Hoot! Hoot!!: Brooklyn Nine-Nine "Honeymoon" Season Premiere


Brooklyn Nine-Nine is back and the season premiere doesn't miss a beat! Here's a recap!

We pick up right where we left in season 5 finale, Holt is about to make his good news announcement until he realizes that he was not going to get the commissioner spot. But Jake, who didn't learn of the news to go get his boom box to celebrate, starts dancing to celebrate's Holt's announcement.

As Jake and Amy go on their honeymoon to Mexico, they see that Holt is there too. He not only is getting away from the Nine-Nine but also making Jake and Amy's honeymoon a real bummer. Holt complains and complains to them about why it shouldn't be this guy and what's wrong with him while wearing funny vacation t-shirts.

But just as Holt decides to leave, Jake learns that he's gonna quit his job. Jake drags him back to his room while Amy is dressed up as Bonnie Bedelia from Die Hard. Using Charlie's gift, they tie Holt to the bed with rose petals all over and try to convince him that he should stay at the Nine-Nine. That was until Amy was done hooting to her mentor and gives it to him straight that really got him to reconsider and went back to work.

Meanwhile, at the Nine-Nine, Rosa asked Terry for advice about a case that she's been working on that but waste management is getting in the way. Terry gives his Top Dog Terry advice but all options didn't work. Trying to look for Holt's manual for answers, he finally gets it from Rosa who got it from Gina that was holding it. Terry learns that Holt trusts him for his decision making. Also, Charlies is upset that Gina's mom is divorcing his father and tries to figure out why. When he sneaks into Gina's phone, he sees that she advised her mother to do it. Gina explains that she did it because her mother was cheating on his father.

A week later Jake and Amy return to the Nine-Nine and run into Holt, who thanked them. But also to tell them that the Nine-Nine will be sharing floors with homicide. Oh boy!

"Honeymoon" was an excellent episode premiere. The show never missed a beat and even was probably better than what they were when they were on FOX. Amazing performance from the ensemble cast and even the writing was as strong too. I enjoy a lot of the threesome of Amy, Jake, and Holt in Mexico that was just hilarious. Also, I think the move of the Nine-Nine to share with Homicide was a spoof of the show moving from FOX to NBC.  Overall, I give this episode a 9/10.

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