BWW Recap: Meet 'Johnny and Dora' on the BROOKLYN NINE-NINE Season 2 Finale!

Tonight's episode of BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, "Johnny and Dora," is the much anticipated finale! In the episode, Jake and Amy go undercover to catch an identity thief. The investigation brings them closer together. Meanwhile, the precinct has an unexpected goodbye to say. Keep reading for the full recap, but beware of major finale SPOILERS!

Scully is in a state of distress, because their vending machine is being replaced. The squad says bye to the machine, since it's been with them forever. They even give the machine a "squad salute." When the machine falls and breaks open however, the only thing on their mind is "free candy!"

Jake briefs the squad about Michael Augustin, an identity thief, and Holt pairs up Jake and Amy to tail Augustin. Jake acts weird when they get paired up, leading Amy to think something is wrong. Jake, using a Jamacian accent, tells Amy how he had planned to ask her out before she told him that wasn't what she wanted. In Holt's office, he tells Terry and Gina that he's being forced out of the 9-9. They both freak out, but Holt says they need to find "the letter," which is a letter in which Wuntch called her now-boss a buffoon, and if they find it, he'll be able to stay. Terry and Gina are in to help Holt, Gina even turns her phone off!!

Rosa is upset, because Boyle is insinuating that Marcus is throwing her a surprise party for her birthday. That night, Amy and Jake have to go undercover in a restaurant in order to tail Augustin. Playing Johnny and Dora, they pretend to have just gotten engaged to get a table--much to Jake's discomfort.

Jake and Amy get a table--right next to Augustin and his girl. Over at the archives, Gina tells Terry she found where the letter should be, and she tells Terry to go get it while she distracts the guard. Terry has trouble opening the file, so he just takes the whole tower out, and they give Holt the file. Back at the stakeout, Boyle admits to Rosa there is a surprise party for her, and she's very upset, so upset that she revokes his priviledge to call her Rosa. At the restaurant, Augustin and his girlfriend ask Jake and Amy a bunch of questions about their relationship, making them answer questions that realize their feelings.

Holt is about to confront Wuntch, but Wuntch, making sure he isn't bugged, gives him a very uncomfortable pat-down. Back at the restaurant, Augustin says he's going in the back to talk to the chef, and as they are watching him, he notices, so Jake kisses Amy to make it less suspicious.

Back in the van, they tell Boyle and Rosa they kissed, much to Boyle's excitement. They follow Augustin to where he is leaving the package, and Jake tells Boyle and Rosa to follow Augustin while Amy and he stay with the package. Meanwhile, Holt shows Wuntch the letter, and he tells her she has until tomorrow to reverse his promotion. Jake and Amy notice that the guy with the package is looking at them, so Amy kisses Jake, making them look harmless, and when he picks up the package, they arrest him!

Back at the 99, Amy and Jake are signing the arrest report, and thinks are a little awkward. They both agree they don't want things to change, so they will just stay partners. Boo. Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Rosa walks into what she thinks is a surprise party, but is actually Marcus who rented out the bar so that they could have her birthday dinner in peace. After another weird pat-down, Wuntch tells Holt that she'd transfer all of his team if he doesn't accept the transfer. He decides to take the transfer, and unsuprisingly, the 99 is very upset, INCLUDING HOLT. Gina decides to go with Holt. Later, Jake finds Amy in the evidence room, and they talk about the transfer and all the change, which leads to Jake kissing Amy! However, they are interrupted by Boyle who lets them know the new captain is here---except, we don't get to see who it is until Season 3-- BOO.

Oh man, man oh man. Holt is leaving. I am not ok with this. Not one bit. The fact that Gina is going with him makes it even worse. They can't not be in the 9-9! It isn't the 9-9 without them! I know they're bringing in a new Captain, too, but I doubt anyone can be better than Holt. I only hope the squad hatches a plan to get him back, or else the show will never be the same. I mean, watching Holt get emotional actually made me emotional. There's something about someone who never shows any emotion finally showing emotion that makes it that much more difficult to take. And only he can make robot sounds both funny and heartbreaking at the same time. Season 3 will be full of change, but I only hope order will be restored in the 9-9 quickly.

Speaking of change, Jake and Amy kissed! Three times! With the last kiss being a non-undercover kiss. Unfortunately, their kiss in the evidence room was cut short, so we did not get to hear a reaction from Amy after Jake instigated it, but I hope the kiss means that they will be together come Season 3. I for one have waited a long time for them to be together, because they work so well together and balance each other out very well.

I really enjoyed this finale, and I even enjoyed the C-plot of Boyle and Rosa. It was really sweet to see how much Boyle cared for Rosa and how he helped Marcus plan her a perfect birthday. Not to mention, I loved how Boyle mentioned Rosa's disdain for the Gilmore Girls finale, and how Rosa just wanted Lorelai to be happy, because I'm a huge fan of that show.
