At their 20th High School reunion, Jake learns the truth about his past nickname while Gina realizes a life-changing moment  Here's a recap!

As Jake and Gina head to their 20th high school reunion, dressing up like they would have back then, But when Jake, Gina, and Amy get there, everyone one brings up the story of Jake being the tattler. After many, many encounters with former classmates, Jake and Amy got to the bottom of things and figured out who was the one that made him the tattler. As Amy got a name, Jake talks him but learns that it really wasn't him. It was Gina.

As Gina tells everyone about what she's been doing with her life from making Marvel movies to developing a new app for baby called Todddddler that's like grinder but for babies for playdates.  But as Jake interferes with her story, Gina confesses to Jake about why she did what she did to make him the tattler. She did it to protect him from what would have become a bad situation because the guy that nickname Jake was in jail.

But later after things were fixed, Gina and Jake had a sit-down and chat. During that chat, Gina thinks of leaving the 99 to pursue her interest and Jake, of being the friend that he is, ordered her to leave the 99.

Meanwhile, Holt gets pulled into Terry, Hitchcock, Scully trying to figure out the sound for a radio contest. With Holt thinking that it's not productive, turns out he got into it when he thinks the sound id from a yogurt cup being opened. But turns out it wasn't it and it was potato chip bag. After that Holt admitted to having a lot of fun and began to listen with Terry and others listening to the next contest sound. 

"The Tattler" was a very good episode. I loved the Jake and Gina storyline as it was brilliant but also had that feeling near the end that this was going to be the beginning of the end of Gina. It wasn't too pushy but so organic in developing the character. It also gives me another reason not to go to high school reunions. Also, I couldn't get enough of Holt thinking that what Terry and others were not productive and quickly gets into it. Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

You can catch Brooklyn Nine-Nine Thursdays at 9/8c on NBC.
