The Slump
"The Slump" is the third episode of the first season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It is the 3rd overall episode of the series and is written by co-producer Prentice Penny and directed by Julie Anne Robinson. It aired on Fox in the United States on October 1, 2013.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is an immature yet very talented detective in the precinct with an astounding record of crimes solved, putting him in a competition with fellow detective Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero). The precinct's status changes when the Captain is retiring and a new commanding officer, Cpt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) is appointed as the newest Captain. This puts a conflict between Jake and Holt for their respective methods in the field.
The episode was seen by an estimated 3.43 million household viewers and gained a 1.4/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast's performance but some felt mixed with the episode's plot.
In the cold open, the squad debates what the best cop movie of all time is before watching archive footage of Hitchcock being attacked and robbed by a hooker.
Jake (Andy Samberg) has a lot of unsolved cases on his plate, and the other detectives are unwilling to let his losing streak rub off on them. His case of a couple trying to find their missing grandmother gets put on hold after Jake ends up bringing in an old lady who has vision and memory problems.
To get a finished case sooner to break his "slump", Jake swaps one of his cases for a seemingly easier one from Hitchcock. However he ends up running into another dead end in the new case while the case he gave Hitchcock ended with the criminal turning himself in. On top of his slump, Jake notices general bad luck in his life going on and believes he's cursed. Holt orders Jake to digitize his unsolved cases and gives him a rabbit's foot to rub for good luck.
While organizing the files, Jake has an epiphany and figures out the couple looking for the missing grandmother are lying as they've filed missing person reports in other states and are after insurance fraud, thus ending his slump. He also figures out that Holt gave him the boring task of reorganizing the files to help lead to this, while the rabbit's foot was just a prank.
Meanwhile, Amy (Melissa Fumero) recruits Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) for help when Holt (Andre Braugher) asks her to run lead on the Junior Policeman Program for at-risk youth. They refuse Gina's (Chelsea Peretti) help since she isn't a cop, but the two have a hard time getting through the youth and are ultimately forced to ask for Gina's assistance. Gina attempts to convey the message through an interpretive dance, but when that fails, she succeeds by informing them about a cop's salary and that they can ignore red lights and get guns.
