Gina Rodriguez played Alicia, Rosa's love interest in Brooklyn Nine-Nine

In one of the series' most unforgettable and chaotic episodes (Season 5, Episode 22), the squad was trying to set up Amy and Jake's wedding. Gina Rodriguez portrayed Alicia, the Lyft driver whose presence silenced Rosa Diaz. Terry and Rosa had one job: take Amy's wedding veil to the dryers and get it cleaned. While waiting for their Lyft driver, Terry asked Rosa about her dating situation, to which an irritated Rosa replied that she was not looking for someone.

That was until Alicia, their Lyft driver, arrived. As Alicia pulled up her car and confidently said,

"Hi, I'm here to pick up Rosa. Are you the one I'm looking for?"

Terry tried to set Rosa and Alicia up by leaving Amy's wedding veil in Alicia's car. As he exclaimed,

"Oh no, I left it in the car. It's not my fault. The driver was so hot. Not for me, but for Rosa. She was clearly flirting with her. I'll just call the company and call her back."

Well, it worked for Rosa. Rosa looked spellbound when she saw Alicia coming out of her car and swaying her hair. Rosa laughed as they spoke in unison,

"All hats are dumb."

Even though Terry and Rosa failed to dry clean Amy's wedding veil, Alicia helped Rosa pick Amy's wedding bouquet.

Why did Alicia and Rosa break up in Brooklyn Nine-Nine?

Charles was quite stunned to receive all of the information in one go. Rosa also revealed that she was double-dating after her break-up with Alicia. She told,

"Anyway, I am dating two other people."
