'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Season 1, Episode 15: 'Operation: Broken Feather' Recap

NYPD destroys FDNY in a football game.

Peralta has a murder suspect he has been chasing for months stewing in interrogation. However, Major Crimes is sending The Vulture over to take the case. Amy, Terry, Charles and Rosa prepare to commence Operation Broken Feather to stall the Vulture so Jake can get a confession.

Charles starts it off by spilling coffee on The Vulture. It doesn't stop him. Rosa tries to seduce him... again, no go. In an unplanned attack Scully releases tear gas, but nothing can stop him. He bursts in, but Jake has managed to convince his murderer to sign a full confession.

A week later, Jake shows off a picture he framed of himself and Amy with the confession. Amy and Jake talk to Holt about their next case - break-ins and theft at a hotel. They go to the hotel to watch security tapes.

Holt tells the rest of the group their numbers are due the following day, so they need to get as many arrests in the books as possible. An hour later, there aren't many filed. Terry goes to Holt with a system he has designed to identify weak areas in the office. He wants to perform experiements on co-workers to increase their efficiency.

At the hotel, Amy admits to Jake that she was asked to interview for the Major Crimes Division. She could be promoted to working with The Vulture... in Data Analysis. Jake is no longer worried, sure she will reject a desk job.

Terry consults with Holt on his plan. He wants to start by moving the toaster out of sight of Charles (who will turn into a chef if he sees someone using it) and make Rosa "erupt" at her desk near the bathroom, thus keeping those afraid of her from taking as many bathroom breaks. They sabotage her computer and she flips out, scaring everyone off.

Jake tries to make Amy enjoy her field work, which unfortunately takes them dumpster diving. However he tells her she's free to do whatever she wants, when she asks why he wants her to stay. They find the coat of someone impersonating a bellhop and speak with hotel staff, realizing that he is scouting a silent auction for targets.

Terry goes over more problems. Charles has "thin skin" and gets cold, and will wear clothing from the lost and found. Gina will then make fun of him and basically become useless. Terry empties lost and found, but Charles has still found a ridiculous coat. Terry uses a mirror to distract Gina with her own reflection.

Jake borrows a suit and goes up as the auctioneer of the antiquities auction.

The office is becoming more efficient. The arrest files should be completed on time... but Holt is unsatisfied. Terry urges him to quit but Holt wants more.

Jake annoys the guests at the auction so much that Adam Sandler goes on stage and auctions off a chance to put a sock in Jake's mouth. Jake tackles their suspect and inadvertantly, Joe Theissman, breaking Theissman's leg.

Amy and Jake have their perp, at least. Amy tells Jake she is still interviewing for the job, angering him. He calls her a bad partner.

Jake goes back to the office and finds Scully in his desk, forced to move. Jake tells Holt to stop Amy, but Holt knows Amy wants to make Captain one day and he supports her decisions.

Scully, moved to the breakroom, manages to set the toaster on fire. Charles attempts to put it out and sets his fringe jacket on fire. Terry puts him out. Holt wants to keep going and try again, but Gina catches them. She points out that Terry and Holt have been the least productive.

Before her interview, Jake tells Amy that he is sorry and that he supports her. She tells him she already turned down the job. The Vulture comes out to scold Amy, and Jake pulls teargas on him as he and Amy run.
