It returns to the most beloved structure of this sitcom: the heist!

Its an episode that allows its performers to shine with clever, funny, and incredibly fast-paced performances.

Every other scene involves a betrayal, a surprise, a flashback, etc.

It helps that they have finality to ground it.

Its really about two competing agendas to craft the perfect good-bye.

As fans have suspected, he is resigning to be a stay-at-home dad to Mac.

He wants to be there in a way that his father never was for him.

Couldnt he even mention feeling defeated by the flaws of policing in the modern era?

He has a few nice beats here with Melissa Fumero.

Sadly, no Bruce Willis.

Its Caleb, the cannibal that Jake befriended in the two-part season-five premiere, played bySNLvet Tim Meadows.

Hes into embroidery now, but also still into eating people.

Dan Goor, co-creator ofBrooklyn Nine-Nine.

The great Chelsea Peretti returns for the final heist, grabbing the prize and jumping into her armored truck.

The pandemic was tough on those in the nursing-home-seduction industry.

Its not the best use of Mantzoukas, still one of the funniest character actors around.

The action of the heist is emotionally derailed when Charles finds Jakes letter of resignation.

Is it part of the plan?

He runs off, but Jake finds him where they first admitted they were best friends.

A necklace with a mini-binder with the names Amy, Jake, and Mac.

He plays along with Amy for the heist but totally still wants to marry her.

He also gets the wonderfully funny line We were both seduced by the city of Tampa.

Hes now calling himself Jerry, and for some reason the way Armisen chooses to pronounceHonoluluis hysterical.

Instead of the Brooklyn Bridge, it looks like the heist will end at a storage facility.

But it doesnt matter!

Bill has the medal!

He locks them in storage and takes it back to the 9-9.

After Terry Kool-Aid Mans out of the storage unit, they return to the precinct to find Hitchcock!

There are a few nice final beats.

Amy just wants Rosa to be happy, even if that means Rosa doesnt want to settle down.

Theres a cute moment between the two as Rosa says I love you.

Terry and Boyle will stay in the precinct and rely on each other.

Gina stole diamonds from the evidence locker.

Even Hitchcock and Scully get an emotional hug.

Finally, it comes back to Holt and Jake, who get a great final scene.

The genuine smile between them feels like Braugher and Samberg are cherishing their impressive chemistry over the years.

Its late and we have to work tomorrow.

Life will go on at the 99th precinct.

In fact, this wasnt the last heist!

The final scene reveals Terry is the captain, and everyone is coming back for another round!

They cant let Hitchcock be the champion!

My vote goes to Rosa.

Make Pimento a regular.

Scully not realizing his first name is Norm is a funny beat.

Thanks for reading this season!
