Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaWhen Captain Holt promises Rosa that he wouldn't talk about Kevin anymore, he clearly has his fingers crossed.
- GoofsThe nanny applicant who describes himself as "a bit of a Mary Poppins" affects an English accent and sings a song about slapping Mac's "fanny." In the UK, "fanny" is slang for vagina, not the buttocks as it is in America. Not only would that be grossly inappropriate, but Mac is a boy.
However, he is not really British and it's plausible he wouldn't know about the slang. Just as his understanding of Mary Poppins misses that her style doesn't include assaulting or threatening to assault children.
- Quotes
Raymond Holt: At 3:30 am this morning I seem to have sent Kevin a digital phallus portrait.
Rosa Diaz: A digital phallus portrait, what's that? Oh no! You sent him a d**k pic.

Featured review
A mediocre episode
I don't know what has happened to the writing here. I think making Jake and Amy parents was not great writing but what makes it worse is bringing the child into episode as a hurdle all the time. No one cares to see Amy and Jake as parents and worse be dragged down by their child. We know it's all not real and not necessary. We grew fond of the quirky characters and comedy in the precinct, this made the show great. We couldn't care less and don't need to see Jake and Amy pretending to be parents. We know what being an adult looks like so screen time does not need to be wasted on this futile story. I wonder if the writers went on a strike. Otherwise this is lazy writing. Even the jokes were not great between Amy and Jake. A weak and disappointing episode.
