It’s that time of the year again, and what’s better than re-watching Brooklyn Nine-Nine Halloween Heist episodes? The hit police procedural sitcom premiered on September 17, 2013, on Fox and wrapped up after an eight-season run on NBC on September 16, 2021.
Created by Dan Goor and Michael Schur, the series follows seven NYPD detectives as they navigate their professional and personal lives. Captain Raymond Holt leads the team, keeping the squad in check despite their hilarious antics. The show features a star-studded cast that includes Andy Samberg, Melissa Fumero, Terry Crews, Stephanie Beatriz, and Andre Braugher, to name a few.
Among the show’s memorable moments, Halloween Heists stand out as fan-favorites. The hilarious twists, shocking betrayals, and the squad’s attempt to outsmart each other and steal the object before time runs out are the highlights of these episodes. Even though it began as a simple bet between Detective Jake Peralta and Captain Raymond Holt, it became an annual event.

What if a Halloween Heist turns into a proposal? Yes, that’s what happened in the fifth Halloween Heist special episode. The episode is full of twists and turns as each squad member tries to outsmart the other. Jake makes a bunch of Handmaid’s Tale cosplayers enter the precinct, and Amy locates the cummerbund only to find out that the inscription says,
“Amy, will you marry me?”
The heist takes a romantic turn as Jake gets down on his knees to propose to Amy, who happily says yes. Thus, technically, no one emerges as the winner of Halloween Heist in this episode.
