YMMV / Brooklyn Nine Nine S 4 E 05 Halloween IV

• Ho Yay: This episode is chock full of these moments.
  • Jake claims to be "a little turned on" by Holt's threat of "slitting [Jake and Amy] open from mouth to anus and wearing [them] like jackets."
  • When Hitchcock and Scully are assigned to watch Terry in case he tries to make a surprise victory like Amy did, Hitchcock promises to keep his eyes glued to Terry's ass.
  • When Rosa asks Amy to show her what her plan for the heist is:
    Rosa: Come on, Amy. (in a seductive voice) Show me the binder.
    • After Amy tells her the plan:
      Rosa: That's my girl.
      (Amy breathes in sharply)
  • This exchange between Holt and Charles:
    Charles: I feel so used! Am I just a piece of meat to you?
    Holt: Yes. Now put on a smile, Pork Chop.
  • And Holt keeps calling him "Pork Chop."
    Holt: (whispering) Yes, Pork Chop, yessss.
  • Bill continually emphasizing that he's willing to do anything Jake wants, as long as Jake pays.
    Jake: Thanks for coming back, Bill. I really needed a teammate.
    Bill: Hey man, you're paying.
    Jake: Yeah. You can take the wig off if you want.
    Bill: Whatever you want, man. You're paying.
    Jake: Could you stop saying that, Bill? It's making me a little uncomfortable.
    Bill: All right, man, it's your money.
  • Hitchcock admiring Terry's body.
  • Rosa rolling her eyes and smiling with uncharacteristic fondness at Amy after Amy declares that she never wants the night to end.
  • Charles mistakenly thinks Holt is talking to him when he's actually talking to Cheddar... even though Holt referred to himself as "daddy" when addressing the dog.
    Holt: And now, boy, it's time to make Daddy proud.
    Charles: Yes, sir.
    Holt: I could not have been more clearly talking to the dog.
  • Bill continuing to read weird sexual implications into anything Jake says.
    Jake: We got to stop playing by the rules and start playing dirty. Follow my lead, Bill.
    Bill: Okay, but first, I should tell you my safe word is "cabbage."
  • Jake making Charles jealous of his closeness with Bill.
    Charles: [Bill]'s just a prop for the heist.
    Jake: Sure, it started out that way. [Takes Bill's hand] But you know how these things go. Spending time together. Sharing intimate secrets. [Pats Bill's shoulder] Laughing about nothing in particular. [Laughs]
  • Gina wearing Amy's clothes.
• They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot: Given how Gina is a massive Creator's Pet, the fact she's Out of Focus throughout the episode until The Reveal (and thus, her victory is completely out of left field) makes giving her the victory come off as Character Shilling. Conversely, Boyle is severely mistreated by Holt and manipulated by Jake, which would have made him being the real victor an entertaining The Dog Bites Back moment had he stolen the victory from them. Alterntatively, given that they made a Running Gag of Terry refusing to participate, in-spite of the harassment he gets from the others assuming he was trying to steal the victory, it would have been satisfying and completely deserved if he decided part-way-through to screw them all over and take the victory for himself. Both would have actually had great motivations for wanting to steal the victory as well, whereas Gina never once expressed any issue with 'Detective' part of 'Detective/Genius', and her claim of being discriminated against is unfounded, so her motivation is lacking.
