Trivia

Therefore Amy's stomach is often hidden for most of the seasons latter half, or in the case of the final three episodes, used as a plot device (Amy pretends to be the pregnant Isabel Cortez).
 * She shares a birthday (August 19) with Kyra Sedgewick, the actress that plays Madeline Wuntch on Brooklyn Nine-Nine.
