21 Jump Street: S4E7: "Out of Control"


Written
 by Thania St. John

Directed by Mario Van Peebles

Airdate: November 6, 1989

Guest Stars: Christine Elise (Quincy)

Hanson is assigned to investigate a string of robberies connected to a group of thrill-seeking students. Mario Van Peebles returned and once again brough a cinematic style to the episode. 

Hanson bonds with student Quincy, played by Christine Elise who leaves an impression, the de facto leader of the group. There are two tense scenes: students swap cars while speeding on the road and they like to play chicken with a rollercoaster.

Fuller chastises Hanson for going along with these stunts. Even Penhall and Ioki feel he took things too far. Once again, Hanson talks about quitting. We also learn Ioki is struggling with pain pill addiction.

The story's a bit thin, but the stylistic sequences more than make up for it.
