'''''The Puzzle Master''''' is the fifteenth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s fifth season.
Amy's sergeant's exam results are in and, to no one's surprise, she passed. Knowing that their time together as colleagues will soon come to an end, Jake presents Amy with one last case they can work on together: a serial arsonist who leaves crossword puzzles behind as clues.

Surprisingly, it turns out that Vin, as Melvin likes to be called, is an incredibly handsome man who also happens to be a fitness model and Jake finds himself jealous at how well Vin gets along with Amy.
Holt, meanwhile, is preparing for the final round of assessments to determine who the next NYPD commissioner will be with Gina's help. All of the preparation goes out the window, however, when one of the three old white male candidates is replaced with Olivia Crawford, a young female captain who is every bit as intelligent as Holt. Holt also finds himself in a position where he can take advantage of the systemic discrimination that had suppressed him for years and questions if he can, in good conscience, use such an ugly tool to further his own career.
Also, Terry requisitions a brand new top-of-the-line cruiser for himself but then has to deal with a jealous Rosa, Hitchcock, and Scully wanting to use the car themselves.
