#BROOKLYN NINE NINE SEASON 8 FULL#
Our hearts swelled as we learned that Holt was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of Police Reform, and he promoted Amy to Chief, bringing both their character arcs full circle.

While they never had the same screentime Jake and Amy did, they were in our hearts all the same.Īnd it is a good thing Holt changes his mind about retirement since his police reform project with Amy proves to be a success - giving both him and Amy a promotion they worked toward their entire careers. "Renewal" is a beautiful episode that certainly pays tribute to Holt and Kevin's relationship. We had the privilege of seeing Holt use Jake's tactics to go undercover, something that kept us laughing long after the scene was over.Īnd we also got to see Holt and Jake have a heart-to-heart over Holt's retirement plans. : Why did you lead with the salad forks?!.Jake: Why did you lead with the salad forks?! No, the big surprise is I'm retiring from the NYPD. Jake: Wait, let me guess - you're getting bread plates? Now I don't even want to tell you the other surprise I have in store for Kevin. Holt: We got the salad forks! Can you believe it, a second fork?! Who do we think we are?! Oh no, you're shocked at how garish it is. Holt: This time, we're pulling out all the stops it will be a truly extravagant affair.Ĭharles: Oh, how extravagant are we talking? Champagne pyramid? And what better way to do so than to prove O'Sullivan tried to sabotage Amy and Holt's police reform project? But the news still hit us hard, and the precinct would not be the same without him.īesides, "Renewal" gives us a long-awaited storyline - Holt and Jake going undercover together. Ever since he ran for commissioner on Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 5, it was clear Holt was looking for something more. While his decision comes as a shock, it is not surprising. But beforehand, Holt drops a bombshell - he plans to retire from the NYPD. Holt and Kevin's reunion leads to their vow renewal ceremony. It was not as funny as the Boyles, but it did result in what we have been waiting for all season - Holt and Kevin's reunion.Īnd what could be better than the most practical couple getting back together through a rain kiss? It is a classic and cheesy romantic moment, but Holt and Kevin deserve nothing less than the best. While Jake, Terry, and Charles deal with the Boyles, Rosa and Amy attempt to reunite Holt and Kevin once and for all. : Time flies when God pulls down his pants and takes a dump on your life.Well, you know what they say - time flies when God pulls down his pants and takes a dump on your life. He may not be a Boyle by blood, but he's a Boyle by heart and soul, and that counts far more than blood and biology ever could. We are not surprised to learn that the Boyles have their own version of Excalibur, and nothing was as satisfying as watching Charles open that jar.

And Charles proves himself when he opens the old Boyle Family Jar - a jar that has been sealed shut for decades.
