On this BROOKLYN NINE-NINE, Boyle's dad and Gina's mom get married! On "Boyle-Linetti Wedding" the entire squad is given a job to fulfill for the ceremony. Unfortunately, Jake and Amy get sidetracked chasing down a criminal and Terry struggles to officiate the wedding. Nick Cannon also returns tonight as Marcus, Rosa's boyfriend. Read on for the full recap! But beware of SPOILERS!
A counterfitter Amy has been tracking has resurfaced, however Gina interrupted her briefing to talk about the wedding of her mother to Charles' father. She needs everything to be perfect, so she asks the precinct to give her updates. Jake is getting the ring, Terry's tux is tighter, and Rosa is dealing the flowers, so, so far so good.
Jake, thanks to Gina's mom, is able to see Jenny, a girl from his past who left him at his middle school dance for another guy, but is finally single after all of these years. Gina's mom's priest dropped out, so Gina asks Terry or Holt to do it. Since Terry is ordained. Jake and Amy go to pick up the ring, but on the way to the wedding, Amy gets news about her counterfitter and asks to check out her lead before the wedding. As Rosa helps Boyle's dad with his cufflinks, he starts to freak out wondering if this marriage will fail like his other FIVE! Amy and Jake see Eddie Minsk, her counterfitter, and go to pursue!
Gina needs some good news, since the caterer accidentally cooked one of the doves. She asks to her Terry's speech, but he starts breaking down while reading it. Gina fires him and gives the speech to Holt. Amy and Jake catch Minsk, and as a reward, Amy tells Jake how she plays french horn. Gina gives more updates, which pretty much is that everything is going wrong. Amy and Jake show up to the wedding, and Jake goes and talks to Jenny. Jenny asks him to sit together, but Gina stops him first to ask for the ring. He realizes he lost it. Uh oh.
Jake and Amy go back to the alley where they caught Minsk to look for the ring. Amy finds it and jokingly puts it on Jake, but it gets stuck on his hand. Back at the wedding, Boyle tells Gina about how his dad is freaking out. Gina goes and talks to him, and tells him to follow his heart, and everything works out. Holt is working on his speech, but so far it is nothing close to emotional. Jake lets Gina know that the ring is stuck on his finger, and Terry pulls it off for him, but as he's doing it Jake sees Jenny kissing another guy: pain on an emotional and physical level.
It's wedding time! Holt sees Kevin and is able to give a great speech. The ceremony goes off without a hitch, and it made Holt realize he wants a real wedding. Marcus congratulates Boyle, who didn't realize he was coming.Rosa tells Marcus she hadn't asked him to the wedding because she was a coward. She then tells him she loves him, and he returns the sentiment. :-) Jake is reliving his middle school dance watching Jenny dance with another man. Amy tries to cheer him up by asking him to dance, with Gina's great aunt Susan.
The Boyle and Linetti families are officially one--with Lynn Boyle taking Darlene's last name! However, the wedding wasn't as outlandish as I expected, coming from these two families. It was full of some sweet moments, though, like Gina helping Lynn out of his panic attack, and Rosa realizing she's been a coward by not inviting Marcus to the wedding. I really liked how Rosa took a chance and told Marcus she loved him, because she usually doesn't show any emotion, let alone love. Speaking of love, it was such a touching moment, watching Holt give his speech. Even sweeter when he admitted it was what he wished was said at his wedding to Kevin. Holt's admission of wanting a real wedding gets me excited for when that day rolls around, since a Holt-Kevin wedding is sure to be...weird.
A lot of emotion on tonight's episode, but the most important of the night was that between Amy and Jake. Since Jake had planned on hooking up with Jenny, he kept asking Amy if she was ok with it. This only led to them discussing their past admissions of feelings for the other. Seeing as though Jake's chances with Jenny were shot, it's only a matter of time that he and Amy get together. They did keep harping on the fact that they both had feelings for each other at some point, and they shared a lot of sweet moments.
