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: Holt (Andre Braugher) and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) must help musician John William Weichelbraud find his missing oboe.
Peralta Problem: Upon hearing about a celebrity case, Peralta (Andy Samberg) attempts to hand off his assignment to Hitchcock (Joel McKinnon Miller) and Scully (Dirk Blocker) only to have things backfire.
Subplot of the Week: With a blood drive coming up, Santiago (Melissa Fumero) decides to have the women of the precinct spend a day overcoming their fears.
Best Joke: Upon discovering that his idol is a criminal, Holt decides to have an orchestra play a show for Boyle, only to discover that they are just as shady and desperate.
Culprit: Weichelbraun is revealed to be selling his own oboe and set up the entire case for the insurance money.
Resolution: Holt discovers that his idol is a greedy scheme artist and decides to reward Boyle for not giving in to the glitz and glamour of worship. Meanwhile, Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) faces the needle of a blood drive with a screaming tantrum, though she technically overcomes her fear by doing such. Peralta discovers that Scully and Hitchcock are possibly capable of doing more cases. However, Jeffords (Terry Crews) thinks that it isn't wise and buys them chairs that they immediately fall asleep in.
Verdict: I will admit that the show works best when it has multiple plots going on. I especially like that Boyle gets a chance to be seen as a hero in the eyes of Holt. I also like that we get to see the continuing redemption of Hitchcock and Scully as something of a competent team. It's an above average episode with a lot of fun and humorous moments that reflect the cast working together very well. Even if the facing your fears plot was a little thin, it was still fun to have the female characters have their own story together. Overall, a really good episode and one that shows the series doing what it does best.
Rating: 4 out of 5
