[S2E14] Defense Rests \/\/FREE\\\\
Jake is really starting to like Sophia, which is nice. It's obvious there's still a part of him that will always carry a torch for Amy, but he has worked hard to maintain an adorably awkward friendship with her. However, Sophia's job as a defense attorney was in direct conflict with Jake's job as a detective.
[S2E14] Defense Rests
When Sophia admits to Jake that her boss, Jeffrey Hoytsman, is tanking her career because she's dating Jake, Jake resolves to cozy up to Hoytsman at an event full of defense attorneys. But like all of Jake's half baked plans, this goes wonderfully awry. Atlantic City was the cause of all this trouble.
Jake surmises that Hoytsman might have a gambling problem and quickly proves this theory correct. When he follows him into a restroom, he sees him with cocaine. If that weren't bad enough, Hoytsman then snorts some cocaine RIGHT IN FRONT OF Jake. Yes, a supervisor of defense attorneys just snorted coke in front of a cop. Chris Parnell plays the role to perfection and this particular scene is definitely a highlight in an otherwise weak episode.
Hoytsman: Okay, it was cocaine! Turns out I was accidentally doing some cocaine.Jake: Not on accident. You put it in your nose on purpose.Hoytsman: I don't even think I have a nose Peralta! I certainly cannot feel it. The defense rests!
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, Jake's relationship with Sophia becomes distant when she asks for them to take a pause. Finding out that her boss is the reason, Jake decides to smooth the situation by bonding with him. Jake discovers Sophia's boss taking cocaine in a bathroom and arrests him. Meanwhile, Holt deals with a dilemma related to giving Wuntch a recommendation letter so she can leave the city, while Boyle tries to get Gina's blessing for his father's wedding.
Jake brings Terry (Terry Crews) as help to a charity event where Sophia's co-workers and Geoffrey are in attendance. Despite initially getting a lukewarm response, Jake and Geoffrey bond over competitive facts. However, when Jake goes to the restroom, he finds Geoffrey snorting cocaine and arrests him. An upset Sophia arrives at the precinct, planning to defend Geoffrey. After a heated argument, Sophia breaks up with Jake, citing that their occupations don't work together.
Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Not one of their strongest episodes this season, but still plenty of laughs."[5] Andy Crump of Paste gave the episode a 7.9 and wrote, "Amazingly, 'Defense Rests' never feels overstuffed or bloated by sheer weight of material; each segment is also rife with great one-liners and visual gags, and best of all, we finally learn how tall Terry is in egg rolls. (Twenty five.) Asses are sexier than snakes, no one can savor a moment like Holt, Terry just can't read the vibe, defense attorneys are savage jerks (even when they're being nice), and the best revenge is sabotaging your enemy's auto-correct. (Wuntch to 'butt.' Sophia to 'butt.' The hilarity is endless.) And best of all, three oft-revisited narratives get pushed ahead to new places, moving Brooklyn Nine-Nine as a show ahead with them."[6]

And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberatin' and conjugatin' the Emancipation Proclamation, [approaches and softens] does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense! If Chewbacca lives on Endor, you must acquit! The defense rests."
Count Dooku, aboard a Munificent-class star frigate, discusses the final plans via hologram with Death Watch leader Pre Vizsla regarding Death Watch's plan to take over the neutral, peace loving world of Mandalore. He is on Concordia at the Deathwatch hideout and his men are assembling themselves to prepare for the planetary invasion. Dooku instructs Vizsla to send a Death Watch assassin to Coruscant to kill the Duchess Satine Kryze. A New Mandalorian scout is hiding in the hills, spying on the operation down below with a pair of electrobinoculars, and hurries back to report his findings to Almec in Sundari. He reports to have found the Death Watch army, which is preparing for battle. He claims the Death Watch will never have the strength required to conquer Mandalore without the people's support. To this, Almec states that if Mandalore is under the Republic's occupation, it will "turn the Death Watch from terrorists to liberators in the eyes of the people." The scout asks how to keep the Republic forces offworld, to which the Prime Minister claims that their fate rests with Satine.
In Sector GL5 of the Coruscant Underworld, Satine, now in a red hooded cloak to conceal her identity, meets with Davu Golec, a fellow Mandalorian and her contact who obtained important information from the Republic Ministry of Intelligence. He hands her a card with the full recording of Jerec's message, telling her the one shown to the Senate earlier was botched. A Death Watch assassin who had been following Golec, the same one responsible for her speeder crash, snipes him clear in the chest, killing him. The Duchess quickly pulls out her deactivator in defense, only to be mistook for a blaster by a police probes who assumes she shot Golec and mark her as a criminal. Lucky for Satine, had the probe not intervened, the assassin would have had a clear shot at her too. She flees from a pair of police droids and the probe who are soon joined by two Coruscant Guards, this whole time she is still being pursued by an assassin. After some time, she pulls out her deactivator and fires it at the probe, causing it to crash to the ground and the other law enforcers to trip over it, taking out both droids; she uses this opportunity to melt away into the crowd. Not long after, she manages to make them lose her trail.
As the decisive battle draws closer, Bon's sister, Pocoa, along with other members of the Uralis kingdom, will arrive in Renril. They will then help out the Renril soldiers prepare for the defense of the royal capital, as everything will seemingly go smoothly.
Nick spends much of the finale trying to convince everyone to leave since Marco's gang knows where they are and are coming to kill them. Without a viable defense strategy, this seems like a no-brainer. Of course, Alejandro is stubborn and Luciana is...baffling...so nobody wants to go. Luciana says some stuff about how for almost everybody in the "Colonia" this is their first real home ever. Because, you know, in Mexico everybody is poor and they don't have homes or communities or something. It's all preposterous, and could have been handled much better -- Luciana, for instance, could have argued that it wasn't possible to move the young and elderly and sick, and she needed to stay and put up a final stand. Instead we get what we almost always get from this show: Half-baked dialogue filled with half-baked arguments that don't hold up to 10 seconds of scrutiny.
The scene opens with young women dancing on a stage doing an R & B routine. A woman stumbles from offstage. She has a pair of scissors sticking out of her chest. She collapses and one of the young dancers runs to her, her mother. Back at Jane's, she and Maura practice self-defense boxing moves. Jane thinks her dad is still in Florida and now has a girlfriend. They get called to the scene. Korsak ignores his ringing cell phone. The victim, Denise Ryan, has defensive wounds on her hands. The scissors have a ribbon on them from Sapphire Dance Studio. Jane and Korsak follow the blood trail to the dressing room. Korsak ignores his phone again. It's Melody, wanting him to co-sign a loan for her yoga studio.
