Jake (Andy Samberg) and Holt (Andre Braugher) have been living in the witness protection program at Coral Palms, Florida for 6 months under the respective aliases of "Larry' and "Greg".
Holt finds him and scolds him for putting their lives at risk and tells him to get a job while he takes the file.
Holt is given the position of Assistant Manager at the Fun Zone but finds he has no interest in life in Florida.
Holt tells Jake that Figgis contacted the Fun Zone, proving their video managed to catch his attention.
However, their car is stopped by Sheriff Reynolds (Jim O'Heir), who finds the weapons and takes them to the station.
However, he has a hands-off attitude and lets everyone do anything they want, to the point where Gina (Chelsea Peretti) gets her own assistant Emily (Esther Povitsky), Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) gets a treadmill, Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) gets an isolated desk and Terry (Terry Crews) gets a yogurt fridge.
Back in Florida, Jake and Holt decide to tell the Sheriff their real identities and gives him a number to contact Haas and confirm everything.
They plan a way to lure Figgis out and go to Fun Zone to prepare an ambush, while Holt remains with Gina in the storage unit.

It's also a great place to set your NYPD cop comedy, as Brooklyn Nine-Nine proved in its season 4 premiere, which turned out to be 30 minutes of fun in the sun.
"[8] Allie Pape from Vulture gave the show a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "Nonetheless, I enjoyed getting to see B99 try on a looser vibe.
"[9] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Much as I'd love to see Terry, Rosa, Gina, and the rest, Brooklyn is a show that's had trouble juggling stories even in the most traditionally-structured episodes.
Here, we got to focus entirely on the Greg and Larry situation, exploring it to its greatest comic potential, and we'll get to catch up with the rest of the gang later.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine's fourth season opener is predictably of the show's nature, but it’s also totally great.
1' was a risky episode for Brooklyn Nine-Nine to return with, even though Andy Samberg and Andre Braugher were more than up to the task of handling it all by themselves.
Still, it's a funny episode that divides its time nicely between 'Greg' and 'Larry' in Florida and the rest of the Nine-Nine back in New York.
"[14] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Mostly, though, it was a situation similar to the Pimento arc from the end of last year, where the plottier Brooklyn gets, the more it invites the audience to start questioning whether the plot makes sense.
2' is equally revitalizing just for showing us the rest of Brooklyn Nine-Nine's cast, even if the story still revolves around a precinct divided by geography and by greed.
Club gave the episode an "A−" grade and wrote, "That’s a concept that's pretty much thrown out tension-wise come this week's 'Coral Palms Pt.
If that sounds like it's stretching credibility a bit — even in a world where Jake's frosted tips are considered acceptable in 2016 — it's because it and the trip to Florida in general serve as reminders of how Brooklyn Nine-Nine can sometimes have so much material to offer on weekly basis, only to be stifled by the confines of the 30 minute television format.
Please defrost all tips and return any unused bottles of Liquid Moan to the nearest convenience mart.
I haven't seen Fox's new Lethal Weapon reboot, but given the expectations for that franchise to have both comedy and credible action scenes, my guess is that B99 looks slow-paced and low-budget by comparison.
"[19] Alan Sepinwall of HitFix wrote, "Still, glad to have the full cast together again, and to see the show navigate its way through what could have been a too-dark storyline, as even Sheriff Reynolds turns out okay after getting shot by Figgis, since he'll get a disability pension out of it.
