Brooklyn Nine-Nine: Every Halloween Heist RANKED!

7. Valloweaster (Season 7 Episode 11)

Season 7's heist episode is a valiant effort that sadly can't hope to live up to previous offerings, thanks to an over-reliance on gimmicks and a number of scenes that give off an unfortunate sense of deja-vu.

The first gimmick is that this heist takes place across three holidays (Halloween, Valentine's Day, and Easter) which is a neat idea in theory but sadly doesn't add much. The same is true of the second gimmick, which involves the squad being paired off and handcuffed together, a premise with tons of potential for slapstick comedy which is unfortunately not capitalised on.

The objective of this year's heist is to steal three gems from the Infinitude Gobbler, a knockoff of Thanos' Infinity Gauntlet that Jake bought from Russian eBay. While funny, this feels a bit random and impersonal compared to previous heist trophies.

This general sense of being underwhelmed continues throughout the episode, and while the twists and turns are clever enough, they're fairly predictable as many feel similar to past heists. The main problem with this heist is that it feels uninspired, and lacks the emphasis on character that previous Halloween Heists weaved into their intricate plots so expertly. It's still a fun watch for fans, but it deserves no higher than last place.
