Still early in the run of Brooklyn 99, “Halloween 2” was fleshing out the characters, and as a result, it’s fairly grounded compared to the later seasons. This time around, the heist target is Holt’s watch, and Jake enlists the entire squad to help him get it, but unlike the first time out, everything goes wrong almost from the start.

There are twists and turns as Jake descends further into madness, and in what becomes a staple of the heist, there’s multiple layers of deception. A recurring Brooklyn 99 bit debuted here as well, with the introduction of Gina’s (Chelsea Perretti) dance team. Also, one of the best Jake lines of the season, “You can’t wash a car,” explains so much about where he started as a character.
