There aren't really that many surprises to this storyline, as the cops were in fact revealed to be in the wrong, their commanding officer (another of the titular self-proclaimed "good ones") backs them up, and the only victory Jake and Rosa manage to secure is getting the charges dropped against Rosa's client. This new occupation leads her to work alongside Jake ( Andy Samberg) on a case she's taken, aiming to get the charges dismissed against a young woman falsely accused of assaulting an officer. But there's always been room for civilians on B99 (we'll never forget you, Gina Linetti) and Rosa's new job should keep her in the midst of the action, as she's now working as a private detective with a focus on cases involving police abuse. It's a change that seems likely to stick, and not just because Beatriz was very visibly vocal on this topic last year. Instead, things dove head-on into a pretty massive change to the status quo: Rosa ( Stephanie Beatriz) announcing that she was quitting the force. The first two episodes, which aired back to back this Thursday, did minimal work to acknowledge the pandemic, beyond starting with a cold open gag about socially distanced high fives. And the promise to examine what it means to be a cop in 2021 was immediately delivered upon in the season premiere. The NBC comedy was one of the first shows to announce that it'd be making fundamental changes, all tied to the conversation around police reform in America following the death of George Floyd and ensuing Black Lives Matter protests. Brooklyn Nine-Nine's return for its eighth and final season already had a lot of expectations heaped upon it - and then the summer of 2020 happened.
