"The Jelly Lakes" is the ninth episode of the first season of the American animated sitcom series Tuca & Bertie. It was written by Shauna McGarry, and features guest appearances by Jane Lynch and Isabella Rossellini. The episode features Tuca and Bertie reconciling while on a visit to the Jelly Lakes, with Bertie coming to terms following a traumatic sexual assault she had faced when she was 12.
The episode was praised for its approach towards the subject matter, its survivor-centric storytelling, and use of visual medium. Lisa Hanawalt, series creator, chose not to depict Bertie's assault and deliberately avoided showing the perpetrator's face or hearing the perpetrator's voice. The episode additionally features an all-female cast. It was nominated for three awards during the 47th Annie Awards, of which it won one, for Shauna McGarry's writing for the episode.
