Answer
Jamie Babbit
Jamie Babbit directed the season 5 Halloween heist episode “HalloVeen.”
“HalloVeen” is the fourth episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine’s fifth season and the 94th episode overall. It first aired on Fox on October 17, 2017. The episode was written by series co-creator Dan Goor and directed by Jamie Babbit, who also directed several other television comedy episodes and features.
The story centers on the precinct’s fifth annual Halloween heist. Instead of stealing a conventional object, the competitors target a championship cummerbund, with the winner receiving the title “Amazing Human/Genius.” Jake, Amy, Holt, Rosa, Terry, Charles, Gina, Hitchcock and Scully all become involved in shifting alliances and elaborate deceptions.
Viewers sometimes confuse Babbit with Michael McDonald, who directed both parts of “The Big House,” or Claire Scanlon and Dean Holland, who directed other Brooklyn Nine-Nine episodes. “HalloVeen” has a single credited director: Jamie Babbit. Its proposal storyline also makes it one of the series’ most consequential heist episodes.
