Jake is excited at the chance to work with Adrian Pimento, a veteran undercover detective who is trying to transition back to traditional police work. Jake, however, soon finds himself genuinely disturbed at the toll long-term undercover work can have on a person's mind. Rosa, on the other hand, finds Pimento extremely attractive.

Meanwhile, Charles makes a huge mess in the break room thanks to a pressure cooker full of goat stew exploding. He, Terry, and Amy have to trek deep into the precinct to try and procure the assistance of Mean Marge.

'''''Adrian Pimento''''' is the seventeenth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s third season.

Jake is excited at the chance to work with Adrian Pimento, a veteran undercover detective who is trying to transition back to traditional police work. Jake, however, soon finds himself genuinely disturbed at the toll long-term undercover work can have on a person's mind. Rosa, on the other hand, finds Pimento extremely attractive.

Meanwhile, Charles makes a huge mess in the break room thanks to a pressure cooker full of goat stew exploding. He, Terry, and Amy have to trek deep into the precinct to try and procure the assistance of Mean Marge.

Also, Holt asks Rosa and Gina to help him make a video to use as an application for a grant to upgrade the Nine-Nine's office equipment. Gina, predictably, hijacks the project to try and make her own magnum opus.

!!This episode provides examples of:

* AlmightyJanitor: The cleaning staff, led by Mean Marge, wield an incredible amount of power. Even Captain Holt is openly afraid of Marge.
* BecomingTheMask: Pimento feels that "Paul Sneed", his cover, is subsuming his real identity.
* DarkerAndEdgier: This episode swerves towards extremely dark elements while still playing everything for laughs. Notable, this is the first episode where blood is shown being spilled.
* SupsiciouslySimilarSubstitute: InUniverse. Due to Holt and Rosa being uncooperative, Gina brings in two doppelgangers to perform in her video.
