History Recap / BrooklynNineNineS2E01Undercover

* RefugeInAudacity: Diaz is completely fed up with Holt and Jeffords's drills and Jeffords's commitment to staying in character as a bratty seven year-old so she decides to go big and rent a bouncy castle for her, Jeffords, and Santiago to play in. It's successful in getting Jeffords to stop throwing tantrums and they'd have gotten away with it had their bouncing not caused the precinct house to start shaking.

'''Diaz:''' I agree. With the stuff about the drills, [[WhatTheHellHero not the spineless ass-kissing.]]

* DressesTheSame: Shown in flashback. One of the office highlights is that Amy Santiago and Charles Boyle wore the same outfit to work one day (it was a grey pantsuit and salmon shirt).

Jake's undercover assignment for the episode comes to an end with a large [=RICO=] bust. He returns to the [=NYPD=] but soon goes undercover again when it's discovered that some mobsters slipped through the net.

Meanwhile, Amy and Rosa are forced to deal with Terry and Holt putting them through constant drills and Gina tries to keep Charles silent about their tryst from the previous season.

-->'''Jake''': Freddy's like the worst out of all those guys! Extortion, terrible breath, murder...I put terrible breath too high on that list.
* BedmateReveal: Once again, Charles and Gina end up sleeping together and screaming in horror the morning after.
* GreenEyedMonster: Charles gets ''very'' jealous of Jake's "Mafia best friend" Derek. Despite the fact that Derek was by no stretch of the imagination a friend of Jake's, Mafia or otherwise.
* HeadphonesEqualIsolation: Rosa tells Jake while he's away that Captain Holt banned headphones in the office after the "Gina Incident", where Gina is wearing headphones and dancing, unaware that half a dozen cops are trying to subdue a criminal behind her.
* MethodActing: In-universe and played for laughs. Terry refuses to break character during the drills Amy and Rosa have to go through, be it his having to pretend to be an old woman, a young boy, or a backpack ticking away in a corner.
* RealityIsUnrealistic: In-universe, Terry notes that the script Hold provided him for the lost child drill contains lines that are too eloquent for the average seven year-old. Holt reveals that the lines were taken verbatim from his own diary. In Terry's defence, Holt was apparently far from the average seven year-old.

* RefugeInAudacity: Rosa is completely fed up with Holt and Terry's drills and Terry's commitment to staying in character as a bratty seven year-old so she decides to go big and rent a bouncy castle for her, Terry, and Amy to play in. It's successful in getting Terry to stop throwing tantrums and they'd have gotten away with it had their bouncing not caused the precinct house to start shaking.
* YesMan: When 'complaining' about the drills to Holt, Amy manages to do a complete 180-degree turn in her views over the course of a single sentence.
-->'''Amy:''' Captain, I hate to be harsh, but I think these drills are slightly unnecessary, possibly, although you are the boss and your judgement is impeccable, so I guess what I am trying to say is thank you.\\
'''Rosa:''' I agree. With the stuff about the drills, [[WhatTheHellHero not the spineless ass-kissing.]]
