Episode Synopsis

Now that he's officially back at the precinct and desperate to solve a real case, Jake finds a loophole to get out of his temporarily designated desk duty. Unfortunately, that loophole rests on his ability to pass an official evaluation performed by Holt. While Charles Boyle provides Jake with moral support, Terry and Amy help Rosa, who believes Adrian Pimento may be cheating on her.


  • In the European Spanish dub, since the characters are already speaking Spanish, Pimento is instead seeing a tutor in order to practice his accent to impress Rosa's father.
  • Buzzfeed actually had a quiz about what kind of onion you are
  • Jake’s personal lord and savior is the basketball player Steph Curry
    • Andy Samberg is a devout fan of the basketball player Steph Curry, who plays for the Golden State Warriors
  • Lil Wayne
