Subplot of the Week: Peralta and Santiago (Melissa Fumero) discover that Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) have been dating and must work on making sure that the secret doesn't get out.

Best Joke: Jeffords (Terry Crews) and Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) infiltrate a silent disco and discover that everyone listens to music through headphones. The joke works more as an inventive way to hear conversations, but it still works to have this ridiculous sound of shoes screeching on the floor while everyone talks. Also, Jeffords' disinterest in it makes it all the more enjoyable.

Culprit: Wunch was in cahoots with Lt. Miller (Dan Bakkerdahl) to take down the precinct simply because she was angry at Holt.
Resolution: Peralta and Holt discover that Wunch is behind The Mole, who is germophobe Lt. Miller. Boyle and Gina come out as being a couple in order to combat a potential upset by everyone. Peralta returns all of the files and discovers that Holt's middle name is Jacob. Jeffords and Diaz discover that the person dealing drugs was Ava (Jasmin Savoy Brown), who taught Jeffords children at a learning annex.
Verdict: One of the perks of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is that it works best when all of the plots are focusing on their own thing. Sure, the supporting stories aren't all that exciting, but with a silent disco and the revelation of Miller being the mole, it reflects why the series is able to make humor fit very well into the premise of mystery. It is nice to see the Gina/Boyle relationship go to a new level while we get plenty of great time between Holt and Peralta. Overall, a really strong episode that reflects the strengths of the entire cast and worth checking out.
