Ep 5. Debbie

Debbie is an episode from the seventh season of the television show Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Set in the 99th precinct of the NYPD in Brooklyn, the show focuses on the lives and cases of the detectives working there.

In Debbie, the detectives of the 99 are trying to track down a dangerous and elusive drug dealer who is known as "The Vulture." The Vulture has managed to evade arrest for years, and the detectives see him as a major threat to public safety.

As the episode begins, we see that the squad is frustrated with their inability to catch The Vulture. But then, a lead comes in from an unexpected source – a woman named Debbie who claims to have information about the drug dealer. The catch? Debbie is already in prison, and she wants a favor from the detectives in exchange for her tip.

The detectives are cautious about working with a prisoner, but they also see an opportunity to finally catch The Vulture. They decide to take Debbie up on her offer and set out to help her with her problem – getting a new kidney.

Debbie is on the waitlist for a new kidney, but she is low priority because of her criminal record. She asks the detectives to help her find a way to move up the list so she can get a transplant before it's too late. This leads the team to a series of strange and comical situations, including a visit to a shady organ broker and a trip to a hospital where the transplant list is being manipulated for profit.

As the detectives work to help Debbie, they also continue to pursue their investigation into The Vulture. They follow up on leads and chase down suspects, always keeping their eyes peeled for any sign of the dangerous criminal.

Throughout the episode, the characters' personalities and quirks shine through. Jake Peralta, the protagonist, is his usual goofy and impulsive self, but we also see his softer side as he bonds with Debbie over shared childhood experiences. Amy Santiago, Jake's girlfriend, is steadfast and focused, using her intelligence and organizational skills to help the team. Terry Jeffords, the muscle of the squad, is a calming presence who provides much-needed support and encouragement to his teammates.

As the episode comes to a close, the detectives make progress on both their investigation into The Vulture and their quest to help Debbie. The plot twists and turns keep the audience on their toes, and the comedic moments provide humor and levity amidst the drama.

Overall, Debbie is a strong episode in the seventh season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It showcases the strengths of the show – its clever writing, dynamic characters, and ability to balance humor and drama – while also advancing the ongoing storylines of the show. Fans of the show will enjoy this installment, and newcomers will be drawn in by the compelling plot and memorable characters.
