Written by Michelle Ashford
Directed by Jorge Montesi
Airdate: October 13, 1990
Guest Star: David Barry Gray (Officer Dean Garrett); Alexandra Powers (Kati Rocky)
The first episode to air on syndication, "Tunnel of Love" was intended to air during the previous season. David Barry Gray returns as Dean Garrett (debuted in "Everyday is Christmas) and is now part of Jump Street, while DEA officer Kati Rocky also made her debut during a brief stint on the series.
Hoffs and Garrett are investigating a prostitution ring that's also dealing drugs. Garrett develops a soft spot for one of the girls (Kati) only to find she's working undercover for the DEA. Together the three of them work together and arrest the local kingpin. The episode ends with Kati joining the Jump Street program.
A lackluster episode, notable for its lack of suspense and laborious attempt to integrate new characters into the cast. The absence of Hanson, Penhall (he will make a few appearances this season), and Ioki already leaves an empty feeling. The future of the series really hinged on introducing vibrant new characters, a struggle throughout its final season.
