On Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 2 Episode 1, viewers were asked to adjust to a new timeslot and a new dynamic between Captain Holt and Jake Peralta.
Does the former really respect and admire the latter? Kind of. Sort of. He did conclude his toast toward the end of the premiere with a heartfelt sentiment aimed at his underling.
And for good reason: Peralta returned from his six-month undercover mission after nabbing 15 of 16 bad guys. He then dedicated himself to apprehending the one mobster who got away, going back into his mafia garb with Boyle by his side.
In an interesting twist, Peralta actually failed in this mission. The bad guy got away to Barbados.
But the theme here was that Jake had to learn he cannot control everything around him. All he can do is try his hardest and let the results play out as they may.
This is true in the field, but also in his personal life, as Jake at first told Santiago that he didn't really mean it when he said he liked her before leaving on his mission...
... only to then go back and tell her otherwise. He respects her relationship. He's not trying to get in the way. He just wants to be honest.
Sounds pretty serious and heartfelt for a sitcom, doesn't it? Don't worry. There were plenty of hilarious Brooklyn Nine-Nine quotes and moments that bordered on the absurd. To wit:
- Gina and Boyle recreated The Incident, sleeping with each other once again despite both agreeing it was a mistake the first time.
- According to Jake, highlights from his time undercover included how "fixed a boxing match, smoked a whole cigar without vomiting and was once in a room with 12 guys named Sal."
- Gina believes the "naked mole rat" is "God's disgusting mistake."
- Jake might actually believe the word "awesome" starts with an "O."
- Boyle is fermenting beans in his desk.
- Holt kept a boyhood diary that included such entries as: "I am feeling trepidation at the prospect of a parentless existence."
- Terry chipped his tooth in a flashback and talked with a lisp and you must go watch Brooklyn Nine-Nine online to see how this impacted his interrogations.
