In this episode, the Brooklyn borough experiences a blackout, which causes the precinct to go into panic mode, not only because they have to protect the city without technology but also because Amy's water starts breaking.
During this, Amy's water breaks and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) calls Jake to inform him, although he and Boyle are stuck in traffic and also have to constantly defend civilians and take perps to the precinct.
At the hospital, the squad meets Amy and Jake’s son, McClane "Mac" Peralta-Santiago before checking out Holt and Terry's dance that Rosa recorded on her phone.
