* DoubleMeaningTitle: Although the title talks about the killer cutting out hearts (and Caleb being a sicko who can help them with the investigation), the title also could also imply Kelly and his blatantly illegal and unconstitutional surveillance plan.

* ComicallyMissingThePoint: When Commissioner Kelly asks the Nine-Nine if they know what a "Stingray" is, Charles responds with "Of course we do, Tenderest meat in the ocean."
* MoralEventHorizon: In-Universe example. Commissioner Kelly reveals that he's using a "Stingray," a portable cell tower that can pull the text messages, location history, voicemails, etc... off of any cellphone within range, and the essentially "laundering" the information through an app called "Hot Clues." This is not just illegal, but blatantly unconstitutional. This is what spurs the Nine-Nine into direct action against John Kelly.
* ReassignedToAntarctica: Terry is going to be reassigned to Staten Island, which the other characters dismissively consider barely to be in New York City. In RealLife, Staten Island is regarded as the NYPD's dumping ground for undesirable cops.

"Sicko" is the seventeenth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s sixth season and aired back-to-back with "Suicide Squad" as a two-part season finale.
A serial killer is on the loose in Brooklyn and Jake is more than excited to take on the case. Holt, however, is under immense stress due to the fact that Commissioner Kelly has taken a personal interest in this case and is putting pressure on Jake, Charles, and Holt to take advantage of "Hot Clues", a tip app that he'd like to be more widely adopted.
Meanwhile, Terry is upset to learn that the Nine-Nine's budget isn't large enough to accommodate his higher salary once he gets promoted to lieutenant and that he'll have to take a post with the One-Two-Two on Staten Island. Amy and Rosa suggest that Terry convince "Broadway Brian" in the Nine-Nine's records room to quit and pursue his dream of starring in musical theater as a way to free up money in the budget. Terry soon regrets his decision when it turns out that Brian is actually an awful singer and even worse dancer.
