I can’t wait until he ruins Sammy’s wedding.

“Tongs are not a friend of the cookie” went beyond Classic Curb, it was Classic Seinfeld.

I thought some of this felt a little forced (the bits about dating exes, the weird presence of Marty and his nephew just to make the final bit come together) but most of it was brilliant. The pickle jar bit, the tongs (brought back beautifully at the end), the dialogue with the sex worker—all gold. And I think the…

“No stone fruit?”

I’m looking forward to Michael and Eleanor being on the same team - the quick look between them when Vicky started singing sold me completely. This episode felt like a lot of set up, but I guess every week can’t end on a ‘what?!’ note.

After the insanely ambitious last episode, it was inevitable that this would be a quieter installment. And it worked - we probably needed something like this - and we finally got to see how Tahani died.

Two legitimate points I had in my notes:

I’m just trying to work up the nerve to see her.

I’m not Captain Holt.

I’m with Diaz.

We definitely were robbed of more Rosa in the big house. Also I loved Rosa objecting to Amy smooching Jake and ignoring her when they both came back at the end & the show is an idiot for not having Amy then passionately kiss Rosa. I mean, it is, right?

Oh, that’s right! Thank ya’.

It happened in the Fugitive episode. They had another bet to decide whose apartment they’d move into.

I think my bar has always been that if B99 can get me to laugh, then it is a winning episode. And this episode had so many hilarious moments that I definitely think this arc was worth it. That being said, the first part was much stronger and it felt way too rushed to squeeze this out in 2 episodes. I’m glad that the…

That was an amazing dream sequence from Rosa. I almost wish it was real.

Yeah, you were right in your S4 finale review. The stakes in this story felt forced and perfunctory. Still, even a weaker Brooklyn 99 is still packed with great jokes. Also, thank goodness you’re back!
