Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Every Season 7 Episode Ranked Worst To Best

13. Ep. 6: Trying

Starting things off, we have one of the more serious episodes of the season, which mainly focuses on Jake and Amy's attempts at falling pregnant. Making use of time jumps, this somewhat ambitious episode takes place over the course of six months as the couple grow increasingly frustrated with their failed attempts to conceive.

We see them try a variety of methods, including the "Jake Way", the 'Amy Way" and most worryingly, the "Hitchcock Way". In the end though, they come to realise that they aren't doing themselves any favours by putting pressure on themselves and accept that it is ultimately beyond their control.

Additionally, we see multiple subplots play out over six months, which provide plenty of humour to balance out the central plot, such as: the demoted Holt adjusting to his new beat; Hitchcock getting divorced, married and then divorced again; and most-humorously, Boyle and Rosa trying to hide an ever-expanding family of guinea pigs in a supply closet. It's a lot to put into a single episode, but it all makes sense given the extended time period. It actually gives the episode a unique, almost experimental feel that stands out from the rest of the season.

Of course, the heart of the episode comes from Jake and Amy's very relatable struggle, which is an important part of both their character arcs for the season. So while this might not be the highest point of the season, it certainly deserves to be recognised for all it tries to accomplish.
