M.E. Time  "M.E. Time" is the fourth episode of the first season of the American television police sitcom series "Brooklyn Nine-Nine". It is the 4th overall episode of the series and is written by co-producer Gil Ozeri and directed by Troy Miller. It aired on Fox in the United States on October 8, 2013. It is the fourth episode to be broadcast but it's the sixth episode to be produced. 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. Jake Peralta (Andy Samberg) is an immature yet very talented detective in the precinct with an astounding record of crimes solved, putting him in a competition with fellow detective Amy Santiago (Melissa Fumero). The precinct's status changes when the Captain is retiring and a new commanding officer, Cpt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher) is appointed as the newest Captain. This puts a conflict between Jake and Holt for their respective methods in the field. Jake (Andy Samberg) flirts with an attractive medical examiner (Mary Elizabeth Ellis) at a crime scene and delays the autopsy report, only to learn that she's more than he bargained for. In the meantime, the sketch artist is out sick when Amy (Melissa Fumero) takes on a purse-snatching case, but she discovers that Jeffords (Terry Crews) has hidden artistic talents. Amy tries to determine why Holt (Andre Braugher) is in a bad mood. The episode was seen by an estimated 3.34 million household viewers and gained a 1.5/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received positive reviews from critics, who praised the cast's performance although some viewed the subplot as more interesting than the actual plot itself. Terry (Terry Crews) assigns Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) and Jake as secondaries to an investigation in which Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) leads as a primary. Amy (Melissa Fumero) warns that Jake hasn't been assigned as a secondary in a while due to his ego and could become rough and uncontrollable, due to having always led a case as a primary. In the investigation, Jake begins acting as the primary detective, asking for information, giving orders, jumping to conclusions and inserting one-liners and jokes randomly, to Rosa's dissatisfaction. Rosa confronts Jake, advising him to restrain himself and let Boyle take charge of the case, to Jake's frustration.
