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: After freaking out during a case 20 years ago, Jeffords (Terry Crews) decides to right some wrongs by solving a case involving a wheelchair-bound criminal and a cat that has haunted him for years.
Peralta Problem: When Peralta (Andy Samberg) notices how much Jeffords' past failures haunt him, he decides to help him solve it while occasionally being distracted by a trio of cats.
Subplot of the Week: Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) becomes concerned when he decides that Pimento (Jason Mantzoukas) has been freeloading off of him for too long, but is still unable to shake Pimento's manipulative ways.
Best Joke: Upon solving the case, Jeffords is so riled with hatred for cats that he wants to arrest the cat, despite likely being dead for over a decade. His reaction is typically over the top and passionate.
Culprit: The answer turns out to be a lot easier than one could think. The culprit all along was the same man. He just faked a spine injury in order to not be accused of a very physical crime.
Resolution: Peralta helps Jeffords solve the case as his old coworkers begin to taunt him with cats and various other complaints. Boyle uses Gina's (Chelsea Peretti) assistance in getting rid of Pimento, which inevitably works when she acts dominant. Meanwhile, Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) and Santiago (Melissa Fumero) comes to terms with their irrationally competitive attitudes with Holt (Andre Braugher), which causes them all to fail bomb defusing practice runs.
Verdict: The crime itself is very predictable and doesn't really warrant its execution. However, that is secondary to what is arguably one of the more endearing moments of the season. Jeffords is afraid of cats, who embody his frustration. Seeing a grown, muscled man freak out to small and cute creatures is the reason that Terry Crews is so good at comedy. It's a solid episode all around and it provides some great character moments between all sides of the cast, especially Peralta and Jeffords. The subplots may not be as fun, but they all have too many memorable moments to fully write off.
Rating: 3.5 out of 5
