It has been far too long since Brooklyn Nine Nine has graced our television screens. The first part of this season featured the Nine Nine crew working hard to get back to the status quoto get back to what they consider normaland they achieved that, more or less. But that return to normalcy appears to be short lived, because the Nine Nine is once again in peril. Actually, when you put that way, the status quo for the Nine Nine might just be the challenges it faces from forces beyond their control.

The premiere garnered 6. These challenges are absolutely part of Brooklyn Nine Nines creative make up. So what better way for the show to come back from a break than with a threat from a familiar followed by a not so familiar face I cant imagine anyone clamoring for the return of Amys ex boyfriend Teddy, especially given his designation as the most boring man alive, but it is always nice to see Kyle Bornheimer pop up on a television show. Of course, this episode couples that likability factor with the fact that Teddy truly is absurdly dull. The scene where he declares his love for and proposes to Amy in front of his girlfriend Rachel Jama Williamson is delightfully insensitive. Its also just par for the course this very wacky episode. That wackiness is technically good for Brooklyn Nine Nine, in terms of it being an episode that has the show make a hot return and also possibly grabbing the attention of new viewers. Its flashy, even though its not exactly an episode thats most indicative of Brooklyn Nine Nines ability as a television show and sitcom. Ive written before that a relatively chill return episode for a show can end up coming across as a weak entry point, especially if the episode or episodes that come next turn up the volume. So theres at least comfort in the realization that this episode doesnt take things easy. But still, the episode is very broad, which is always a risky choice for Brooklyn Nine Nine. Immature hijinks from Jake and Amy with an of course he was still recording plot, wacky Japanese copiers for Terry, and coked up rats for Boyle Thats this episode in a nutshell, which is really just as weird in practice as it is on paper. The B and C plots in this episode Terry and the copier, Boyle and the rats are barely even plots in the first place, as the true episode story is all in the A plot with Jake, Amy, and Teddy. At the same time, what we do get is still veryfunny business, and its probably for the best that they arent full plots. The joke of Ken Marinos C. J. Story wise, the most important aspect of these plots is that the Nine Nine appears efficient once Teddy returns from his time with Jake and Amy. Sometimes Brooklyn Nine Nine can fumble with this type of disjointed structure, but as a return from a pretty long hiatus, the show picked the right time to go with this type of nonsense. Killer coked up rats cant work in just any episode. Neither can wolf urine. And it all sort of makes sense in the end, because even though this is a frantic 2. Brooklyn Nine Nine Season 3 Episode 21So Brooklyn Nine Nine takes this return episode and makes sure the audience will remember to tune in for the next episode. As for the meat of the episode, Teddys return as the one in charge of the Nine Nines and the 2. Nine Nines happy bubble, because its a nice reminder these characters have made some enemieseven unintentionallyin order to keep their strong bonds intact. But even before all the recording shenanigans in the episode, I found myself wondering why no one at the Nine Nine tried to have Teddy recuse himself from this case. Then the episode goes for that resolution at the end, meaning the 2. A funny waste of the characters time, but still, somethings not quite right here. Well see next week why the same wont be done for the newly introduced Veronica Kimberly Hebert Gregory, given her past relationship with and threat to Terry. Brooklyn Nine Nine is just a sitcom, but a lot of the series conflicts with authority figures come with far more difficult struggles when it comes to their eventual resolutions. Holts feud with Wuntch was a combination of them bringing out the worst in each other and a game of career chess it was very personal, but it was never easy. Dozerman was an efficiency freakwithout the casual side or even general human decency of someone like Holtwho the Nine Nine only got out of serving because he died. The Vulture isas his nickname statesa career vulture who succeeds off the backs of other cops hard work. And even that arc caused some questions about Brooklyn Nine Nines approach to stories moving forward, because he was really dumb. These conflicts were much more legitimate than the almost insulting bitter break up trope introduced by Teddys and Veronicas presence. Watch War Pigs Online. And now were supposed to buy that the Nine Nine is in going to be in peril because of these characters varying levels of emotional control. The B and C plots show that the Nine Nine actually does have problems like the 2. Nine Nine wont come out on top, this audit situation which has the major consequence of one precinct being completely shut down lacks true conflict. And this lack of conflict will apparently last more than one episode. Basically, making the auditors unhappy exes leads to a threat thats less believable than the idea that Brooklyn Nine Nine was actually killing Gina off with the bus accident. Because Hitchcock is absolutely right on that front Gina Linetti is back, baby So is Brooklyn Nine Nine, though hopefully it doesnt get too caught up in the wackiness. A statement return is one thing, but the possibility of this becoming the norm is another. Optimism is typically the key when it comes to all thing Brooklyn Nine Nine though, so Im sure it will rise from these over the top ashes like a phoenix. Stray observations. This week in webisodes Brooklyn Nine Nine needs Jazz Brunch With Teddy Rachel. It would obviously have to take place before their break up and during a jazz brunch Jake and Amy dont ruin. Adult coloring books at jazz brunch is some form of hell, I just know it. Speaking of, one of the earliest Brooklyn Nine Nine moments that made me realize it was the show for me was Ginas interpretive dance to Christina Aguileras Beautiful. Her dance in this episodes cold open, to prove that shes still as capable as she once was, is another perfect moment. The pained screams she makes as she dances are absolutely beautiful. She truly is an angel, and I hope she gets her revenge on all New York City buses. Kimberly Hebert Gregory is fantastic on Vice Principals, so even though shes here to destroy Terry and the Nine Nine, Im still excited to see her. Gina Yeah, I mean I was legally dead for two full minutes. And I met God. Rosa Tight. What does she look likeGina Ethnically ambiguous. Holt BecauseBoyle Theyre Americas dream couple. Holt You need to calm down. Were in a workplace. Amy Because he is boring. His favorite app on his phone is Contacts. Honestly, this particular tidbit sounds like an interest Amy would share with Teddy. At the very least, her favorite app must either be her calendar or a list based app. People in glass houses shouldnt throw stones, Santiago. Holt Ive never been more proud of you for anything in your life. Terry Ive solved a lot of cases for you. Holt And yet crime has continued. Terry My copierHolt My precinctRosa Charles Rosa gets points for being the only one to care about Boyles well being, but she then throws them all away to blame him for being too weak to let the coked up rats kill him. Teddy Hey guys Its Teddy from jazz brunch. This episode is ridiculous, but I cant deny the amount of great lines in this over the top world.
