The entire squad was instrumental in taking down Figgis' organization, yet he only threatens Peralta and Holt and only they go into witness protection? Did Figgis really fail to realize that Rosa was engaged to Pimento? Or that Amy, Peralta's boyfriend tricked his sister into revealing information?
Just reeks of convenience to get just Peralta and Holt away from the precinct.
Reguardless of how powerful Figgis is (or was), he can't kill the entire 99.
Its simply not possible, he's a mob boss not an evil overlord. Even if he succeeded it would destroy his empire as he would be declared the most wanted man in America, the police and the FBI would turn everything that had towards nailing him.
And no one would want to do business with him, cause they knew he was a dead man.
Besides as he didn't have a mole in the 99 itself, its likely he doesn't know exactly who was involved in taking down his organisation. He just knows about Holt as he's the 99's captain, and Jake cause he's the most senior detective.
Did Figgis really fail to realize that Rosa was engaged to Pimento?

Surely Figgis had to be tracking these people if he got Jake's number to call. Surely he must have had someone tracking Pimento to see he was in a relationship with Rosa if not yet engaged.
Even still, if he only threatens two people, it's convenient that it's Jake and Holt. Why couldn't it have been Sarge and Rosa or some other combo?

It's still wholly convenient to think that everyone else in the precinct is entirely safe from Figgis. If he can't get to Jake or Holt, he would certainly go after some of the rest. It makes *zero* sense that Figgis would just sit on his butt and not take his murderous anger out on the other detectives. *Zero*. He has to know the precinct was involved. I mean, Bob Anderson had interaction with Rosa before he revealed himself, so surely he must have interacted with Figgis or other people connected to him before the 99 took him captive. If Figgis is the type to just sit on his butt or be completely oblivious of everyone else in the precinct, then he's not worth going into witness protection over.

He can target certain individuals within the precinct if not the entire precinct. If he can only kill two and his convenient top two are away, he can just as easily go after another two.
And tell me another reason why Bob wouldn't say anything about Rosa aside from it being convenient reasoning for just Jake and Holt. In fact, why not Jake, Holt *and* Rosa who have to go into hiding? It's convenient that it's just the show's two big stars instead of also characters who would organically likely be threatened in this situation.
I mean considering how rushed the finale felt, I guess it's not surprising that they didn't think harder about how organically this would play out.

Surely killing a police captain would put a bounty on his head anyway so what difference does it make to go after someone else in the precinct? A Sergeant, for instance? And why on earth would he just wait for his supposed top two to come around for him to kill instead of just going after another two in the meantime? *Zero* sense.
Is it possible that Bob didn't mention Rosa or that Figgis believed only Jake and Holt were the most responsible? Sure. Likely? Doubtful. It's very obvious that the writers wanted an excuse to take only Jake and Holt away from the precinct and considering how rushed the finale was, it's clear they didn't think about how organic it would be.
Let's not also forget there was a one week time lapse between Bob's confession and Figgis' call to Jake. Subsequently, Figgis would bear witness to his organization falling and who was involved. You don't think Rosa would be hands on in this, to help dismantle the organization keeping her fiancé away from her, the way that she is, determined to personally take down anyone who crosses her in any way? And if you do, do you really think Figgis wouldn't notice her involvement? And do yourself a favor and think in terms of probability, not possibility.

I never said it would make a difference if he killed someone else. You were suggesting why he didn't just kill all the 99 rather than a few of them.
Of course not, I'm wondering why she would stand out compared to all the other cops doing the exact same thing. Unless your suggesting the Nine Nine went around personally arresting all of Figgis's goons one at a time, rather than turning the information over to their superiors and causing a series of mass arrests as is procedure in these situations.
I changed my tune to changing his target to one or two of the others as I said above.
The answer is in the very bit you quoted. She would stand out because she would be hands on in and at the forefront of dismantling his organization. She's the most eager to take him down.
And in terms of handing information over to superiors, Jake is not a superior, so he would stand out no more than Rosa.
Rosa was in charge of the Giggle Pig case from Season 2 so one detective doesn't outrank the other. And if Rosa didn't personally make any more than a few arrests, Jake would make no more or less arrests. So as I said before, it ultimately reeks of convenience that it's just Jake and Holt that get threatened and go into hiding. They really could have had Rosa go into hiding with Jake and Holt if they really wanted to have Jake and Holt go into hiding. I don't see why they couldn't. It's extremely plausible.

It's a sitcom. It doesn't matter what makes sense..
shareI think he mentioned them only because they were the two who did the most in the operation. Bob didnt interact with anyone else besides Rosa but she didnt do much in the operation. Remember bob had to call it in before the hospital. So presumably when holt and jake contacted him. And then he gave Regis their numbers.
shareRosa did do quite a fair amount. She was the initial person chosen to go undercover in the women's prison. She helped stage the fake funeral for Pimento. She was involved in the heist to turn off the cameras, using yoga to hide in the cart. She used her apartment as the safe house to hide Bob.
shareBob didnt come in until the fbi raid though. And all she did was hide in the cart and screw with the cameras.
shareI don't see how screwing with the cameras qualifies as not doing much in the context of a heist. It's not like her prep for the heist was any different than Jake's. She was practicing yoga. He was practicing a pull-up.
Rosa did a lot more than Terry here.
On top of that, how much did Jake do between coming back from Texas from Amy and Bob coming in? Not much more than Rosa.
Idk man, it does not bother me, the suspension of disbelief is really high on this one since the last 4 episodes or so made up for the worst season out so far, but even then, still fun. So, the show is so nice and fun to watch that I can overlook plot holes somehow. If anything I thought it was not believable they could just go into the FBI like that.
