Which season 7 episode did Kyra Sedgwick direct?

The story behind the answer

Kyra Sedgwick directed the season 7 Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode “Dillman.” It is the ninth episode of the season and the 139th episode overall, airing on March 26, 2020.

The story begins when a glitter bomb explodes on Jake’s desk, damaging the precinct and destroying crucial evidence in a murder case. Captain Holt brings in Frank Dillman, a celebrated detective he considers one of the best he has ever worked with. Jake, hoping to earn a place on Holt’s new task force, tries to solve the mystery before Dillman does.

Sedgwick was already closely associated with the series: she played Deputy Chief Madeline Wuntch, Holt’s longtime professional rival. Her directing work here is separate from her on-screen appearances, and “Dillman” is sometimes confused with nearby season 7 episodes such as “The Takeback” or “Trying.” The episode’s central mystery eventually reveals that the glitter bomb was planted to destroy weak evidence, while Jake’s own attempt to impress Holt leads to his suspension.
