Plot
In the cold open, Jake attempts to show off his self-balancing board aka "hoverboard" to the squad, but struggles to maneuver it around the precinct.
It's Jake's (Andy Samberg) birthday and as such, Amy (Melissa Fumero) and him are visiting his mother, Karen (Katey Sagal) to celebrate his birthday. Amy is nervous at meeting her, to the point she has to talk about Karen's interests.
At her house, Karen reveals that Roger (Bradley Whitford) is visiting, as they have gotten back together, upsetting Jake. During the evening, Jake spends time making his father look at everything he has done. He later tells Amy that he witnessed his father having sex with one of his mother's friends years ago and never told his mother. He then tells his father he will tell his mom about the affair if he doesn't leave, which he does. However, Karen reveals she knew about the affair and says that he has changed. Jake goes after his father and convinces him to go back.
Meanwhile, Boyle (Joe Lo Truglio), Rosa (Stephanie Beatriz) and Terry (Terry Crews) participate in an operation where they have to carry body cameras on their suits to pursue a perp. However, Boyle spills soup all over his camera and leaves to change his clothes. Rosa catches the perp in a restaurant's bathroom but finds Boyle naked, all while filming with her camera. The precinct is then forced to watch the video in order to evaluate the operation. Also, Holt (Andre Braugher) tells Gina (Chelsea Peretti) they are undergoing a team-building exercise at an escape room. Due to everyone having plans, only Holt, Gina, Hitchcock (Dirk Blocker) and Scully (Joel McKinnon Miller) show up. Using their different tactics, they manage to escape the room.

= Critical reviews
="Karen Peralta" received generally positive reviews from critics. Genevieve Valentine of The A.V. Club gave the episode a "B+" grade and wrote, "If Brooklyn Nine-Nine has an ongoing problem, it's that unless it's a full-ensemble episode, any episode with every character in it is going to have some flimsy subplots." Allie Pape from Vulture gave the show a 3 star rating out of 5 and wrote, "All in all, though, the plotline feels pat, and the jokes are only mediocre — I liked Amy's initial bit about how she used to get away with impressing adults by singing 'The Itsy-Bitsy Spider,' but then having her go ahead and do it not once, but twice, was pretty weak."
Andy Crump of Paste gave the episode a 8.9 rating and wrote, "There are so many stray observations worth making about Brooklyn Nine-Nine's latest installment that figuring out where to start is like ice-skating uphill. Stephanie Beatriz deserves to be cast in an action movie so she can kick asses full time; only Joe Lo Truglio can over-enunciate 'ph?' with devastating comic effect; we don't actually know Hitchcock and Scully as people, and that's mostly our own fault; Holt is forever the greatest; Amy's propensity for nerdiness is only outmatched by her willingness to take the uncomfortable social bullets for people she cares about. Put more simply, 'Karen Peralta' is a packed episode brimming with good jokes and better character development."
