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: Jeffords (Terry Crews) becomes paranoid when he discovers that there's important information that was leaked.
Peralta Problem: With the help of an old friend, Peralta (Andy Samberg) must help Holt (Andre Braugher) break into the FBI to retrieve files on their criminal.
Subplot of the Week: Santiago (Melissa Fumero) tries to retrieve even more information from the criminal's sister (Aida Turturro) while in prison, and Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) tries to seduce her to help.
Best Joke: In order to distract the guard at the FBI, Holt shares information that he's learned about Sex and the City in great detail. His insistence that he is a Samantha only adds to the comedy as other hacking jobs take a little longer than expected.
Culprit: While Holt and the precinct don't catch their man, they do discover that his involvement with the FBI causes Holt's friend to have a bit of a grudge against him.
Resolution: By his own foolishness, Jeffords discovers that the information was leaked by himself. This was following a picture that he took sharing that he enjoyed yogurt, and the information was present in the background. Meanwhile, Peralta discovers that the information that they have may be accurate, but they likely picked up the wrong file. Santiago meanwhile tries to befriend an inmate and is getting pretty good at it. Still, Holt is in hot water as his friend becomes annoyed that he is plotting to take down one of his agents.
Verdict: With this being the penultimate episode, it does feel a little bit like it's meandering. Brooklyn Nine-Nine being serialized doesn't quite work as well as standalone episodes. However, there's still a lot of laughs and the journey to find their culprit continues to have interesting turns. Still, the past two episodes have felt anticlimactic, and it does take away from the overall quality. Still, any episode that manages to feature an excellent use of Sex and the City as a distraction device is fine by me. It's a good episode, but it probably will depend on next week's episode to determine just how good this actually was.
