Directed by Trent O'Donnell. New Girl still had mainly Jess interacting with B99’s cast and Gina and Holt dealing with her at the police station was comedy gold. "The Night Shift" is the fourth episode of the fourth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine. Brooklyn Nine-Nine and New Girl serve as staples of the FOX prime-time lineup. The New Girl gang heads to New York, where Schmidt deals with old high school bullies, in a great crossover episode with Brooklyn Nine-Nine. It is the 72nd overall episodes of the series and is written by Matt Murray and directed by Tristram Shapeero.It aired on Fox in the United States on October 11, 2016.. Schmidt returns to New York, “the bosom of Lady Liberty!” (or, as Jess calls it, “the city of garbage water and pizza trash”) to accept his high school’s Distinguished Alum award, and to rub his success in his peers’ faces. “Homecoming” works—mostly—because it’s first and foremost an episode of New Girl.

On a trip to New York, Jess helps detective Jake Peralta with a case and meets Captain Ray Holt and Gina Linetti at his precinct, while Nick and Winston attempt to impress Charles Boyle and Cece faces off with her mother-in-law. We know that B99 and New Girl are set in the same universe because of a two-part crossover episode between the shows that starts on season 6, episode 1 of New Girl. Currently airing in the 8–9 pm block on Tuesday nights are its flagship comedies, New Girl (now in Season 6) and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (Season 4), … Brooklyn Nine-Nine only had Jess showing up at the end but other than that, it pretty much felt like any other episode. I’m a big fan of Brooklyn 99, but I didn’t realise Jess was in one of the episode until I watched this. The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. For years they helped drive ratings and survived the carnage usually associated with half-hour comedies on the network (The Grinder and Grandfathered faced the ax last year).Perhaps as a result of their longevity, FOX television decided to combine it’s two most popular comedies into a one-night crossover event. Love how 99’s characters are being portrayed in a much calmer scene(as B99 tend to have a different way the camera usually move). In the episode, Jake's half-sister, Kate, comes to visit him after a rough break-up. With Zooey Deschanel, Jake Johnson, Max Greenfield, Lamorne Morris. Everything comes back in memory and Jess is the soup girl! Rather than one hour-long crossover, fans of each show got stand-alone episodes featuring cameos from "New Girl" and "Brooklyn 99." This is definitely one of the best crossover ever!
