The Golden Globe-winning comedy series Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns for a third 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: Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) falls in love with a woman who ends up being arrested for stealing her own art exhibit.
Peralta Problem: Peralta (Andy Samberg) must figure out who stole the art, since Boyle is convinced it wasn't Genevieve (Mary Lynn Rajskub).
Subplot of the Week: Santiago (Melissa Fumero) decides to pose as a model for the precinct's marketing department only to find things going horribly wrong.
Best Joke: As Peralta returns from a crime scene, he brings back a tarantula. When it escapes, everyone worries. Little do they know that it has sneaked onto Jeffords' (Terry Crews) head. As he leaves to avoid the situation, he discovers the horrible fate.
Culprit: Genevieve did the act herself in order to get back at her boyfriend (James Urbaniak), who was seeing another employee at the art gallery.
Resolution: After Boyle gives up on the case, Peralta solves it and discovers that it was the original person all along. When Santiago discovers that her esteem wasn't high enough to take on the graffiti of New York citizens, Holt (Andre Braugher) decides to make the billboards text-heavy instead. Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) goes looking for who threw out a spoon and discovers that it was Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker).
Verdict: It's another really good episode that is also very well written in the mystery department. For what it's worth, I admire Boyle's dedication to righting personal wrongs when he feels that he has a hunch. It leads to some humorous anecdotes about the value of art as well as digs into the great cameo by James Urbaniak. Seeing Santiago fail to be happy as her face becomes vandalized on posters is another great piece of humor. While I don't like the additional subplot regarding the spoon, the other two were strong enough to make this yet another great episode among a series of good ones.
