Andre Braugher Back in The Box

This was the best episode in a long time. The focus was on only three characters and all were great. Andre Braugher used to excel at interrogating suspects in Homicide. He loved "The Box" and I enjoyed seeing him in that role again.

Loved this

One of the show's most unique episodes. In an epsiode without subplots, the full focus is on Holt and Peralta as they spend the entire time interrogating a suspect. Sterling K. Brown plays the guy and is delightfully cunning. Holt and Perralta have always had great chemistry together and here the jokes fly fast and furious.

Goofs
When Jake lies to Philip that Philip's uncle's neighbor saw him at the cabin, Philip tells him the neighbor couldn't have identified him, because he's been dead for three years. It was established earlier that Philip and his uncle don't talk much and haven't seen one another in over a year, so it would be entirely possible that the uncle got a new neighbor since the previous one's passing and Philip just hadn't heard about it.

Quotes
Jake Peralta: Okay. We have a few more questions for you, doctor.
Captain Ray Holt: Doctor. Huh. It's funny when people call dentists "doctor".
Philip Davidson: We are doctors. We do four years of medical school.
Captain Ray Holt: Yeah, but it's called "dental school".
Philip Davidson: But we learn about the entire body.
Captain Ray Holt: But if you had cancer, you wouldn't call a dentist.
Philip Davidson: You know it's actually harder to get into dental school than medical school.
Captain Ray Holt: Well, because there are fewer dental schools. Because most people want to become actual doctors.
Philip Davidson: That's ridiculous. It's not like we're college professors calling ourselves "doctors".
Captain Ray Holt: Not the same thing, my friend.
Philip Davidson: Well, sure it is. When someone has a heart attack on a plane, do they yell out, "Yo, does anybody here have an Art History PhD?"
Captain Ray Holt: A PhD is a doctorate. It's literally describing a doctor.
Jake Peralta: Maybe let's refocus.
Captain Ray Holt: No! The problem here is that medical practitioners have co-opted the word "doctor".
Jake Peralta: Okay, Captain...
Captain Ray Holt: I know we live in a world where anything can mean anything, and nobody even cares about etymolo-!
Captain Ray Holt: Apparently that's a trigger for me.
Jake Peralta: Yeah, apparently.
