Following the events of the previous two episodes time skips to two months after Jake Peralta and Rosa Diaz were arrested for robbing a bank and stealing $26 million.

Behind the Scenes[]
- In one of the first scripts at the end of the episode, Andy Samberg had his eyes closed, and said, “And now I wake up… And now I wake up.” Then it went to black.
- Another version was him waking up in jail.[1] Dan Goor said it could've been confusing and that he didn't want anyone thinking it was a dream.
- The line of Andy Samberg saying, “Cool, cool, cool" at the end after the verdict came up on set. Andy Samberg did something that seems physically impossible where he seemed to say “Cool,” two times at one time, three times in a row.[1]
- Andy Samberg and Stephanie Beatriz loved doing stories together, so they were really into the Rosa-Jakeness of it. They liked how dark it was, and it felt like something they could sink their teeth into.[1]
