"Bachelor/ette Party" is the 19th episode of the fifth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 109th overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Carly Hallam Tosh and directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller. It aired on Fox in the United States on April 29, 2018. The episode features guest appearances from Reginald VelJohnson, Sarah Baker, and Blake Anderson.
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In the episode, Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) and Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero) have their respective bachelor/ette parties. However, Jake's party involves an extremely complicated treasure hunt planned by Charles Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), while Amy's party is interrupted when she finds that Jake hired an ex-boyfriend (Blake Anderson) to play at her wedding and seeks to cancel.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.97 million household viewers and gained a 0.9/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received very positive reviews from critics, who praised the characters' performance and writing.[citation needed]
Jake (Andy Samberg) has his bachelor party organized by Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) with the assistance of Terry (Terry Crews) and Holt (Andre Braugher) while Amy's bachelorette party is organized by her friend Kylie (Sarah Baker) with the assistance of Gina (Chelsea Peretti), Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller).
Boyle's plan involves an overly-elaborate scavenger hunt, which upsets Jake, Terry and Holt. Boyle is then "kidnapped" and gives the gang instructions for the next 6 hours to find clues around the city. Finding in his mail the final destination, the guys decide to eat and drink at a restaurant during the 6 hours. However, at the destination, Boyle realizes the deception and leaves, upset. Jake asks for help from Reginald VelJohnson, an actor from his favourite film Die Hard, who was part of the clues, to locate Boyle and they both apologize for their behavior. Jake then offers an apology to an angry VelJohnson, who immediately rejects this by informing Jake that he has made an "enemy for life" and that he plans to tell Jake's idol, Bruce Willis, that he sucks.
Amy's party turns dull so the gang play Never Have I Ever, which causes Hitchcock and Scully to go to the hospital. During the party, Kylie reveals that Jake hired a band whose lead member, Constantine Kane (Blake Anderson), she once dated (and is still in love with her) to perform at their wedding. The women confront him at a bar, where he refuses to cancel his performance unless he's paid a cancellation fee of $15,000. Amy then takes his contract and burns it, breaking the clause.
