In the episode, Jake and Amy are assigned to go on a work trip together. Jake seizes the opportunity to invite Sophia and Teddy as well for a romantic weekend, but soon discovers that Amy wants to break up with Teddy. Meanwhile, Boyle helps Holt learn the art of cooking for his and Kevin's anniversary, while Rosa refuses to go home when she catches a cold.
The episode was seen by an estimated 3.11 million household viewers and gained a 1.4/3 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received critical acclaim from critics, who praised Jake's and Amy's storyline and character development.
In the cold open, Jake and Boyle prepare to go undercover as longshoremen to bust a cargo smuggling ring, only to find out the leader turned himself in. Holt however lets them stay in character for a few minutes.
Captain Holt (Andre Braugher) assigns Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) to go on a work trip to transfer a criminal who skipped bail and fled upstate. Holt also asks Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) for help with learning how to cook a breakfast for his and Kevin's anniversary. When he doesn't learn the lesson, Holt storms out of his classes.
Seeing they are staying at a bed and breakfast, Jake decides to invite Sophia (Eva Longoria) for a romantic weekend. As a gesture, he also invites Teddy (Kyle Bornheimer) for the weekend. However, he is scolded by Amy, as she was about to break up with Teddy. Jake and Sophia decide to help her control her emotions during dinner. However, Teddy's behavior does not change, leading Amy to break up with him. Teddy suspects that the break-up has to do with Jake and Amy's feelings for each another. This also upsets Sophia, who storms out. Jake manages to make up with Sophia, while Amy feels the break-up was the right thing to do.
Meanwhile, Terry (Terry Crews) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) notice that Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) has a cold and suggest she should go home, to no avail. Later, when Rosa coughs in front of a perp, Gina locks her down for the rest of the day. The following morning, Rosa wakes up better, but agrees to go home to recover. Holt apologizes to Boyle for his behavior. He reveals that he read Boyle's cooking blog and managed to make the meal he and Kevin ate on their first anniversary.
