Plot
Holt finishes a morning briefing when he remembers to read a note given to him by Jake. Struggling to read Jake's handwriting he reads out "Ask if anyone has an analment" as Jake and Amy walk in together. Jake corrects Holt, saying that the word is announcement and that they have one: Amy's pregnant. The response is lackluster as everyone basically agrees with their statement.
Jake and Amy are upset with the lack of excitement, and Boyle not even fainting. Terry explains that they all figured it out, since they didn't hide it very well. Flashbacks show Terry asking Amy why she was holding a large box in front of her stomach and her saying "I just love this box!". The same happens with a newspaper and Holt and a hazmat suit with Rosa. While they understand, Jake says that they still don't know that it's twins and Boyle passes out immediately. He then admits that's lie and he just wanted to see Boyle faint.
