History Recap / BrooklynNineNineS5E09NineNine

** Terry asks where they're going to get fresh clothes after their luggage blew up in the RV. Cut to the Nine-Nine doing a PowerWalk while wearing the Boyles' trademark beige and khaki.

* PowerWalk: Parodied; the squad walking out of the Boyle ranch house is shot like this...but they all look disgusted at having to wear drab Boyle family clothes.

-->'''Jake, mimicking a robot:''' Bovine. Transport. Unit. Meep morp. Zeep.

* BiTheWay: Rosa comes out as bisexual to Charles.

* {{Adorkable}}: Amy's attempts at proving how relaxed, laidback and cool she can be are somehow more dorky than her usual dorky persona.

* InternalReveal: Why was Holt trying to sabotage his own chances of becoming commissioner? Because he feared the deal he made with the Seamus Murphy in the season premiere would cause him to do some unethical decisions. The audience already knew about the deal, but this is the first anyone InUniverse finds out.

* LogoJoke: For the Dr. Goor VanityPlace, instead of the "Shh!" after "Not a doctor", we hear a cow mooing.

* {{Facepalm}}: Amy buries her face in her hand when Jake wants to prove to Terry that learned how to do the worm and starts showing off his dance moves.

'''''99''''' is the ninth episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s fifth season and the show's [[MilestoneCelebration ninety-ninth episode overall]].

* ContinuityNod: The episode begins with the funeral of Captain [=McGinley=], whom Holt replaced as captain of the Nine-Nine in the pilot.
** [[spoiler:Holt uses contractions throughout the episode]] calling back to Episode 5 of this season.

* XanatosSpeedChess: Holt is responsible for most of the distractions that delay the crew's return to New York and spends most of the episode pulling off ultra-quick gambits to counter Jake's plans. He consciously drives past Fox Plaza, knowing that Jake's ''Film/DieHard'' obsession would force them to visit it, then removes the prop from the door so that they're locked in. He claims that there are no car rentals available at the airport, forcing them to rent an RV. He tricks Scully into using the bathroom by suggesting he buy three corn dogs for 99 cents, thus encouraging the others to make pit stops. He sabotages the RV tank by putting cheese puffs inside them (underestimating the flammability of the chemicals they're made of). Finally, he calls a fake tip to the police that the truck they're driving is trafficking drugs; the fact that he referred to the latter as a "bovine transportation unit" is what tips Jake off.

* RunningGag: "Look! It's [background to an incredibly specific event that occurred in ''Film/DieHard'']; take my picture with it!"

* MurphysLaw: The detectives try to get Holt back to New York, but everything that ''can'' go wrong does. Subverted when it turns out Holt was actually invoking this by sabotaging their trip at every turn, and later, Amy's detailed and convoluted plan to get them at the Monday meeting JustInTime goes off without a hitch.

* TheReveal: Why was Holt trying to sabotage his own chances of becoming commissioner? Because he feared the deal he made with the Seamus Murphy in the season premiere would cause him to do some unethical decisions.

* SomethingOnlyTheyWouldSay: When the cattle truck the team is driving is pulled over for suspicion of drugs, Jakes realizes it was Holt because only he would describe the truck as a "grey bovine transport unit".

* AnswerCut: Jake wonders if Charles' Texas cousins wear bolo ties and cowboy hats. Cut to the Boyles wearing plain beige clothing.

* MadeOfExplodium: The artificial chemicals in the cheese puffs are volatile enough to cause the Nine-Nine's RV to catch on fire and eventually explode.

The Nine-Nine travels to Los Angeles to pay their final respects to the recently-deceased Captain [=McGintly=], Holt's overly permissive predecessor. While at the funeral, Holt received bombshell news: he's been short-listed as a candidate to be the next Commissioner of the New York Police Department!
