Then, wanting her to do an about-face and leave town again, he took Gina’s ill-conceived advice to fight drama with drama, which begat several amusing line deliveries (“Everything in my life is a hot mess right now,” Holt told Debbie in a semi-stilted manner). First, Holt rebuffed her attempts at bonding in front of his underlings, denying her claims that he was “fun” as a child. In truth, she wasn’t any more difficult than the messes he cleans up in the precinct every week (would love to see Holt mediate that fight between Debbie and her trainer of a stolen-but-not-really hairbrush), but her drama was magnified through his distorted lens of pathological stoicism. While our buttoned-up exec captain’s ex-boyfriend Frederick (Nick Offerman) was introduced as a foil with a similar temperament, Debbie was much more of an “I-can’t-even” emotional force. Kim.While Jake ran around the ship with his two lovers, Holt sought solace in seltzer as his sister, Hurricane Debbie ( played by Niecy Nash, another great comedic force), blew into town for a six-week visit. “I’m here for you,” Kim tells Holt, “because you’re my hero.” Yikes! Never meet your heroes, Capt. It proves she didn’t know Wuntsch, and the latter felt her joining the Nine-Nine was idiocy. The whole thing culminates in a group meeting where, at Kim’s request, Boyle reads the email Jake found aloud. Gone By Next WeekĪfter that, the jig is up. But before he can click on it, a Pitbull charges at him… and then around him, and down the stairs to where the food is located. He makes his way up to the room and lets himself in, then finds an email labeled “Raymond Holt” in Kim’s inbox. Kim runs over, concerned, and while she attends to Holt, Jake takes the key. This task falls to Holt, who flunks it twice - raising the volume of his voice “nine percent” isn’t getting the job done - but on the third try, he throws himself down the stairs. Of course, because the key’s in her pocket, they have to cause a scene. “Looks like we just found the key to exposing Captain Kim,” Jake smirks.
Although Amy stops them a few times and they’re almost caught by Kim, they get a lead when they watch her check a locked door and put the key in her pocket. They’re so fixated on this plan that while they attend a party Kim’s throwing at her house, they search tirelessly for anything even slightly shady. Jake and Holt are dead set on finding evidence that Kim and Wuntsch are in cahoots.

He tells his pals that the form to transfer Kim came through Wuntsch, so the new captain (might have) lied to them.įrom Captain Holt to Toni Topaz, we can't help but admire these TV fixtures. She’s excited about Terry (Terry Crews)’s kids and Amy’s organizational skills, and she offers Jake his second-best dream job.
Jake’s game plan is to have everyone get dirt on Kim during their one-on-one sessions with her he thinks she’ll slip up and reveal her true intentions. “When people seem too good to be true, they are,” he says. Amy (Melissa Fumero) likes her, but Jake’s not buying a word of it. She says she’s never spoken to Wuntsch, she’s the first Asian-American captain in the NYPD and her “guilty pleasure is charity work.” Heaping more selflessness onto her expressed goodwill, she says once Holt’s year in uniform is done, she’ll move on. But Holt and Jake are convinced she’s hiding something, and, as one might imagine, their attempts to dig up dirt on her land them both in a pit of chaos and hurt.įrom the moment Captain Kim enters the precinct, she has an aura of suspicious perfection.
That’s a goal easier spoken than fulfilled, mostly because Holt’s replacement appears to be a total sweetheart. Jake swears he’ll have the new guy or gal gone by next week. He’s no longer captain, but if Jake (Andy Samberg) has anything to say about it, that’ll be a temporary state of affairs. It’s that brand of lovable weirdness that the group is trying to restore to command in Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s second episode on its Season 7 premiere night, “Captain Kim.” To briefly recap, at the end of last season, Wuntsch (Kyra Sedgwick) demoted the Nine-Nine’s stalwart leader. Jake's having trouble working with Holt, Holt's having trouble working with Jake, and Amy's struggling with an unexpected dilemma.
