''Valloween'' is the eleventh episode of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s seventh season.

It's heist time, once again, at the Nine-Nine. This time, the squad is splitting into teams with the added twist that teammates have to remain handcuffed together for the duration, Jake with Holt, Amy with Charles, and Rosa with Scully. Terry, meanwhile, declares he's retired and Hitchcock is ignored. As usual, HilarityEnsues.

However, things go awry and the heist, which began in Halloween, 2019, is still ongoing in Easter, ''2020!''.

!!This episode provides examples of the following:

* CallBack: Rosa mentions her dog Arlo, who appeared exactly once in "[[Recap/BrooklynNineNineS3E12NineDays Nine Days]]".
* GambitPileup: Each team piles on gambit after gambit until it's impossible to tell who's trying to outwit who.
* LampshadeHanging:
** Jake notes that each heist is meaner and more vindictive than the last, drawing attention to the escalating nature of each heist episode.
** The episode is unsubtle about hiding Melissa Fumero's pregnancy by pointing out the strange outfits Amy wears and blatantly hiding her abdomen behind set dressing.
* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: The characters make some metatextual commentary on the nature of ''Series/BrooklynNineNine'''s heist episodes and their gags.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Although he keeps saying he's out, Terry eventually decides that he wants to participate.
* OverlyLongGag: Cheddar's introduction is the same sequence played over and over again to pad for time.
* TimePassageBeard: Bill goes from being clean-shaven, to scruffy, to fully bearded (and completely beaten down) across the episode's three time periods.
