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 and Amy spend a week on a cruise, only to discover that Doug Judy is the musical entertainer, hiding from an assassin. Meanwhile, Boyle and Rosa compete for a vacant apartment after the owner dies. Also, Holt's sister visits him, much to his dismay.
The episode was seen by an estimated 2.38 million household viewers and gained a 1.0/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised Robinson's and Nash's guest performances.
Jake (Andy Samberg) wins tickets for a week on a cruise and decides to take Amy (Melissa Fumero). While on the ship, they discuss the fact that Amy enrolled them on nearly all of the cruise's activities. To their shock, they find out that Doug Judy (Craig Robinson) is the cruise's music entertainer.
Due to being within international waters, they can't arrest Judy and the Captain also refuses to arrest him. Judy tells Jake that he got him the tickets, as he's being pursued by a hitman of one of his former bosses. After doubting Judy, they find him getting attacked by an assassin, who manages to escape. They decide to bait the hitman by having Judy perform in the cruise. The hitman takes Judy, but Jake and Amy manage to catch him. However, Judy escapes on a boat, leaving his cabin to Jake and Amy.
Meanwhile, Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) investigate the murder of an elderly woman, but are stunned by the vacant apartment. They try to compete for the apartment, but the landlord (Ruben Garfias) states that the apartment has already been sold. Later, they find evidence that the landlord is responsible for the murder and arrest him. Also, Holt (Andre Braugher) is unhappy, as his sister Debbie (Niecy Nash) is visiting with him. Deeming her a "drama queen", Holt tries to make her leave the precinct. However, upon realizing that she came in after her partner cheated on her, Holt decides to spend time with her.
