After the spasm and orgy of unjustifiably low ratings for the politically incorrect season 8 opener, The Lake House is more standard and comfort fare that Brooklyn Nine-Nine is successful at delivering. It's a shame though Hitchcock has retired and appears only through Facetime, but still the jokes fly thick and fast in this episode. The Captain and Kevin are seeking to heal their same-sex relationship, and maybe they can do so by the next episode.
