I could hear someone coming but will still jump when I see them. 

It’s not being scared though, its like getting a jumpscare. 

Whenever zoo’s tried to put lions and tigers in the same enclosures, the lioness would eventually try to groom the tiger and play constantly. The Tiger would lose patience and snaps at them

So basically what I’m saying is that you have a regal and refined gf who stands at the edge of a balcony during parties, sipping champagne

I’ll be blunt: this is not my favorite Brooklyn Nine Nine episode. That’s not to say I didn’t enjoy it. There’s a lot of fun and sweet moments in this episode, especially in the Rosa-Holt subplot. While the Terry-Amy subplot doesn’t seem necessary, I love the sight gag of the whole precinct covered in colorful flyers about the book being accidentally delivered to Terry. And Jake ends in a good place, and his movie-fueled perceptions are wholly in line with who he is, and letting go of them near the end is great.

The show has always seemed pro-therapy to me, and that’s held up here. The episode begins with both Terry and Charles talking about how positive therapy has been for them, and the show makes clear throughout that this is about Jake’s issues with therapy, not something worse. The fact that the episode ends with Jake saying that he is actually going to call a therapist is promising. As I mentioned in a different post, I hope this is a thread they continue exploring. Throughout the series, and even earlier this season, Jake has made comments about not needing therapy or thinking it’s a scam. Now that we, alongside Jake, understand where this comes from, I think it’s important that we see this through.

The thing that’s really dragging this episode down for me is Jake’s scene in the therapist’s office, where he stalls, waiting for Dr. Tate to leave, by pretending to have multiple personality disorder. It just really put a bad feeling in my stomach to watch that. Jake is smart enough to have found a different way around that. He could’ve just explained the situation to her, or pretended to be a different new patient. He didn’t have to pretend to be this patient who is presumably seriously struggling with multiple personalities. It would’ve been nice for the therapist to at least call him out on it. 

So you actually blame yourself for your parents’ divorce? No, I blame the therapy, which we only had to do because I-  oh, my god. I do blame myself.
