Subplot of the Week: Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) tries to teach Holt (Andre Braugher) how to cook after he mistakes him for a food nut.
Best Joke: Sophia gets a whole lot of dolls to throw around the room because she thought that it would be funny. However, as you can see in the above picture, they are very creepy.
Culprit: It seems like Peralta still loves Santiago more than he lets on, causing her quest to break up with Teddy to be a little rocky.
Resolution: Sophia breaks up with Peralta, though they resolve their issues off camera. Santiago still has Teddy watching over her. Holt is grateful for his new found skills as a cook. After Gina (Chelsea Peretti) and Jeffords (Terry Crews) locks Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) in a storage room to quarantine her sickness, she is grateful for everything.

Verdict: While I do feel like the Peralta/Santiago love story is going to only get more annoying from here, I do enjoy how things reveal themselves in the final act. The subtle cues that get Peralta to react is an ingenious plot device. Meanwhile, the subplots are pretty good and between the Holt/Boyle story and the Diaz story, there's a lot of great variety of humor here. I am also feeling more confident that Gina is being better integrated into the show. She used to be annoying, but I now understand her purpose here. Overall, another strong episode full of solid performances thanks to the wide variety of cast members. Plenty of laughs and inventive ways to explore various relationships. Also, kudos on seeing a different side of Diaz.
