Last week’s Brooklyn Nine-Nine was hilarious even without my Gina (Chelsea Peretti) having a major role. Jake (Andy Samberg) broke bones during a chase running over cars, when he fell into a car via sunroof. He was forced to take time off to heal, but even then… he still didn’t listen. He tricked Charles (Joe Lo Truglio) into a fake vacation. Terry (Terry Crews) had to come to Atlantic City to yell at him (and help him).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine returns after a one-month hiatus to give us four more belly laugh episodes, before its in-between seasons vacation.

Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) and Diaz (Stephanie Beatriz) were the laugh stars of this episode. The second clip below highlights that. They could not avoid the inevitable double date dinner with their significant others, given that Rosa is dating Holt’s nephew (Nick Cannon) and the Captain’s husband Kevin (Kevin Cozner), is a pleasant normal person. I could swear Rosa and Holt are related by their socially awkward and humorless mannerisms.

Holt (after Rosa leaves the table because of unbearable small talk): “Whew. Good. Take a breather. No one needs to know you have sisters.” Good one, Captain Holt. Deadpan humor is the best.

Charles: “The muggings were confined to Cabot St. They began over two months ago.”
Gina: “Just like this briefing did. Please go to charisma class.”

Sorry. Those were the very first two lines of the episode 2.19 of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. I love that girl. Gina (Chelsea Peretti) is the best character on a show filled with best characters. There is no one who takes a chance on this show that does not love it. If you are not watching it, my question is… why are you trying to destroy your own happiness?

“My mother…shudder…is marrying Charles’s dad…toilet emoji.” Classic Gina (Chelsea Peretti).

Brooklyn Nine-Nine 2.17 “Boyle-Linetti Wedding“ delivers once again, squeezing laughs out of every possible second. Charles (Joe LoTruglio) and Gina will now be step-brother and step-sister, as her mom (Sandra Bernhard) and his dad (Stephen Root) are finally tying the knot. I could end the review right there, but they also manage to put a fresh twist on the classic comedic plot, the-wedding-needs-to-be-perfect-so-everything-almost-goes-wrong!

It’s baaaaccckkk!!!! It’s like when you get that late gift from the relative you didn’t get to see during the holidays, who had that one lonely present sitting under their tree or menorah for you? Then you manage to catch up with them in January, and bam! – another gift! That’s what the return of Brooklyn Nine-Nine feels like.

We had to suffer an entire 21 days without the FOX television series during the holiday hiatus, but it was worth the wait. A few spoilers as we catch up on where we last left off with the 99 gang….
