The episode was seen by an estimated 2.35 million household viewers and gained a 1.1/4 ratings share among adults aged 18–49, according to Nielsen Media Research. The episode received critical acclaim from critics, who praised Samberg's, Fumero's and Braugher's performances in the episode.
In the cold open, the squad pays their respects to the old vending machine that's getting replaced, but rush to get free candy when the janitor accidentally drops and breaks it.
Jake (Andy Samberg) and Amy (Melissa Fumero) are pursuing an identity thief with the help of Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio) and Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz). During the mission, Jake explains to Amy that he had earlier planned to ask her out for a date which is why he was reluctant to work the case with her.
Jake and Amy go undercover at a restaurant posing as an engaged couple and find the identity thief, who is about to handle a package. Throughout the operation, they kiss in order to pose as a couple. After catching the thief, they discuss what happened during the operation and whether they have feelings for each other. Meanwhile, Boyle tries to organize a birthday surprise for Rosa, but she despises her birthday. Rosa finds out that Marcus (Nick Cannon) has booked a bar for a date only for themselves. Marcus reveals that this is all thanks to Boyle.
Meanwhile, Holt (Andre Braugher) tells Terry (Terry Crews) and Gina (Chelsea Peretti) about his situation with Wuntch (Kyra Sedgwick), and asks if they could retrieve a letter that Wuntch previously wrote to use against her. [1] Terry and Gina manage to retrieve it and hand it to Holt, who shows it to Wuntch, claiming that he has evidence of what she did and he tells her to reconsider her plans. However, she informs him that if he reports her, she will make sure everyone in the precinct is moved to different places. Holt decides to accept the offer and has an emotional goodbye with the precinct, only to be joined by Gina as well. Jake and Amy share a real kiss in the filing room until they're told that the new captain has arrived.

"Johnny and Dora" received critical acclaim from critics. LaToya Ferguson of The A.V. Club gave the episode an "A−" grade and wrote, "In fact, 'Johnny And Dora' is one of the more in-tone, self-assured episodes of season two. It's the right note to leave the show on, especially with this season's up and downs." [4] Allie Pape from Vulture gave the show a 4 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "I'm proud of the show for painting itself into this challenging corner, especially because the real-life NYPD certainly has no end of major issues when it comes to PR; while I doubt we're going to see a Fox sitcom take on police brutality, the move could allow B99 to mine some of the many topical issues surrounding modern police departments."

Holt: I'm not going anywhere. Madeline's not some invincible succubus. She's a regular succubus and can be defeated. We just need to find the letter. / Terry: What letter? / Holt: Before our current policy commissioner was hired, a mutual friend told me Madeline wrote a letter to the mayor telling him it was a mistake. She apparently called her now-boss a quote "simpering buffoon" unquote. / Gina: Amateur, always say your insults to someone's face, no paper trail. / Holt: A copy of that letter exists in the mayor's archives. I can't go snooping around without alerting Madeline, so it won't be easy, and we don't have much timeout I need you to find that letter.
