Amy tries to swot up on the subject so that they can speed through the seminar, which backfires when theyвЂ™re told by HRвЂ™s funny-guy (Paul Welsh) that the State mandates a minimum six hours for these things вЂ“ leaving plenty of leftover time for resolving specific conflicts within the Nine-Nine. This is a pretty standard idea for a workplace sitcom, but it works especially well here because itвЂ™s mundane enough to offset the wackiness of the whoвЂ™s-trying-to-kill-Pimento A-side and also allows the characters to really lean into their respective dynamics and personal quirks. Late on, Jake opens up to Pimento because he naturally assumes that heвЂ™s going to forget what Jake tells him anyway, but when he doesnвЂ™t Jake is forced to reckon with keeping secrets from his friend while Boyle has to deal with the reality that heвЂ™sвЂ¦ well, Boyle.ДЄ standout B-plot keeps the rest of the cast occupied in a workplace-conflict seminar too boring even for Amy. But вЂњPimementoвЂќ also smartly ties up the proceedings with the ongoing thread of Jake and Amy (Melissa Fumero) trying for a baby and Jake being apparently unable to keep Harry Potter references out of their sex life. Mantzoukas is the perfect guest-star for the nutcase overacting required here and itвЂ™s nice to see Brooklyn Nine-Nine Season 7, Episode 3 proving that the show still has occasional use of him. The frantic plot involving Pimento and his constantly resetting memory is enjoyably ridiculous and allows for plenty of riffing on the tired amnesiac trope.
