During the inter-precinct throwdown, he surreptitiously sabotaged the radiator, rendering the Nine-Nine inhospitable, and forcing the Nine-Eight to seek alternate housing arrangements and the Nine-Nine to work in freezing conditions. Even Holt, who exhibited tremendous patience in being a gracious host by letting the other captain use and abuse his office, right down to the critical lumbar settings on his chair, finally had enough. From Rosa’s seething hatred of a nut named Ellen who likes to talk about juicing nuts, to Amy’s red-eyed irritation over her counterpart’s questionable therapy dog (“Fraud dog! Fraud dog!”), the vitriol was bubbling over in all sorts of amusing ways. The episode’s related story lines involved the rest of the staff bemoaning and bitching about the invasion of the Nine-Eight staff on their turf, which led Amy, Rosa, Hitchcock, Scully - and, once his full-fat Greek yogurt had been violated, Terry, in a well-sold speech - to create a secret satellite office/society on the roof. That’s too bad, because the Beatsie Boys deserve another reunion, and Stevie would be a welcome addition to the roster of dip-in-and-out characters like the Pontiac Bandit and Wunch. Also, the dirty-cop reveal positions this as more of a one-off and doesn’t set up a logical return visit for Stevie. The foolery of singing Toni Braxton together did undercut the severity of Stevie’s betrayal to Jake there probably were darker jokes to make there. Stevie was ultimately arrested and brought to justice by Jake and his restored-to-glory partner, Charles (with all three singing “Unbreak My Heart” in the perp ride).

Jake ultimately saw the light, which led to an absurd, cramped quarters attempt at fist fight with Stevie, before it mutated into an all-out brawl between the two precincts. With Stevie joining Jake and Charles on a stakeout to bust a drug dealer that Stevie had been tracking, you knew that Charles would have to throw a penalty flag on Jake and Stevie’s rekindled bromance, but he actually had a very good reason to (besides jealousy): He realized that Stevie planted drugs in the apartment of the low-life suspect to save a botched mission.
