Brooklyn Nine-Nine

Peralta and Santiago assume the roles of an engaged couple to infiltrate an identity‑theft ring, while maintaining their cover. Their covert operation not only advances the case but also draws the two detectives nearer to each other, and they navigate the challenges of pretending to be a couple.

Johnny and Dora is a programme presented in the format of an episode. It falls under the comedy‑drama umbrella, offering a self‑contained story that fits within the series’ broader narrative. In this instalment, detectives Jake Peralta and Amy Santiago take on a covert operation, posing as a newly‑engaged couple. Their goal is to infiltrate the world of an identity thief and gather enough evidence to bring the criminal to justice. By adopting the façade of a romantic partnership, they gain access to the thief’s inner circle and move closer to cracking the case. As the investigation unfolds, the ruse has an unexpected side‑effect: the two officers find themselves drawn nearer to one another. The pressures of the undercover assignment and the shared experience of navigating a fabricated relationship serve to strengthen the bond between Peralta and Santiago, leaving them more connected than before they began the sting.
