S8E8 · Renewal

Complete story — includes the ending

Holt announces he has set up a vow renewal ceremony with Kevin and tells the detectives he will retire after he and Amy pass the police reform program. On the day of the ceremony, they find out that O'Sullivan has sabotaged their data, leading Holt and Jake to try and steal O'Sullivan's laptop computer from his mother, while Terry and Amy use O'Sullivan's Billy Joel admiration to secure his thumbprint, all while hiding from Kevin that Holt is working on the day of their vow renewal. After Kevin ends up rescuing Holt from O'Sullivan's house, he accepts that Holt is too passionate to retire and the two renew their vows before delivering the proper data to One Police Plaza. The commissioner accepts the reform proposal and plans to implement it citywide while also appointing Holt and Amy as deputy commissioner and chief of the reform program, respectively.
