“It’s f–king epic,” raves Melissa Fumero (Amy). “It’s such a great Gina episode.. Her grand finale is with Amy and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz), as it should be. She has stuff with everybody, but they paired her with us [at the end] and we had so much fun shooting that last week. It was bittersweet and sad and we definitely cried, [but they were] happy tears.”

Meanwhile, Beatriz — echoing Goor’s earlier assertion that “this is not the last we’ll see of Gina” — stresses, “Gina still exists in our world. You might not see her every day, but she’s still part of our landscape. She’s part of the fabric of Brooklyn 99 and she always will be.” (With reporting by Diane Gordon)
