Jake is finally mature enough to stop thinking of police work as an action movie, and to make a decision that puts others above himself. Holt is able to make a joke (however terrible it was).
911 season finale series#
The real goodbye happens between Jake and Holt, the two pillars of "Brooklyn." The original concept of the series pitted Jake's childish mania against Holt's rigid rule-following, and through the eight years each rubbed off on each other in good ways. Gina maybe steals some diamonds from evidence.
Charles and Terry plan for what the Nine Nine will look like in the future. Jake informs his best friend that he's grown so much in the past eight years, it doesn't matter who his partner is. Amy and Rosa also share a goodbye, with Rosa repeatedly tricking Amy into thinking she is settling down in a relationship. It's only when Jake's plan for the perfect goodbye goes so horribly awry that he finally tells everyone he intends to leave, and appreciates the gravity of his decision.Ĭharles (Joe Lo Truglio) finds out first, and worries that he won't be able to do his job without Jake as his partner. Perennial sad sack Bill (Winston Story) takes part, as he has in the other heists, and grabs the prize at the last minute, selling it to Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) for $40, making everybody's least-favorite detective the ultimate champion. Not every plot thread and character was tied up with a bow, but it was a satisfactory conclusion to eight long years of heists, hilarious cold opens and Jimmy-Jab games.
The finale left that heavy lifting behind and instead focused on the slapstick sense of humor that made the show a cult hit, and the relationships between the characters that made it a critical one. It wasn't perfect (no show possibly could be), but it certainly tried harder and offered more nuance than almost any other cop show on the air.
The short final season of "Brooklyn" balanced the show's goofy, peppy tone with a focus on highlighting the problems in modern policing and discussing race in a post-George Floyd America. The episode also managed to balance sentiment with humor, avoiding the overly explanatory finales of some recent sitcoms (including co-creator Mike Schur's "Parks and Recreation") while still confirming that the folks of the Nine-Nine will be friends forever. The series finale of the long-running Fox and later NBC police station sitcom stayed true to the original spirit of the show while offering a genuinely twisty, hilarious final heist paying tribute to some of the show's best episodes. Was there anyway to end "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" to say goodbye but with a heist? Spoiler alert! The following contains details from the series finale of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine, "The Last Day."
