Who's the Jealous One:
Boyle knows Jake better than anyone else. That's why he knows how jealous Jake is of Teddy. In fact, he's more aware of Jake's jealousy than even Jake is. Jake protests, but Boyle knows that Jake is lying to himself.
Initially, he's unwilling to admit it to himself, but Jake soon comes to terms that he wishes he had had the guts to ask Amy out on a date. The more dates Amy goes on with Teddy, the more that Teddy shows up at the precinct, the more Amy talks about how great Teddy is, how much fun she and Teddy have had, the more jealous Jake gets.
When Jake starts dating Sophia, its Amy's turn to be jealous. From the first mention of Sophia, Amy is surprised to find that she's jealous. She is shocked to find that she hates the idea of Jake being with any woman other than her.
She realizes that she chose Teddy because he was the safe choice, even though she had stronger feelings for Jake. When she digs a little deeper, she is upset to realize that she expected Jake not to date while she dated Teddy. She is not proud of her revelation, and it only causes her to be even more jealous of Sophia.
They never admit to one another that they were jealous of their previous boyfriends and girlfriends. As their own relationship begins, they each assume that there is no longer a need to be jealous. How very wrong they are…
After a long, exhausting week at the precinct, Amy is looking forward to blowing off steam at Shaw's with the rest of the Nine-Nine.
"Whiskey?" Jake asks Amy before heading to the bar.
"Of course," Amy replies, pleased at how well he knows her.
"I'll take a rum and coke," Rosa demands.
"Brooklyn Lager please?" Boyle asks.
"Vodka soda," Gina yells after Jake.
"Not made of money," Jake yells back to his friends, though the sparkle in his eyes reveals that the first round is on him.
Amy shrugs off her coat and slides into a booth next to Gina, across from Rosa and Boyle. She glances back to the bar and her heart drops at what she sees. A busty blonde is grabbing Jake's arm, laughing and batting her eyelashes at him. Not wanting to see anymore, Amy turns back to Rosa, Charles, and Gina.
A few moments later, Jake returns from the bar, handing everyone their drinks. He places Amy's glass in front of her as he slides into the booth next to her, wrapping his arm around her shoulder. "I see you made a new friend," Amy says, gesturing to the blonde who is still looking at Jake.
"Jealous much?" he laughs.
"No, I'm not jealous." Amy's not able to even convince herself that she's not jealous.
Gina starts laughing. "Please," Gina interjects. "Of course you're jealous. Amy, you always get jealous when other girls flirt with Jake."
"I do not," Amy protests.
"Oh, you absolutely do," Rosa says, joining the conversation.
"Last night, when we got to the bar after Jake and Charles, there was a woman offering to buy them drinks, and you grabbed Jake and shoved your tongue down his throat like you were marking your territory," Gina says.
"I was just saying hello to my boyfriend," Amy objects.
Rosa rolls her eyes before adding, "Were you just saying hello to Jake when you made out with him in front of my friend Katie when she visited me at work yesterday?"
"We weren't making out, I kissed him quickly before I left to go look into that murder. We always kiss each other goodbye."
"Ooh, ooh! When that women was giving her statement to Jake at the precinct the other day, you kept giving her the stink eye. Talk about jealousy…" Gina exclaims, a little too excited.
"Ok, maybe I get a little jealous of other women..." She turns to Jake to back her up, only to find him trying to hide his laughter. "Really Jake?" she says, annoyed at how amusing he's finding this.
"Yeah, really Jake? You're worse than Amy. Every time a guy so much as looks at Amy, you get territorial," Gina states.
"That is not true," Jake argues, no longer laughing.
"What about last week at the bar when that guy complimented Amy's shoes? You stepped in, put your arm around Amy's waist, made it known that she was your girlfriend," Rosa says.
"Well I'm not just going to stand around while another man hits on my girlfriend," Jake defends himself.
"Trust me, he wasn't hitting on her. He was gay and genuinely interested in her shoes," Gina assures Jake. "You defs were jealous of that guy who was flirting with Amy at Sal's last week though. Didn't you threaten to beat him up if he didn't leave Amy alone?"
"That is not at all accurate," Jake protests.
"You got a little rough arresting that perp who smiled at Amy this morning," Charles adds quietly.
"Et tu, Boyles? Et tu?" Jake asks, hurt by his best friend's betrayal.
"Sorry Jakey," Charles apologizes, at least having the decency to look ashamed at participating in this interrogation.
"This conversation is ridiculous," Amy states, clearly angered at her friends accusations. "Jake and I love each other. We do not get jealous."
"Yeah, I can't believe you guys would suggest that we would stoop so low as to be jealous. I am disappointed in all of you. Especially you Boyle," Jake scolds his friends.
"I know Jake, I'm the worst. I'm so sorry," Charles apologizes.
"Too late," Jake says before standing up and holding his hand out to Amy. "Come on Ames, let's get out of here, we don't need to continue to endure this betrayal from our supposed friends."
Amy takes Jake's hand as he lifts her out of the booth. The two of them leave the bar, abandoning their half-finished drinks and their friends.
…
"Jake, do you think Gina, Rosa and Boyle might have been a little right about our jealousy?" Amy asks Jake when they arrive back at her apartment.
"Of course not. No. No, no, no. Well… maybe they're on to something," Jake responds.
"I was marking my territory last night," Amy confesses.
Jake gasps, clutching he chest as he pretends to be stunned by Amy's confession. "I was angry with that perp this morning when he smiled at you. Though I really didn't mean to be rough with him."
"Is it bad that we get jealous?" Amy asks.
"No, it's understandable," Jake reassures Amy, pulling her into a hug.
"I have another confession," Amy says as she snuggles into Jake's chest. "I was jealous of Sophia."
"Oh Ames, I know," Jake laughs. "I was jealous…"
"…of Teddy. Yeah, you did not hide that well at all," Amy giggles, pulling back to look up at Jake, who is rolling his eyes.
"Alright," he says, drawing out each syllable as he leans down and kisses her on the lips.
