In Brooklyn Nine-Nine's season 6 episode 11, titled "The Therapist," the Nine-Nine is thrown into chaos when employee evaluations come around. Jake is worried about his evaluation and brings in an outside consultant, Gina's mother, to help him with his anxiety. Meanwhile, Holt informs the squad that one of their own will be transferred to a new precinct soon.
As the squad members reflect on their own unique skillsets, they begin to become competitive and anxious about who may be selected to leave. Terry worries about his image and reliability, Amy is worried about her obsessiveness, and Rosa fears her short-temperedness will lead to her dismissal.
During the consultation with Gina's mother, played by Sandra Bernhard, Jake begins to suspect that she may not be a licensed therapist. Meanwhile, Boyle and Rosa attempt to make an arrest and discover they have very different tactics. Terry and Holt bond over their mutual love of tea.
As the evaluation day arrives, the squad members are all on edge. Some of them have family members in the audience, including Kevin, who is there to support Holt. The precinct's commanding officer, who has to make the tough decision about who will be transferred, also shows up.
In the end, the evaluation process doesn't go exactly as planned, leading to some surprising twists and turns for the precinct. As always, the squad members find a way to pull together and support each other through whatever challenges come their way.
Overall, "The Therapist" is a fun and sometimes tense episode that explores the anxieties and fears that can come with evaluations in the workplace. With its characteristic blend of humor, heart, and action, Brooklyn Nine-Nine delivers another solid entry that fans of the show are sure to enjoy.
