10 Most Emotional Brooklyn Nine-Nine Moments

"Johnny and Dora" is a delightful episode that plants the seeds for Jake and Amy's relationship and gets you laughing the whole way. But, the ending will hit you like a freight train, as it proposes a massive change for the show and delivers a tear-jerker of a scene.

Throughout the episode, Holt has been battling to find a letter to incriminate Madelyn Wuntch, to stop her plans of transferring him from the Nine-Nine. However, it's to no avail, as his transfer becomes inevitable, and he is forced to bid farewell to the squad.

Holt's speech is brought to life beautifully by Andre Braugher, who lets the stoic police captain experience a moment of weakness, showing genuine emotion and letting the squad know how much they mean to him.

Jake even tries to joke, but this elicits an even more heart-breaking moment where Holt plays along in a dejected way. The speech itself is moving, but the reactions of the rest of the cast sell the point home.

Of course, Holt would find his way back to the Nine-Nine eventually, but this emotional farewell was a moment for the ages.
