'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Season 7 Episode 6 Preview: Holt and Terry's bromance weakens, Hitchcock feels blue
The upcoming episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7, Episode 7, 'Trying' synopsis states: "Jake and Amy work an uncrackable case while Holt adjusts to a new beat; Hitchcock looks for the love of his life." But while we are still in the blue about exactly what trickster case the Peraltiago couple is trying to crack, leaked clips from the episode tease a hilarious breach in Captain Raymond Holt and Sargeant Terry Jeffords's longlasting bromance and some major heartbreak for the Nine-Nine veteran detective Michael Hitchcock.
In one of the leaked clips, Holt can be seen complaining to Terry about how him walking the same beat every day is getting painfully tedious for him (not to be confused with monotony, which Holt apparently loves. When Terry insists on how uniformed officers need to walk the same beat for six months to get familiar with the neighborhoods they protect, Holt requests him to make an exception in Holt's case, but of course, Terry refuses to play favorites. This leads to Holt revealing that during his time as captain, he did play favorites and when Terry claims he never got special treatment, Holt just asks him to do the math. Ouch, who would have thought that the two men who respect each other the most in the precinct would come to this unfortunate situation?
But speaking of misfortune, Hitchcock gets thrown a party for his seventh divorce, as shows another leaked clip. In what is believed to be the cold open for the episode, Norm Scully can be seen at the pub nearby, with the entire precinct present as he throws a heartbroken, miserable Hitchcock a divorce party. Hitchcock keeps lamenting how the divorce hit him out of the blue, but Jake Peralta steps in to remind him that his last wife did cheat on him - a video of which Hitchcock spread on the internet as revenge porn. Yet to Hitchcock, the divorce papers that arrived right after was totally 'out of the blue'. Talk about being blissfully unaware.
The best part? Hitchcock's divorce party cake has two men dolls on the topmost tier and is actually a rainbow cake inside. When Rosa Diaz points out how gay is, a beaming Scully exclaims that's him and Hitchcock and the show once again aces at deconstructing social norms and taboos by showing a healthy, blooming romance between two typically straight white men. BFF goals forever!
'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' season 7 airs on Thursdays, at 8:30 pm only on NBC.
