop…many shows like this have the bumbling cop be a bad cop, but there are plenty of bumbling coworkers to take that role.When Jake is late for roll call, Captain Ray Holt assigns him to a graffiti case that Jake feels is below his level. Fortunately, he doesn’t carry the whole show and much of the comedy comes from his supporting cast who is equally strong (but they don’t always get solo episode stories). Samberg is the core of Brooklyn Nine-Nine so if you do have problems with his style of comedy, you probably won’t like the show.
It isn’t inane as something like Reno 911!, but it feels more like what both Night Court and Barney Miller would have evolved to in a modern day setting. This is pretty much how Brooklyn Nine-Nine goes with the amount of “case” storyline varying from episode to episode. Generally law comedies are kind of like Barney Miller or Night Court with weird and goofy arrests being made while a storyline about relationships amongst the police develop. I can’t say that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is the most inventive series, but it is smart.
