This story arc allows for the graduation of Diaz from cartoon to a real person as she shows a softer side in coaxing Boyle to ask her out. Gina also uses Carlene to further convince Boyle he has no shot with Diaz, and, despite Diaz’s numerous attempts to refute Carlene’s future vision, Boyle remains resigned to his gloomy fate.
BROOKLYN NINE NINE THE TAGGER FULL EPISODE SERIES
Together, they provoke the deputy commissioner and create the series’ first long-term conflict, which is a welcome addition to a series whose pilot seemed to suggest exclusively single-episode plots, romances aside.Įlsewhere in the office, Detectives Diaz, Santiago and Boyle quickly execute a drug bust with the help of Gina’s psychic friend, Carlene, who also sells discount footwear. His nagging desire to appease and earn the respect of his captain, however, leads to Peralta making the arrest alongside Holt. When the deputy commissioner comes to acquire his son, Peralta initially believes the decision has been taken out of his hands, and he will not have to make a choice. The commanding officer recommends that Peralta make the arrest, but places the decision firmly in his hands, thereby forcing Peralta’s slow ascent to accountability and professionalism.

Peralta’s misfortune plays to the audience’s benefit, though, as it provides Holt’s first significant teaching moment in his mission to civilize Peralta. Unfortunately for Holt and Peralta, the penis painting perpetrator turns out to be the son of the deputy commissioner, which leaves Peralta in a sticky, damned-if-you-do, damned-if-you-don’t predicament.
BROOKLYN NINE NINE THE TAGGER FULL EPISODE TRIAL
After a series of snot-nosed remarks in which he fabricates a name and claims to be a 610-year-old Highlander, Peralta eventually discovers that his prints are on file and establishes his true identity, thus saving him from trial as an adult in a Highlander court and subsequent beheading. Holt apprehends the suspect, and Peralta brings him in for questioning. As was established in the first episode, very little screentime is committed to the stakeout, and, in fact, the hoodlum begins tagging their undercover minivan almost immediately after Peralta finishes explaining how man-sandals complete his disguise. Their first assignment is to track a vandal who has been tagging police vehicles with enormous, pink-spray paint penises. Holt, despite being too old for this shit, informs Detective Peralta that they will be sharing a squad car until Peralta stops cutting corners in his police work. Perhaps it is too wishful to think that the writers included this as a self-referential nod to the series’ progression, but it is nonetheless a fitting description.
