Brooklyn Nine-Nine gave us the flashback episode we were waiting for on Thursday night – and left us shook with the realisation that Scully and Hitchcock were once great at their jobs.

That, and they were actually kind of hot in 1986. Go figure.

Jake Peralta would’ve been super proud to have been working alongside the Miami Vice loving Brooklyn cops who busted cocaine dealers and were smooth as silk as they made their way through the mean streets of the city.

However, their downfall to the desk jockeys who have indented their bums into their seats permanently comes down to one major thing – free chicken wings from a place called Wing Slutz.



We feel that on a personal level.

The special flashback clips were revealed when the pair are put under the spotlight by Peralta and Boyle, who have to investigate their financial past.

When it’s revealed that a bag of money went missing from one of their cases, the pair come under suspicion, but did they really do it?

And if so, how come Scully’s living in a van when his ex-wife kicks him out of the house?

The mind boggles. But it’s all sealed up in a very Nine-Nine way.

Nine-Nine forever, baby.
