Ep 5. Halloween IV

It's Halloween time in Brooklyn Nine-Nine and the squad is gearing up for their annual Halloween heist competition. This year, the stakes are higher than ever as the winner will not only receive the title of "Amazing Human/Genius," but also the coveted championship belt.

The episode kicks off with the squad in full costume, with Jake dressed as John McClane from Die Hard and Gina as Sia. After a few rounds of playful banter, they quickly get down to business as Holt unveils the rules for the heist. This year, the heist will take place in the precinct itself, with each member in a different room. The objective is to steal a crown from the evidence locker and whoever ends up with it at the end is the winner.

The dynamic of the heist quickly changes as Terry reveals that he will be sitting the competition out this year because he doesn't want to risk injury with his new baby on the way. This leaves the rest of the squad scrambling for a new strategy, with Amy stepping up as the self-proclaimed "ringer" of the group.

As the competition begins, the squad is split up and the chaos ensues. Each member must navigate their respective rooms, which are filled with a variety of obstacles, including Dracula's coffin, an elevator full of clowns and a literal laser maze (courtesy of Charles). Meanwhile, the squad takes turns trying to one-up each other in impressive displays of skill and cunning in an attempt to get one step closer to the crown.

In addition to the intense competition, the episode also features a fun subplot involving Rosa and her new girlfriend, Jocelyn. Rosa is hesitant to bring Jocelyn to the precinct Halloween party, as she's worried about her coworkers' opinions. But, after some encouraging words from Boyle, Rosa decides to take the plunge and introduce Jocelyn to the gang.

Overall, the Halloween IV episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is a perfect blend of humor and intensity. The heist competition is always a fan-favorite, and this year's addition didn't disappoint. The banter between characters is as witty as ever, and the addition of Rosa's subplot adds a sense of heart to the episode. Whether you're a die-hard Nine-Nine fan or just looking for a great Halloween-themed episode, Halloween IV is a must-watch.
