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. In this episode, Doug Judy is arrested for his crimes in another state and Jake agrees to transfer him to the prison so they can have one last fun time together before his incarceration. However, Jake finds out the Pontiac Bandit is planning to escape from him again.
According to Nielsen Media Research, the episode was seen by an estimated 1.90 million household viewers and gained a 0.4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49. The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Samberg's and Robinson's chemistry but some felt the closure to Doug Judy felt "lackluster".
