History Recap / BrooklynNineNineS6E03TheTattler

* ProtagonistCenteredMorality: Deconstructed. While Gina had good intentions of tattling on Brandon, and her actions made sure Jake never got in any legal or school trouble, it also ruined his reputation in high school. There is also the fact that she inadvertently framed Jake for the tattling and never confessed that it was her ''for over twenty years''. Gina justifies it that Jake would have gotten into a lot of trouble, but Jake has a reason to be angry.

* ToxicFriendInfluence: Brandon Bliss. He persuaded Jake to help him steal a school van and drive to his uncle's cabin and get drunk. The only reason he didn't do it was because someone warned the school of Brandon's plan. It's implied that Jake would have gone through with it if Gina hadn't ratted Bliss out to the school and gotten him suspended. She also reveals that Brandon is absent from the reunion because he's currently serving parole in Delaware.

* PoisonousFriend: Brandon Bliss and his gang were this to Jake. Gina saw this, and so averted it by tattling on Jake for his own good.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: [[InvokedTrope Invoked.]] When Brandon Bliss isn't at the reunion, Jake keeps coming up with all these ideas as to why, such as he's starring in a beer commercial where the plot is that everyone wants to have sex with him. Then, Gina reveals that he's not at the reunion because he got in trouble with the law, went to prison, and is currently out on parole. He's legally not allowed to leave the state of Delaware.

* YourCheatingHeart: Rosa's subplot is kicked off by her dating two people at the same time only to be tagged in their respective social media accounts.

* {{Adorkable}}: Amy, as usual. When Jake accidentally breaks one student's science fair project, Amy's all too happy to fix it, ignoring virtually everything else. Later, Jake says she went to the library to write an unsolicited book report on ''Literature/JaneEyre''.

* NeverLiveItDown: In-universe. Jake repeatedly says that they've all moved on from the days he was known as The Tattler...cut to ''everyone'' at the reunion calling him that and his subsequent FreakOut.

* GeekyTurnOn: Amy gets very excited when she sees that Jake had zero absences during his junior year in high school.
