BWW Recap: Ride in 'The Chopper' on BROOKLYN NINE-NINE

On this episode of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, Wuntch allows Jake to work the case of his dreams. However, Holt is worried she is setting Jake up to fail. Meanwhile, Terry plans a field trip to a local magnet-school where he is trying to get his twins, Cagney and Lacey, into. Amy, Rosa, and Gina assist Terry in hosting the trip, which can only lead to something bad happening. Keep reading for the full recap, but beware of spoilers!

Gina is insanely distracted on her phone, so the squad makes a bet and the first person who makes her look up wins the pot. Terry wins by changing his relationship status to "It's Complicated," but even though he won the money, his wife was not happy about the change.

Jake is briefing the team about a death that could be connected to 21 million dollars of stolen money. Jake thinks it's an epic case, but Holt tells him to treat it like a regular case. Meanwhile, Terry tells the squad that they are hosting a field trip for a magnet school that he's trying to get his kids into. Amy, Gina, and Rosa volunteer to help him.

Another murder connected to the money occurs, and Holt tells Jake and Boyle that Wuntch wants to talk to them, probably to hand the case over to Major Crimes, and Jake won't let it happen. The magnet school makes it to the precinct, and the principal and Amy hit it off, and Gina makes friends with the "alpha" of the students. Over at Wuntch's, she tells them that the case is still theirs and that they have her full support.

Jake decides to go after the two living members of the Fulton Street Four, and Holt tells him that he's joining the case, so that they don't mess anything up and prove Wuntch right. The principal of the school wants to talk to Terry and he puts Amy in charge. Unfortunately, Amy does not know what to do with kids, so she just shows them a picture of a dead body.

The principal of the school tells Terry that she'll give his file another look, but it's ruined when she comes in and sees the pictures of the dead bodies. Jake, Boyle, and Holt go check up on their suspect, and they find him and he tells them that the other member of the Fulton Street Four, DeAngelo, is trying to kill him. Jake called Wuntch and asked for a chopper so then can go get the suspect, and she approved, and it's on its way to them!

The guys are on the chopper, and they assign themselves code name, Jake being "Death Blade," Boyle being "Side Winder," and Holt being "Wet Blanket." Holt is upset, becuase if they don't catch DeAngelo, Wuntch will make sure his career is over. Back at the 9-9, Amy apologizes to the prinicpal of the school, and point out the kids did teach alot. Meanwhile, the chopper lands and the guys strut out in typical movie fashion. They find DeAngelo, and he's dead. Jake calls to see if the other guy, Bloodzo, is still in custody, and he finds out that he escaped the hospital. Oh no.

Jake goes to talk to Holt, and he points out how they are working an epic murder and all he can think about is Wuntch. Holt realizes Jake is right, and decides they need to solve this case. He even gives himself a code name, "Valvant Thunder." Back at the precinct, Terry thanks the girls because his kids are off of the wait-list, and he also tells Gina she was named "Spring Dance Princess."

Jake, Holt, and Boyle find Bloodzo, and the money! In the words of Holt, "bing-pot!" Back at the precinct, Wuntch tells Holt she wanted him to succeed so that she has a reason to promote him, so he has to leave the 99, because she's making him head of NYPD Public Relations. No!!!!

No, Holt can't leave the 99! I won't allow it! Darn, Wuntch, why does she have to be so evil?! I really hope they figure out how to save Holt from the promotion, because even a few episodes without him in the precinct will be so sad. Holt and Jake's dynamic is definitely my favorite part of the show, and I don't know what I'd do if Holt left. Jake needs to save the day, and if I know him, he most likely will--well attempt to, at least.

There's only one more episode of Season 2, so there's sure to be some drama in next week's episode. I am hoping that some headway is made in the Jake/Amy department, because I can't wait a whole other season just for the two of them to admit they like each other. I am looking forward to the finale, because it is sure to deliver! I just hope some good news, and not a cliff-hanger. Except, I know it's going to be a cliffhanger.
