History Recap / BrooklynNineNineS6E08HeSaidSheSaid

* WrittenInAbsence: Scully leaves after the ColdOpen because Holt requested he take a few days off.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: InUniverse, when Jake finds out that he's being assigned a case involving a wall-street finance broker with a broken penis, he and the rest of the squad think it's hilarious and start coming up with ridiculous scenarios for how it happened. Rosa thinks he got it numbed up with cocaine and hit a croquet ball with it, and Jake thinks he was hit by a goose while urinating out of his car. Then Holt informs them that it was broken by a female coworker who claims he tried to sexually assault her.
-->'''Jake:''' I really wish you had stopped us before we started guessing.\\
'''Holt:''' I'm not responsible for that.

** Against all, odds, Jake and Amy are able to prove that Keri was assaulted, and Seth is fired and faces criminal charges. Unfortunately, all of her co-workers treat her as either a snitch or as a victim, which excludes her from the company's social life and makes career advancement impossible. She ends up deciding to quit, but maintains that [[IRegretNothing she's glad she did the right thing]]. In the final scene, we learn that another woman at the firm was inspired by Keri to come forward with her own allegations. As Rosa sums it up, "Two steps forward, one step back is still one step forward."

* RealityEnsues: Multiple times. When Keri fights off an attacker, he claims that she "went crazy" and attacked him for no reason, and the firm where it happens offers her millions of dollars to drop the case. When she decides to pursue the case anyway, the firm drops the offer, coaches all the other employees not to cooperate, and fires her. The only reason they're ultimately able to prove the assault is because he bragged about it to his buddies, one of whom [[ChronicBackstabbingDisorder turns him in to take his job]]. And even after Keri is proven to be the victim, she's forced to quit her very prominent and high-paying job because it becomes clear her career is going to stall out if she stays there. Jake notes that, however bad he thinks the culture of misogyny is, it's always somehow worse.

* GroinAttack: Keri hit Seth in the groin with a golf club. While mostly PlayedForLaughs, RealityEnsues as Seth is hospitalized and Keri is accused of assault.

* CallingCard: Holt has a theory about piece of string found where the transport van crashed: "It's a yo-yo string, the most dangerous part of the yo-yo. The Strangler wanted me to find this. He's out there, and he's taunting me." Despite Terry and Boyle's skepticism, it turns out to be true.
