Episode Synopsis[]
Charles plans an elaborate scavenger hunt for Jake's bachelor party, but the day goes awry when the guys decide to take some short cuts instead. Meanwhile, Amy's bachelorette party escalates when the ladies realize she previously slept with a member of her soon-to-be wedding band.
Jake has his bachelor party organized by Boyle with the assistance of Terry and Holt while Amy's bachelorette party is organized by her friend Kylie with the assistance of Gina, Rosa, Hitchcock and Scully. Boyle's plan involves an overly-elaborate scavenger hunt, which upsets Jake, Terry and Holt. Boyle is then "kidnapped" and gives the gang instructions for the next 6 hours to find clues around the city.
Finding in Charles' email the final destination, the guys decide to eat and drink in a restaurant during the 6 hours. However, at the destination, Boyle realizes the deception and leaves, upset. Jake asks for help from Reginald VelJohnson, who was chosen by Charles to be part of the clues because of his role in Die Hard, to locate Boyle and they both apologize for their behavior. Jake then offers an apology to an angry VelJohnson, who immediately rejects this by informing Jake that he has made an "enemy for life" and that he plans to tell Jake's idol, (Bruce Willis), that he sucks.
Amy's party turns dull so the gang play Never Have I Ever which causes Hitchcock and Scully to go to the hospital. During the party, Kylie reveals that Jake hired a band whose lead member, Constantine Kane she once dated (and is still in love with her) to perform at their wedding. The women confront him at a bar, where he refuses to cancel his performance unless he's paid a cancellation fee of $15,000. Amy then takes his contract and burns it, breaking the clause.

Cool Cool Cool Things[]
Terry Saying Joe Instead of Charles[]
A topic of debate within the Brookyln Nine-Nine Fandom is whether or not the actor Terry Crews says "Joe," the actor's name, instead of "Charles" when Boyle gets kidnapped. (5:56)
![]() |
Some provide the example of the closed captioning subtitles reading "Joe."
Some provide the example that the line delivered was a variation of the word "yo."
Unfortunately the original Dan Goor Twitter sources haven't stood the test of time and what could be found as of 2024 feed the debate rather than solve it (see above).
