Doug Judy’s Brooklyn 99 send-off may not have been as flashy as previous Pontiac Bandit episodes, but it actually makes sense for his character’s story. First introduced in season 1 as a carjacking con artist, Doug developed a love-hate relationship with detective Jake Peralta. Jake had attempted to arrest Doug on multiple occasions, only for Doug to escape after a double or even triple cross. This all culminated in Jake finally sending Doug to jail in Brooklyn 99 season 8, but the lack of wackiness in the pair’s usual shenanigans actually made for a fitting end to Doug’s story.
