"The Lake House" is the 2nd episode of the eighth season of the American television police sitcom series Brooklyn Nine-Nine, and the 145th overall episode of the series. The episode was written by Neil Campbell and Marcy Jarreau and directed by Kevin Bray. It aired on August 12, 2021 on NBC, airing back-to-back with the previous episode, "The Good Ones".
The show revolves around the fictitious 99th precinct of the New York Police Department in Brooklyn and the officers and detectives that work in the precinct. In this episode, in order to help Holt through his separation, the squad goes with him on a weekend getaway to his Lake House, but Jake (with Terry's help) is actually planning to reunite Holt and Kevin. Meanwhile, Boyle helps Amy with Mac although the situation quickly spirals out of control while Rosa bonds with Scully while under the influence of cannabis edibles.
The episode received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised the humor, though some found the episode to be too formulaic.
