** Gina also described the bet to Holt in a manner that it seemed Jake wanted to seduce Amy, saying Jake guaranteed the date will end in sex. Here it is established that Jake only wants to embarrass Amy and wants to take her to her worst date ever, even telling her not to fall in love with him. Although, this being [[SelfServingMemory Gina]], it can be [[{{Handwave}} handwaved]] that she remembers it that way.

** Actively invoked and taken UpToEleven; Jake deliberately plans the worst possible date for Amy, ostensibly as an elaborate prank. Boyle points out that the amount of effort he put into it makes it painfully obvious that he likes her, despite his protests to the contrary. In the end, the date gets cut short when they're called on a stakeout, and end up actually having a good time.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: A drugged-up Boyle finds Rosa at the party, seeing how she's been avoiding him. He tells her that he didn't save her because of his crush; he had only seen that the perp was shooting at one of the cops, and would have done it for anyone on his team. What's more, Boyle apologizes to Rosa for making her uncomfortable about him saving her life. Rosa is touched and relieved.
