Hanson's old chum Russell from the previous season, this time causing trouble after he wrote a magazine expose on the Jump Street program. Hanson's placed on suspension and must track down his friend to clear his name.
Buckins is tracked down to San Francisco where Hanson finds him courting a rich heiress, Louise. Hanson also takes a liking to Louise, leading to some plot hijinks. Hanson convinces Buckins to clear his name.
A lackluster episode on many fronts. Buckins is more annoying this time around and brings little to the table, while Hanson seems detached even though his career in on the line. The farcical tone of the episode works at times, but it feels like it belongs in another series. TV veteran Joseph Campanella provides some charisma as Louise's wealthy father.
