* HumiliationConga: Jake does a ''lot'' of work for nothing.
** When the rest of the squad demands that Jake pay them ''all'' back, Jake offers to work off the debt, instead of taking back the money Terry needs or revealing that Terry is having a third child. After Jake has finished, he accidentally sends an email revealing the secret to everyone.
** To prevent Terry from finding out he revealed the secret, Jake has to distract Terry while the others hack his email. Jake does this by working out with Terry until he collapses... only for Holt to enter, and reveal that everyone knew Terry was having a third child, as noone had informed Holt it was a secret.

** Holt still doesn't have much interest in food beyond simple nutrition. His idea of stakeout food is a flavorless "Nutrition Brick" (though to be fair, he had original no flavor and wholewheat no flavor bricks to choose from).

'''''Payback''''' is the thriteenth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s second season.

Terry is suddenly riding Jake hard to get back the thousands of dollars Jake owes him. Jake realizes that it's because Terry is expecting another baby and is facing mounting expenses so he happily repays a good chunk of his debt, only to be caught doing so by the other detectives. Sworn to keep the pregnancy a secret (because doing so puts him in the running to be a godfather), Jake ties himself in knots trying to repay his other debts through favors.

Amy is ecstatic about being able to partner up with Captain Holt while reinvestigating one of his old arson cases. The day seems to go exactly as she'd hoped, but then things take a turn for the worse.

----
!!This episode provides examples of:

* AwesomeByAnalysis: Jake once again shows that he is a top-notch detective by deducing that Terry is expecting a third child just through little clues, starting with the fact that Terry's been visiting the "dentist" more often than normal.
* BriefcaseFullOfMoney: Jake gives Terry $1200.00 this way because he thought it'd be cool. The sum has to be given in singles, though, because it actually takes ''a lot'' of cash to fill a briefcase.
* CallBack:
** Terry is expecting another kid because Jake made him realize he didn't really want a vasectomy. Also, Jake still doesn't have any idea what a vasectomy actually is.
** Savant, the hacker from the first season, is still around the Nine Nine as the precinct's IT guy.
** Holt still doesn't have much interest in food beyond simple nutrition. His idea of stakeout food is a flavorless "Nutrition Brick" (though to be fair, he had original no flavor and wholewheat no flavor bricks to choose from).
* MundaneMadeAwesome: Only a show like this can turn a desperate search for a private bathroom into an epic driving scene.
* RealityEnsues: Amy is loving being able to work a case with Holt while drinking bad coffee and eating "street meat". Unfortunately, Holt's digestive system reacts in the way many do when dealing with food from dubious sources.
