* CoolButImpractical: The renovated break room looks like a fashionable "Swedish airport" but even those responsible for it end up admitting that the furnishings are uncomfortable and the vending machines are frustratingly inaccessible.* DetachableDoorknob: The ColdOpen sees Jake, Terry, and Charles questioning a robbery suspect named Marcos. When Jake goes in to interrogate him, the door handle falls off after it slams shut, locking them both inside the room. The door can't be opened from the outside and requires the precinct's facility services to unlock it. Jake then proceeds to FreakOut and hyperventilate, which unnerves Marcos enough to confess to his robbery, where Jake tries to brush it off as AllAccordingToPlan.
