He’s afraid he won’t be able to arrest people anymore, but Holt redirects his fear and lets Jake know that this discernment makes him a better cop because he will be more accurate and diligent in his work.Īdrian comes to visit Rosa at work and to outsiders (us, Amy and Terry) they seem normal, but Rosa is upset because Adrian is acting weird (-er than usual). He is hesitant to send someone there if he isn’t 100% certain they are guilty. However, Jake informs them that they’re wrong, his doubts are not based on his abilities as a cop, but on his knowledge of what prison is like (spoiler alert: it’s TERRIBLE).

As Jake is getting ready to leave, Boyle and Captain Holt tell Jake that because of his detailed paperwork they were able to catch the thief again and that letting him go was just a bout of insecurity. Jake tells Holt that he was right about him not being ready to be out in the field and he suspends himself for two weeks. Which would be fine, except Jake let the original perp go. He and Charles go undercover as sneakerheads (that look like Kevin Federline cosplay) just to discover that they had the right guy all along. Jake wakes up in the middle of the night because he thinks that they arrested the wrong man. Jake notices a security camera and through a series of detective work, he finds the thief. Jake is also having trouble concentrating because Holt is close by taking notes.

Jake and Charles go to the crime scene and they’re having trouble finding clues (there’s no sign of forced entry). To Jake’s surprise, Holt agrees and says that HE will evaluate Jake. To be allowed back on the field, Jake must be evaluated, BUT he can dictate the time of his evaluation by demanding that Holt pick his evaluator. Spending time in prison and dating Amy has given Jake better research skills, which he uses to approach the Captain with a loophole (and an inappropriate handshake). Jake asks Charles what he has going on and he basically has the perfect case for Jake. He contests his current situation with Captain Holt, who tells Jake that since he’s been in a traumatic experience he isn’t ready to go back out in the field. Following his release from prison, Jake is assigned to desk duty and like any person with the attention span of a goldfish, he’s losing it.
