Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Best Jake Peralta and Captain Holt moments

The student has become the teacher (Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1, Episode 11)

First on the list is the episode where Detective Peralta finds himself tasked with babysitting Captain Holt. It’s the holiday season, and Deputy Chief Gerber informs Jake that Holt has received death threats. As per security protocols, Peralta is selected to keep a close eye on Holt, ensuring he follows every directive. This episode provides plenty of laughs as we witness Jake’s hilarious attempts to assert his authority over his captain during this critical time.

Captain Holt received death threats due to his arrogance during his time as a young detective. His lack of teamwork made it challenging for him to trust his colleagues. Surprisingly, it was Jake who taught him the significance of being a team player. This pivotal moment paved the way for Holt to develop greater trust in his precinct, knowing he would be there for an extended period. Witnessing them perform the wave together brings a joyful smile to our faces.

BINGPOT! (Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 2, Episode 22)

Let’s move on to a fun and exciting one! In this episode, Jake and Boyle receive an important bank robber case, fully supported by Wuntch. However, Holt becomes suspicious and decides to get involved. Throughout their investigation, Jake does his best to make Holt break character and enjoy working together. Jake has a knack for sensing when Holt is losing control, so he’s determined to include him in every way possible.

The highlight of the episode is when Jake convinces Holt to go along with his helicopter scheme. Despite Holt’s distaste for extravagance, he reluctantly agrees. As they bond during the episode, Holt begins to let his guard down and embrace being part of the team. He even uses their flashy codenames, takes the chopper, and enthusiastically exclaims “bingpot”! It’s such a fun-filled episode!

Quarantined together (Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 3, Episode 12)

You’ll be amazed at how Jake manages to connect with Captain Holt, despite their stark differences. In this episode, Jake takes it upon himself to keep Holt company while Kevin is out of town. To distract the captain from his lover’s absence, Jake and Holt end up contracting mumps while working on a case. As a result, they’re quarantined together at Holt’s house, sharing the same space and trying to survive the ordeal.

It’s hilarious to witness their escalating frenzy as their mumps worsen. What’s even funnier is that Holt becomes unexpectedly humorous when he’s on medication. Both of them being delirious, Holt is persuaded to venture outside in a comical disguise to conceal his swollen face. And of course, their contrasting personalities clash, leading to a heated argument fueled by Holt’s reluctance to admit he feels lonely. And to top it all off? Holt’s surprising peace offering of sour candies!

Thanksgiving is dead! (Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Season 1, Episode 10)

Now let’s delve into the moments when Holt saves Peralta. In this episode, Amy Santiago decides to host a Thanksgiving dinner for the precinct at her apartment, expecting to have Holt as her mentor. This doesn’t sit well with Jake, who despises the holiday. Jake attempts to convince Holt to assign more cases to keep himself occupied and forget dinner. Holt responds by telling him that if any case resurfaces, he’s free to flee the gathering. It’s quite odd to see Jake avoiding such festivities, isn’t it?

It’s truly a peculiar and poignant situation. Peralta opens up to Holt about his deep dislike for Thanksgiving due to his parent’s absence during the holiday. However, Holt comes to Peralta’s aid and assures him that the precinct is his new family. It’s an incredibly touching moment. Another highlight of the episode is when Holt finally gives in and goes along with the fictional story Peralta concocted for their undercover mission. It’s a testament to how the team shines when they function together as a close-knit unit.

The Not-so Fun Zone (Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 4, Episodes 1, 2, & 3)

We’re wrapping up this list with a three-part episode that always remind us why we love the 99. At the beginning of Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 4, Holt and Jake find themselves in witness protection in Coral Springs. Holt spends his days blending in and speedwalking with the elderly ladies in his neighborhood while Jake navigates how to extricate themselves from the situation without drawing attention. This episode brims with delightful moments, especially when you see Holt dance at a children’s birthday party to mock Peralta.

It’s a captivating story arc that showcases numerous Jake and Holt interactions, making us adore them even more. Across the three episodes, there are plenty of indelible scenes, from their “jailbreak” kiss to their shared time in a bubbly hot tub. However, the funniest moment of all is when Holt consoles the panicking Jake while simultaneously extracting a metal bar from his thigh. The episode concludes with a heartwarming reunion with the beloved 99 squad whom we’ve missed dearly.
