Directed by Zale Dalen
Airdate: February 16, 1991
Guest Star: Beth Toussaint (Samantha); Kelli Fox (Lisa)
The FBI recruits Mac to date the daughter of a local drug lord so they can make an arrest. The assignment tests Mac's ethics to the limit, the idea of using an innocent teenage girl just to get her father is rather unseemly. Throughout the Jump Street series, whenever the FBI gets involved, they are often the villains.
Meanwhile Mac tries to reconnect with his ex-girlfriend Samantha who happens to be in town. He's able to charm Lisa but finds that she's ignorant of her father's activities. Meanwhile, his undercover activity quickly alienates Samantha.
As far as the fifth season goes, "In the Name of Love" is a strong episode. Bendetti carried the episode along well enough and it revisits the theme of ethics and undercover work. But there's hardly any action, episodes at this point are mostly just people in rooms talking.
