Balancing

Jake has the opportunity to catch a serial killer but Amy has a presentation to do. That was ridiculous. The other things in the episode were pretty decent though. Holt not over his breakup is a good subplot.

The starting episode of this season was a disaster. That felt like something forced. It felt like it was designed to fulfill political as well as communal agendas. Thank god they moved away from that. Now they landed this episode 4, which is to me one of the funniest and one of the best episodes of B99. This episode reminded me why I started to love B99 in the first place. I will definitely miss this comedy masterpiece once its over.

This episode was amazing. The best part was seeing Jake and Amy parent for the first time in the show. Seeing them do parent things like picking up these kid from daycare, them getting little sleep, their kid getting lice, and Jake sacrificing a case at work to take care of his kid. It was just so cool to watch and it really puts into perspective how far this show has come. This episode was also funny, especially with Captain Holt living with Rosa, and them needing to go to Kevin's house. It was hilarious.

This was a great episode, I can't wait for next week!

I like the way they explored the dynamic of Amy and Peralta's relationship but it could've gone better. Holt and Rosa wasn't horrible but like, why. Very average episode.

I don't know what has happened to the writing here. I think making Jake and Amy parents was not great writing but what makes it worse is bringing the child into episode as a hurdle all the time. No one cares to see Amy and Jake as parents and worse be dragged down by their child. We know it's all not real and not necessary. We grew fond of the quirky characters and comedy in the precinct, this made the show great. We couldn't care less and don't need to see Jake and Amy pretending to be parents. We know what being an adult looks like so screen time does not need to be wasted on this futile story. I wonder if the writers went on a strike. Otherwise this is lazy writing. Even the jokes were not great between Amy and Jake. A weak and disappointing episode.
