The Golden Globe-winning comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns for a second season of hilarity and crime. After an impressive first season that chronicled one of the best new ensembles solving problems and forming unexpected relationships, the series is back to tackle bigger things. Will it be as great as the first season? Stay tuned every Wednesday for the recap on that week's episode to find out through interesting tidbits including the best jokes and what the crew is up to that week.

Crime of the Week: Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) is running unopposed for an office position and Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) decides to race against him.

Best Joke: After Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) break up, they discover that they forgot to take care of one little matter regarding their hotel room. Both decided to have their parent sleep over, which leads to an awkward clashing of the two in a way that almost mirrors an older version of Gina and Boyle's relationship.

Resolution: Peralta continues to see Sophia. Boyle and Gina separate. Santiago finally decides to run against Scully for the office position when Holt convinces her.
Verdict: Not a great episode, but definitely one that is solid front to back. It may play into typical cliches between Sophia and Peralta, but it does manage to find some life within those jokes. Otherwise, it is a rather straight forward episode that is packed with some good moments and a chance to expand on the parental backgrounds of a few of the characters. I have a feeling like the race that Santiago is running will disappear next week, which should make things less exciting in the long run. Still, there's enough laughs to make it work as a solid ensemble episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
Rating: 3 out of 5
