Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5, episode 18 recap: Cheddar has standards!

Jake and the gang were back in Brooklyn Nine-Nine season 5, episode 18 and a familiar face returned even crazier than ever!

The Nine-Nine were back in another Brooklyn Nine-Nine adventure. Jake and Boyle ran into a familiar face, Amy and Rosa take down a perp like Wonder Woman, and Captain Holt learns the value of social media with the help of Terry and Gina.

Oh, and Cheddar is one fine looking dog.

Jake, Boyle and a Pimento

Jake learns what being in the food truck industry is like as Boyle takes him on a Mad Max-style race for the best parking spot in town. It’s a competitive business that brings out the worst in Boyle who openly admits to Jake that he is seriously regretting getting into. Not only does it bring out the worst in him, he hardly sees his family. He is also getting a ton of debt. Thankfully, his food truck is burned down and the insurance money could be his saving grace. There’s just one problem, Adrian Pimento.

Pimento is back from Alaska, after killing an endangered Buffalo and headbutting a bear in the penis and pushing it over a cliff. It was time for him to return to New York and become an insurance investigator.

Suspecting Boyle of committing arson, Jake, Boyle, and Pimento investigate the cause of the fire. It gets too personal for Pimento however as he so learns that a lot has happened since he and Rosa broke up and no one bothered to keep him up to date. So it wasn’t surprising that he denied Boyle’s insurance claim the moment he could.

Jake and Boyle try to have the decision overturned by complaining to the insurance company. They are more than happy to help with the complaint. Looking for any excuse to fire Pimento, he loses his job but the decision of rejecting Boyle’s claim still stands.

But, the firing of Pimento reminds Boyle of a key moment. He fired one of his employs. Badly. He had motive and the means as he never returned his key. An investigation into him turns up all the evidence they need to prove it was him and to get the insurance company to pay out. Boyle is free from the food truck industry.

Amy and Rosa kick butt

Amy is still adjusting to her new role as a uniformed sergeant. Desperate to prove that she is capable to do the job, she doesn’t want anyone to get the wrong impression or think she is weak in any way. Because of this, she is having a problem trying to find the perfect wedding dress.

Rosa thinks this is pretty dumb, which it is, and while they are both on patrol she forces Amy to take her break and go try on the wedding dress that she has been eyeing up in the window.

Amy only manages to try the first dress on when a call comes in. A perp is fleeing the scene of the crime and Amy and Rosa are the two closest officers in the area. So they both do the best thing possible, chase him down and arrest him. Amy still wearing a wedding dress and Rosa in a bridesmaid dress.

Terry and Gina try to coach Holt in Social Media

Captain Holt is still up for police commissioner but competition is getting fierce. Especially from one officer, who has been using Twitter to her advantage. Terry and Gina are trying to teach Holt the importance of Twitter but he is reluctant. The whole thing is stupid in his eyes.

Terry and Gina try to do it for him by using Cheddar the dog as a way to get people hooked. Dressing him in funny shorts and hats is the plan but Holt is furious. Cheddar has standards!

Holt does have a go himself. He sets up his own account using hexadecimal numbers to spell his name. He gets blocked as Twitter thinks he is a bot.

In the end, it doesn’t matter. Another candidate who tried using social media made things worse, he shared a link to his favorite porn site. Holt gives up on the idea of using Twitter to help his campaign. But he isn’t giving social media up altogether. Cheddar now has an Instagram account and an insane amount of followers.
