Synopsis: Desperate circumstances call for desperate measures, as Jake, Holt, Amy, Terry, Rosa and Charles must ally themselves with old enemies. (IMDB)
The cold open started with where the last episode left off with Jake’s reluctant Suicide Squad being briefed about Kelly. They weren’t necessarily seeing eye to eye with one another until they sort of came together in a very awkward moment.
Amy joined the operation (because it wasn’t like Jake was going to keep it from her) as everyone got beepers in order to communicate. Holt didn’t trust Wuntch so he had Terry (who was in denial of being in denial about transferring soon) and Rosa watch her (and not tell Jake). Their plan was to commit a serious enough crime (kidnap CJ) to bait Kelly into using his surveillance technology so they can catch him in the act (the planning stage was hilarious). Once they had to enact their plan (Holt’s mask was a plus), it did not exactly go in the way that they intended. Terry and Rosa joined the operation after Wuntch spotted them and left the operation (Jake convinced her to come back and they became closer as a result).
To bait Kelly, they would need to up the ante by filming a video where they would pretend to want to kill CJ who wasn’t exactly playing along (the creepy basement search between Hitchcock and Scully was hilarious). Meanwhile, Holt and Wuntch were at a ball and had a nice dance (while still insulting each other) until Wuntch betrayed him to Kelly. The Vulture (who got a better deal from Wuntch) arrested the others for kidnapping CJ. Ultimately, this was Jake’s plan all along when he convinced her to rejoin the operation. Once Kelly saw Wuntch betraying Holt, it would make him trust her enough to get what they needed to take him down (and get a higher paying job in the private sector).
Wuntch was now the interim commissioner and made Holt a patrolman (as he was unfairly promoted to a detective after a month) so now Terry didn’t have to be transferred.
That’s life.
