Brooklyn 99 the tagger thats the butt free#
It's pleasantly jarring to see Braugher's character break free of his deadpan delivery and don a gleeful tone. Witnessing Holt become genuinely enthusiastic and invested in the case alongside Peralta and Boyle is a sight to see. It's always a pleasure seeing the more carefree side of Captain Holt and this episode utilizes it perfectly. There's nothing you can't love in this one from Holt, Jake & Boyle jumping off the helicopter in bad-ass fashion to the rest of the squad hosting a field trip for some middle-schoolers to Santiago proclaiming "Some say Latin is a dead language, but I say it's just taking a long nap". This is an episode where you not only get hooked on the gang's hi-jinks but the case itself as they try to find the members of the Fulton Street Four. Peralta, Boyle, and Holt flying in a helicopter to find a murderer and a million bucks, how could this not be amazing. Who better than the gang at the Nine-Nine to get you in the turkey day spirit? Regardless of any fights or disagreements they have, they are a group with infectious chemistry. This is another installment that conveys how tight the cops at the nine-nine are. The final result is an ethnic dinner at the precinct with the whole squad together. On the other hand, Terry can't stop being hungry and does whatever he can to get himself some food. Of course, Rosa is happy the night was a disaster. From her apartment to Shaw's Bar to the precinct itself. In the other plot, the Amy Thanksgiving dinner results in many relocations. Holt goes into character during their visit to the perp's house and the end result is a moment that phenomenally showcases the Captain's eccentric side. Jimes, a man who solved every case except one, the murder of his wife.

Approaching the criminal, Peralta makes up aliases for the two, Barley and Jimes. Peralta hates Thanksgiving with a passion and finds an opportunity to get out of Amy's disaster Thanksgiving dinner to work a case with Holt. If Brooklyn Nine-Nine was as recognizable as Seinfeld, "My wife was murdered by a man in a yellow sweater" would be as wildly quoted as "Not that there's anything wrong with it". Despite that, it works a lot better when viewed alongside the following six episodes. As a standalone addition, it's a wildly engaging ride. This episode is a great introduction to the Figgis arc that inhabits the show from late season 3 to early season 4. The end result is rather somber as Rosa bids goodbye to Pimento and the gang vows to take down Figgis. Adrian's madcap humor shines in the episode but the Rosa plot is equally entertaining as Amy, Gina, and Boyle each try to give Diaz the best party, leading the gang to go from laser tag to trivia night to demolishing a building. Pimento then has to go into hiding after they find that Figgis has an agent in the FBI. Things take a dark turn when the guys find that Figgis hired an assassin to kill Adrian, resulting in him having to fake his death. In this late-season 3 episode, Rosa & Pimento are about to get married so the girls (and Boyle) have a party with Rosa while the guys hang out with Pimento.
