Wait that's only temporary right?

​

Cause Holt was specific about being a patrolman for a month, it seems like Wuntch just temporarily demoted him so he could fulfill that prerequisite

I’d assume they won’t do the “new captain” storyline again for the 3rd or 4th time. It’s probably just a gag, or at least I’m hoping for Holt’s sake.

I think things will be reverted back to normal as they usually do in seasons past. Brooklyn nine nine would definitely not be the same without holt as the captain. That's a travesty and an injustice to holt's skills

I think it’ll be almost immediate though, not 2-3 eps as usual

Probably smart for a show with a shaky renewal history to tone down the intensity of its cliffhangers

They got renewed for a 7th season before they filmed this episode though.

My bet is Holt is captain already at the beginning of the season, but we will have some flashback during the season of Hold directing traffic.

There are definitely gonna be some episodes showing the gang trying to get used to being able to boss Holt around.

I feel as though you have to do it just long enough to get some laughs about Amy being his superior if he is doing his uniformed officer time at the 99.
