21 Jump Street: S5E4: "Poison"

Written by Ann Donahue

Directed by Don McBearty

Airdate: November 3, 1990

Guest Star: Perrey Reeves (Tracy Hill); Richard Leacock (Jam)

Undercover Officer Tracy Hill from narcotics is temporarily assigned to Jump Street to help take down High School drug dealer "Jam." Penhall becomes smitten with Tracy, but soon discovers her risky methods hide a deeper problem.

DeLuise does a good job in the episode, still raising Clavo, he decides to take a chance on Tracy. But as we find out, she became a user at some point in her undercover work. The plot never rises above typical TV cop show tropes, but the acting was above average.

Perrey Reeves still works today, and she brought a lot to her role as Tracy, her charisma and edge would've made her an excellent member of the cast. Penhall even says at the end, "I hope she comes back."
