Brooklyn Nine-Nine 1x16 "The Party"

Cozner not Costner

Excited by an invite to Capt. Holt's birthday party from his husband, Kevin Cozner, the Nine-Nine does their best to act like civilized normal people at their "first adult party".  Jeffers relayed the rules of an adult party to his cops (No shorts! Bring wine! Educated small talk only!) but it is just too hard for them to obey. Santiago goes on a recon mission throughout Holt's house trying to find information to bond with him, Peralta's goal of the evening is to get on a nickname basis with Kevin (or Kev) by discussing The New Yorker (which he doesn't read), Hitchcock and Scully are mistaken as a gay couple, Gina became a subject for all of Holt's psychologist friends ("She's a complete overlap of ego and id!"), Boyle became cougar bait to another foodie, and, obviously, Jeffers tried and failed to keep any of his group in line ("Don't move as a group! You're not gazelles!").

This craziness ended in a revelation, by Jake no less, that Kevin hates cops--he believes they are all homophobic. Obviously that's not the case with the Nine-Nine, but he is just protective of his husband, who was never respected by cops in the past. It turns out that Holt actually likes his crazy coworkers and wanted them to come to the party--who knew!

Since the precinct ruined Holt and Kev's party, they made it up to them by renting out a popular restaurant for just the two of them, which is what the couple would've preferred in the first place. How nice! Scully even sang for them!

This was probably my favorite episode of the season; how much more fun would your parties be if the Nine-Nine was there?
