That all falls apart, though, when Dozerman catches Jake and Amy making out in the evidence room, and the revelation prompts a heart attack - a real one this time. Even Boyle, who is their ultimate relationship cheerleader, believes Jake’s lie that he’s merely dating a girl he met at the gym. The best laid plans, right?) (Uh, pun not intended.)Īt first, Jake and Amy’s decision to keep their romance secret goes swimmingly. (That last one only applies for about six hours, after which point Jake and Amy get really drunk on their awkward first date and sleep together. More specifically, th ey kissed, y’all! But Amy isn’t about to date a co-worker without laying some ground rules: 1) Don’t tell anyone.

What did you think of the BROOKLYN NINE-NINE season premiere?īROOKLYN NINE-NINE: What You Missed on Your Summer VacationīROOKLYN NINE-NINE Boss on Holt’s Struggle, Jake/Amy’s High Stakes, and Guest Star Bill Haderįollow and on Twitter for the latest TV news. That’s one of the questions, along with all the others it has always asked.” It’s still a workplace comedy, set in the police precinct, that now also asks the question, what happens when one detective dates a fellow detective. It’s not, all of a sudden, a relationship show about Jake and Amy. So, we haven’t in any way, changed the nature or direction of the show. The show is an ensemble show, and we love stories with Jake and all the characters, and Amy and all of the characters. “But then as it becomes a more normal thing, we touch on it with the regularity we’ve always touched on their relationship - a few times a year. “ showcased in the first couple of episodes, because it’s a major change in Jake’s life, and the life of the precinct,” Goor acknowledged. But just because they’re now dating, don’t expect to see a massive change in the show’s dynamic. He gets off on making life hard for those, as he says, turdballs.”Īs the Nine-Nine goes through its turmoil, there is one bright spot for Jake and Amy - they have, officially, decided to give their relationship a go.

And explain he had a genetic disorder, which spells his doom, independent of Jake and Amy.
“What we tried to do - what I hope we did a good job of - was paint him as kind of a jerk. Though Amy and Jake, indirectly, led to Dozerman’s final, fatal, heart attack, they are “going to feel very little remorse,” Goor laughed.
We thought it was funny that he has a series of heart attacks, and then he dies.” We were like, this works even if we don’t get Bill Hader, but it works especially well with Bill Hader.
So were dealing with the production realities of casting him, but we kind of fell in love with the story, and the comedy.
“And we thought this would be the funniest, most impactful use of him we like what it did for the story. “We didn’t have that much time with him,” BROOKLYN NINE-NINE executive producer Dan Goor shared. The premature death wasn’t always the plan, but became a necessity due to Hader’s increasingly busy career. BROOKLYN NINE-NINE brought in Bill Hader as the squad’s new captain…and promptly killed his character, Captain Dozerman, off in the season premiere.
