This week on Brooklyn99, Jake and Amy struggle to conceive in a novel episode that spans a wild six months. Alan Sepinwall's recap
For a moment, I wondered if this was a way for them to do the Halloween Heist on Halloween, but we quickly blow into November and winter weather. Instead, the ancillary benefit to covering so much time in a single episode is that we’re now well into Holt’s year-long punishment, which will make it easier to transition him back when the time comes.
Jake and Amy’s fertility troubles have to play out over a long stretch for them to have any real weight. The show could have mentioned the problem briefly in episodes prior to this one, but that’s not the same as seeing them continually trying and failing to conceive, and taking increasingly stupid approaches as they go.
The more dramatic material with Jake and Amy also works. Fertility troubles are a familiar issue from both life and TV, and “Trying” doesn’t shoot for any grand statement on the subject. It just allows it to be a tough problem for our heroes to deal with, suggesting potential alternatives that could be explored later, but largely focusing on the emotional hardship.
